This board is NOT representing the game

Well, its useless. Whiners, bashers, liars. Full of missinformation. Its feels like the underhalls of the undead. Remote controlled undead tools roaming the halls. 90% written here is BS.
I ll leave the board. AoC for me has content till december or so. Why bothering reading here ? And it wont get better until people can move on to the WAR or Aion forum, just to keep on whining and bashing there. I dont think there ever will be a game to satisfy you. Your game is whining... and you know who you are.
I guess i wont be missed and i wont miss you either

Well as a game progresses/gets older its inevitable for boards to get whinners, griefers, bashers, etc. But who cares bout that stuff really. You always have the choice to ignore them. Talking of choice, where's the option to vote no
As it stands using these boards for serious chat has and will always be hit and miss. I tend to use mmorpg boards till a game/official boards are released. Reason being the officials are regulated more (or can be, not always true), and they often get more GM/Dev support and real info.
For now my choice is also to use the AoC, mostly coz its better organised and ran atm.
I dont think i have seen this mutch hate for a game ever. Still I am impressed by how mutch time and hard work people spend on researching and digging up information about the game, a game they dont even like. Where the energy comes from is a mystery. Personally i rather spend my sparetime on schoolwork, working extra for tuition, or getting drunk. But i guess i am just weird like that.
wii make no differance people will whine about anything doesnt matter wether its aoc wow war eq swg it will never change. thankfully those that post is only a very small % of those playing any of the games,
anyone who takes any notice of the posts on here or any other forum as being "The Truth" about the game (any) deserves a idiot medal
Mourning, Horizons, WoW, SOE as a whole, and the most hated ever SWG.
AoC doesn't even come close to those rabid haters.
edit: oops, forgot to add DnL in that list somewhere
I don't think you'll find a good representation of any game in any forum if you're looking for an equilibrium between the people that have good experiences and those that have bad ones. For the most part, people don't come to forums such as this to present a positive aspect, but they rather tend to vent frustration. That's part of the official forums funcion as well.
As long as you don't expect these forums to be something they are not, the situation is really not that bad.

Can only speak for myself. But the reason I'm on these forums is that I dont have anything to play. As soon as I have a great game to play I play it and dont write on forums. Now after 3 weeks of Conan where I went from thoughts about upgrading my already really good computer for max experience, to complaining about the game cause I feel so disappointed that it wasnt as good as I thought from the beginning. For me it wasnt ready for release, it's not a finished product. Some say MMO's never are, but there is a minimum to what you need in it and have it work for it to be launched for me at least.
You must not be very good at the melee system, your combo's will always hit (unless blocked/dodged/etc) as long as you land the last directional hit in the combo chain on your target. After you do that stop moving or turning, you will hit your target. People jumping around is not an excuse for not being able to hit someone as it is still possible to get that last hit off.
You know, there are some pretty damn big zones in AoC and it is very easy to play for hours on end and never cross a single zone line or see a loading screen (not counting when/if you die, which are pretty much instant).
I'll give you the point about the community, it isn't the greatest. But why on earth do you still have the public channels subscribed? Get a decent guild and there goes all your community issues.
You don't take damage when you are performing a fatality, all though I believe you can still die if you have a pre-existing DoT on you, and people can interrupt you while performing a fatality (annoying but rare).
The patch that is going live 45 minutes from now is supposed to add in the guild functionality, although I do not know for sure.
There is not a single craftskill that cannot be maxed out n the current implementation of the game, some skills do however require low drop rate items to craft/advance. Low drop rate, but they do drop.
Do you honestly expect a different leveling time in any other modern game? (Most) People don't care about 1-cap, they care about cap and no company making a western MMO is going to have an insane time to cap such as seen in L2 and the like.
Tortage can be bad, but than again you can do a lot in night mode and once you get into the main world there is a lot less of that to be dealt with because it is more spread out and instance.
You know, it is funny how you label instancing as a bad point (I am guessing because of separation of community because load screens are typically less than 10 seconds for me, and they are sometimes damn near instant; not to mention the huge zones in the game), yet you also say that having a more condensed area such as Tortage is a bad thing. Is there anything that would make you happy.

The forums here are not that different from the official US and EU forums, actually some of the posts I have read over there are far more critical and abusive than what is over here. FYI 100% of statistics are made up 99% of the time, and when they aren't they are skewed to bolster whatever point one side wants to make.

