Poll: Play AoC or not?

So, by now many people have a good idea what will come at release. Both positive and negative feedback. Atleast I have decided if I will play AoC. Have you?

    Of course it will not, it is like comparing apples to oranges to peaches. Which is the best fruit?


    Besides, even if I will move on to one of the others later on, I expect AoC to amuse me for a while, and I am sure that it will do just that. I do not intend to marry a computer game (be it AoC and otherwise), you are free to try other games on the market and move on if something better comes along - I really do not get that 'you are either with us or against us' mentality many mmo players sport now days.

    @OP
    I have preordered so I voted option 1. :)

    PS. Sorry for feeding the troll.

    I think AoC will do just fine. I don't think it can beat WoW in sub's, but it stands a good chance of being the second most popular game out there with around 200-300k subs easily. I have so many doubts about WAR though. WAR will be one of those games that either does really great, or super flops. Ive always stated that if anyone will beat WoW in subs, that game will come from Blizzard itself. Most people may hate WoW on these boards, but they cant deny that Blizzard just knows how to do it right. I hate WoW now, but in its haydays, it was my best MMO to date, and i started with EQ and DaoC. Cmon Diablo 3, or World of Diablo! :)

    lol...right.

    Aren't you getting sick of the same crap? WAR and it's like are just the same crap...with a new coat of paint.

    AoC takes the genre forward. Let's get off this damn treadmill and make some progress!

    So whats so super new?  Sieges..no...Player built Cities..no...Player Siegable Cities...no...PvP no...PvP Battlegrounds nope...Teired Raiding system ? Not really....  Ooh PvP Levels...not really.. 

    Its graphics and combat system are the only two things that stand out as 'different' than the rest.    Its still a class based level based non sandbox game..which is most people's chief complaint with other MMOs.

    Please Enlightment me with what makes AoC so much 1000 better than everything else...WAR atleast has some innovate & unique gameplay features.

    the Public Quests in WAR are not the "same crap"

    and something that ALL MMOS could benefit from and lack in

     

     

    both WAR and AOC offer new ideas

    Most people like class based, non sandboxed type MMO's. If not why are there so many people playing WoW? You might want to rephrase that to some. Because its only some peoples complaints, not the other way around. And in my opinion, sandbox games like SWG are pointless. I played SWG for maybe 2 days when it was first released and then it got pushed to the back burner and off my HD. Id rather sleep than play a game like that again.

    You just make me laugh... with that logic you can argue most games haven't been released with any new features at all since Nintendo 8-bits.

    Warg0ul would like to fly a helicopter to work since cars are the same boring crap...with a new coat of paint. Good luck crashing into buildings.

    The only new thing in AoC is the combat system really, the other things are built upon things that have been in other games. Making them better, maybe making them worse. And guess what? "WAR and it's like" are doing exactly the same.

The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

    You're just going to have to wait until release, unless you want to do some reading and educate yourself.

    Let me just state that besides the unique game mechanics that you completely missed in your little rant, the game as an entirety is an innovation.

    What is WAR? Another game with orcs and elves, using the same tired mechanics as all the games that come before it.

    It's WoW 2.0, nothing more.

    I've predicted AoC getting 200k consistent subs many times, if Funcom does things right it could easily increase in a year. Do you think 200k is not respectable and successful? Would a troll predict the game to be respectable and successful?

    This is a troll: HAHAH WTF THIS GAME IS TEH SUXOR OMG!!oneone111

    I may not like some things about it but I've already said there's good things about it.

    Public quests aren't new to WAR either.   Final Fantasy 11 has had it for years, it's called "Besieged" .

    One thing AoC does do to innovate is their melee combat system.   It can be down right overwhelming when you first try it, and its probably the reason a lot of people are put off by the game.   You need to realize that this is the first game in years to break the mold of WoW and forget everything you knew about fighting.   If your willing to put in the time to figure it out, there is a very rewarding combat experience. 

    Just like Anarchy online, this game is a bit more complex than a lot of people might be used to, and it is easy to see how some people who maybe only played WoW as their first and only MMO might throw their arms up and call it junk.  There's a game coming out for those people and it's called WAR.   But saying WAR is innovative in any way shape or form is laughable at best.   Counting how many mobs I've killed in a book on my guy isn't enough.   They are still doing the same lame ass kill 27 troll quests, and collect 72 dingleberry quests.   The most ironic part is that AoC follows more in the footsteps of DAOC than WAR does, and I'm talking a LOT more than just the initials.

