So now DX10 is supposed to save the game ?

I find it quite ironic - that the feature that was supposed to be in the game at launch is now waved around by Funcom as the next big thing in gaming....
But its more horrific to think that the game has been lacking content since launch and Funcom spent most of the time working on improving graphics instead of what is really needed.
But its sad to think of all the players that are already having to play in low graphic settings cause of bad engine performance and then having to listen to EE talk about DX10 that willl just make it even worse...
Good job Funcom.

Hold on.
First, the players have been treating DX10 as the single most game breaking feature because it wasn’t in a launch (OMG THEY LIED!!!!1SHIFT1).
Now they are adding it....... And NOW your saying it supposed to save the game? (Something your implying, not what they are saying).
How about they are adding it because of all the flack they got for cutting it (For good reasons)?
Talk about IRONY.
Also, Clue for you: Games are not made one feature at a time.

Actually DX10 was hoped to save AoC at Lipzig last month. This month they seem to just be grasping at straws and hope they arent all short ones like they have been.

LOL thats a good one
I dont think some ppl will ever get it.
The game launched unfinshed - Trying to fix it up afterwards with double speed does not work.
DX10 was supposed to be in the game at launch - If it would have then more time would have gone into other matters. Like content...
And same would have happened if the content would ACTUALLY have been in the game at launch.
We are still at the stage of 5 months ago. Same problems - same things lacking.
That is the fact.
And the Patch was delayed once again. ....
lol
And Mrbloodworth - they are not adding anything. They are yet again TALKING about adding things sometime "soon". You know - there are now 3 months since PVP was supposed to be in. Now they just talk about soon and ppl hope it will happen this year. But most likely it wont.
bla bla bla bla...broken record. I do get it. Your turn.

Very true, though I disagree the DX10 is meant to be the games life saver. Just as a PVP system isn't going to be, neither of these additions fix core issues or fill in missing content.
Though one point here is a bit off, If DX-10 had been a priority during development, given their development speed. There would most likely be less content than there is now.

While DX10 is the single item mentioned on my (non-preorder UK version) box that isn't actually delivered in game at this point, it doesn't prevent the enjoyment of the game as it stands.
(unless of course you're one of the furious lol)
Even with good old DX9 the graphics are superb!
Am I right in thinking that only LoTRO uses DX10 at this time?
I wish they would have waited 6 months and released Jan 09.
I think they would have fared alot better with a much more complete product against War an WOTLK . The game really does have alot to offer if they could get the features they hyped working. And a good working core with the fancy graphics would be apealing to alot of people
bla bla bla bla...broken record. I do get it. Your turn.
Then what is your point? Shut up and stop slamming FUNCOM cause you love them? I mean why did you post here? Of course people are pissed at funcom.... I mean HELLO - DO YOU GET IT?

Lamegate London used DX10, plenty of other non-MMO titles use DX10. QAR at least had half a brain to clearly state that EAX support was taken out of Vista since it created unstable game play. AoC team on the other hand keeps rubbing this DX10 in our face a like new shiny...we already paid for it, it was already shown off in endless PR vomit, why are they hoping to magically have people re-sub because now they are *working* on implemeting it ?
FUNCOM - putting the FUN in disFUNctional !
FC is still using this card? >< they have been using it since before launch. Shame on them for fooling us, and shame on some of those players that are beeing fooled twice :P
So basically your saying Funcom is damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Does it really make any sense at all? People spent months trashing and bashing the game, the company, the developers, the people that enjoyed the game and now that they are fixing all of these issues and adding new content and people are still trashing and bashing the righting of the wrongs.
Funcom is stepping up and fixing issues and adding content that had been missing, they are doing their part, shouldn't we as players do our part by acknowledging they are making a valiant effort to fix things.
What does it matter if they fix things at launch or 6, 7, or 8 months after, atleast they are fixing and adding things. WOW, EQ2 and other mmo's are still adding new content and have yet to fix many 2 year old known issues, doesn't make them any better than AOC imo.
Come on now. You know that's not true.
There were a number of items people were touting as game breakers, and while DX10 was one of them (on the box, not in the game), it was not at the top of that list.
Ever since they announced they'd be adding DX10 in, the reaction has been incredulity that they'd put more importance on improving the graphics than on fixing the game-breaking bugs and adding missing gameplay features people have been discussing since the game's launch.
It's all well and good if you want to adamantly defend FC and AoC, but let's not start revising history here.
and the cash shop selling asphalt..." - Mimzel on F2P/Cash Shops
People who were upset about DX10 weren't upset becauee the lack of DX10 made the game suck. They were upset because FC pulled a fast one and lied to them. I know that doesn't bother a lot of people but some people actually don't like it when they are lied to by a company they have a financial relationship with.
That is in addition to all the other problems, much deeper issues that acutally do cause the game to suck.
So adding DX10 isn't going to mollify a lot people who are mad about the lack of DX10 because it doesn't change that FC lied and adding DX10 isn't going to make the game play better.
FC's hyping of DX10 is exactly that: hype. A shiny coat of paint on a pos game to lure in more suckers.
Gah, I hate to say this but when they release dx-10 I just might resub for a month. That is only if they don't require me to buy an expansion to get it. I am not of fan of AoC at all and have been very critical of the game overall but I have to admit that somewhere deep down that video of the dx-10 and AoC gave me a boner.
Exactly. I wasnt mad at DX10 not being in the game because of DX10; I dont use Vista. Its the principal: It was on the box, but it was not on the disc. Now I know I am going to get flamed but seriously, how can you justify false advertisement on the game box?

