Anubisan, please respond to this comment. How are CE accounts not working, pre order codes not working, "normal".
Now this problem I don't remember occurring in other games and I agree that this is Funcom's fault entirely...
However, I have heard on other forums that they are replacing these codes if your contact their support department. This is obviously a blunder on someone's part, but not something that cannot be fixed.
This is a bit more than a blunder. This has only ever happened in one other game. Can you guess which it was? I'll give you a hint, it began with Anarchy and ended with Online.
But I digress. Age of Conan's release has been far from flawless. It has been riddled with many many problems, but most of these could be overlooked. What couldn't be overlooked at least for me, was the Public Relations, or lack thereof. Private boards with ham-fisted moderators. Complete lack of any information about the state of the game. Flat out lying about certain things. My favourite was about they were touting Age of Conan to be the first DX10 MMO for as long as I can remember. Guess when they decided to tell people that DX10 wasn't happenening, LAUNCH DAY.
Again that they didn't have DX10 in on launch, or a Bank, or Auction House, had an entire zone that needs to be retooled, has severe game breaking bugs, and dealing with those bugs with a scythe instead of a scalpel, the list goes on, isn't something that most people can't overlook. What most people do have a problem with, is how they handle these problems.
Considering I only speak Greek and English, anychance you can translate this in either language? K, thanks, bye.
So is this what fanbois boiled down to, personal attacks and make themselves look like a tool? His english, I won't say is the best, but it's definitely comprehensible.
A little clarification considering that was rude, I was not dealing a personal attack to anyone, 2nd) I want something posted in english so everyone reading these forums doesnt have to read a ethics book to understand the conversation, and 3 I am not a fanboi, but I do enjoy the game quite a bit. By calling someone a Fanboi, are you not in your reply also commiting a personal attack on me by that reply? I think you are, So i can come to the conclusion that you are actually the one doing the personal attack here. And just because you feel this is comprehensible that doesnt mean that everyone does.
Please, point out which part of that post isn't in english. Or if you meant you want a condensed version, then well, if you're too lazy to read it, you're probably too lazy to give any kind of good input on the subject.
I was speaking about the following paragraph sorry for any confusion,
"
Cover girl cutouts throw pop-ups ads infecting victims with silicone shrapnel. Postproduction debutants pursue you in Nascar chariots. They construct ransom letters from biblical passages and bleed mascara into the holy waters of minds. They flash logos and blast ghettos; their embroidered neckties say stop snitching. They shout at you, 'pay no attention to the man behind the barred curtain nor the craters beneath the draped flag, those hoods are there for your protection.’"

That is my signature, and is nonsensical intentionally.
AoC- poor performance and optimization, game breaking bugs, people losing money in bankd and vendors, balance issues, exploits .... the servers did noyt crash is the best thing about the launch
Don't forget they are banning people without warning who didn't even realize their clever use of selling was an exploit.
Yep, they got ban happy and are already turning people off to the game because they don't warn and patch bugs they just ban. GO GO FUNCOM! there ban hammer must be burning. At least those people who got banned already won't waist their money on a monthly subscription.
We all know that a preview is not to be taken for a review, but this one stands out because it is fresh, well written and by no means based on the first 20lvls.
... lol I'm sorry ok you got a point there. His signature really does make no sense. Her. Anyway, the signature makes sense in an abstract way. You just have to think about it.

Why do people have to be so gender specific over the interwebs? You could call me a she-male over the internet for all I care, what difference does it make? Just something to think about.

The fact that you are saying "clever use of selling" just screams exploit. There is but one way to sell items there is no "clever" needed. If for some reason you find something along these lines you report it. Hell some game companies even reward you for finding an exploit and reporting it instead of abusing it.

