    B) i ve also chatted  to people ingame and a lot say they ve also encountered similar issues . so i doubt if its down to peoples inability to set up thier systems properly .

     

    I split this up to address parts of the OPs post individually.  For parts A & B...

    The plural of anecdote is anedotes - not data. 

    For everyone that has said that their system, which runs every other program in the known world perfectly, but wont run AoC... there are others with less spectacular gaming systems that are running it fine, on medium setting  etc.

    There are many variables in who well a computer functions.  But FunCom has done actual research on what type of system can run AoC.  If some individual person's computer, which is 'better' than the recommended stats. wont run AoC, I suggest that it is likely a problem on their end.  (and with that, flames can begin... Now.)

    C)  there are also plenty of people with average pcs that are reporting how well it runs on thier paticular system .

    maybe this is down them willing to overlook how the game runs in populated areas .

    again its down to what you find personally acceptable .

    Ever consider that they might be telling the truth?  Ever look in the mirror and ... (OH!  Heaven forebid !)  consider that your system might be the weak part of the chain?  Not suggesting the exact cause or effect here, merely pointing out that their ANECDOTE cancels yours.

    D)  if your having any kind of doubt about how well it will run on your pc the chances are you might be disapointed .

    E)  my advice to you is wait untill theres a free trial and see how it runs on your system for yourself .

    F)  conan looks to be a great game but it does nt run well on a lot of mid range systems .try before you buy .

    D)  "Any kind of doubt", "chances are", "might be... " - In debates and philosophy these are called weasel words.  They add no data, no substance.  They back up their emotional nothingness with... you guessed it, nothing.  I see no evidence that your opinion is could possibly prove that people would not be able to run AoC with a computer that meets or exceeds recommended specs.
    

    E)  My advice, if your computer meets or exceeds the recommended specs, is to buy the game and try it on your own computer.  It is only a few dollars and if you unsubscribed from another MMO for a month while trying this fun game it would be about 1/3 less in total cost.

    F)  Conan runs great on systems worse than specs.  It also runs well on systems that are better than specs.  I trust that a software company will have done more research on exactly what systems would run a game than a few individuals in a non-controlled test.

    AoC seems to be an incredably stabble, very bug free game (and it hasn't even gone gold yet).  If purchasing the Box for $50 and trying the game is such a burden to anyone's budget, they shouldn't be playing games anyhow.  Its fifty bucks, a few minutes worth of work, a few StarBucks coffees... sheesh.  It is money well spent.

    

    Oh shutup. You seem to be a fanboi.

    The review from the OP has immensely helped me. I was thinking whether my system would run AOC well and after reading the original post I am sure it wouldn't run it.

    Thanks a bunch. You saved me 50 bucks

• • AoC Official Forums: Why Can't I Use Them?! + Merge Topic

  • This sucks. The first thing I do when a new game is about to launch is to get into the official forums and check the threads to see whether there are any issues with the game. The first set of threads surely give you a good idea about the quality of the game.