    I think the newer player's use WoW as a benchmark as far as subs go,They seem to think a game needs 1mil+ to be a good game,WoW was,How can I say it a "fluke" it wont happen again,If you have a game doing 200k subs then you have done a great job,Trust me there is no "wow killer" comming.

    If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

    Hmm so basically you have no proof just claims is there..I've read plenty and none of it other than the two things I listed are anything remotely new.   Thank you come again..btw that wasn't a rant..simply a question for you to back up your claims.

     Its combat system is the only thing remotely new and honestly thats not enough for the type of Gameplay I enjoy.  

    btw to another poster I played FFXI Online and their Besieged quests are NOT anything like the PQ system from WAR. 

    I also think 200k Subs is a perfectly acceptable number will AoC get them? I dont know..Maybe..there are 400K people signed up for its beta.

    I've no problem with AoC I do how ever take issue with people hyping the game as this super awsome New game doing such new things when really they aren't.   They changed a mechanic that most people will just sort of forget about after the first year..its Content which actually keep people in game are nothing new to gush super hyperactive style.

    Well could you please enlighten us on what other innovative features that this game has that she didn't mention? I am not trying to flame you, but honestly I have been in technical tests, the pvp weekend, and followed the game for two years? Other than the IP (which is a bit obvious), the graphics, and the combat system (in this I include the active blocking, directional attacks, and fatalities) what is new? 

     

     

    The low fantasy? That has been done.  The progression tiered raiding? Been done. The crafting system? Been done in various other games, all they did is take bits and pieces and combine them (so I suppose if you call that innovative, then there is another). City building and sieging? Been done. Instanced PvP battlegrounds? Been done. Armor sets? Been done. Mounted combat? Been done. Bar room brawls? Been done. FFA PvP? Been done. PvP levels? Been done. One large open area for FFA PvP? Been done. Keep battles? Been done. Single player experience for introduction? Been done. Expansive character look customization? Been done. Item looting from PvP death? Been done. Beautiful music score? Been done.

     

    So please tell us instead of hiding behind the old research you noob type mentality.  I still plan to give AoC a go on May 20th.  I follow both it and WAR possibly planning and playing both when WAR comes out. So I seriously want to know what the other innovations are in this game.

    Btw degrading another game just to prove your point does not make you better than all the other trolls and flamers who are doing it.  You just become like them.

    Cheers!

     I would love to pilot a helicopter to work... I don't want to get into the argument, just saying that isn't exactly the best example.

    As for the actual OP's question, there is a good chance I will play AoC, but not at first. I was surprised to see how well the game did during this weekend... in fact, I was figuring the people at Funcom and Gamespot were going to cancel it. The character creation system was much better than expected, the single player part of the game was extremely entertaining, and I'll add that along with the PvP. I found that my 3 year old computer could play it pretty well, which was the most surprising thing of all. The only thing I didn't like was the majority of the animations, such as movement and jumping (the combat movement and combos were outstanding though!), the numerous glitches (more than I thought there would be for a game only a month away from release), and the mobs AI. I expected the lag, considering they were fitting over 10,000 people at once (assuming all 20,000 aren't playing at the same time) into one server, where as their regular servers will probably have a max capacity of 3,000. The UI was hard to get used to (which is why I figured everyone sucked in PvP) but is just something that looks possible to get used once people start to learn how to use it.

    The only thing that worries me about this game are the memory leaks and class balance. For most video games these two things are the kiss of death, and together it can prove devastating. They fixed the ranger the completely wrong way... the damage wasn't exactly the worst thing about the class... yeah, it was extremely high, but it is a rogue class after all. I think they should have just turned it down a little, they lowered it by way too much. The ToS basically acts as a better mage than any of the others and a better healer than any of the others into one. But these things can be fixed, and considering they'll have at least some time before class balance actually becomes a serious issue, it shouldn't be the very top of their priorities, even though admittedly these things should have been taken care of in the first place. The memory leaks are what I did not expect the most... it will take a while for the developers to get that sorted out, and I'd be surprised if it's fixed by launch.