By the same token, why did you have to call me 'him'?
But, no, in the end it does not matter, except that it simply incorrect. I think that is what made me point it out more than anything else.
I think what makes me so much angry about the "AoC case" (and whatever if you hate it or love it) is the fact that people aren't honest.
Most people are blindfolded about the whole thing. You can't denied that there is a massive ban campain going on by Funcom around the guilds, you can't denied that there are MAJOR issues (and by major i mean that even a game that as been out for a week or so should'nt have) like :
1) Money getting lost (all your money)
2) Mount riding even slower than running
3) Selling bugs (you sell things and 5 minutes later, all the items are back in your bag and you can't pick a thing on the mobs you just killed)
4) Map freazing or not even working
5) People having GREAT computer spec and having choppy performances
6) And i could go on like this...
And why can't people see everything of this ? Because some people have the bugs 1 and 5, the others 2 and 4, the others 8 and 17...
It almost sounds like that : When you play for the first time AoC, it's all a matter of being lucky at the "Funcom new Lottery". Which problems will you get ?
Don't get me wrong, i'm sure this game won't die and will keep going better and better, but for god sake, please : Do not denied that it's a bad game launch. Don't compare it to LotRO, WoW, Eve Online, etc. Those games had minors issues like normal games that come out on the market.
Actually, people are paying to play an OPEN BETA.

City of Heros was a great launch- no server issues, very few bugs , everything worked Launched with 0 pvp and was riddled with bugs and broken quests. COH WAS NOT A PVP game, this why there wasnt any PvP. They chose to add it later. Few bugs and a few broken quests/content. Like that guy says, COH is pretty much the best launch i have seen in an MMO. WOW - lots of server lag and some crashes but everything in game worked. Some balance issues Tons of bugs on release, unfinished zones (ie Silithus), no battlegrounds whatsoever. Most of the bugs came from character abilities/balancing. Unfinished zones didn't hinder gameplay, if they would just have blocked access, like they did with certain areas, there would be no problem. And yes another PVP game with no PVP mechanics.
AoC- poor performance and optimization, game breaking bugs, people losing money in bankd and vendors, balance issues, exploits .... AOC performs great unless your computer is not capable of handling it. The system specs are high, but that should have been expected from the beginning. Lag during play is almost non-existent unless it originates from your own slow computer. As for the bank and vendor bugs, these are normal on release and have occurred in many other games. Balance issues take a long time to hammer out. Every MMO slowly addresses these issues over YEARS with nerfs to one class and buffs to others. Its a constant work in progress.. Exploits are normal at this early stage in the game.
Tremendous balancing issues, the caster are in serious trouble. They need a lot of tweaking. Exploits are NOT this easily found at any stage in the game, exploits are basically game hacks where you work the game system to do something it's not supposed to. The exploits in the game were so easily found it was silly. It was simply a broken part of the game. Vendor bugs are vendor bugs, again, they happen at any time but with this game is just one more thing to add to the big pile. All the stuff that is happening in AoC is common to MMOs, the problem here is that its all happening at the same time during launch. And that is leaving a bad taste.

To argue your post, I can say exactly just the opposite which is also true, I have played the game and have had a very good experiance and not many problems at all. In fact I have an O.K computer and run the game just fine on low and medium settings without too much graphical lag. I think people that are having problems with their PC's ultimately do not know how to tweak their settings, No I am not calling them stupid, however the game market is now focused on 10-25+ gamers, most people dont know what they are doing, they moms and days buy them their PC that they use, and then are surprised when they cannot run something new. Aside from that though as many people that have had issues with the game, which to my opinion some could very well be lying because Most of the problems that everyone complains about I have never seen in game. Most of it is just opinion because the game isnt what they expected.

Rofl, and you mock people, calling them incoherent?
It's the new FUNCOM LOTTERY ! You join the game and you'll be associated with a certain numbers of bug. You won't know what they are until you found them all !
/sarcasm off
No seriously, some people have no trouble and it almost seem like it's being random, and if it is the case, then i can only say one thing : LEARN TO CODE A GAME.

Well, it's all over the forums, like the other guy said, you don't have to get hit with all the bugs, some, or none at all. It's a lottery. Good that you didn't get hit hard, but doesn't mean the game isn't plagued with problems for others.

