I've been playing a demonologist on the Fury EU PvP server for the past couple of days, and just got out of Tortage, and I'd like to quash a few myths put out by those who don't seem to have actually played the game.
Instancing during Tortage is heavy, but once you get out into the real world - It works more on a Everquest 2 basis, I.E when the zone reaches maximum capacity (which I can assure you isn't 48 from what I counted) it creates a copy of the zone.
Ganking does exist in the Tortage area. Afterward you're much less likely to experience it. And IN the Tortage area, you can- believe it or not, SWITCH INSTANCES. The amount of times I encountered crying on OOC chat was ridiculous, seeing as the answer to your problem was on the orange button. It's a PvP server, you have a WAY OUT for once, use it.
There are bugs, but don't believe the hype, there aren't a sea of bugs. I only encountered one bugged mob spawn and I got stuck behind a tree, which I promptly solved by switching instances.
Combat IS deep, if you're willing to use it. You wouldn't believe some of the fights I've won against many odds by just using dodging, blocking and some strafing. Too many people with the "stand in one place and mash your combat arts" mentality. Spellcasters are still spellcasters, and I don't think it would make much sense to have them any other way otherwise it would create an imbalance.
That's all I've really got to say. I don't know why so many people think they can form entire opinions on what has largely been on these forums, misguided hate. Play the game for yourself if you REALLY want an opinion on it. I'm just standing here with my Sword of Hypeslaying trying to combat the masses.

it has been said already that there is no content after lvl 50. Let alone no end-game.
and you just got out of tortage and are telling everybody that there is no reason for criticism?
ok, lets say im lvl 55. What fun activity should I do in AoC? The only 1 that comes to my mind is ganking lowbies like you in some town.
Ahh my 1000th post..
anyways..
Why are you worried about level 50 anyways bigplanet?
Worry about level 50 once you get there. If you enjoy your journey to 50, then the game was well worth it.
There are people that are level 80...so obviously there is content past level 50.
But then again the game has been out for 9 days....if people want to rush to the end game and skip all the good stuff in between when the game is still so young they need to understand they may have to wait for content, while the team works out more important things like game bugs.
You can access the world map from Tortage, and all of the large "instanced" dungons are clearly marked on that map with the recommended player level. There are several end game dungons that are for level 50+, in fact, there is one that is ONLY for level 80 players.

So much misinformation here.
First of all, there is a huge lack of quests after lvl 50. You will have to grind.
lvl 55+ dungeons are not even itemized.
There are lvl 80s because of aoe grinding.
YOU haven't played the game. YOU are the one trolling and misinforming people.
I will keep it plain and simple..
I really think you need to find yourself a game to play.. Your wasting way too much personal time on a game you dislike.
If you dont like, you move on bigplanet, especially being the age bracket your in. Its easy to find something out there you may like.

How come you don't tell OP to go play AoC and not post about it?I'm reviewing the game too. And I'm telling it how it is, without bias.
At least I invested more than 7 hours playing it before writing.
Now you on the other hand have been raving how much the game sucks for quite some time now. I think we all know where you stand on the AoC game bigplanet and I am still trying to figure out what are you trying to accomplish..
Thats why I simply stated, you should find a game or hobby you like, instead of wasting precious time beating down AoC. I am sorry the game was'nt what you were expecting and you are tired with your current game prior to AoC, but I get the point, you dont have to keep posting the same post over and over on why you hate it., we understand you.
well the OP is right on with what the normal experience is. There are some bugs but far and few between, and most of the time there is an easy way to solve the bug unless it is a quest bug.
I am currently a lvl 37 Bear Shaman and love it. there is a lot of different play styles and it really comes out when you start to figure out the feats. if you want to spam blood flow you can spec towards that, if you want to become a healer or become a defensive person you can do all of that. There is also a lot of mixing n matching. I realized that renew is a great skill so i dumped into that and with the 50% increase in damage with the activation you can pull some mad damage with the last combo move. i also have 4 other alts and enjoy them but not as much as my BS.
well hope to see you in game -peace

Is WoW the only game you've played? Back before WoW peed in the MMO pool, quests were a supplement to leveling, not fast-track through it. If you want a game on easy mode, stick with WoW. Otherwise, stop complaining about post-50 quests. Believe it or not I'm happy there's a grind. Maybe it'll weed out all the people that end up in your raid/group that have little idea how to group because they quested their way through the game.
What you describe, bigplanet, reminds me of DAoC, one of my favorite games (and, in my opinion, one of the best games made to date). So, sign me up.

You could try and actualy play MMORPG instead of treating it like your common online shooter, cause honostly if you feel that the only thing that comes to YOUR mind is ganking lowbies, kinda shows what type of player you are and sorry to say for me personaly it shows you just lack experiance in this genre unable to entertain yourself other then take the easy road and thats ganking lowbies.
Critizism is fine aslong we see that people actualy play the game in the way it can be played, these rushers are NOT playing this genre the way they could in my opinion (who to say i am right? , just sharing my opinion)
Also the amount of MMORPG you played does not mean a thing, it's about HOW you have played reardless how many. It's funny that people actualy think that having played many MMO's makes them a experiance'd player, if you where you would not have come to this forums if you disliked the game, or you simply would have made some constructive critizism instead of the same old same old with no substance.
Again who to say i am right as i am only stating my personal opinion.
BIgPlanet, ever heard of working for something? If you have, then you would know that working for something is much more satisfying then it just being easily given to you. If not, then get out of your grandma's basement and get a job. Anyways, my point is....if you just quest all the way to level 80 then it's easy. You have NO satisfaction of your character. No hard work and time was put into the character. When your level 70 is WoW it's not that great, but when you get to 80 in AoC it feels like you accomplished atleast something. That's why some people like grindind. Don't get me wrong, i hate grinding to much. If thats all the game is then yes...thats just an escuse for a game. Though this is not the case. Age of conan has a lot to offer, and just because you can't suck it up and grind for a little bit doesn't mean it's a crappy game.
lol i asked for fun activity in AoC, and you guys tell me that grind is not a bad idea. Hmmm
For being 28, your pretty stupid. You do not see what we are saying, and your totally looking past everything I wrote. If you don't get it then leave, and go play something else. We don't really want to hear your critizism anymore. We obviously know your side already, and it's getting pretty old. Just leave, and go play a game where you do not have to do anything to get great, and then kill lower level players to make yourself feel good. If thats what AoC did, then i'm sure you'd love it.