    So yeah, some good things and some bad things about the game. A lot of things I expected that were good and bad, and a lot of things that I didn't expect that were good and bad. I was originally planning to not buy this game at all, since their launch seemed way too early for it's progress, then after learning a little more I decided to at least give it a try a couple weeks after launch. So I selected "Maybe, I'll give it a couple weeks" as my option for your poll. I expect a good amount of glitches, but it depends on how many and the seriousness of them on whether I buy this game. If it appears to only be a few, minor things left, then I'll buy it. If the game still has serious memory leaks and the like-wise, I don't think I'd want to waste too much money on it. It all depends on the reviews it gets from the major gaming sites I read from (I certainly can't trust this site for proper info, considering it's so biased, but I think I'll check out this site too on release just for shits and giggles...)

    No, I simply don't feel the need to write some huge essay when you could simply go the the AoC forums and find out for yourself.

    If you are content making statements based on ignorance and looking like a fool for doing so, I'm not going to stop you. It is your responsibility to educate yourself, not mine.

    Its graphics and combat system are the only two things that stand out as 'different' than the rest.    Its still a class based level based non sandbox game..which is most people's chief complaint with other MMOs.

    Please Enlightment me with what makes AoC so much 1000 better than everything else...WAR atleast has some innovate & unique gameplay features.

    You're just going to have to wait until release, unless you want to do some reading and educate yourself.

     

    Let me just state that besides the unique game mechanics that you completely missed in your little rant, the game as an entirety is an innovation.

    What is WAR? Another game with orcs and elves, using the same tired mechanics as all the games that come before it.

    It's WoW 2.0, nothing more.

     

    Hmm so basically you have no proof just claims is there..I've read plenty and none of it other than the two things I listed are anything remotely new.   Thank you come again..btw that wasn't a rant..simply a question for you to back up your claims.

     Its combat system is the only thing remotely new and honestly thats not enough for the type of Gameplay I enjoy.  

    btw to another poster I played FFXI Online and their Besieged quests are NOT anything like the PQ system from WAR. 

    I also think 200k Subs is a perfectly acceptable number will AoC get them? I dont know..Maybe..there are 400K people signed up for its beta.

    I've no problem with AoC I do how ever take issue with people hyping the game as this super awsome New game doing such new things when really they aren't.   They changed a mechanic that most people will just sort of forget about after the first year..its Content which actually keep people in game are nothing new to gush super hyperactive style.

    No, I simply don't feel the need to write some huge essay when you could simply go the the AoC forums and find out for yourself.

     

    If you are content making statements based on ignorance and looking like a fool for doing so, I'm not going to stop you. It is your responsibility to educate yourself, not mine.



    Stating WAR is WOW 2.0 is the same thing really it s redundant and stupid.

    The fact he can't and or refuses to list atleast 2 things is pretty sad if your that excited for your game.   I've read all their readily availabe information and its nothing new.   They took the best parts of Shadowbane, the worst part of WoW raids, mutated Crafting into some demonic creation that most crafters hate, lets see..ooh mounted combat from UO and a few other games, pick your own wording for NPC conversations...EQ1, cut scenes..really neglible since its a bit immersive breaking for an MMO in my opinion...smashable objects...DDO.

    Honestly  Just admit it..AoC is not super unique and Innovative other than its combat and high end graphics.    This doesn't make AoC a failure it just makes it really nothing super sexy special.  Hell I'd go as far as to say none of the games coming out this year are offering anything That Super Sexy Special, they're simply bringing forward features other games have neglected / layed waste too over the years.

    If your going to claim WoW 2.0 be prepared to back up your assumption making with some proof about the Game of your Choice.  Unless WoW suddenly abolishes its raiding system, adds some depth to its content, allows pvp at lvl 1, makes PvP its main focus at end game...well..then I'd call WoW a WAR 2.0

     

    Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!

    the fact that these features you list (with the moronic mantra of "done before") are consolidated into one game, streamlined, enhanced, and polished is unique in itself.

    What are you going to do, play 15 other games to experience those features, or a game that has them all.

    Maybe a lot of AoCs features were done in other games, but have been improved upon in this game.

    Besides the point, I am rather happy about the fact that they've taken the grind out of crafting, for example.

    The game is full of little innovative touches that individually aren't significant enough to make a features list, but collectively enhance the unique qualities as a whole.

    If you want to know more about them, as I said, go do some reading.
