Ye that announcement was well written. I cannot get how people still compares AoC with Vanguard or even Darkfall.
They are blind or something?
Compare with Darkfall?? Darkfall dont wanna be compared to a overhyped shitgame like AoC.
Darkfall is a quality game.
And whos blind isnt the no-sayers, its the AoC fanbois.
Darkfall is a quality game? Did you just say that?
Ok, I'll bite.
Where is Darkfall? I mean, where can I try this quality game? Have you played it? Do you know ANYONE who has played it? Do you know any professional gaming site that has seen it? Do you in fact even know for absolute certain that a working build of Darkfall exists?
Didn't think so.
But in your small brain, you not only come to bash another game, you have the audacity to compare the game you're bashing, to a game that doesn't even exist, that we actually know of.

You two guys are simply unbelievable.
Neither of you have actually played AOC. Aragon certainly has not. But, yet he calls it an "overhyped shit game". Nice. Keep in mind, both your opinions are based on nothing. You haven't even played AOC.
And... I'm not bashing Darkfall. I was simply responding to another hate filled post by someone with an agenda.
Since you allude to having a "large" brain, let me get your reasoning straight in my "small" mind.
You guys constantly bash AOC, a game you haven't even played first hand. Yet, you hype the wonders of Darkfall, a game that doesn't even exist in any playable form that anyone has experienced.
Makes perfect sense to me.
I stand corrected. We shall all bow down to the wisdom and insight of Tdog and Aragon.

My main concern from the PvP weekend besides the performance I had (which wasn't good, but may have been my P4 processor?) was the lack of openess. I played the tortage part and you had to pretty much just stay on this trail. You couldn't explore at all. Not sure if that part will be different than the release, but it was shocking. You couldn't go over hills or off the trail much at all. Very linear. The graphics and character models, armor etc. were awesome. But I couldn't get over my disappointment about that.
ummmm....that was the tutorial. MOst games have a linear tutorial session, designed to get you familiar with the basics of game mechanics.
As for performance....I actually have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Considering the fact that it was an old client version, stripped down to fit into a 7gb download, with debuggers and loggers running alongside the game code, I managed to get frame rates of 30-40 fps on a three year old machine.

I have not bashed AoC. All I said is the video's and reviews I have read lead me to believe that AoC is going to be another Vanguard. If anything we are just responding to AoC fanbois bashing Darkfall none stop on the Darkfall forum.
I will be trying AoC out during open beta starting May 1st. We shall see if AoC is nothing more then Vanguard 2.0 or if AoC is indeed as good as some of you fanbois believe.
I was a huge Vanguard fanboy, I bashed everyone that posted negitive reviews and I countered post after post because I was in Closed beta for Vanguard for over 9 months but guess what, I can do something that not many of you can.
I WAS WRONG ABOUT VANGUARD. I hope I am wrong about AoC. I hope I am not wrong about Darkfall.
I can admit when I am wrong, I am willing to bet that we will not see alot of "I am sorry, I was wrong" Threads if AoC bombs. Likewise, I will bet that when Darkfall is releases we will not see the "I was wrong, I love this game" threads on the Darkfall forums.
NDA is now just for the sake of it. Open beta 1 week away and game has gone gold. Maybe I should just start spilling the cold hard truths right now.
Please do.
Between all the Negitive reviews and beta leaks, it seems we have another Vanguard coming on soon but I have not tested the game myself, all I have seen are Video's so far.
I will be trying it during open beta. (Waiting on Darkfall Currently)
If you can or would PM about the Necromancer class. (if you have any info).
I can most assuredly say that it is no Vanguard. However, I can also say that it is not going to be as huge of a game as some people hope it will turn out to be.

I've played both, and even in the little beta test this last weekend, AoC had less bugs and performance issues than Vanguard had 2 weeks ago when I played it.

This i completely agree with.
I don't disagree either. Regardless of what Tdog thinks, I am NO "fanboi" of any game.
But keep this is mind. I generally give any new MMO a try when it comes out. It's my hobby and passion. Some, turn out to be excellent and hold my attention for quite some time. Others, I simply don't care for.
But... Regardless... To each his own and everyone is entitled to their opinions of what they like and dislike. I just don't understand the "hate" and bashing of a game that someone hasn't even played. Will never make sense to me.
I've played both, and even in the little beta test this last weekend, AoC had less bugs and performance issues than Vanguard had 2 weeks ago when I played it.
Also priceless....
After having left Vanguard "the game that still feels beta a year after release"...AoC will be a breath of fresh air.
I do not expect perfection on release, but I expect fun...
I expected too much out of LOTRO, and boy was I disappointed..release was a dream...all smooth, yet look at it now...boring and same ole same ole
Yet everyone poo-poo's EQ2, and it is considerably more fun than LOTRO...and look how rough it was when it started...
So, I think all we can do is wait and form our opinion based on the actual game...because hype or slams do nothing at this time...
When the game releases...then come back and say "I told ya so..."
For now...everything I see looks good, and the fact Funcom has to answer to investors means they will be making some extra efforts to make a good game...
Look at companies who did not have to answer to anyone...Turbine and Sigil....nuff said

damn dude, you came all the way over HERE to bash LOTRO?
Is it possible for you to create ONE post where you don't?
I'm glad you're liking the looks of AoC, but seriously dude...you need to let your bitterness go and stop ranting about LOTRO. Move on. I don't think I was bitter at my ex-wife for this long
I seriously doubt that LOTRO will survive the launch of both AoC and WAR anyway, as most are playing just for something to take up the time.