On top of this, some people also dont notice the bugs. There are bunch of folks not noticing attacks not working correctly, bonus here and there not actually working, etc, etc.
Anubisan, please respond to this comment. How are CE accounts not working, pre order codes not working, "normal".
That has nothing to do with the acutual game itself, that is a customer relations / PR / marketing issue...if anything talk to Eidos about that one, they handle that. No one should piss on Age of Conan just because of that kind of issue.
Look people, it is 100% normal and should be expected for any new MMORPG to experience problems... sometimes significant ones shortly after launch. This has happened in EACH and EVERY game that has been released in this genre. I am so sick and tired of reading new threads created by naysayers who obviously hate the game and want it to fail. Regardless of your motives, there are certain facts you all seem to be ignoring. - Every MMORPG has problems at launch. AOC is no different. - AOC's problems at present are not game-breaking. In fact it has been one of the smoothest MMO launches ever. - AOC is not dying. In fact, it has had record sales and the population is increasing. - AOC has received very high reviews and customer satisfaction since release. - AOC's combat system does not consist of button mashing unless you are an idiot and do not know how to play. Obviously the game isn't for everyone, but so far it seems that more people than not ARE enjoying it. Starting threads like "Aoc is dying" or "Here is why AOC sucks" will not change anyone else's opinions of the game. This only makes you look like a troll and leads others to value your opinions less. If you don't like the game, your opinion is noted. BY ALL MEANS... go back to your same old comfortable MMO and stop posting here.
wow are you deluded or what?? I want the game to work as advertised the day it launchs.... I mean if this was any other product and it didn't work after you purchased it based on the description you would surely be on the warpath. Can you imagine buying a car and being told that the radio wasn't working and would be fixed in a few weeks...
It's amazing how anyone can come out and publicly state that it's ok for a software manufacturer to ship a product that is missing advertised features, having major bugs, and only a shadow of what was hyped. At the vary least the box should contain a warning, "the features and playability as described on this box may or may not exist at this time and may or may not be implemented in the future".
I for one want to be clear that what is advertised is what should be delivered. It isn't good enough to say it will be coming...

From a consumer standpoint, I totally agree with you. You shouldn't HAVE to deal with bugs with a product like this. But, in reality...name me a launch that had no bugs of this caliber. ONE GAME. Don't say WoW or I'll laugh you right off the forums. And frankly, I've seen MUCH worse launches. Try Anarchy Online or Vanguard.
I'm not saying it's what's right per se...but it is what IS. It's become something MMO players learn to deal with. Although by the same vein, every game that launches, you run into a ton of people saying the same things you are.
Honestly, I don't now if it's possible to do without delaying a product a stupid amount of time. Another 6 months, another year...and maybe then they'll still find bugs after release. At the same time, the company's financial backers will push them to release the game early to generate revenue. Remember it might not be the code monkeys putting out an inferior product willingly as much as the guys writing the checks breathing down their necks.

I think people have a right to complain about bugs really, alot of the game content is not in the current build, its quite unfinished. just because its the norm for mmo's doesn't make it acceptable really. but the rest of this post I totally agree with.
What is normal is that MMO developers don't care about releasing a buggy product.
So Funcom stated that they were working on the game for 5 years. No wonder they released the game with so many bugs. And that's normal, just because they can.
So be it. They will have to get the money from somebody else though.
The issue isn't the bugs, its Funcoms handling of the situation, which is atrocious at best.
If you actually have access to the forums (IE: at this point got swindled out of 50 dollars), you'd realize that they have no community contact whatsoever. At least with WoW launch they would brief you of the situation, it helps calm down consumers.
I didn't pay money to have my game crash after the patcher runs, my specs are way beyond minimum, it’s a problem on their end and we have had no word as to the status of many major problems, not an ETA on fixes or progress.
Some of you people need to get educated about the real world a little bit. If i buy a car flat out, and let’s say have it delivered to my house (made up scenario). Then they drop off a car that won't start, I don't sigh and go well "At least it has wheels...” because the model was just released.

