O it wasnt ingame from start like the box said?
I'm not a no life that sits in front of his computer all day long, I'm an intern that sits in front of his computer all day long.
I clicked on the thread just to check how fast this came. Its getting old. Get over it or get out please.
To the OP: It have been on test server for a while. It does not performe as good as they want so they delayed it. My guess is that it will stay there for a while. Hopefully it will improve performance as it theroticly will.
I am looking forward to it getting to live so those resources can be used elsewere. Hopefully crafting will be the next big thing they rework. (balansing classes should be something they do all the time. Hopefully itempatch will sort most of it out.)
My My the box leads one to believe it will be included in game and now what 10 months later its not working like it should. Makes one wonder what else may not be as advertized. But who am I to say Funcom flat out lied about there game for release and continue to Hype it here or there fan folks.
MAGA
Hah, I guess that's a good sign.

alright well im interesting to see how my new computer will fare against it, thus the reason for me asking
no, not yet
and i prefer they delay it a couple of months more than relesing it with a plethora of bugs and/or cutting our frame rate in half...
i can still survive without volumetric fog for a while
Hah, I guess that's a good sign.
Over 3 years in development and it's still not live is certainly a 'Sign'.
With its current state of graphics, you probably think you are playing in DX10,!!! AoC has the best graphics out of any MMO out there in the market currently, kinda scary really once DX10 comes out, will make other games graphics look 10 years older....that would make Darfall's graphics look 15years older....thats scary..

Yes your right unfinished, it is a sign of an ever changing development in this area. At launch there were how many GPU's capable of doing DX10 to today's amount?
Secondly all things considered it is a good sign from first hand personal experience. When your creating a custom CUDA designed implementation for it, (the game looking still like the first DX10 title created on a custom CUDA engline) which itself is not an old API, shows the decision to go this route in order to deliver a better product is better than what factually could not of been feasible at launch is again a good sign.
We are getting a whole lot more than what could of been. It is right around the corner and will in itself bring many people to come see for themselves. It is of my opinion they will be pleasantly suprised and expectations passed in this area. Time will tell and the best things come to those that wait.
There were several polls run on the official forums about dx10 by doing a search you will see the majority of players would prefer the delay as the graphics are as great as they were and that if given the opportunity to have it delayed to provide a better implementation with brand new technology they would be up for it.
What DX10 card do you run?
They had probably run into some huge issues with the DX10 client.
I heard from some people who have been playing on the test server that performance is really bad compared to DX9 and graphics are actually not that much better. HAven't seen it myself though so I cannot say for sure.
I just wish Funcom would forget DX10 and concentrate on other things in the game. Graphics were good to beginning with, why not improve the things that made all those players quit?

The DX10 thing is going to be a millstone around the neck of Funcom until it is in as a reminder of the things that were broken or missing at launch. Whether the game looks great or not without it is academic and telling people to get over it just fuels the fire.
its been on the test live server. for a good while basically since launch. chop chop people. move it or lose it seriously. im at the point i can careless about dx 10. all it is at this point visual fluff to a good looking game that has no real substance. for the past month or so ive tried to get into it. but gets boring fast, and rerolling a new class is tiresome.i have a lvl 80 conq, lvl 78 necro, lvl 65 guardian, lvl 55 tos, lvl 22 assassin.
not to mention the AOC community have to be one of the most annoying, immature, idiotic bunch ive ever had the displeasure to come across. i frankly dont know what to make of this game at this point. granted its improven, but there is too much competition out there.
im thinking i may just take a step back and not play any mmo's truthfully. im not giving out my money to a unfinished game, irregardless if its improved or not, its been almost a year now ad they still do not have most of the stuff that was promised at launch dx 10 is still a pipedream. i paid $97 after taxes for the Collectors edition. i will never pre-order again.
3.4ghz Phenom II X4 965, 8GB PC12800 DDR3 GSKILL, EVGA 560GTX 2GB OC, 640GB HD SATA II, BFG 1000WATT PSU. MSI NF980-G65 TRI-SLI MOBO.
Well AoC has digital boobs and fatalities. What did you expect?
I bought AoC knowing that I had to deal with all those annoying kids and immature adults. I thought I could deal with it. I couldn't.