Sorry...first mention in quite a few posts...and will post what I wish, when I wish...but, thanks for your concern...
Anyways, it exists in my sig, so in reality, EVERY post will say something about LOTRO...so, no matter what I post, it will ALWAYS tell the fine quality of the cardboard tasting gameplay in LOTRO...eat one Big Mac, will always taste like the next Big Mac...
AoC looks way better...and kind of exciting...almost like eating a new type of food...anticipating the flavor of something new...who knows....
Sorry...what were we discussing...was salivating over the AoC release..

Not disagreeing with you on AoC at all. was just a bit amused.
I've watched the game for a long time.. I signed up on thier forums in 2005.. As you can see, I hardly post.. I'm not bias at all, in fact, I "had" 3 copies pre-ordered.
I'm no doomsayer, I'm no hater. I wanted aoc to work out, for me, it didnt.
To me, it was actually boring. I wasnt in a pvp fight that felt like a fight. It wasnt like, man, I just missed getting that combo off and I would have won. It was more like, wtf just happened?
At times it reminded me of a cheap version of mortal combat or street fighter (online).
I see people keep saying it was an old client, I even saw someone say, why spend the money using the newer client? Because, you have to spend money (marketing) to make money?
If Im wanting to sell something next month, Im sure going to use my best example to try to sell it to you. im not going to show you the old version I had and tell you, I have a better version, but wait until you buy it before you see it.
I think it boils down to people having high expectations and wont take failure for an option, maybe. They want aoc to work so bad, their willing tosit an argue in a forum over it to try to justify paying for that new pc, or justify all the time spent following the game.
When I first played, I was like, this might be a good game.. water looks cool, nice graphics, but after playing, I wouldnt play it if it was free.
Some people might like it, some people wont.. I'm not gonna try and "make" myself like it.
As far as how it ran.. I have a 4800 dual core with 4 gigs of ram and a 512 pcie vid card.. It rand terrible.. but then, I expected that going in, since it's not retail.
To be honest, I was surprised that the general impression was more positive than negative. Given the past few weeks and the changes I've experienced, I now believe that the game will have a good launch.
What remains to be seen is whether it will keep the people drawn to it once the honeymoon period is over. And no, the honeymoon period is not the first month. The first month is only for the people who have done no research and just bought blindly a copy (most of them don't bother with forums of any kind).
... If anything we are just responding to AoC fanbois bashing Darkfall none stop on the Darkfall forum ....
This my friend, is the very definition of trolling.
Do you think that other people trolling justifies doing it yourself?
Yes, if they can troll, I can troll.
Second its not trolling if I am responding to a post directed at me.
You sir are the first person on these boards I consider blocking from view. At least you're an honest troll. There are others that will not openly admit that they have zero input on the threads they post and they just do it to stir trouble.

What we dont have is a ton of useless hype from the Developers. Just because they do not follow the same path as other MMO gaem companies doesn't mean they are anything less.
The Tired and True is not the only way to make and market a video game, sorry to inform you but some companies go againts the norm and do very very well.
You two guys are simply unbelievable.
Neither of you have actually played AOC. Aragon certainly has not. But, yet he calls it an "overhyped shit game". Nice. Keep in mind, both your opinions are based on nothing. You haven't even played AOC.
And... I'm not bashing Darkfall. I was simply responding to another hate filled post by someone with an agenda.
Since you allude to having a "large" brain, let me get your reasoning straight in my "small" mind.
You guys constantly bash AOC, a game you haven't even played first hand. Yet, you hype the wonders of Darkfall, a game that doesn't even exist in any playable form that anyone has experienced.
Makes perfect sense to me.
I stand corrected. We shall all bow down to the wisdom and insight of Tdog and Aragon.
I have not bashed AoC. All I said is the video's and reviews I have read lead me to believe that AoC is going to be another Vanguard. If anything we are just responding to AoC fanbois bashing Darkfall none stop on the Darkfall forum.I will be trying AoC out during open beta starting May 1st. We shall see if AoC is nothing more then Vanguard 2.0 or if AoC is indeed as good as some of you fanbois believe.
I was a huge Vanguard fanboy, I bashed everyone that posted negitive reviews and I countered post after post because I was in Closed beta for Vanguard for over 9 months but guess what, I can do something that not many of you can.
I WAS WRONG ABOUT VANGUARD. I hope I am wrong about AoC. I hope I am not wrong about Darkfall.
I can admit when I am wrong, I am willing to bet that we will not see alot of "I am sorry, I was wrong" Threads if AoC bombs. Likewise, I will bet that when Darkfall is releases we will not see the "I was wrong, I love this game" threads on the Darkfall forums.