However, I have heard on other forums that they are replacing these codes if your contact their support department. This is obviously a blunder on someone's part, but not something that cannot be fixed.
This is a bit more than a blunder. This has only ever happened in one other game. Can you guess which it was? I'll give you a hint, it began with Anarchy and ended with Online.
But I digress. Age of Conan's release has been far from flawless. It has been riddled with many many problems, but most of these could be overlooked. What couldn't be overlooked at least for me, was the Public Relations, or lack thereof. Private boards with ham-fisted moderators. Complete lack of any information about the state of the game. Flat out lying about certain things. My favourite was about they were touting Age of Conan to be the first DX10 MMO for as long as I can remember. Guess when they decided to tell people that DX10 wasn't happenening, LAUNCH DAY.
Again that they didn't have DX10 in on launch, or a Bank, or Auction House, had an entire zone that needs to be retooled, has severe game breaking bugs, and dealing with those bugs with a scythe instead of a scalpel, the list goes on, isn't something that most people can't overlook. What most people do have a problem with, is how they handle these problems.

They shout at you, 'pay no attention to the man behind the barred curtain nor the craters beneath the draped flag, those hoods are there for your protection.’"

They construct ransom letters from biblical passages and bleed mascara into the holy waters of minds. They flash logos and blast ghettos; their embroidered neckties say stop snitching. They shout at you, 'pay no attention to the man behind the barred curtain nor the craters beneath the draped flag, those hoods are there for your protection.’"
That is my signature, and is nonsensical intentionally.
Mne eto nado kak zuby v zadnitse.
Don't forget they are banning people without warning who didn't even realize their clever use of selling was an exploit.
Yep, they got ban happy and are already turning people off to the game because they don't warn and patch bugs they just ban. GO GO FUNCOM! there ban hammer must be burning. At least those people who got banned already won't waist their money on a monthly subscription.
... lol I'm sorry ok you got a point there. His signature really does make no sense.
I'll add this PREview to the list:http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/LaunchReview.asp?reviewid=941871
We all know that a preview is not to be taken for a review, but this one stands out because it is fresh, well written and by no means based on the first 20lvls.

Why do people have to be so gender specific over the interwebs? You could call me a she-male over the internet for all I care, what difference does it make? Just something to think about.

The fact that you are saying "clever use of selling" just screams exploit. There is but one way to sell items there is no "clever" needed. If for some reason you find something along these lines you report it. Hell some game companies even reward you for finding an exploit and reporting it instead of abusing it.

By the same token, why did you have to call me 'him'?
But, no, in the end it does not matter, except that it simply incorrect. I think that is what made me point it out more than anything else.

I think what makes me so much angry about the "AoC case" (and whatever if you hate it or love it) is the fact that people aren't honest.
Most people are blindfolded about the whole thing. You can't denied that there is a massive ban campain going on by Funcom around the guilds, you can't denied that there are MAJOR issues (and by major i mean that even a game that as been out for a week or so should'nt have) like :
1) Money getting lost (all your money)
2) Mount riding even slower than running
3) Selling bugs (you sell things and 5 minutes later, all the items are back in your bag and you can't pick a thing on the mobs you just killed)
4) Map freazing or not even working
5) People having GREAT computer spec and having choppy performances
6) And i could go on like this...
And why can't people see everything of this ? Because some people have the bugs 1 and 5, the others 2 and 4, the others 8 and 17...
It almost sounds like that : When you play for the first time AoC, it's all a matter of being lucky at the "Funcom new Lottery". Which problems will you get ?
Don't get me wrong, i'm sure this game won't die and will keep going better and better, but for god sake, please : Do not denied that it's a bad game launch. Don't compare it to LotRO, WoW, Eve Online, etc. Those games had minors issues like normal games that come out on the market.
Actually, people are paying to play an OPEN BETA.

MMEEEEEHHHHH!!!
To argue your post, I can say exactly just the opposite which is also true, I have played the game and have had a very good experiance and not many problems at all. In fact I have an O.K computer and run the game just fine on low and medium settings without too much graphical lag. I think people that are having problems with their PC's ultimately do not know how to tweak their settings, No I am not calling them stupid, however the game market is now focused on 10-25+ gamers, most people dont know what they are doing, they moms and days buy them their PC that they use, and then are surprised when they cannot run something new. Aside from that though as many people that have had issues with the game, which to my opinion some could very well be lying because Most of the problems that everyone complains about I have never seen in game. Most of it is just opinion because the game isnt what they expected.

