    It's quite hilarious to be honest. I find it highly amusing, when I see someone in one post say you can't trust what fan's say on the oboard. However, it's total different when it's a negative. Hypocrisy at it's finest...

    I got aoc a few weeks ago and am loving it so far.  I really think the game gets alot of bad comments due to the fact that many people cant play the game at it's full glory due to system limations.  The graphics are amazing, combat is great,  my guild is wicked  and the quests are fun! 
    I see so many people say "once you hit 50 it goes downhill" , that never happened to me.
    Take alook at some screens I took of the game:

    Awsome! Glad you still enjoy the game. Sadly how easy it was to level was one of the killers for me. After 80 there wasn't much to do. People say raid but Green gear is better than tier 1 raid gear so that is kind of pointless. One of the other killing factors for me was also the declining population. It's still in a decline it sucks but it's true. The bugs and such are another issue I had.

    The new patch gave pvp xp and some other things which is a good start. At this point to me they have about half a game now which is a step in the right direction. The downside to this patch was it added more bugs than it fixed and those it did fix it mainly just switched to those that were not initialy having the problem and fixed it for those that were.

    http://forums.ageofconan.com/forumdisplay.php?f=28 This is the Tech forum for AoC tons of new bugs look for yourself. So count yourself lucky that you are able to enjoy it while many can not.

     

    http://forums.ageofconan.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8 And this site omg if you want to talk about a forums bashing AoC you'll find far more nasty remarks about AoC on this one than you will find on MMORPG forums. There are more that enjoy the game though so you will find more pro replies as well. Since those that still play  AoC are the only ones that can post there most of those that enjoy the game generaly post there instead of here. That is why there are so few pro AoC posts here.

    http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=167545 This ones about lack of new content.

    http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=167593 level 80's just love AoC.

    http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=167569 You know even with FC mods deleting/moving topics and reply's You can easily find more negative talke about AoC on there official forums than you will here so the MMORPG.com community isn't what you need to be mad at. The game in it's current state imo is still bad. It may get better but until then it is still bad.

     

    The people falling through the world this much , this long after launch is funny as heck lol. In Beta it's expected but after launch thats some bad mojo there lol.

     

    And lastly you realise you are already more than halfway done with the game after a couple of weeks? Level 50 in a couple of weeks only 30 levels to go before the lack of population or anything to do hits you. After you have been 80 for a week come back and tell us what you think. If you still like it great... If not then you see what alot of us went through. The games just not worth a monthly fee. F2P and they kept doing the bug fixes then yeah I would still play AoC once in a blue moon like I use to with guild wars. To pay for a game thats unfinished and bug ridden on a monthly basis is just to insulting to me I can't do it.



     

    Man you are a complete rant.. You did not read the posts actually.. just scooping up a bad title... First of all. The AoC forum starts to get to a very positive place now.. Enter it and try and read the posts not just skim it for a promising title.. Another thing.. If you actually opened up the posts you posted you would understand that some of them are not negative at all, even though the title was so promising..

    If you mean the fanbois that post garbage, yet enough of the 'bad' titles are just that: bad news about the game

    And just since you got into spamming the forums with links that nearly has no replies, I might just dig out any thing about WAR, WOW even, or any game out there but it is  totally rediculous.

    There will always be improvements to make,

    Just not so many crucial gamebreaking ones so early on. Stuff that was totally promised on the box stuff that STILL requires ADDING to the game. 

    but I and the rest of the AoC community belive gamebreaking issues are out of the way

    There is still a group of people that believe the earth is FLAT.  This doesnt surprise me even a little bit...

    . In fact way better after patch 2.0 (If you push me I'll spam you with about 10 links on this)... Just to restate what I said in one of the other threads... FC management today announced that there is a surge in server activity as of from last week..

    I wonder what THEY consider a surge, given that some employees are saying that the game is #2 behind wow when its ranked what? 38th again on XFIRE?  

    Also FC has slowly stabilized and increased in value over the last 5 days... I bet this really must really hurt, since you so badly WISH it was different. Keep on WISHING but stay on facts please. AoC has in fact a lot of good stuff going on.. Another performance increase patch this week..

    Keep on wishing indeed! Care to elaborate on the GOOD stuff?



     



     

    Ok I give up... When the guys that played AoC more than 3 months ago know more about the state of the game than the actual gamers... Well, what more is there to say.



     

    My sub runs out in the middle or end of November as I was unable to get any kind of refund from FUNCOM for the 6 month subscription I was dumb enough to buy! When fanbois will say anything to silence the critics and spend more time here than they do playing the game... well what more is there to say?

    What do you call someone that comes here defending what they know in their heart of hearts is still a totally ALPHA verison of the game? I mean FUNCOM just admitted POLISHED AOC not until January, yet you come here and try to convince people its all butterflies and roses in AOC.

