Where is all the hate now...
1st it was the OB is the launch version so its crap, then it was "Im in closed beta and it runs like crap"
and "Your a fanboi and this game is going to fail"
Now what am i hearing.... "Past 20 the game gets boring" Are you Fing kidding me... please find another place to go. This game had a wonderful launch its running amazing and its far from boring. The combat keeps you on your toes, graphics are nothing short of amazing. And... you don' t have to have a super computer to run it.
So to all you hater out there, go back to WoW or w/e game you came from and leave us enjoy our golden egg.

For someone who got it in was a great day. But for the thousands of us who were left with a bit of paper and a promise it was terrible. Also it wasn't launch it was early access, we'll see how well it go's on Tuesday 9am pst.
Im not sure what all these "ant-hater or anti-basher" posts are all about. So far I have been reading very positive reviews since the EA started, yet I keep seeing all these posts. Who cares what people have said about the game. Their overall silence should be vindication enough for you. Instead I keep seeing all these flame bait type posts. You are doing exactly what the people you complain about did. Just enjoy the game! I cant wait myself to jump in this Tuesday. So please enjoy what I cannot until I can! Be happy for yourself and the game!
Cheers!

Um, what hate? Theres been nothing but good reviews for hours?
The 'Go back to WOW' cliché is a bit over used me thinks.
It is shocking to hear but not everyone is going to like the game. Now I'm enjoying EA but let's be honest here, this isn't the release of the game. The release of the game is tuesday. A controlled EA with limited players doesn't count for much. The game has been down 6 hours out of the first 29 hours even with the controlled numbers.
From everything I've read the lvl 20+ content is completely different than lvl 1-20 so I can't really judge anything yet.(I'm only lvl 13) and what really counts to me is the lvl 70+ game and that could still be the best thing ever or a complete flop. It is just too early to judge the game.
I will say from a technical standpoint the game is running pretty well so far, though I've spent most of my time in the 'night missions' which are basically solo player so it is hard to really tell just yet.
Im talking about all the threads when OB was going on. Its more of a I told you so thread. People never learn.
And the WoW thing sure is cliche' but its still true.
I just hit 25 before the servers went down. The content is just as good as it was for 1-20 if not better cause your not jammed all up in tortage and you can actually travel around. For 600k people at EA launch it went fairly smooth. Even if we have another 600k come on the 20th the launch will be smooth.
Your golden egg will rotten sooner then you thing...and "we" will be here to pat on your back..
Potbs was also an imba game wasnt it? anyone with common sense knows that potbs was crap...aoc isnt total crap..but its far from a real mmo...you will see that when you get to 80...some will just quit, some will go back to the previous games..most ppl will just wait for the next MassiveMorpg..because aoc isnt one...its a good game..but its not an MMORPG.
Primary features in an MMORPG are
-A Massive world, massive zones ( aoc has neither )
-No loadings in every zone and door ( aoc has loadings everywere)
-No instancing of zones ( aoc uses instancing of zones when a few more people join a zone, and thats not massive)
That is a logical fallacy called "Moving The Goal Post"
It is used as a fallacy to bring 'proof' out of the range of what evidence is presented. People want certain things in their lives to remain as they are. Foundational structures give people comfort. AoC has weakened the foundation under "WoW (or insert game-X here) is the best game ever"
When you destabilize peoples belief systems, even over the coolness of a toy, they will fight tooth and nail against having to incorporate new data in to their world view.
"The reality of the poor in America isn't the difference between The Haves and The Have Nots, it is the difference between The Haves and The Have Lots."
Massive zones! have you even walked the Boarder Kingdom?
EQ2 has the same zone tech as AoC so thats not an mmo?
Oh how i agree with this.
Sry thats all I have time for, cya!
I think that most of the people who aren't fascinated with this game are those of us who are used to huge, seamless world like in Lineage 2, SWG, etc. Going from a game like SWG to a game like Guild Wars is hard to do for some of us. After quitting SWG I played EQ2 and I HATED the zoning, it totally killed the game for me.
Some of us would rather have a huge open world rather than an instanced world with awesome graphics. Just remember that. But bashing AoC because it doesn't have this is stupid imo. AoC does what it does, and it does it damn well from what I hear.
wow im so unbelievably sick of this argument.... its like listening to guild wars haters all over again
first of all, how do you even know what will happen when people get to level 80?
guild wars is instanced and thousands of people still play and buy the expansions
and as far as i know instancing is supposed to end after lvl 20 (this argument is just as valid as your post because obviously neither of us have any proof)
also anyone that calls me a fanboi deserves to be slapped... i honestly dont care about this game, i did not preorder, i dont plan on buying it and i didnt register for the open beta/closed beta/anything.
i just hate ignorance
There are not 600k in the EA, 600k was the estimated number of users for release day on tuesday according to a funcom business plan. I have no clue how many are actually in EA but it is less than 600k.
I'm not gonna judge 20+ until I get there myself. I do like that you have 3 options of where to level at that point since I will want to level up more than one character I'm sure.
It's not 2000 anymore Loading zones are crap. In 2008 Loading zones equal a complete failure of immersion and game design. It's obvious that AOC developers put Graphics ahead of gameplay. And No loading, is now considered a basic MMO gameplay element. It's common sense.
ah really loading a zone in 5 secs is such gamebreaking, get over it or dont play
done done done
and to the guy with his list of primary mmo features, your so ignorant... everyone who complains about tiny zones hasnt played after lvl 20 which is very fast to reach, also the loading... if u dont like it fine dont play it, dont say its gamebreaking cause it isnt, and the instances.. same as EQ, and theres not soo much instances in the game when u look at the whole thing. AoC is clearly not a mmo with huge worlds without any instancing, some like it and some dont. and there are some who just want it to fail cause they dont like it, like you
MMOs currently playing: -
About to play: Lord of the Rings Online
Played: Anarchy Online (alltime favorite) and lots of f2p titles (honorable mentions: 9Dragons, Martial Heroes, Dekaron, Atlantica Online)
oh my i have to load every once in awhile boohoo, it's so much more immersion breaking then the empty/worthless areas that stretch for 5 minutes of running at a time.
"kill immersion" please. more like "I have to have perfection wherever i go".
A little load times kills your immersion? Did you just start gaming a week ago with GTA 4?
RPGs', action games, etc etc all have loading screens, and they still can retain immersion. It's your pig headed views which destroy immersion. Your hatred of it, increases their actual effect. If you weren't so stubborn you'd le tthe quality of the content immerse you, rather than the "seemless" worlds, which are all desolate and void of quality or interesting areas.
I haven't seen too many bash posts lately, but I agree that it needs to end.
I'm glad that people like Conan, and it appears to be a hit. We haven't had any really good MMO's come out since 2004, so even though I personally won't be playing AoC, it's good to know there there IS life after WoW.
So even if you're not a huge fan of this particular game, be happy that there's another MMO out that has succeeded. I was beginning to think the genre might dry up due to all the failures the last couple years.
GJ Funcom.
Man, have you seen a map of AoC? its like they took Europe, Asia, and Africa and Merged them together for 1 super huge continent
So its not an mmo... because theirs instances...
So Everquest wasn't an mmo either?Thats were this system came from?
No offense but how does PoTBS even stand next to AoC? The world is MASSIVE the zones are MASSIVE. Conals valley i think it is, Gigantic with a capital G. Kosefph or w/e is also huge. Instanced areas are almost non existent. Saying AoC isn't a real mmo is like saying EQ2 isn't one and we all know it is. This isn't Guildwars, you cant have a NPC party and your own personal instance.
Let me put it this way. I wish I could use my mount in some of the areas because they are so big traveling gets a little tedious. Comprende amigo?
Why would people quit at 80? So much to do end game 8 dungeons with Normal or Epic settings. Border kingdoms with siege battles and a guild city to take care of from harvesting resources crafting. Not to mention a BG similar to WoW which eventually will yield pvp rewards.
So all your doom and gloom fails to even break a sweat of the average gamer. This game is casual as well as hardcore. It will only get better with time and you sir will eventually join the crowd of people who I can say "I told you so" when you realize how great this game is.

