AOC its a great game but needs time to resolve the bugs and lack of content .
Many players compare AOC to games that have 1year+ old...
Quest suck, same old same old.
Gear Grinds? Yes there are gear grinds. How else do you get better at PvP in AoC when everyone in your class has the same skills?
I will give you the combat system, it was fun.
FFA PVP which sucks because you can instance hope and spawn camp and gank lower levels.
Easy leveling. will give you that one as well but I dont see that as a good thing... Easy anything is bad... I dont play a game to not be challaged. I play a game to be challaged.
If i wanted easy, I would go read a book.
Sooner or Later
Must not have palyed many MMO's if you like AOC that much.

Aparently you havent played many MMOs.
The combat isnt revolutionary. Its hack and slash. It has been done many times before (though I guess not in an MMO).
The quests are the same standard fare you will find in most MMOs on the market today. The same Kill quests, FedEx quests, etc. Just it has a KOTOR style dialog scheme and a radar system that tells you where to go.
PvP will soon be less FFA than you think.
There are 3 types of people in the world.
1.) Those who make things happen
2.) Those who watch things happen
3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"
This man needs a thumbs up.
This man speaks the truth
Well said and QFT.
@op: Nice to know but you can also put this in a signature and of course , it is your opinion and it stays that way and it doesn't mean it is the best mmo out there.

Yes i agree it will be amazing once all the bugs are ironed out. But it's still alot of fun in its current state. The combat mechanics in AoC are the best in any Past or Present MMO. I would go as far to say alot of games in the future will try to copy Funsom's ideas.

As a big fan of PvP in other mmos such as EvE I have to say this games pvp is nothing to go by. Though EvEs pve is not that special it was never really meant to be special, just a way in which to raise cash for pvp, since its expspensive to die. With this game at the moment I feel largely mislead, being told it would be an awe-inspiring pvp rollarcoaster. When to me it seems like a cross between relatively easy pve, and PvP that has no point.
Really what i'm trying to say is that AOC really needs to get its goals setup, to be a pve focused game or pvp centered to try match the FFA system.
Can't help but to think this post is only meant to bring out the trolls and haters for some drama. Lets see who all takes the bait.
viral marketing troll bait ftw!
I dont need to market for Funcom. 700k subscribers after only one month is an amazing success story, facts are facts.

Must resist the troll.
I enjoy the game But it does have alot of bugs to work out.
I don't get all the Haters. You don't like the Game. I get it. Why waist your time spaming hate messages. Move on.
All I ever hear is "AoC has lots of potential!"
Sorry, I'm not paying for "potential." Call me when the game is actually complete and has the features advertised and doen't run like a slideshow.
Its not the bugs that annoy me but the poor gamepla, bugs just add to the anger.
People are posting hate messages or the likes due to many being very dissapointed, I feel a wanker for buying the game

HAHAHAHAH! LMAO did he REALLY just post that.....
I am with the rest of you. I need to get my resistant underwear on.
I think I will turn myself into a and eat some and with a side of while riding my looking for some 's who want to until they . Then I will with the .
I have a level 54 Guardian and while I thought Age of Conan was great at first, the game's shortcomings are starting to wear me down.
The instances...for lack of a better word...suck and suck horribly. Poorly designed and boring. Group combat is a spamfest of graphical effects which are more for show than for doing anything useful.
I find myself just going click-click-click-click. What's the skill in that? mindless clicking. Combo delays are annoying. Revolutionary combat? No way. There are three classes in this game....slashers, range and healers. Nothing that sets classes apart like in other MMORPGs (ie. WoW). That's why you can throw pretty much any classes together for a instance run.
No one plays the PvP mini-games because they are dull and unoriginal.
Gathering is a boring time sink...I want SWG style gathering. Crafting is a simplistic joke. Gemcutting is a WoW rip-off.
I love the destiny quests because of the way they are presented, but other than that I ready to jump into the next decent MMO that comes along.
I would agree that starting off this game was more fun then any other mmo I've played. (been playing mmo's since UO). That's just starting off; although, seems this game is lacking endgame, but that's to be expected considering the game was just released. It's unfair to compare AoC to games that have been out 1+ years already. Give it time. The combat system is a love it or hate it concept. I personally think it's great.
Nice try at viral marketing. Wont do much good on this forum though...
Great for you, subpro. I hope you'll enjoy it for many years to come along with all the others who do. :-)
Personally, we'll see, but I don't ever listed to the silly people who can't stand others liking something they don't. ;-)
