AmazingAvery: My Changed View about AoC

Member UncommonPosts: 403
I would just like to give a shout-out to AmazingAvery for being so vigilant on these boards and bringing back hoards of players through intelligent rebuttals and his posts endorsing the revamped game. I recently came back a month ago and I am absolutely in love with the game. Robert E. Howard is probably the only fantasy author who has written tales that speak so strongly to human nature and the true darkness that lies within. That results in an insatiable fascination with Conan lore. Funcom has accurately depicted that in this game.
I have come from every mmo imaginable from Asheron's Call to Second Life beta (it was soooo badass back then) to WoW to EQ2 to Darkfall to Poxnora to Age of Conan. I have a varied experience with the genre and have been upset with the lack of depth in the recent games. I played AoC after release (being a Conan nerd) and I hated it. It was unplayable and i felt inferior because of my lackluster Vaio. Well now I have the new macbook pro and i loaded up bootcamp and have Windows 7 and I have to say that I am very pleased with the performance. It's like playing a completely different game.
Anyway, to make this shorter than longer, TRY the game and don't listen to naysayers who haven't played in a while. If you are a naysayer, please come back and try the changed game. The only barrier is the fact that this game is freaking huge.
so thanks again amazingavery! You ended my mmo dehydration.

for our info, could you tell us what level you got to before?
Just when you think you have all the answers, I change the questions.
Damn! Now where did I put that Age of Crap coaster? If the box is a doorstop then.....
Are there any Mac emulators for my Quad core VAIO to run MAC apps?
Buy cheaper coasters. Thats if the table you use is more expensive.
This will look good on his resume.
i tried another AoC trial after the big patch....
DX10 wouldn't even work without me rolling back my drivers, which i am not about to do...as for everything else....i looked exactly the same and still played the same....
You sir are suffering the side effects of good memory syndrome. In truth the game is now completely different. The servers are packed, PVP is meaningful, end game a blessing and instancing was abolished three patches ago.

Never argue with idiots. They are immune to logic.
First time around with buggy/half-complete game:
High enough to experience much of the game and low enough to not be a fanatic player attempting to find fun in a game that is clearly lacking it.
I deleted my old character and restarted after trying the trial to allow myself to experience it completely from a new viewpoint.

Instancing was abolished? Look, dude, if you want to propagate lies, do it somewhere else. AoC doesn't need any more false prophets, please.
Zoning and instancing are different. There are not multiple zones of the same area (Tarantia 1, Tarantia 2, Tarantia 3).
That is instancing
Zoning is having a loading screen between areas. They are completely different things but commonly mistaken.

So when you weren't at 80 you heard that level 80 experience as lacking?
hehe those of us who got to 80 were glad to provide you with that info lol

I think it was supposed to be a joke
On topic, yes ppl shouldn't listen to the obsessive 1000+ anti-aoc-post-doomsayers but should try for themselves
But listen to the guy who has 5,500 posts about Age of Conan, might wanna re-think who are you label 'obsessive'.

yes considering where am i, since i am on a "Age of Conan" forum, im more likely to listen to someone who actually plays the game and laud it rather than someone who does not play the game, hate it, but still spending the better part of his days on its forums bashing it which is kind of spooky.
the fan boy i can understand, he wants people to try his fav game using a FREE trial because he is confident they are gonna like it and stick with it.
but the hater i can not digest, what is he so afraid of? if he is so confident that the game stinks that bad, then why spend all this time and energy preventing people from using a FREE trial? cause if he is right, people will just use the trial, have a good laugh and leave right after they discover how "useless" that game is, unless he thinks everybody else is not as smart as he is and nobody can reach that ultimate truth but himself...

If you're gonna post on the forums, you need to learn to recognize sarcasm when you see it.

Umm, having nearly a 1000 posts about a game that you have not played in a long time is obsessive. [Mod Edit] There is a time to let go.
For example, I was very disappointed by WAR after buying copies for a couple of friends. Life moves on. Check my posts about WAR in the WAR forums. You will not find many and none in the last few months. I prefer to look forward in life.
When you fabricate 'information' to make your point, it shows you don't really have one.
Using imaginary claims to Flame people is also pretty sad, it shouldn't be too hard to flame people using only the truth.
I will ignore almost all discussion.
So the game is better now? how is sieges going? what are people doing at 80 in pvp? still is keshata prettyt much the only pvp map? has ben keshata recreated to be a better pvp map?
I am curious. I hate Funcom, but not really the game. The game was fun for lot of levels, till it stoped to be fun.
I left because of one reason, they reduced boob size. Is this fixed yet?

Okay, you have 42 and half pages of negative comments about AoC. That is 840+ negative comments about AoC.
I admit I was wrong about the account because your comment about Brad McQuad definitely predated AoC. Your account is also missing nearly 90 posts (most likely deleted).
And females doing less damage, has that been fixed?

The females doing less damage has been fixed. That was a horrible, horrible mistake on Funcom's part.

Nice going with the back-pedal edit, did you remove that flame because you found the source of my McQuaid comment and was not 'made by a sick person wishing harm on others'?
Maybe that mis-step can teach you to check posting histories more carefully, I think you'll find very few of my entries actually criticize the Age of Conan game. And I think you won't find a single post telling anyone not to play it. All your basis for slandering others seems to come from your imagination.
