People need to relax

In all honestly Im amazed at the level of immaturity on mmorpg. All i see in this forum is flamers that bashing the game, and people trying to come up with reasons why people shouldn't subscribe. In all honestly im amazed that they don't look at former mmorgs and learn.

Let's look at what everquest had to offer at the start. And then look at modern mmorpgs.

Let's look at what EVE had.

Let's look at what World of Warcraft had.

None of these games had working PvP or Endgame at relese, in WoW's case it didnt have anything remotly close to pvp, no arena, no bg nothing. WoW and EvE been working on it's shortcomings true, and is now a if not wellrounded game then atleast have most common pvp in place. So if someone like the games atmosphere I don't see why people shouldn't wait for patches and fixes and content?

People can't expect a mmorpg to be relesed having perfect content like games with years upon years of continuated support, and gathered revinue.

So people should just calm the heck down.

    Well i think the op is on the same server as me. Relax?

    The biggest guilds have left or are leaving. The game breaking issues duping, gemstacking,pvp balance and end game sieges still broken or not in game. Not to mention the pve side of the game at 80

     

    Another patch today and nothing to report that changes these fundementals. Well doesnt seem as if this game will survive beyond the 3 months many players gave it by re- subbing..

     

    No reality is about to hit Funcom in the face when all those who gave them a chance now will be leaving when the 3 months is up..

    True flaming is a quite popular sport these days.   I take flamers with a grain of salt and just scroll past them.  Think the majority do just that.   That being said I will also say I did not like AoC.  Did not hold my interest.   I did not by into the hype but I was interested in how they were going to do the large scale sieges and thought those would be fun.   They were not like how they advertised them in my opinion and they were not in at start but ok so they were not.  That not what rubbed me wrong about AoC.

    Neither did all the bugs in it rub me wrong.  That annoyed me.   The instancing annoyed me.  But that all up to the gamer how much they will tolerate till the game is fixed.   What rubbed me wrong was Funcom's treatment of the problems and how they dealt with people.  Their were just down right arrogant and bad at costumer service.  Be frank they were jerks and a few other names.   That what pissed me off about them and totally turned me away from even taking a second look at the game.   Oh and the fanboys who blame people stating their opions were the ones responsible for ruining the game. 

    Now as far as comparing it to Wow or eve.  Different place and different time.  Wow, Everquest (Evercrack as we use to call it), Eve those were mmos that paved the way.  Everquest especially no one expected things that are now wanted in a mmo back then.  Just having an mmo was good enough to some back then.  Wow actually released a polished game but yea maybe or maybe not did not have everything everyone wanted in it.   But that was then.  When you promise "Steak and Wine Dinner" to players compared to the old "McDonalds" (Meaning wow and other games)  You can expect flak from people when they don't give you that Steak cooked right.   It is the miss steps by how Funcom handled things that I think and its my opinion that truly fueled the hate, the flamers and dissenters.   They provided the fuel and I believe created even more of them.   AoC might not in the end be a bad game.  I am not going to go back and play.  But Funcom is a bad company as far as I am concerned. 

    Maybe once Funcom get patched and the Funcom bugs are squashed I might take another look at AoC.

    Perhaps you should relax and go play your game, if it's so great? Then you won't have to worry about what's said here.

    Exactly.  In a month or two people will move onto new pastures and a tumbleweed will dominate this section of the forums with the odd post.  Which will probably then be revitalised in about a years time.

    And its not about what they had it is about what they told us they had.  I don't ever remember blizzard blatantly lieing and failing to produce what they promised would be there.  Heck if they did they would apologise and eta a fix.

    Let's look at every other game except AoC right? Lets use games that were released years ago as Funcoms excuse right? Lets not be upset that promised features were not only missing from the game, but hadn't been developed yet, right?

    Tell you what, I'm going to make a game for you, but develop and add everything after you buy it from me, deal? Oh, almost forgot, the 15 dollars a month still applies though, kk.

    personnaly im very calm about it, i dont like the game for a reason, as there is some who likes it for a reason, the fact that soooo many ppl don't like the game, make me wonder, what if we all were wrong? what if the game is really great ? what if ppl who likes it are right ?

    thing is i dont care, played get bored quit, then i post what i think about it, that it sux, if i was enjoying the game i will not care about what ppl say, further more i will not come post to ask ppl not to say what they think.

    if you are right and the game is great, cool for you, but stop comin asking ppl to calm down like if we were freaks

    age of conan is a piece of shit, iv shit down the toilet better creations than that game, and if you dont like what i say, dont read it .....................

    WoW also wasn't marketed/hyped as a PvP heavy game, promoting PvP systems that then didn't make it in, at all, for the retail release.


    That's the point you're missing here.

    But they should expect a game to release with the content that was hyped-up/marketed as key features for months before the game came out. We're not talking about some "side activity"... we're talking a core gameplay feature.


    Again, that's the point you're missing here.
    So people should just calm the heck down.
    Naw.. I think people have a right to be upset; esp. as every new update brings it no closer to what was promised and what they paid for and FC continues to pretend everything is perfect and peachy.

    We don't expect a MMO game to be released finished other wise it wouldnt be a good MMO. We do expect to not be lied to about the features that are in a game. We also expect a level of professionalism if we have to pay for a game which Funcom has not provided in the least. All they know how to do is lie about the state of the game.

     

    The game was released at best in a closed beta state. We had to pay $50 for a beta which is totally uncalled for. When you add to that the over all complete boredom the game creates (from half of it missing) and the horrible patches that have been put out (breaking more than they fix every patch most of which have been late for supposed quality control LMAO). On top of that Funcom had the nerve to try and make it look like our pc's was the problem and Conan was stable and fine, BS.

    I will personally continue to tell everyone how terrible this GAME (and i use the word game very lightly) is. They are getting exactly what they deserve.

    Bottom line Funcom screwed the community and we are not going to take it or believe the lies they keep spoon feeding us.

    You mean like a PvP reward system, mass PvP (the netcode still can't handle it), siege engines, hero classes, and so on for the initial 2004 release?

    I can understand that you're frustrated with AoC, but selective amnesia regarding other games is not exactly a compelling argument against Funcom.

    PFFFT level of immaturity? I am lightyears more mature smelling my lovely farts than being involved in any way with AOC. Yeah I'm immature. Not for loving/hating AOC, just by letting it still be in my life instead of tenderly placing it where it truely belongs:
