The best game ever!

Why are the troll posts still going up finding every possible tiny thing about the game. It's silly. I can name things about LoTR I don't like... the characters, the game play is boring I could go on. But do I go to the LoTR and say that .. no because one, I'm intelligent enough to know that everyone's taste differs in games and I have respect for the normal players (not the trolls) of the game and would not do something like that.
Age of Conan is a great game, and it's only gonna get better over time. So, all you trolls can kiss my.....
Comments
Ha! Well done!
Thanks
I thought it was rather comical myself
To me it's more "tacky and loud".
Nice Modria
We shall rid these forums of the pointless trolls soon enough, one thing we have over them is an enjoyment that will keep us coming here long after they have gone onto the next game.

The best way to get ride of trolls is to prove their arguments wrong, if they have the upper hand in arguments and your best counter is a "kiss my ass" or to call them trolls straightly, you are doing nothing productive nor good for the game/genre.
The game has its flaws, wether you like it or not. If they adress them properly it might become a good game, if they ignore those flaws, the game will fail. Still it's understandable that some people would expect more from the "uber hype phenomenum", and that irritates people (Im personally irritated at how poorly designed the game is at higher levels and how repetitive it becomes, seeing as there isnt much about endgame now)
Im personally having a better time than playing Requiem or Rohan so I'll keep playing till I can't force myself anymore, but both closed mind fanbois and trolls make me sick.
Mordria = Maximum Fangirl and is completely UNOBJECTIVE about AoC.
These inane posts are just as annoying as the "hater" posts. They are designed to cause trouble and get people's backs up.
Bottom Line - If you like it, more power to you. BUT, there are serious flaws, and issues with AoC's business ethics that can't be ignored. Trying to trivialise these, simply because you are so blinded by your love of the game might cut it for you, but doesn't cut it for others. Some people seem to be of the opinion that only positive experiences should be posted here. While I don't subscribe to the "first post, one line, this game sux0rs post", many people have gone into great detail about why they don't like/aren't staying etc.
In closing, DEAL WITH IT. It is not a perfect game; the flaws have been illustrated and proven here many times over. Many of these flaws are not "little" as the OP has tried to make out. Enjoy whatever you play, but don't think that you can revoke other people's right to voice their opinions. I am happy so many people are talking about how lacklustre the 40+ in AoC is. It was based on several of the more elaborate threads here and my own experiences that I decided to stop playing and delete the game. Quite simply, it wasnt for me.

And this is exactly my point. You have had your mind set against AoC even before release and are yet another LoTR / WoW fan. Another Troll...

Will AoC run on pretty much ANY system?
Yes, just maybe not at high settings.
Is AoC friendly to children or parents who play MMOs with their children as a family unit?
I know what your getting at, but let me ask you a question to answer this. How many copies of GTA4 have already been sold? Rating means nothing nowadays.
In case you are in ANY doubt, the answer to both these questions is a resounding NO and those are two of the biggest reasons that WoW is such a huge success subscriber wise.
They are only a resounding NO in your eyes, because you don't want to see anything else.
S
I never said, AoC would kill WoW or surpass it's numbers. I simply commented on some of the arguments that people are using to claim AoC will have poor numbers or lower than expected.
Nah, its a resounding no because AoC just doesn't have what it takes to sustain numbers that high. The only time it will be anywhere close is in the first month.
Maybe you like playing games on low settings but I dont. I am no WoW fan, in fact I've played it for a maximum of 4 or 5 days, but AoC won't even come close. LotRo didnt come close and it is a far more polished game that was released in a far better state than AoC.
Im not saying AoC will fail miserably, I suspect it will maintain a decent sub level, but the numbers you and some of the other people in this thread are spewing out are insane, unrealistic and unattainable for a game like AoC.
Keep thinking it will break 2 million or even 10, it won't. No amount of raving fanboism will change that.

Couple million ? You sir have very high expectations, Don't hold your breath waiting for the first million to show up.
I have high expectations because I've been playing the game, and I know those expectations are realistic.
Lol, prepare to be disappointed. It doesnt have enough to keep people interested. For some reason Funcom have some idea that nudity and gratuitous violence will keep people around. Even the little rubber people who will no doubt be dry humping their monitors for the first month won't be around for long.
The steep system requirements and yet another crumby launch on the part of Funcom will also help to lower the initial sub numbers. My guess is about 500K at launch and at the 3 month mark 250 - 300K. I dont forsee this game ever breaking the 1 million mark tbh.
S
I cant even tell you how many quarters I put into Ghouls n Ghosts and Ghosts n Goblins. It really was an exceptionally challenging game. When I said "elite", I didn't mean to imply that we were better than anyone, just that we, as a group of people appreciated a challenge and as the guy in the clip observes, it was more about the journey than just getting to the end.
S
Fact is, no matter whose fault this is, its going to hurt the game. Personally I think the blame falls somewhere between Funcom and the Retailers. Funcom/Eidos are the ones who came up with this stupid scheme and I have to say, limited early access is a new one on me. It certainly smells like this is some kind of clandestine server load test. Funcom seems to be going for a 100% failure rate concerning product launches. Im sure some of you remember the FIASCO that was the AO launch.
My copy will arrive next week and even though I felt the beta was weak, and the game probably needs another 6 months or so of development, Ill give it another go and see where I end up.
S
Most people on this planet in this day and age believe it is their right to have everything handed to them and this extends far beyond the realm of MMOs. What is the point of an MMO where everything can be done solo? There isnt one! You might as well go play Neverwinter Nights. I remember back when I was playing EQ, people would come together to overcome difficult quests and there would be a great sense of accomplishment and camaraderie. These days are gone! Today everyone wants the best loot, armour, jewelry etc, and they want to put in the minimum effort.
I hate to say it but I harken back to the days when PC online gaming was more of an "elite" institution. The type of "McDonalds, for the masses" gaming we have now just plain sucks. It has been transformed into a pathetic game of "My E-peen is bigger than yours" as opposed to dedicated players coming together to overcome difficult odds and having a great time doing it.
S
Maybe Ill try it at a later date. Looks like Funcom are going 2 for 2 as far as disasterous launches go
S
Some haters after being proved wrong by actually PLAYING the game have written positive reviews even on these forums (I cant be arsed to link you every one of them) and admit being wrong.
Most of the trolls arguments have already been discussed a gazillion times, though trolls who, until now, don't want to listen are lost cases.
That really is quite literally all.