Please. Look i'm happy for all you giggly over the top, hyped up AOC players, really i am. But to think that this game is the best thing to come out since slice bread is ridiculous.
There are a few MMO's on the horizon that i will wager will be way more indepth and have much better gamplay than AOC, and i'm not talking about WAR.
The bad thing about this game is that it has everything that WOW has and that alone makes it lame. The only thing that AOC has that no other MMO has, is the high tech graphics, in which i think hurts more than it helps.
When the new crop of MMO's that will be coming out has huge seemless worlds and open skill systems, no lvling and hardcore pvp, AOC will look like a linear rpg compared.
I myself was into AOC until i was invited to closed beta, and seen how linear and small the gameworld truly is. EQ2 sucked with it's loading screens and this game is not any differant.
The game is not total crap, it's just not that special either.

I hardly believe you was in closed beta , I consider you a darkfall follower by what you say. AoC isn't darkfall and vice versa. Sad thing is even when darkfall releases the crowd it will draw will be nothing much but a handfull of shadowbane players. And not that I don't want darkfall to be great cause im one of those people who want to play it, I just don't think it will come close to being a huge success. Besides that and the game being in production for so long I don't know when it will come out.
AoC is more then just fancy graphics my friend. The combat system alone is worth checking it out. I love it, spellweaving brings even more to the table along with the combo system/fatalities.
once I again if you are saying the world is small and you was in closed beta then your proving yourself full of Shitt.

Wrong. I was in closed beta, and the world zones were small. I come from SWG pre-cu/eve background so i know what a large open world feels like. Combat is nothing that groundbreaking either. The only thing AOC has that's better than other games is it's graphics. I honestly had to force myself to lvl 20, then after that it wasn't much differant other than a little less linear feel and a little bit more space to run around with invisable walls everywhere.
Amazing, next thing we'll hear is "PFFT, its fine NOW ... wait till 4 years from now, then tell we'll see if it's REALLY good..."
Grow up. If you dont like it, tell you friends, family pet, right hand, pamela anderson poster, etc etc ...but spare the online community of your baseless and useless opinions.
What "Promise" was broken? They said from DAY ONE that there would be LIMITED EARLY ACCESS SPOTS, SO HURRY AND GET YOURS NOW.
People need to learn to read, and stop blaming FunCom for their illiteracy.
