Tell Me All the Bad Stuff

so i just renewed my WoW account a week ago and im already bored to tears. not only do i feel like i wasted the $20, but i felt a little vomit come up. im playing Global Agenda and i got spoiled by the FPS-like involvement in combat. i love the combat system in AoC. im really enjoying the trial with my bear shammy. graphics are beautiful, and the game feels very immersive. even though i expected clunkiness, i find the animations to be very smooth.
so can someone share all the bad stuff before i commit to buying? im currently impressed, but it must be too good to be true. i heard: game awful at release, now great, plus amazing xpac coming up. which is why i decided to try it. what's the catch? pvp imbalances? crappy end-game? too much grind?
Comments
Is there a free trial?
youre asking or adding onto what i said in last paragraph? yes, there's a free trial, limitless up to lvl 20 i think.
That is mostely spin, AoC didn't spend much time on the game after released, instead they focused on the expansion, if you liked the game back then you like it now and if you didn't it hasn't changed, it is just most of the few people left have always liked the game, try to find out what has changed to make this the new second comming and you won't get a specific answer because so little was added when AoC had so little to begin with and much that was has major issues. There have been two real patches total in the last year, most MMOs patch stuff at least quarterly and most released in better condition. Plus, even though there is this spin many players feel as if the patch 1.05 was bad and took skill away from the game made combat slow and more gear based, etc. AoC did a huge marketing campaign after patch 1.05 about a year ago 1.05, patch before last, and a lot of people did the free trial or got free time to play their old accounts and the total population seemed to drop after so if the game was now great most people must have missed that part, even many of the people who have played a long time waiting for some awesome changes.
The expansion could be awefull, AoC was supposed to be amazing at launch, Funcom is good at marketing a lot of the stuff they marketed at release doesn't work properly or is missing from the game to this day.
The Catch is it is an MMO lite, there is very little content compared to any other MMO, it doesn't have all the solo areas, group instances, and raid zones like WoW. Leveling wise there is just enough content to hit level cap and any alts you are repeating the exact same zones and quests, it is linear compared to other MMOs. Population is down so even though there are 4-5 instances worth doing on the way to 80, forming a group is a much harder task than killing anything inside. Level wise, remember the free trial is in tortage, the game becomes much more generic after that custom made starter zone. Tortage was designed to create buzz, get high reviews, and entice free trial players to buy, Funcom probably worked on Tortage more than they worked on level 30-80+ in the current game.
There are silly PvP inbalances, if you are on a PvP server you will see a lot of PvP on Tortage, afterwards it isn't so common. Few PvP mini games and sieges, nothing you can just grind out whenever like WoW arena's or battlegrounds. However, most the PvP lovers left since Sieges were not working and crashed for a year but they work now aside from lag on all but a few servers, Funcom put guards everywhere to stop world PvP and there are no worthwhile rewards for PvP. Funcom's handeling of PvP so far has been sad as it was marketed as an "AMAZING" PvP game before release and well read this by a two year player who likes PvP http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=213650.
There isn't much at end game there is a 6 man, and there are like 3 tiers of raiding but all three tiers combined don't amount to the content of most MMO raid instances. Yeah there are grinds but not realy worth it, most people that play just make a new character and do the exact same solo grind 1-80 again, but then again most people left. Funcom wasn't so worried about end game, the expansion may change things but it better have many group and raid instances on day 1 and they would need to continue development in racking out content faster than 1 small raid instance per year and 1 new group instance per 2 years as has been the development speed so far.
Funcom has reviewed all of its assets relevant for
impairment testing. This process has led to
recognition of an impairment loss of around
3,1 MUSD for Age of Conan due to a decrease in
numbers of subscribers for the game. Funcom Q4 10 report.

