I'm undecided. I had absolutely no ctd's last pw. I have had 2 so far in this one. Actually, I just had one, thats why I'm here. Pathing seems improved but still a little buggy. The improvements to the ai are cool. They have some work to do but overall I find the game very playable and acceptable. Polish will come. I hate to sound like one of those "its a new release noob, what do you expect" people. I despise those people but the issues this game has really do seem minor.
I suggest you run this thread past your lawyer 'friends' and see what they say. You have made a judgement on supposition, therefore your argument is immediately flawed.
Let me spell this out in simple language so you can understand.
This thread is exactly what it says on the tin. It is a poll to see how the latest patch has impacted the game, whilst at the same time taking a pop at Age of Conan.
The 'miracle patch' was a label given to the AoC performance patch that was supposed to have fixed many stability issues with the game, just prior to the head start iirc. You allude to it in one of your rambles, so I believe you are with me to this point.
MBJ has also alluded to this 'miracle patch' in a side-swipe at Funcom in a well publicised post he made that indicated Mythic would be producing a much more stable game overall, and 'miracle patches wouldn't be needed. Another poster in this thread also referred to this post by MBJ, and I was amused to see irony sail straight over his head as well.
So, you actually couldn't have been more wrong. The motive of this thread was COMPLETELY the opposite of what you have portayed it to be. Interesting?
I'm sure you will now try to backtrack and try to convince yourself that somehow I'm cooking up one massively intricate smokescreen, to cover up the awful truth, just to pacify yourself and anyone else who for some strange reason seem to think you are remarkably clever, when in fact you look quite stupid and extremely naive.
Have you ever made a post that someone twisted so horribly, that regardless of what you said to defend yourself he/she was convinced they were right. How you /point and /laugh at them until your stomach hurts? How you think, 'omg, that poor sod, I wonder what would happen if I put him in a round room and asked to him count the corners....'
That is how I'm looking at you now .
I hope that helps...

I just found this. Something else you were completely wrong about .
I see you continue to follow my advice and refute the implication made by comparison of WAR to AOC. That was all the clarification I was ever asking you to make, do you stand by the comparison or reject it. Previously you kept going after me by making fun of me and not addressing the issue. You have finally addressed the issue in clear english and proper paragraphs, so it shows we can both learn something.
I never claimed you to be wrong and myself to be right. I did claim that the execution of your poll concept left me (and potentially others) in doubt about your intent, and you have finally gotten to the point with a minimum of negativism. I do wish to thank you for moving past your initial reaction, and moving this conversation into the realm of polite discourse.
I will recind my comments about your posts being all negative. You can think and discourse rationally when properly challenged. I'm glad you've taken the time to do so.
Having played this weeked and in the CE beta, the latest series of patches do "fix" the pathing issues from the Preview Weekend, and bring a lot more polish to the interface elements of the game as well as introduce additional content. However, I stand by statement that this was not a "miracle" that fixes a broken product, but an further refinement on an already good product.
I hope this helps.
p.s. I am also a bit confused about how my above referenced poll proves me right or wrong about anything?

All games need patches

The last PW seemed to introduce a lot of problems. Pathing issues, unbalances, performance etc.
From the voting so far, it looks as if they have made major inroads to solving some of them.
I'm undecided. I had absolutely no ctd's last pw. I have had 2 so far in this one. Actually, I just had one, thats why I'm here. Pathing seems improved but still a little buggy.