    I'm really starting to dislike this website for alll the negative (not towards AOC but in general) views.
     
    Seems some people have nothing better to do with their time than sit on forums a post BS.
     
     



     

    Oh, don't worry, it's not just this website. Luckilly, there are still people that say "Whatever floats your boat". Needless to say, I just said it :).

    On topic. I ran AoC "flawlessly" system-wise, but it didn't do anything for me. Stopped playing, moved on.

    On the other hand, if they already love the so called "alpha", just imagine how much more they will love it when the polish hits? I know I'm very interested in the results (Not that I'lle start playing it again though).

    whatever turns you on but trust me people did NOT quit because of system limitations but rather AOC limitations.

     

    That being said, if you like it great but you wont be able to come here all lollipops and rainbows and not get shot down people who have BTDT

    ROFL have you ever tested an alpha? I've been testing one for a while. Wish I could say what it is :).

    However this is a ridiculous statement. I'd agree it should have been under testing much longer and more thoroughly. However, saying anyone is defending an alpha stage game is simply idiotic and unwarranted.

    No one is ignoring issues here, unless you count hater's who simply can't accept improvements have been made or 'cough.. current subscribers who won't admit it..cough'..

    That's just as bad as stating every thing's peachy, any way you slice it.

    The funny thing is you really think a AoC fan not can post the improvements that came with patch 2.0..It's laughable, I can post anything I like about the game.. I hate this I love that (yepp even butterflies), while you really can not post that much at all cause you have not played it...(That must be frustrating :)). On your spamposting above I only tried to convey to you that the funnyguy with those links did not take the time to read them.. One of the links was having a good badass title, but it was all positive inside, the other one was also promising but again the same thing... Look noone is trying to cover anything up here. I am just saying at least pick out some bad as examples off a bug if your objective is to find... something... There is absolutely no brushover here. AoC forums have a bug/improvement consolidation thread running. I therefore think you fail to make a point against mine, since my point was simply.. There have been vast improvements (nobody said everything is perfect but hell if that's what you are asking for not even WOW will be able to present that... Quest have broken elements here and there, hotkeys get bugged.. etc..). Now again if you really think I am that wrong, when did you test out post patch 2.0, and what did you not like about it..

    True.

    AOC is limiting in the fact that you REQUIRE a decent pc to play, sorry if you can run WOW at max it aint going to transfer here.

    I didn't like that it played like a single player console RPG instead of a MMORPG.

    The combat system was boring and repetitive at high level, I hated the AE attacks for everything, the PvP is just set up dreadfully, the gathering system is the worst I've seen in any game and the instancing drove me nuts.

    Doesn't make AOC a bad game, just not a game that was designed for me. I think it appeals much more to the console crowd than the MMORPG crowd.

    You know I think I have to agree completely with that. That may be due to the intended 360 release they have in the works. Would make sense to launch it 360 ready on PC if they planned on going the console route. There would be a lot less work involved in dumming it down later.  With the way AoC is currently set up it would only take a very few tweaks to get the UI controller friendly. Just do what FFXI did the the left and right triggers.

    Ok I can live with. As far as facts go there are 20 topics (not just posts) Talking about the new bugs that came with the pvp patch. I honestly do hope it gets better the most fun Ive ever had in a class based game particularly playing a healer was in AoC as my Bear Shaman which sadly I took to 80 twice lol. One on PvE server one on PvP server.  I honestly have no hate for AoC , I do have a bit of resentment for FC though and that does come through my posts. My ideal situation would be for another company to take over completely. But again I would like for AoC to become a good game. I am admiting it is making a little head way but not as much as some like to try and convience others it is. My post was in spirit attempting to show facts that not all is rosey while my words along side the links may have held some venom I merely wanted those links along side your everythings fine now links. They come from the same forums and the same community as yours so I think there valid.

     

    As far as my comment about the general forums with the link well that was in reply to someone saying  that they were sick of the negative replies on the MMORPG.com forums.   My point was that AoC official forums have just as many they seem more so here because people posting here aren't censored as much as AoC's forums. A negative thread that gains weight on the official forums tends to be moved fast wether it's a properly worded complaint or not.  As the case with the guild recieving a full tier 3 City ect or the GM caught cybering. While the issue's AoC has may be censored to death in the AoC forums it doesnt seem to be deleted or "Moved" as much.

    If you want to freely post your opinion and information then you have to respect others freedom to do so as well.

    Level 68 Bear Shaman, Quest log full and I have been doing quest the whole time I've played this game.

    I believe the issue of quest content has been fixed, and for a while now. The real problem is that all of these AOC haters have not played the game in months and it amazes me that they still come here to hate, and hate, and hate.

    The game has improved, get over it.