Between all the Negitive reviews and beta leaks, it seems we have another Vanguard coming on soon but I have not tested the game myself, all I have seen are Video's so far.
I will be trying it during open beta. (Waiting on Darkfall Currently)
If you can or would PM about the Necromancer class. (if you have any info).
I can most assuredly say that it is no Vanguard. However, I can also say that it is not going to be as huge of a game as some people hope it will turn out to be.

This i completely agree with.
I've played both, and even in the little beta test this last weekend, AoC had less bugs and performance issues than Vanguard had 2 weeks ago when I played it.

I don't disagree either. Regardless of what Tdog thinks, I am NO "fanboi" of any game.
But keep this is mind. I generally give any new MMO a try when it comes out. It's my hobby and passion. Some, turn out to be excellent and hold my attention for quite some time. Others, I simply don't care for.
But... Regardless... To each his own and everyone is entitled to their opinions of what they like and dislike. I just don't understand the "hate" and bashing of a game that someone hasn't even played. Will never make sense to me.
After having left Vanguard "the game that still feels beta a year after release"...AoC will be a breath of fresh air.
I do not expect perfection on release, but I expect fun...
I expected too much out of LOTRO, and boy was I disappointed..release was a dream...all smooth, yet look at it now...boring and same ole same ole
Yet everyone poo-poo's EQ2, and it is considerably more fun than LOTRO...and look how rough it was when it started...
So, I think all we can do is wait and form our opinion based on the actual game...because hype or slams do nothing at this time...
When the game releases...then come back and say "I told ya so..."
For now...everything I see looks good, and the fact Funcom has to answer to investors means they will be making some extra efforts to make a good game...
Look at companies who did not have to answer to anyone...Turbine and Sigil....nuff said

LOL. QFT
Aren't you a doomsayer in the WAR forum ?

damn dude, you came all the way over HERE to bash LOTRO?Is it possible for you to create ONE post where you don't?
I'm glad you're liking the looks of AoC, but seriously dude...you need to let your bitterness go and stop ranting about LOTRO. Move on. I don't think I was bitter at my ex-wife for this long
I seriously doubt that LOTRO will survive the launch of both AoC and WAR anyway, as most are playing just for something to take up the time.

Anyways, it exists in my sig, so in reality, EVERY post will say something about LOTRO...so, no matter what I post, it will ALWAYS tell the fine quality of the cardboard tasting gameplay in LOTRO...eat one Big Mac, will always taste like the next Big Mac...
AoC looks way better...and kind of exciting...almost like eating a new type of food...anticipating the flavor of something new...who knows....
Sorry...what were we discussing...was salivating over the AoC release..

Not disagreeing with you on AoC at all. was just a bit amused.I've watched the game for a long time.. I signed up on thier forums in 2005.. As you can see, I hardly post.. I'm not bias at all, in fact, I "had" 3 copies pre-ordered.
I'm no doomsayer, I'm no hater. I wanted aoc to work out, for me, it didnt.
To me, it was actually boring. I wasnt in a pvp fight that felt like a fight. It wasnt like, man, I just missed getting that combo off and I would have won. It was more like, wtf just happened?
At times it reminded me of a cheap version of mortal combat or street fighter (online).
I see people keep saying it was an old client, I even saw someone say, why spend the money using the newer client? Because, you have to spend money (marketing) to make money?
If Im wanting to sell something next month, Im sure going to use my best example to try to sell it to you. im not going to show you the old version I had and tell you, I have a better version, but wait until you buy it before you see it.
I think it boils down to people having high expectations and wont take failure for an option, maybe. They want aoc to work so bad, their willing tosit an argue in a forum over it to try to justify paying for that new pc, or justify all the time spent following the game.
When I first played, I was like, this might be a good game.. water looks cool, nice graphics, but after playing, I wouldnt play it if it was free.
Some people might like it, some people wont.. I'm not gonna try and "make" myself like it.
As far as how it ran.. I have a 4800 dual core with 4 gigs of ram and a 512 pcie vid card.. It rand terrible.. but then, I expected that going in, since it's not retail.

Yes, if they can troll, I can troll.
Second its not trolling if I am responding to a post directed at me.

To be honest, I was surprised that the general impression was more positive than negative. Given the past few weeks and the changes I've experienced, I now believe that the game will have a good launch.
What remains to be seen is whether it will keep the people drawn to it once the honeymoon period is over. And no, the honeymoon period is not the first month. The first month is only for the people who have done no research and just bought blindly a copy (most of them don't bother with forums of any kind).

You sir are the first person on these boards I consider blocking from view. At least you're an honest troll. There are others that will not openly admit that they have zero input on the threads they post and they just do it to stir trouble.
