Yea, I to had issues. First, even thought I have DirectX 10, it said it wanted DirectX 9 files from 6 years ago. Then it went through and aplied one file at a time....I hit launch, it said your DX is out of date (no, I have latest 10) and then updat…
The guy that did the SC bit is member of old comic team called 'four heads in a duffelbag'...look for video called Hells Helpdesk on youtube to see another funny skit by him
I think that those 'hacked' have lost the sympathy factor. We have all seen those incredibly obvious 'engrish' emails in our spam folders. I am sorry, but if you are dumb enough to fall for this, you deserve what you got.
You dont feel sorry for i…
If I had a dollar for everyone that threatend to sue a MMO company in a fit of rage, I could buy Bill Gates.
Like it or not, 'we can do what we please, to whoever we please, for whatever reason we please' is in every MMO's EULA and we all agree to…
I know many dissagree, but when people are so incredibly stupid and reply to fake emails and blindly give up their account info...I do not think blizzard should help...how else will these people learn? When punishment comes to stupid people, then m…
I have been playing Dragon Age with the Nvidia 3d Glasses and 120hz monitor and omg, it is beyond description. Just picture crawling inside your monitor.
As for the game, so far I can say it lives up to all the sky high ratings it has received. T…
They have a huge acknowledged problem with Time Warner cable customers right now. No solution even after a week. In the closed and part of the open beta, it was with Comcast. I could not walk 5 feet without rubberbanding and spells took 30+seconds …
There is common misconception when people buy pre-made pc's that somehow, they are faster then what you can make yourself. This is simply not true. Every part they use, you can buy yourself (on newegg, or whereever) and save 100's of dollars. These…
On my server (Trinel) the number one legion (legacy) recently all quit and formed a WoW guild.
The first month game time ends in couple of days. It will be interesting to see the impact of the mass canceled accounts.
NCSOFT made a horrible mis…
If you said best MMO potential I would agree. But, I canceled my sub over the botting issues. I really got tired of reporting bot after bot and having them still be there week or more later.
Nothing else matters beyond this deal breaker. Not the…
The line is getting fuzzier. P2P games are not clearly better then FTP. I think Guild Wars and RoM and Atlantica are good examples, oh...and now D&D. The other fuzzy line is that FTP really is not free. They need to make money and some very im…
Here is what I was trying to get at, but maybe did not say it clearly.
From what little programming I know, all code is eventually loaded into RAM. So, lets assume the makers of
Warden, GameGuard, what ever...have these bot programs to study. T…
I like Aion, but got to admit, I am worried.
Can anyone name another MMO with worse botting/spam problems? Only one that comes to my mind would be Lineage 2 but that also is NCSOFT .
The lack of communication. Again, can anyone name a MMO with…
Its not WoW...its MMO's...its all the Internet. Anonymous=APD....APD=Asshole personality disorder.
People that might be borderline decent in real life under the cloak of the internet are free to become the biggest
assholes imaginable. Also, con…
I have seen several 'I got banned for no reason' post on various Aion forums. What others have said is true, you must talk to NCSOFT, as only they can remedy the situation. in the other cases the people said the only thing they could think of was t…
I think in Asia, trial accounts exist. So, ban is not a threat to farmers. I feel this problem may be taken to lightly. NCSOFT allowed one of their other games to be ruined by bots/sellers. Aion is very good, but its not good enough to put up with…
This has had zero effect. I still get a whisper 2-3 times per minute and even if you use /anon you will see tons of spam on the LFG and other channels. For reasons beyond understanding, they do not do something more effective like /report and then …
The 2 new things NCSOft added (right click block, and no whisper till L5) did absolutely nothing. The OP is not kidding, You will see a spam at least 3-4 times per minute. Block does nothing, their bots keep coming. I also agree with the OP that no…
Think how different the Internet in general would be if people stopped believing you can get free things. No more virus, no mor malware, spam would dwindle to the idiots that believe they can buy bigger genitals, smallers butts and lose 300 pounds …
Very good post...I agree with everything OP said. Now, for my ideas.
1) NCSOft MUST start talking with their player base. Their Twitter only thing is a bunch of bull. I saw they said that due to a bug, they could not reply on their own forums, we…