I certainly consider myself very fortunate to have bought AoC and only have to wait 9 short months to get a feature advertised on the box.
I am aware that I am beating the deadest of all horses when it comes to AoC and the DX10 on the box issue but whats the point of painting it as a good thing? If it was not factually feasible at launch why was it factually stamped on all 800,000 boxes sold? You make it sound like Funcom were an inch away from curing cancer which is just aggrivating to the 720,000 buyers who figured they'd been taken for a ride and hit 'cancel'.

This is what bothers me most in this whole DX10 scandal:
Funcom KNEW there was NO WAY they can have DX10 ready for launch, yet they printed DX10 on the box.
In my country that is called false advertising and I'm surprised players haven't sued them to get their money back.
If Microsoft did something like this people would go absolutely CRAZY but because it's a small Norwegian MMO developer it's no big deal. I don't get it
And when we get DX10 some time this summer, forums will be flooded with by posts: "OMG Thanks Funcom for giving us DX10, good job!!!".
That's not true, the box art, and printing of the boxes were done well before the removal of DX10 from launch client, do to unforeseen issues in development
.
There was no way they were going to reprint 2 million boxes.

You believe just about anything Funcom says, don't you?
DX10 was never even close to being in the launch client. It was not in beta because it was still on very early stages of development.
You think they decided to drop DX10 a month or two before launch? Please.. It has taken Funcom almost a year after launch and we STILL don't have DX10. Why on earth do you think it was even close to being ready?
AoC was totally unfinished at launch and they put ALL their time and energy to get the client more stable and polish Tortage. The decision to put DX10 on hold was made a long time before launch, probably some time in 2007.
It's funny how some people are gullible..

Or maybe it's because it's not a priority? IMHO, DX10's über fancy lighting fails. The shadows are too hard, resulting in pixelated shadows.
My guess is, they're focusing on new gameplay. As gameplay already is more important that graphics, it's absolutely more important than (the massively over-hyped) dx10.
You know it, the best way to realize your dreams is waking up and start moving, never lose hope and always keep up.

That would be because its true. What ever you want to believe on the funny farm is cool. It also is a petty issue, and doesn't mater one bit to the game play, or success of the game.
But keep crying over spilled spoiled milk, please. I love watching the nerd entitlement.

So now when after you have talked BS and I have corrected you, suddenly the issue is "petty" and "doesn't matter". Talk about defence mechanism lol
.
It's funny how on forums people tend to be experts, talk shit and when you confront them with facts they try to attack you personally with insults like "nerd"
.
Next time do some research before you state your facts, ok?
You corrected nothing, you just keep crying and wont let go of something completely petty. My original post was factual and informational, you just wanted to cry more over top of it.I hear they added the NGE to SWG too, maybe you can hang out with them.
Move along.

I didn't cry. I wrote ONE post in reply to your original post that had false information. That is crying?
Your inner forum nerd ego just got a kick in the ass so you got angry and started this drama
Take your own tip and move along.

With the way the graphics look now....why is the lack of Dx10 such an issue with you whiners? It's not like you would be spreading praises for Funcom if it were available at launch. . Sure..DX10 is going to look even better...something to look forward too.How many other mmo's even utilize..or promise to utilize DX10?...let's see...LotrO...um...soon AoC...help me out here. If the box had promised to skull-rape you with a rusty candelabra..then backed out...you'd be screaming bloody murder , wouldn't you?..you can say "Yes" ..it's o.k. We're sorry Funcom lured you away from your mom's teet with promises of candy-coated mmo joy. You can go back now...back to suckle from the only person that never lied to you. There there.