The MAJOR problem at the moment is siege crashes and red latency spikes ( at least on most populated server Fury EU, other servers work pretty good )
As for the raid instances I dont agree with finaticd, you have plenty of PvE raid content that will satisfy all your needs.
Game is definitely worth trying and get your self 60 day card on ebay for around 13-14€.
Futilez[Do You Have What It Takes ?]
too bad, graphics and atmosphere are so amazing in this game! in terms of visuals, i dont think i can ever go back to WoW after seeing AoC's graphics, or i might actually full-out throw up.
im a big pvp'er, and tbh couldnt care less about lack of raids. there are dozens in WoW and I couldnt care less. i just do bg's and 5-mans. but this dumbing down of pvp really has me disappointed, especially since it used to be so much more fun from what everyone is saying. if a game's pvp moves in WoW's direction....big minus right there. i will still level up to 20, and hopefully more responses will come. thanks.
Overall, pretty good. Amazing graphics, decent combat, although not as deep as most games. It does not shy away from gritty and realistic aspects of a harsh and punishing world. It is true to the lore, and it feels authentic in that respect.
Now for your bad:
If you melee, you will get blood splatter on the screen. You might not mind it, but to me, it is ridiculous. It tries to be a theme park, but the quests are largely disjointed and so the theme park experience is not organic. On the other side of that coin, the world is a series of communal instances that you travel between using NPCs and world objects. Loading screens run rampant, and so the world loses a great deal of its appeal, and any chance it had of being a sandbox. While the graphics are amazing on one level, most of the models (other than the humans) feel flimsy and poorly designed.
There is a fair bit good about this game, but there is a lot to dislike as well. Of course, this is all simply my opinion and you should try the game and make a decision based on your own experiences.
"Gamers will no longer buy the argument that every MMO requires a subscription fee to offset server and bandwidth costs. It's not true you know it, and they know it." Jeff Strain, co-founder of ArenaNet, 2007
WTF? No subscription fee?
Alright, enough is enough finaticd, every single time you misinform people, you clearly have no clue about AOC or whats happend since launch. 1 6 man dungeon added ? Yeah lets try again: Crows Nest, Iron Tower, Xibalaku, Amphitheatre of Karutonia, Cradle of Decay. Slaugtherhouse was also added which can be done solo, or with a group.
Tier 2: Black Ring Citadel has 9 bosses, which is standard size, like other MMO's, once again misinformation galore.
Tier 3: Has not been cleared even tho its been out for months and months, has 7 bosses, very hard raid at the moment, 7 is so so, its not small thats for sure.
Onto the next thing, forming a group is hard, you seriously are clueless, theres like 10 groups all the time looking for people, all classes are useful in AOC, so its not hard getting a group at all.
Now it becomes really fun, few pvp minigames and sieges ? What world are you living in ? Minigames are instant at primetime, at daytime its about 5 minutes wait, sieges happend reguarly, while there are still crashes, they do happend.
No worthwhile rewards? Theres plenty of worthwhile rewards if pvp is what you like, the pvp gear have special stats for pvp, increased pvp damage, and decreased damage taken, 1.07 which is out today adds another layer to this, and another 4 pvp levels + shrines pvp zone.
Its getting really tiresome to watch your little Funcom vendetta on these forums, atleast try and update yourself properly with the games changes.
Well you asked for the bad stuff and you got it in the above post.
Want to hear more bad stuff about AoC? Check the post history of the above poster and you will read all the bad stuff about AoC and then some! His comments are also so outdated they are almost criminal.
AoC is more or less the same with WoW and other fantasy based games with its own flavour (and imho the best graphics and and armour in any MMO. And with no auto attack making each mob a bit more interesting to kill) , it was in bad shape when it released and now is much much better, (MMORPGs most improved game). It alos has a different take on a lot of the classes as you have no doubt seen with the bear shaman.
As suggested above try the trial, that is what it is there for, if you like it then go with the full game. There is of course not the content of WoW, although there is awesome expansion coming out soon, with no level cap (this will increase end game content by ten fold). It also includes 5 new vast play areas, 10 different NPC factions, a Talents re-vamp, Eve style "train over time" skills, Guild Wars style "load skills" style of play, new take on pet mounts. This expansion will propel AoC to a game that can compete against others in the genre on an equal footing.
AoC is attracting more and more players back and is growing in numbers, this is evident (not by any stats) by logging on to the servers and seeing all the new guys running around, ie first hand experience.
Criag Morrision the new game director is doing an excellent job in making the game an outstanding MMO!
http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/272582/FURY-EU-in-meltdown.html
There is a link to another thread, looks like they still cant fix some major problems after almost two years
Yes yes it is me your favorite anti AoC/Funcom poster here, but hey he asked for it.
Aside from the few fanatical posters who defend this game to their dying breath because they probably subbed for a full year and are begging people to play it with them or they are hired posters by funcom to do damage/quality control, here's the real deal.
The game is very very very very linear. Yes the zones are beautifully rendered, but to me it felt like I was walking down a one way corridor compared to most other games. Everything seemed so instanced, and lacked a complete sense of freedom and exploration.
People still complaining about red latency spikes? Guess what they have been complaining about that since beta, and its been hundreds of thousands of people, its not your PC, its the game. It runs like crap. No my PC doesnt suck thanks.
Very little end game content, all of which was very easily exploited by many people before it was even 'opened to the public' as certain wings where closed off , but the walls could be walked through and all bosses soloed. Even had it worked properly the end game mechanics do not hold a candle to real pve games.
Funcom will consistantly tease you with 'upcoming features' that sounds great, but they either never come, or are implemented in a half ass fashion and are usually so buggy they break more than they fix.
Numerous billing errors used to occur, an extra month here or there after you canceled, mabey it got fixed, but they burned alot of people.
Sooo many original content features still have never made it into game, and so many of what they promise I doubt will ever come either. Good luck on seeing your pvp towers anytime this year, mabey christmas if your lucky, even then they will be broken , buggy, or exploited for at leaste a month, you cannot deny this due to the companies track record.
When the game was first released you used to be able to mouse over certain abilities and it would say something like 'Nano blah blah ' or some other stat place holder that was from Anarchy Online. Really poor programming job as they didnt erase all of the text from Anarchy online and some of it carried over, so some of my stats used to read as some space age sci-fi crap.
Tortage is the bait, the rest of the game fails, is boring, dead and uninspired. Yes the graphics are great, and if thats all that matters to you, then knock yourself out. So many games offer so much more depth and creativity, unless you want to level alts in the same way/manner/fashion , you will find end game in Age of Conan is trolling the forums.
There is a reason 700,000 people quit the game and did not come back.
Wait until you see how empty the game really is after Tortage. New people? you mean new alts running around , or a bunch of unsubbed people.
There is a reason their own forums are dead, and full of negativity if the posts dont get deleted.
There are a few people who do nothing but flame people who speak bad about this game, they are either like I said Funcom employees somehow or paid by the company to give the company a better image, or again like I said a few people who think the graphics really are all that matter, paid for a year sub and are mad they dont really have a bunch of people to play with ( well mabey they do now as havnt you all been funneled into 1 server by now )
This company is full of lies , false promises, and undelivered material.
I was part of beta. I did play the game for nearly a year. I was in the guild that created the first guild city, took place in the first battlekeep sieges, I was on tyranny, I did go out and try and PVP every day.
Yes my posting history is mainly that of a negative slant toward this game, but its when people like you ask questions and I feel I should tell you from long personal experience dont buy into the marketing and tortage. If I bought a car and the dealer/manufacturer said it went 120mph and when I went to drive it it only went 80mph, I'd tell every single person that asked about the car how it was a lemon and not what it was promised to be.
Its not a PVP game, its not really a PVE game, its just a game. This you cannot deny, as there are easily 5-10 games on the market that outclass this game easily in each catagory alone. Every feature they have added to this game has been exploited both pvp and pve wise, so have fun sitting around a campfire role playing yearing for those golden days that are just on the horizon because the new game developer promised so!

