I'm missing the point? Aventurine doesn't even have a god damn track record how can they have any credibility once so ever? At least Funcom made AO one of the best sci-fi themed MMOs.
Like AoC, AO had one of the worst launches in history and was barely playable for MONTHS. Thats why its a free game now, because it epic failed.

That is lying, plain and simple.
The fact that you would even attempt to argue it is absurd.
Im not saying its right that its on the box but they didnt lie about it. They stated it would not be in at launch so if you went into a store and bought it and saw Enhanced for DX10 in the tiny green letters on the back of the box it doesnt make them liers it just means you should have done more research on the game especially since its an mmo and mmo features are always changing.
That's probably the dumbest thing I ever heard. Shoudn't the BOXED GAME represent the final product?
DX10 is not the only feature Funcom lied about. The list stands at, no spell weaving, no drunken brawling, no city building, no massive 100 man sieges, no sieges at all, broken crafting, a magic stealth button they promised wouldn't be in the game, no content past level 20 tutorial zone, instanced zones capped at 50 players, no 8 directional combat, no aiming your bow, I can go on... and when you reported a bug to them, they'd say "there are no bugs" and ban you.
Signus common sense is not tolerated here.
Lol at anyone trying to convince people that it is anyone but funcom's fault that the box lies about the final product. You people are part of the problem in the industry....you hold mmos to a lower standard than other media outlets, especially video game consoles...
FACT: Not having the features you claim to have on the box is LIEING....it is NOT up to the consumer to check online to see if the company is lieing. The consumer should be able to browse a store and see whats on the box. MMOs have been pulling this for awhile and it is not right. Not everyone has time to be a forum troll....err....spend time online finding out about if the game is actually what it says it is suppose to be.
Hold MMOs to the same standard as console games and other media outlets or you are the scum on the community. If i was looking at titles in my gamestop and came across a game I never heard of, and the game on the box said it had an in depth crafting system...and then i get home and pop it in the xbox and there is no crafing system at all....that is the fault of the producer..not my fault for not going home nad looking online.

Ok well I assume that if you went to buy a blue ray disk player and you took it home and it only played normal dvd's and when you complained they said "it says it doesn't have blue ray capability on the website, hahaha you only read the box??" you would be perfectly ok with that?
They were sat at their desks at Funcom HQ knowing people were buying their product which had a misleading discription and thats not lying?
I'm not responding anymore as thats just crap.
LOL ,that is NOT the same analogy.You are talking about a product that does NOT play the discs you bought it for.DX10 is merely a physics/graphical enhancement to games.For MANY players they would not even notice the difference between playing a DX10 game and a DX7 game.
Packaging for games is made usually quite some time before actually releasing there product so changes will be fact.However i do agree that stating a DX10 game on the package is most certain a lie.There is a fine line however.I am sure they could have easily released one DX10 feature like one certain shader just to say they were not lying,so it would have been tough to use any lawsuits on them.I guess at best you could ask for your money back,however our nice,excuse me lame ass governments made the laws to protect the seller and nothing to protect the buyer of software materials.IThey probably had something written on there box that stated changes or features may not be present.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I didn't claim they have broken any promises, you might want to re-read what I put. When release day comes there will be no where for DF to hide when the player is the judge. Promoting the game has "everything" and all the arrogance around DF's devs comments are setting them up for a big backfire. Grandious broad sweeping statements assumptions and prayers are least of worries here. Like I said they are just going to have it released and let us be the judge, I've be in the queue a long time now with expectations and I summed up my opinion which is not bad with a couple of lines on current thoughts and an accurate picture - but c'mon you can say the picture is a troll or no accurate - there is nothing bad about it. Just because I like AoC doesn't mean to say I don't have an interest in DF, I do, a long time one. Long time member of their official community and follower of news, it's good things are stepping up now and I am excited for release - my gripe is with the promising everything part, I'm sure you can understand that and reply on equal footing - about DF..
Avery, you are in no position to judge Aventurine because they offer "too good to be true" features.
You are the one who defended AoC, even when Funcom broken every promised they made, delivering a game full of bugs and half made.
Because Funcom couldn't deliver their promises, that doesn't mean that Aventurine can't (of course chances are that they won't be able to deliver everything)
But whether Aventurine will deliver or not, you are the last person who should patronise people about the supposed failure of a developer to deliver their promises.
Of course you are free to criticise a game, but not on that subject, since nobody really knows what's in the game, and your history of defending a game who delivered so few of its promises.

I except that it is much more extreme but it is essentially the same. Both have a feature written on the box which the product does not facilitate, the fact that in one case it's the primary feature is irrelevant. Both do not do what is written on the packaging.
Either it is acceptable to list non existent features on packaging or it isn't, there is no grey area in this.
Point is the box is misleading, it doesn't matter in the least when or what forum or site they said it wouldn't be in on launch its no less misleading to anyone who buys the game based on what the box says instead of saying " well i better go check online to make sure the box isn't a lie", it doesn't matter if its an mmorpg or not.

This is the correct answer. Sorry im all for opinions, but anyone who does not agree with the above is wrong. It is not up for discussion.

Keep dreaming buddy. I followed AoC closer than I would have liked. Sieges weren't even in the game at launch because city building was broken. I love your WTF comments on anything that you have no quippy answer to. Announcing features being cut a month before launch, aka, during the open beta process, is weak, real weak.

Ive played since launch and yes siege were in from launch they were buggy at start but they were still there. My wtf comments were put there because what you said just didnt even make sense not because I had nothing else to say, those comments were just lies and did not deserve a response.

Yep not point arguing...it is well known fact that AoC was one of the biggest flops in MMO history. In has been bleeding subs for a reason since launch...it lied to the community and people got fed up with it.
Add that to its terrible customer service and horrible moderation in game (lol i remember all those screenshots of their GMs) and you get a mutually agreed upon FAILURE.
Thank god i was smart enough to see through their nonsense prelaunch...i dont see how anyone couldnt have seen it comming, but then again I can appreciate people really wanting a new mmo to come out well to get away from WoW or simply a new mmo to play that was pvp oriented.
Big difference between AoC and DF....DF isnt hyping up CEs and preorders to gain a quick buck like AoC did fully knowing their game is garbage on launch.

Keep dreaming buddy. I followed AoC closer than I would have liked. Sieges weren't even in the game at launch because city building was broken. I love your WTF comments on anything that you have no quippy answer to. Announcing features being cut a month before launch, aka, during the open beta process, is weak, real weak.
Yep not point arguing...it is well known fact that AoC was one of the biggest flops in MMO history. In has been bleeding subs for a reason since launch...it lied to the community and people got fed up with it.
Add that to its terrible customer service and horrible moderation in game (lol i remember all those screenshots of their GMs) and you get a mutually agreed upon FAILURE.
Thank god i was smart enough to see through their nonsense prelaunch...i dont see how anyone couldnt have seen it comming, but then again I can appreciate people really wanting a new mmo to come out well to get away from WoW or simply a new mmo to play that was pvp oriented.
Big difference between AoC and DF....DF isnt hyping up CEs and preorders to gain a quick buck like AoC did fully knowing their game is garbage on launch.

How about anyone who wants to talk about AOC go to the AOC forums this is the Darkfall forums so how about staying somewhat on topic...
This game reminds me of a game called Dawn. It had much of the same concepts. Unfortunately its been in development since 2001. lol
