all who play anarchy online prolly know what im talking about, last few weeks the community been abused with nerfs,full of buggs patchs, and even worse, broken fixs that left at least some us feeling cheated,and defintly killed the new expansion AI- which is now the biggest grind in game,and worse, lack any rewards at all compared to shadow levels. last trick in the book was a nice way of shoving an XP nerf down the players throat, they made it about 8 times harder to level, then when the comunity went boom, "fixed" it with some odd curve,now its about 3 times harder to level for lowbyes,4-5 times harder to get alien levels for high levels.did we mention some of the most major featurs on the back of the AI box STILL arent in game?
id love to hear some feedback over this , from the player base, or other ppl- does this situation of customer abused,and ignored, happen on all other games?or is this some special funcom thing

No theres no reason to feel special. SOE does the exact same kind of things to the players of SWG and EQ. Im sure other posters here can add to the list of games with bad CS and a history of player abuse.

I have no idea what game you are playing frosteye, but I started a new alt the other day and made it to lvl 25 in about 6 hours, I know ppl in my guild going through the 120s upto 150s an hour or so a lvl in ely heck groups.
The just raised Alein exp, and in SL I find drops galore. seems to me from your post you are just a typical whiner who wants your uberness for nothing... well AO is not the game for you then, so maybe you should move on to something a little easier.
AO Cs is fine , never have I had to wait long for a responce.

1- lets not talk about lowbye and noob levels ok? 120 and 150 is a joke at best, and i refer to the grind as in shadow levels. when u get there, IF ull get there, ull know.
2- drop galore? try to get an inferno drop pls. perhaps u mean ingots as drop galore? cus i was refering to real loot, not the junk.
3- AO cs is a horrible joke. profs arent balanced,and the comunity is ignored and even spit in the face at some issues. a god exaqmple is a mate reporting an account that was hacked, while online to GM , asking him to block it cus he KNOWS the sec he logs 3 years of hard work go down the drain seeing as the hacker laready changed his password.- thew GM basicly tells him to send a mail ,and that he wont do jack to help. then 3 hours later the man has to log. when he logs back EVERTHING he had that wasnt transfered is gone. FC then tells him they are aware of the fact nodrops where deleted,but they still wont give it back. thats a tiny example. more worse are the lovly "yes we know u got screwd due to a bug that we are wawre of , but we wont reimburse hours of hard work cus we can".for most vet players the most common thing an ARK /GM reminds them off is the "im sorry , but there is nothing we can do".
oh yeah, that makes a LOT of sense that post of yours. just cus maybe someone aint intrested in playing 6 years t get to 220 like you mr.slowpoke, or has any diffrent view of the game, then he must be dumb!cus ur so uber! u betad SO many games ! OMG, can i have your autograph! look mate, if u cant get even 1 example or constructive answer to the points i made, how abot u go troll some other forums where "uber" ppl like u go?
to try to answer whatever u said:
1- AO is a complex game, that has nothing to do AT ALL with level of content, and grind. i have no idea in which world u live in, but in most sane places, time sinks are the negative of complex. hecks arent complex at all. the grind got NOTHING to do with being complex- its got all to do with being TOO SIMPLE,and NOT challengin at all.
2- fast paced action - amm what? where? i dont care for slow leveling, i level most of my chars to the 200 pre sl, some pre notum wars. slow is ok, as long as it aint tons of exact same. in sl u got 3 choices to level. hecks, mortigs, spirit rooms if u lucky to know an nt. thats just shity. we got quests and all,but they give crap sk/xp, so u cant realy even get a friction of a level doing something else then killing those same mobs.
now, im very sorry if i hurt ur feelings mr.uber.- but u know us dumb ppl, we are just like that.
haha nicely said

I'm also sick and tired of the things funcom has done... I have been with the games 3 years now but this last exspansion just ruinede every thing. I hated SL when it came because it totally ruinede RK... and this Exspansion did not help much for life on rk
BETA TESTED : Everything
Playing : AO, IL-2 FB AEP, OFP
Waiting for : D&DO, MEO, D&L
haha
ppl who think AO is compex are the dumbest
try something like neocron after teh simple AO gameplay
AO is for brainless players
crock you most be an idiot....AO has the most complex character development of any MMoRPG bar none.
Character development, remember that .
As far as game play AO follows the formula of PnP games, it relies on the develpment of the character and not the reflexes of the player.
Its a different style then neocron which is a hybrid of FPS and RPG. I cant wait till a good game actually comes out that mixes FPS and RPG. Neocron blows chunks, Planetside is fun in short bursts of play but to repetative for playing for long time periods.
Personally Frost I have played AO off and on since its beginning, but i dont play it enough to get to the point of burn out like you have. In 3 years my highest character has been only 142, an leveled the right way, I refuse to do hecks.
I have 5 different MMos, and I bounce between them, never staying with any for more then a couple months straight, downfall is I dont have many maxed out characters(DAoC 1 lvl 50 rr 4, EQ 1 lvl 59 Planetside 1 BR 14, AO 1 lvl 142, SWG no maxed proffesions), upside is I dont get burnout and bitter and I like all 5 of thoughs games.