Couldn't disagree with you more. It is the same people over and over stating the same things that are the problem. I have no issues with people who come to the forum who express an opinion of dislike for certain aspects of the game and move on......but people who hang around like a bad smell just to tell everyone how and why they dislike the game for the same reasons that have been heard a thousand times already (usualy form the same person) just need to move on, leave the forum to the people who are willing to take the bad with the good and hope for better and enjoy the game. I see nothing wrong with this post, it may not be constructive, but who cares, its all we seem to receive from the trolls.

Lol, pathetic. Yah I like LotRo but I've only ever commented on this forum that it had a better launch (technically, not financially) than AoC and thats a fact. You are a petty, unobjective troll as you consistently start these threads to cause trouble and wind people up. Get over yourself FFS.

Edit - You should maybe READ my previous posts as well as just copying and pasting. I played WoW for no more than 72 hours and am definitely not a fan (I cant stand the graphical style).
i would very gladly do so
no, wrong. do you know what a troll is? they dont care about your answers, they usually dont have any argument to begin with. they have templates for various games, change the name of the game and voila (GW-not mmo, WOW-kids, LOTR-boring, Vanguard-bugs and now AOC-zones) they feed on replies. you dont argue with a troll. best you can do is ignore. ignore it till it falls from the first page.
I need more vespene gas.
If you enjoy the game, why would you care what bad things other people say?
Why would you let it bother to the point of making this kind of post?
If you enjoy it, play it.
If others dump on it, your still having fun. Right?
Just ignore them, and enjoy AoC.

Honestly, the raging fan posts are doing at the moment more to keep me from trying AoC than anything else.
You see, I as many full expect the nay-sayers to be loud, but if fans counter them with same or worse methods they defeat their own purpose. Both original OP's post and a later anaconda proving that someone else is not an AoC fan ... well ...
Funcom needs help properly promoting the game instead of super-hyping it atm and fixing bugs kinda beats claiming they never existed.
it''s a fair game nowhere near what it is being hyped up to be though. Lot and lot's of bugs, some things half ass done or just plain broke, terrible customer service. It is about on par with vanguard quality wise, just a what does work is a bit more fun

It's the way most forums are. Flame wars between Haters and Fans. Some fanboys cant stand trolls who bash the game, especially when they are wrong, so they are bound to retort.Funcom doesn't need these forums to promote it's game. Already out with 400.000 sold and hyped to the max. Their hype is already out and it's people's opinion whether the game justifies the hype or not.
These forums are a mere amusement tool for many. It is useless posting problems gamers are having in-game, the official forums are made for it.
One of the reasons why official forums are closed to non-buyers is to not turn them into flame wars like this one.

Ive witnesed many posts in these forums which could be quite understandable from an open mind point of view, being labeled as trolling by fans with no arguments to shut their mouthes. As the last post states, people aren't going to convince anyone else. By now everybody knows about AoC, what's the point on hyping the game mindlesly even more, instead people should try to be productive in order to improve the game.
Some examples:
Many fans defended AoC sieges wouldn't be limited, once they are confirmed as limited, everybody jumps on the "well, 48vs48 is enough, that kills zergs". Those aren't helping AoC, go ask for better scalability instead.
War fanbois will reply this to the "Graphics suck" statement with a gameplay>graphics counter, like if it was impossible to have both at the same time. Those aren't helping WAR neither, go ask for a graphics improvement.
You don't need to discuss lies, you can point at facts. If a troll comes saying AoC is fully instances and saying he hasn't seen people for 10 levels, you can explain how the instances system works and move on cause he won't be able to reply to that, if a supposed troll comes saying that he doesn't enjoy the pvp system, you ask him for arguments, if he doesn't have arguments he will end up proving himself wrong.
There are tons of well put reviews to look for, I would take eurogamers.com as a example of negative one, and mmorpg.com or many others as possitive ones, but who the hell looks at forums in order to get a deffinitive review?
I am so good, I backstabbed your face!
Well put dear woman.

'Cry Havoc, and Let Loose the Dogs of WARRRRR!!!'
its good game. But not the best game ever. Thats a little eccentric. Nice pic tho. Cute
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
hehe quoted for truth and laffs.
Is it really a great game? I have read many good and bad things about AoC, and still can't make up my mind. I wish they had a trial, I really want to try the game without being out the $50 ... =(
I know this isn't the thread for it, but if anyone does have a buddy key that they wish to share plz pm me with it!! =D