Not many people are going to ("justify" it). However, it's an issue that's been beaten to death here, with countless posts and threads to read through, just search through the pages of threads you'll find plenty of discussion on the subject. At this point this issue basically constitutes as spam ( according to the rules here).

Does DX10 actually MEAN anything? A beautifully presented turd is still a turd and tweaking the graphics is not going to do one thing to save this game.
Ahh Funcom what have you done? A superb property like Conan and a load of great ideas and you just pissed it all away by focusing on the bloody graphics seemingly at the expense of everything else.

I won't be going back to AoC for my own reasons because I didn't find the game enjoyable and lack of content and terrible crafting system, I can understand how people feel about the Funcom's False Advertisment.
But honestly people. I mean how many times do you have to go over the same subject about directx10 and how it should of been implemented in the game in the first place? We all already know that. And none of us play the game anymore and I myself have moved onto other games.
The whole false advertizment thing dosn't even bother me anymore and frankly I'm so sick of hearing people post all this whining bs on the forums saying how the game is going to fail and flame at the people who still play the game and actually still enjoy playing it.
I don't play AoC, I don't like the game myself, but please for the life of me. Please stop whining, and move on. No ones going to refund our money and funcom is not going to care one way or the other.
I'm so sick of hearing about AoC and this stupid thing about DX10
At least funcom knows about its mistakes and are trying to do somthing about it. Most companys like SOE dont even give 2 shits about their customers and will never admit their faults.

So I guess AoC and it's missing, broken and rudimentary features should have been called a Demo.
Of course DX10 isn't a high priority for most players.
But it is for funcom, since they had it printed on the game box. So it's quite understandable why they are putting time into this.
Also, the people who are working on the DX10 changes are not the same people who would be working to include more content.
Looking at all the FC hate threads it seems that a huge portion are moaning about lack of DX10 so if nothing else it may give all the naysayers something else to talk about. We still have the low stock thing to lol ( although over in my country we have tv and other forms of media, so can easily see that 90% of anything at the min is falling like a brick )
It's just the same old soe thing ll over again. Hey why dont you all boycott MMORG too for supporting these companys? if you dont you are just helping these games survive.
So I guess AoC and it's missing, broken and rudimentary features should have been called a Demo.
Now the game was only the equivalent of a demo? Lets break this statement down shall we? Let's focus on tortage first.
In the first 20 levels of the game there are close to as many "features" as you will find in just about any game out there. You have multiple quests to take part in, in the daytime portion of the area. You also have two PVP areas to venture into, which also incorporate questing. Then you have the night time single player aspect, to take part in.
You have public raiding very early on, you have pvp, you have group quests, you have solo quests, you have light itemization and you even have PVP bg's. This is all before you even leave tortage and the world opens up.
Once the world opens up, you have a game very similar to EQ2. It's zoned of course, so that's going to turn a lot of people off to begin with. However if we want to look at this from a pure content and feature point of view. It offers a lot, even while missing a good chunk of what was planned. The things that were cut (right before launch) hardly constitute the terms major additions, should they be added. PVP xp, Bar fight's(glorified duels??), Eye candy?....
Siege mechanics, combat, stats and balance need improvement everyone knows this, what game doesn't have issues that need improvement?
I'm never one to ignore the issues this game has, or where funcom comes up short. Yet I'm also not a person who will fail to call out a bs statement when I see one.

It will not. Free update as well as the new content and other things they have been talking about lateley.