All I have to say is take a seat with me here guys in waiting for WOW.. I loved AO back in the day, but SL absolutly destroyed that and I left and have never looked back...Most of the MMO's I play now are the same freaking way, my thinking is now that if Blizzard cant make something to keep me for a while nothing can....
Anyways since you finially relize that Funcom is agianst you the best way to reply to that is with a big Cancelled account... Trust me AO feels ever Cancel they get.

moron, explain me plz where did u find that complexitiy?
i think neocron was just to complex for u
if u can see in AO complexity
about char dev in AO..yes u can make an enforser with shotgun ...if u r so dumb...but all well developed chars are the same....rise ur green fight skills and needed nano skills
thats all complexity
So all you have to raise is green fight skills and needed nanos?
what did you do, play the 7 day trial?
Oh well no need argueing with an idiotic troll
....if neocron is so great, then by all means ...play it
. I didnt care for Neocron
, and you wont see me on its boards either.
Godz of War I call Thee
Godz of War I call Thee
dont play neocron right now
but did u rised only dark blue fight skills to enjoy complexity?
u cant call me an idiot ..i dont call simple things complex like u does
u cant explain where compexity is..so i think u r abit retarded sorry=)
Oh no, that crock a$$hole again.....
Lol he is so stupid, he creates new accounts only to flame AO......
What a loser spirit
PS: Is SOE paying you? moron
Big companies have trouble bringing out an expansion without a time of re-adjustement (look at posts about EQ's Gates of Discord, a disaster.) . So I am not surprised that it will take a few weeks see months before it is really balanced. Funcom is a small company doing a great job with the ressources they have.
Having played several MMORPG's. Funcom listens more than most. On the old EQ boards with Abashi, you could get a warning on your account for disagreeing with him.... SWG: thousands of testers saying "Its not ready yet !!!" etc etc
I think that World of Warcraft will have the first top of the line release (DAoC was ok, but content was lacking at release as in City of Heroes), smooth and quite complete.
Often people are burned out on a game and are imagining that an expansion will make it feel like day one, sorry won't happen, sometimes a few month break might be a better solution.
For past year Funcom literally did nothing new in AO except reworked chat system. Expansion didnt bring new content either. Just usual crap with new items, new levels(yet again :rolleyes:) and camping.
Eh, I would play on pre SL AO nonstop, but well..
Well for complexity, Neocron is like checkers wereas AO is like GO in comparison.
If you think Neo is more complex then AO then you u are just smart enough, (also known as dumb), to barely understand the Neo mechanics but the AO ones are so far above you that there is no way to delve any deeper then the surface without blowing a few circuits.
Neo has like 6 basic skills, each has 4-8 subskills, each lvl you get 5 points in that skill to spread around them subskills. 1-50 cost you 1 point, 51-75 cost you 2 points 76-100 cost you 3 points and 100+ cost 5 points. And that is the whole and complete of Neocron skillsystem. Explaining AO's skillsystem would take well over 10 pages.
AO has several million combinations of implant setups, as you can create them yourself, symbiants are not so diverse but still so above Neocron in terms of choices I really can not find an analogy to compare them. Items in general, well AO has more social clothing options alone then Neo has if you combine every item in that game. Weapons and armor, NCU and and buffs, special attacks and perks.
Even if you removed every item in AO and just ran around looking the same all the time, (like you do in Neo BTW until you find a powerarmor), it would STILL be infinitely more complex then Neo.
Honestly saying Neocron is more complex then AO is like saying Kings Quest 1 has better graphics then Doom3, and mean it. Well only if you are blind would you get away with such a claim and what we are talking about here are mental ability and understanding. So Crock I estimate your Mental capacity is like the seeing capacity of a blind person.

Its a great game. Too bad they never learn to listen to their customers and follow the wishes of them not "shutting" everyone up like they are doing now. So much for constructive critisisme.
Releasing AI as this years expansion is like having to pay for a patch. 1/1000 content compared to last years expansion SL wich was great. I cancled my subscribtion now.
Troch,
If ya leave, give ur old stuff to an ol' guildie will ya
AO goes to a lot of changes, while some are out of place. the majority of the 'nerfs' are really for the better of the game.
Anyway... if you really get anoyed by FC/AO ffs please do what ever ya like, but spot showing ur face at an AO forum spot. Or worse, apply for an AO beta..
Hi Crushr
Well actually I quit rimor a while back. Been playing on RK1 this summer. have another 202 Fixer there 
Unfortunalty my RK2 fixer is stripped or else id give it to my old guild ofcourse 
AO is really one of the best games out now but for me its dying. To many "unimplemented" promised features. They need to something about the way they communicate really. thats the biggest problem.
Maybe they need to stop making expansions and just make booster packs :P Since NW was a great addition to the game for me and many others (well after the bugs got ironed out)

AI got me back in. Can't wait till player shops go in, that will be the big boost for me, I hate auction channels.
I like the AI part, started a new trader too, and having fun doing the starting quests, starting out is definitely better than before, they get you started on tradsskills right away and upgrades, much fun.
I happen to be apping to Crushr's guild actually, Tiger Claw if that's who this Crushr is hehe.

LOL dude please show me your ignorance again, ive been playing AO for well close to 3 years, and you beatbox...you been playing for two weeks, you nothing about AO except for easy no brainer stuff (leveling)...
the point of this post is how the AO devs seem to be ingnoring the playerbase...look at the thread on the AO forum about City Recompiler Unit, already 5 pages long in a forum thats been open for a week, i cant tell u how many post (at least 4 different threads) were on the temporary launch forum...what have we got out of FC...nada....not even a "we are looking into it"
I heard they will fic the CRU right after the opi shoulder pad bug,.
i played AO for over a year. i found the game right after the SL launch, made a fem sol keeper, and stuck through every single sol keeper problem while learning the game, all the way to lvl 200.
anyone who knows anything about the sol keeper problems, or the fixer SL issues... i might listen to what they have to say. anyone who doesn't know, and is giving out opinions so freely, those people suck and shouldn't give opinions on AO. 
i'd be playing AO right now, if not for more important (gah! more important than AO???) issues.
AO r0xx0rz!!!