Welcome to 2 years ago.
Your information is more or less wishful thinking but I'm pretty current as 1.06 and 1.07 didn't change the core game much, what arenas that I said no one would use and everyone was like they will be popular and I was right do to no reward or guild renown system that boosts crafting and a crafting system that is one of the worst in MMOs? AoC is just slow to develop so no my information is not out dated. I was told it was out dated and the game was much improved for almost 8 months prior to patch 1.05 and then told 1.05 was awesome..and I went back and they must have been hiding the improvements because it was still the same core game with little to do and very short post 80 progression and PvP stuff got worse, broken sieges that no one mentioned, guards all over to discourage PvP, empty servers and back then my server Tyranny was one of the the most populated server. So yeah I am quite sceptical that 1.06 or 1.07 revamped much as I read what is in them ;p
End game, yeah 1 group instance that was added that people do until they get blue gear or to gear alts, the other instances are meh and not done. There was a group instance and zone added around level 60 ish, i heard most people don't do the zone much but the instance is good if you can find people.
T2 was added about a year and a half ago and there was already three bosses at release and finaly T3 recently. But it isn't much COMPARED to raiding games...I have already compared AoC bosses vs. other game bosses two years out. The other games have hard core raid guilds and I believe enough content to raid 40+ hours a week farming and doing new stuff is a core component that AoC lacks.
---------------
T2 is small compared to most instances I have done in Everquest or Warcraft by a good margin it is 3 hours with a PuG.
I wonder why it hasn't been cleared, lack of people who are any good at raiding because they left after waiting over a year or is it bugged? If AoC had hard core guilds anymore, the top 20 guilds to clear T1 are gone...it would probably have been cleared the first day if not bugged BUT T1 and T2 where both buggy before revamps so.
Yeah the lack of class diversity and roles was a peeve of mine, they should revamp them like most other games did to make more specific rolls than DPS + Healer but I imagine a lot of groups are looking for people as population would make it harder to fill groups....mid level instances in a game with low population and 80 levels, think about it. Many reports of people not able to build a group of people for any but high level instances.
Mini games still depend on your server, ask Tyranny, and people only do 1 of the 4 maps but if they are poping often it is usualy the same people over and over but there are only 8 servers world wide so maybe there are enough people now for PuG vs. pre made fun. AoC minis are realy not very popular though, they were never changed so the info is current. Sieges? yeah not to often, probably once a week if your active and many people never do them and server dependant, ask Fury.
PvP gear is a joke, it has not been revamped since the 5th month out and is sub par on all levels, is no point to argue that as any PvE gear is better after T1, which is sad as it takes much longer to get PvP gear.

Yeah im the one doing wishful thinking, I am playing the game daily, what I said is how I every single day experience the game.
And all of the added dungeons are being done daily, we have several guild groups to all of them every day.
Anyways im starting to realise you're a lost cause, so keep hating, I will be ingame enjoying Hyboria.
Yeah the game is very close to two years ago, but that is do to:
1) The game wasn't good at release so most players left so after losing 40 million on AoC, development was at a minimum.
2) Most of the development has been placed on the expansion as Funcom probably believes releasing an expansion will bring more players back than fixing the core game.
THe AoC has improoved is pretty silly, just read my sig and the article......90% of what has improved is about marketing campaigns and 8 % is that future stuff may fix the game and the 2% that should count is they added an instance but AoC was so devoid of instances and grouping areas that AOC should have added many more and probably gave away the expansion free, which they tried to do with a 1 year sub purchase, just to make AOC even to other MMOs in terms of content.
------------------------
I don't hate or love AOC, I'm just trying to keep it real.

List all the level 80 "GROUP" stuff that has been added that people do or even level 80 grind quest or anything aside from the other solo level 80 instance that people do once or the other instance with no bosses or rewards.
PvP gear is a joke according to people who enjoy PvP, I have posted many quotes here is one: from Mummifys who PvPs way way way more than you do. " I mean, what good is pvp 5 which takes 5x longer to get and more hardwork then a repetitive PVE dungeon that can give you gear that is 2x better in item stats." http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=213650

Tbh I think he's so distorted by now that he's starting to believe himself ;p
No but unless you have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollyanna_principle in regards to AoC it is hard to ignore the many players who point out AoC has a very very weak end game and the options are log on a few hours a week and raid or reroll or quit. It is hard to ignore when probably the most active PvPer in USA says PvE gear is half as good as PvE gear and many others have mentioned the same since it was released over a year ago or that I played in 1.05 and saw how lite end game was and aside from T3 no new group instances where added.
WoW a single new raid zone every year and most likely T3 was cut off from the expansion and given to original so if I were a player I would want to know if there will be new raids in the expansion or I'm waiting another year.

And once again your misinformed, T3 was always meant for a content patch, what was put on hold was House of Crom, T4 will be in the expansion, its already been announced by Craig.
I don't apreciate being called a liar, I asked you both many times to point where I was wrong and you did or could not. If I am mistaken it would be easy, but no, my information is not two years old.
1.05 was less than a year ago and 1.06 just came out 4 months ago....the game crashed and burned population wise during this time for lack of stuff to do and many of my points, so no "information isn't current" or "the game has improved" are both evasive and generic responses, much of what has been added is buggy or not well thought out like 1.05 the patch that added and changed the most so far.

That would be the first time so far in this thread. But I think I corrected you in the first paragraph.
If only T4 is released without T 5 expect a long wait till T 5 as the staff will likely get cut after expansion. The population needs to go up by many many times, literaly to keep the development worth it buisness wise.
But if AoC is so good why didn't it grow over the last year after many came back to see how good it was?