Rofl, and you mock people, calling them incoherent?
You didn't read what i wrote !
/sarcasm on
It's the new FUNCOM LOTTERY ! You join the game and you'll be associated with a certain numbers of bug. You won't know what they are until you found them all !
/sarcasm off
No seriously, some people have no trouble and it almost seem like it's being random, and if it is the case, then i can only say one thing : LEARN TO CODE A GAME.

I suppose this is why I always defend the game against all the naysayers. I don't see what these people are complaining about!!

Well, it's all over the forums, like the other guy said, you don't have to get hit with all the bugs, some, or none at all. It's a lottery. Good that you didn't get hit hard, but doesn't mean the game isn't plagued with problems for others.

On top of this, some people also dont notice the bugs. There are bunch of folks not noticing attacks not working correctly, bonus here and there not actually working, etc, etc.MMEEEEEHHHHH!!!
who the hell said it was dying? it cant possibly die, its a new friggen MMO. the sales are thru the roof for the first few months.
also i like the button mashing comment about the combat system
. its always funny to watch people fail at playing games properly.
MMO wish list:
-Changeable worlds
-Solid non level based game
-Sharks with lasers attached to their heads
Anubisan, please respond to this comment. How are CE accounts not working, pre order codes not working, "normal".
That has nothing to do with the acutual game itself, that is a customer relations / PR / marketing issue...if anything talk to Eidos about that one, they handle that. No one should piss on Age of Conan just because of that kind of issue.
wow are you deluded or what?? I want the game to work as advertised the day it launchs.... I mean if this was any other product and it didn't work after you purchased it based on the description you would surely be on the warpath. Can you imagine buying a car and being told that the radio wasn't working and would be fixed in a few weeks...
It's amazing how anyone can come out and publicly state that it's ok for a software manufacturer to ship a product that is missing advertised features, having major bugs, and only a shadow of what was hyped. At the vary least the box should contain a warning, "the features and playability as described on this box may or may not exist at this time and may or may not be implemented in the future".
I for one want to be clear that what is advertised is what should be delivered. It isn't good enough to say it will be coming...

I'm not saying it's what's right per se...but it is what IS. It's become something MMO players learn to deal with. Although by the same vein, every game that launches, you run into a ton of people saying the same things you are.
Honestly, I don't now if it's possible to do without delaying a product a stupid amount of time. Another 6 months, another year...and maybe then they'll still find bugs after release. At the same time, the company's financial backers will push them to release the game early to generate revenue. Remember it might not be the code monkeys putting out an inferior product willingly as much as the guys writing the checks breathing down their necks.
I think people have a right to complain about bugs really, alot of the game content is not in the current build, its quite unfinished. just because its the norm for mmo's doesn't make it acceptable really. but the rest of this post I totally agree with.
My blog:
What is normal is that MMO developers don't care about releasing a buggy product.
So Funcom stated that they were working on the game for 5 years. No wonder they released the game with so many bugs. And that's normal, just because they can.
So be it. They will have to get the money from somebody else though.
Considering I only speak Greek and English, anychance you can translate this in either language? K, thanks, bye.
Says 'MR. Wall of Text Guy'. Don't think a translation of any language cures lack of reading comprehension.
The issue isn't the bugs, its Funcoms handling of the situation, which is atrocious at best.
If you actually have access to the forums (IE: at this point got swindled out of 50 dollars), you'd realize that they have no community contact whatsoever. At least with WoW launch they would brief you of the situation, it helps calm down consumers.
I didn't pay money to have my game crash after the patcher runs, my specs are way beyond minimum, it’s a problem on their end and we have had no word as to the status of many major problems, not an ETA on fixes or progress.
Some of you people need to get educated about the real world a little bit. If i buy a car flat out, and let’s say have it delivered to my house (made up scenario). Then they drop off a car that won't start, I don't sigh and go well "At least it has wheels...” because the model was just released.