Actually it's been fairly balanced. That is what boards like this are for, sharing opinions. I agree that it may be a good, fun game but I think the issues that have been raised are important. Never mind how fun the game is, how would you feel if you put a lot of time and effort into building something with your guild only to have it disappear and support does nothing about it? The fact is that there are huge amounts of the game that need worked on. Issues that should have been fixed in beta, but it seems like Funcom didn't really beta test. They just let people play. They didn't even facilitate people reporting problems. Like others have said, there is no way in hell I am paying Funcom to beta test their game. Once it has been polished up I will give it a try. Until then, there are not getting my money.
Everquest 2 is'nt open world.
AoC and EQ2 are pretty much the same with instancing.
Yeh EQ2 is the same crap as AoC and big letdown after EQ1. Indeed, market is already big enough to accomodate these sorts of anti-explorers that wants to have every quest lined up 5 steps around them.
REALITY CHECK
This game is bad. It's in fact a failure. There are a few days left for folks that go in on the first day or first week. We will see their subscriptions drop to near zero.
{ Mod Edit }
The game is in FACT a failure? are you kidding? so far financially its been a success lol. and if the masses leave then it will fail eventually if it doesnt get fixed but lets face it...log in and you see people so its not likes it vanguard empty is it? which oh ye it still going and getting stronger!
You can prove beyond any doubt the game is a failure? So if this month all these ppl playing decide to stay another month n pay the sub...you gonna say 'Oh just wait till next month.' etc n so on?
Just because you didn't enjoy the game...does not make it a failure. As long as money is being made and ppl are subscribing..no game is a failure. Look at Sony games...
A total representation of a hater.
Insulting someone looks is just plain childish, I can understand if your pissed off by the game, or maybe your just trying to be funny, but in any case its not a valid point why the game for you sucks.
Assuming the game is a failure is your personal bias and thats cool if you want to think that way, but I seriously doubt AoC is will be disappearing anytime soon for you. As bad as you want this game to becoming a $1.99 bargain bin mmo by next week and burn to the ground, well <imo> dont think this will happen anytime as soon as well. (But you could of gotten it for $39.99 last week on Amazon and at your local Best Buy).
Whether you like it or not, if AoC can keep over 250k+ people insterested, you might want to give up your hate for the game and do something more productive in a game you like to play. As this is <IMO>
You think official AOC forums represent the game ?
Read both and you will get a better picture of the game.
I just think the OP needs to change his tampon. For real.. why do people get pissed when others dont LOVE the game like they do? When I see bad posts about AoC its usualy lagit complaints rather than just "AoC sucks". I also see about half the AoC posts are praises. Its not like its a one way street. Rabid fanbois are just as lame as the trolls.
funny how all these trolls fit under the mmorpg bridge
The following statement is false
The previous statement is true
I dont think AoC is a failure by any nature, there are just more fans than haters, you always gotta have the ones that hate and the ones that praise and this is a good thing. If everyone that bought this game and thought it sucked, we would be seeing alot more posts from different users than the same haters on this website.
However this website has been known always to be single sided with its users base when it comes to games.I just recently picked up the game myself last week and enjoying my time so far. I can only think why someone would hate this game is because they are hardcore mmo players and want it all on day 1. I guess this makes me a fanboy for defending a game by saying this even though I been playing for 5 days.
250,000 plus subscriptions is pretty big and believe this is arounf EQ series numbers, but compared to WoW it is small. But people tend to forget that you dont need 10 millions subs for a mmo to be a success.
Currently Playing: AO and FE.
Considering how popular the game is; its surprising there's so much hate and whining on these forums..
But the facts speak for themselves - the game is doing well. So the whiners can have fun bitching and complaining until Warhammer comes out; at which point they can start the whole process again.
This is the thing, it s popular on initial sales. The whining and bitching as you say are from alot of people unhappy with their purchase, here and on other forums. So i would say it s safe to say it s popularity isn t as high as some think.
Problem is they will claim that most people dont play/own the game and those who do suck at the game or (my personal favorite) have computers that are outdated and can only run WoW.
There are 3 types of people in the world.
1.) Those who make things happen
2.) Those who watch things happen
3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"

Ah yes this is true.
Good ridance, there are decent posts here and good information from people that actually play games and state opinions or facts.
Its funny how you state an opinion and clearly put that its an opinion in writing and people go beserek .
I guess fanboys can't take the heat.
I know.....lets develop a game where we all created wonderful polished characters with shiny shiny armor, pretty faces and big colorful hair....
then all stand around in magic mirrors that make us look young and in shape and tell everyone how great we are........
No wait..........that happens everyday at work......(