Why are you guys attacking finaticd ?
He does not like AoC he have some valid points and people that ask questions about AoC should always know truth is somewhere in the middle ... between hate & fanbois posts.
There is a free trial, everyone can check it out ( imo they should allow people to move out of boring tortage to at least level 20 to 30 zones ) and thats it.
Futilez[Do You Have What It Takes ?]
I wasnt the one calling you a liar tho, I called you misinformed
I am not gonna list those things, ive already responded to the posts stating the instances added, I play the game daily, ive responded about the raids.
I am under no delusion about AOC, I know its not got the subs it was aiming for, I know that they could do better in many places, but I also defend it from information that is not based on the truth.
I enjoy the game, my guild has never been as active as it is right now, we went from having around 15 ppl online at night, to having over 50 people online at primtime and around 30 at daytime.
The server is crammed with raid groups doing T1, T2, and alot of guilds are competing for T3.
Theres runs for pretty much all 6 man dungeons all the time, I can find a group within minutes right now.
PvP has issues still, Fury especially struggles with the Sieges, but the pvp xp system works, the gear is so so, but does have stats unique for pvp, which does make it a bit better than pve gear, unless your able to get your fingers on the T3 stuff.
Could Funcom have done better on their patches ? Surely. But it is kind of easy to figure they have less devs than other titles which currently maybe has 10x the population, Craig is very straightforward with the community, he often responds to any and all questions, sometimes theres stuff he cant say yet, as soon as he can he will tho.
There was alot of lies at the start, the old Lead Dev was very mystical in many ways, he wasnt really truthful about much, Craig has turned this around.
Now at the end of the day, people can play what they want, hate what they want, like what they want, but lets atleast try to keep the info based on how things are today.
Simply because he said there was one six-men instance added during the last two years which is a lie. I didn't even bother to read his whole post, if someone moan and bitch and uses lie to be convincing.
Really, who's a fanboy in this thread? Was I lying about something that Conan wouldnt have? I pointed out that finaticd lied in the past, and continues to lie about the amount of dungeons added in the recent two years. It's simple as that. Noone should take that guy seriously and I believe noone does.
I agree, people should try trial by themselves and check the patch notes what is being added and how frequent are the updates instead of reading this crap. Sure, it requires a bit more effort -> but they find out much more precisely whether the game is right for them or not.
REALITY CHECK
Because he does not have valid points. He thinks of himself as a hero bringing the truth to the people. He became so obsessed with his job that even when the game is obviously improving he tries to depict it as worst game ever. He had some valid points but all points vanished in thin air and now not only he is twisting the truth as we are used to from him ... he is straight out LYING. Sieges are fixed, T3 content is not even completed, new 6 man are being played 24/7 (HM- IT and Xiba and every lowbie goes to grab the epic cloak from Amphiteare - because it is probly better than dragon cloak)
(I hope AoC adds 20 bosses in T4 just to shut him up ... comparing the game to WoW is madness) -he is just that hero that no one needs anymore.
And he is not alone ... jackdog started to behave just like he does when he had nothing to bash in game.
(And btw finaticd - there are very few pugs that can even complete T2 and there is no pug that can do it in 3 hours UNLESS pug means experienced people on vent who just happen to be from different guilds. Than sure ... pug can almost do it in 3 hours.)
He is at least bringing partial truth if people here saw only positive posts then you know somethign is really really wrong with the game and Iam not talking about AoC only .. all games have certain flaws etc...
Btw Sieges are NOT fixed, yesterday we had 5th of our siege crashed in a row on Fury EU. ( and so did other sieges )
Current crash rate on Fury is around 80% so there is less then 20% that siege wont crash if both side bring 48 players.
Beside massive lag and rubberbanding and crashes there is huge bug and players that dont participate in siege are not getting ported out.
Our recent siege looked like: us (Futilez) with 48 members against Nastradir (defenders) and all of us vs RusCorp with 30+ players, Ragnorok with around 20, AD with around 18. Siege was already in progress for more then 10 minutes ( and i mean when we already had siege weapons out .. not during battle cool down) before they got ported out and beside porting them out we lost 5 of our members that were also ported out. ( 10 mins after that siege crashed )
So siege is far from fixed even devs on IRC are saying that they will need to do complete revamp as mechanics is flawed.
I cant really comment on 6 man dungeons I dont do them, dont do that many of pve raids either but they are nicely done and should keep everyone busy enough. As for mini games on Fury there is like 5 to 10 seconds wait time ( during prime time)
Some servers are pretty packed now ( no wonder as merges happend less then a month ago ) and population is good.
AoC is getting really good updates but the fact is some things are flawed for 2 years now and that should not be acceptable by todays standards .. except if some indy company is making a game.
If they manage to fix lag/siege issues and add even more PvP content ( there will be more then enough PvE one with upcoming expansion) we will see more people coming back, even finaticd may deceide to give it a chance.

Not FUNCOM that is for sure, as the few people he desauades from playing the game by way of lies and outdated information will not impact on funcoms overall profits. Dam, left to his predictions AoC would have folded by now but instead they are releaseing an expansion and have a really good game that is attracting new and old players alike. Does he know when to quit, he has lost already.
He is harming his fellow MMORPG members by spouting lies and outdated information and cauising them to miss out on the game experience due to his own problems and hang ups about the game. .
Serioulsy is this the type of poster we want to see on these boards. I do not mind people who give negative comments about the game, but please be current and not rely what is in wiki or other second hand info.
This obessive and consistent bashing of a game is not rational, if you dont like the game then why on earth do you frequent these particualr boards, i simply cannot understand.
