    Well if it is her, she should know, at least from my point of view, that I didnt play the last 2 months of my sub, in AOC, nor finish the trial period recently. However, I'll play trials, of Warhammer, as long as they have them.

    If you didnt finish out your paid time or even the trial why would you keep playing trials?

    He said he didn't finish his payed sub for AoC, meaning it sucked that bad.

    Finally someone with an intelligent idea :)

    I'm done with the game and will likely never go back.  If SWTOR tuns out to be crap, then I'll be done with the genre, but I'd never be so arrogant as to suggest they shut down any game just because I don't like it.  Any game will fail on it's own merits, so there is no need for any kind of petition.  After all, this isn't something political that requires the use of petitions.

    With PvE raiding, it has never been a question of being "good enough". I play games to have fun, not to be a simpering toady sitting through hour after hour of mind numbing boredom and fawning over a guild master in the hopes that he will condescend to reward me with shiny bits of loot. But in games where those people get the highest progression, anyone who doesn't do that will just be a moving target for them and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay money for the privilege. - Neanderthal

    Although I don't think Mythic is capable of solving the problems they have with their game, I also don't think they'll shut it down any time soon.  By soon I mean for a much longer time than the paltry 6 or 7 months this game's been live.  Same problems we told them of in beta and they just don't have the technical savvy to fix.  They know what the problem is, they just, can't fix it and it drives away people because it gets damn old really fast.
     
    People can look past many things in a game, but if you don't have the fundamentals such as controls, syncing, casting lag, reaction and general feel of "weight" behind your combat actions down, then peeps will look for games that do.  Such as F2P titles where at least they have the controls and feeling correct, even if the game is shallow.  I mean, if we're going to pay...may as well just play something else that is lacklustre for free and save the money.   But close it down?  No, it's too early for that.
     
    Trust me, I played Hellgate and yes, I could tell that was going to shut down and came as no surpise when it did.  But War is still...well it still has potential if they just stopped doing everything until they got the sync right and gave the  controls and "character feel" a complete revamp.  Start from scratch, get one character right, get it *perfect* you know.  Then fix the other characters.
     
    The issue is this, for those that haven't played and wonder what I'm jabbering about.  You press your shadowbolt skill.   Then there's like...couple millisecond pause between when the casting animation starts and the cast bar starts firing up.  Then the gcd starts ticking down and you'll see the spell start flying.  Then, by now the GCD is up and you should be able to cast the spell again but you get this awkward sort of pause between when you think you should be able to cast and when you actually can.  All this while the screen is registering that you, by rights, should be able to get that spell off again.  And when you do again...you start that same process over again, with that awkward little dead space after you press the button.  Now, repeat this tens of thousands of times in your character's career.  All the time aiming at a target that, in the distance, has it's animation looking terrble and out of sync to what he's doing as well and the whole thing feels like you're just flushing your money down the toilet because you're paying people that really don't deserve to be charging for such amateur garbage.
     But no, I don't think it will shut down, I just think it will flounder more as we watch it writhe and decay under the growing malaise of it's incompetent devs.  Incompetent is not an insult in this case.  Just merely, a fact.  They do not have the competence to fix this problem.  It would be nothing short of a miracle for their team to finally, really solve it.  Either that or hire someone who knows what they're doing, like you know, every other single game that doesn't have this problem...even the low budge free to play titles.  This game was the biggest dissappointment for me yet and I held out hope for a long time they would get it right eventually, but here I am still waiting. 
    Won't close it though in the meantime lots of people still enjoy it and play it, they can overlook the things that really get to others, like myself that would simply not endure it and much less pay for it when comparable offerings with much better "feel" to the game are out there to waste time with, but for free.

    WAR should of been daoc 2 plain and simple, screw the warhammer crowd.
    They would of enjoyed a daoc 2 better than Warhammer anyways.


    I dont see this game getting fixed or better.
    The TERRIBLE code of DAOC is there.
    The underlying terribad code of daoc is at the heart of the problem.
    They know how to fix it, dont kid yourself.
    But they dont have the time to rewrite the whole code.

    The caster lag and sync lag that everyone talks about was always in DAOC.
    If you tried to run, stop and then cast you get a error (you need to stop moving before casting)
    Although I hate to mention WoW, that was never a problem there.

    While im bitching this game out, the lack of Crowd Control that I was so concerned about when this game was in Beta, WAS NOT FIXED BY COLLISSION DETECTION!!

    With Crowd Control, smart well played small guilds could humiliate the zerg.

    Without CC mindless zergs dominate.

  • logangregorlogangregor Member Posts: 1,524


    There are some serious problems with the game.


    I dont enjoy playing it.


    But, and its a big butt :P , its not going to get shutdown.

    I've got an unique idea:

    • Let the one's who like it, play it. 
    • Let's not try to decide what someone should do.
    • The one's who can think themselves, know if and when to quit.

     

     Oh, and don't be sad if your buddy decides to stay. I'm sure you can handle it.

    I did not suggest that it would be shut down, or that it was ever likely to be shut down. Rather I suggested that we should "PETITION" for it to be shut down because it is so appalling dreadful. We all know that Mythic sold out with the development and concept of WAR in trying to simply emulate WoW and in doing so produced a poor quality clone.

    So let me see if i have this right. You want everyone to sign and send a petition to Mythic to shut down a game that you do not play? Other than the fact that this is may be the most ludicrous thing ive read on this site ( and ive read some doozies)  i doubt Mythic gives a rats ass about what a non subscriber thinks and on the other hand why do you care?  Im not sure where you obtained the illusion that you have the power or the right to even suggest such a thing but sooner or later we all need to realize that in the entire scheme of things we are all nothing more than  nats on the dog pecker of life.  I would guess Sony has more than its share of haters as well, should we get them too? LOTRO has implemeted a quest helper some are upset about, lets get them also and what about AOC, God knows they shouldnt be allowed to continure.  Ok OP, what game in your eternal wisdom should we be allowed to play?

    Because the pen is mightier than the sword ? Honestly though, first time I ever saw people petitioning  to shut down a game.

    I vote we sign a petition to shut down the author of this thread

  • Nightbringe1Nightbringe1 Member UncommonPosts: 1,335

    The only vote that counts is the one you make with your wallet. As long as there are enough people enjoying the game enough to continue paying for it, the game will continue running.

    If you do not enjoy the game, un-subcribe and move on. That is what I did. Those who enjoy the game can and will continue to play it, and have every right to do so.

    As tired and worthless as I find the shallow "petition" threads, I think this one has merit.

    I know of no charitable way of saying it: OP you're a moron.
