I've given it a 31 day go and enjoyed about half of it at most. The game starts out pretty damn good, but that's where it ends. Once you're level30ish the game drops off a cliff.

Content becomes non-existant. Every character you make.. experiences the same newbie shit over and over. We're talking starting on EQ2 newbie island for every character all the time no matter what kind of gameplay.

They nerfed instances so even if you're 30 levels above the mob. They still kick your ass.

Performance is getting worse with every patch.

Servers are lagging out and crashing daily.

The company is keeping customers and investors in the absolute dark. By this I mean they won't talk to us AND guess what -NDA- on the fucking test server! THE TEST SERVER! NDA! ON A GAME THAT'S -LIVE-!

They are nerfing classes left and right instead of fixing the 500 memory leaks.

The BASICS (I mean stats, skills, etc) didn't even work on release and halfass work atm.

The crafting system is worse then WOW.. yes it's that simplified.. to boot it's the buggiest thing in the game probably.

PVP is more lag tastic then you could imagine regardless of how powerful your system is.

Castle vs Castle is bugged to hell. You can literally walk right through the castle walls. Ok? No body tested this before release.. right..

Funcom stock has fallen through the floor sense AoC release.. it's almost as bad as if AoC never released.. investors are pulling out.

This game is fail in a hand basket.

To be on a postivie note. The combat is really fun and fast paced, but a game needs more then just combat.. and AoC fails at everything else.

I'll give it another try later mid-july as they're already billed me for 30 days, but this shit isn't looking good.

I did their job for them and fixed the game. Here's how:

Personally, I think the game sucks until 50 or so.


Again, the game sucks to start, imo. Tortage was a horrid idea. They need to get rid of it all together or make it 4x faster so people aren't tortured through it.

WTF game are you playing? I go destroy epic instances just 15 levels lower than me.

They had 1 absolutely horrid patch. Since then, there have been a few great patches that have made the game much more stable. They wised up and stopped rushing shit out the door.

Instances closing =! server crashing. In fact, I just experienced my first server crash today. 5 minutes after it happened, the Producer posted an update in the forums saying they are on top of it and will keep us updated.

You an investor? You have any idea what they release to them? I mean, I read the shit on finance.yahoo.com, and quite honestly, its got more of a roadmap than EQ2 does 4 years after release. NDA on test is odd, granted, but it is much better than all the bullshit whining about stuff that isn't even live and may never be live.

I've seen 1 class "nerfed": Barbs. And it was actually a fix. They are still way overpowered. Many many other classes have been buffed to hell.

Yup...this shit was and still is amazingly gay. Evade from 360 degrees? While stunned? Feared? Knocked on your ass? Bullshit.

I don't craft. Crafting in an MMO is for fags and chicks.

Only the Battlekeep system is like this, and its getting a major fix here very soon. Otherwise, PVP is a blast.

See above.

You're an idiot. Funcom Friday closed near a 3 month and 52 week high. Its still nearly 4x more valuable than 1 year ago. This comment came straight from your ass.

That is yet to be seen. We'll have to see how the next few patches are and how good re-ups are.

No game needs players like you, so yes, you fixed it. Now continue to fix other MMOs by just staying away. Oh, and learn how to read a stock chart.

It sucks even more past 30, but I've got a level56 and a level55. I couldn't do it anymore.. the grind becomes horrible.

Tortage was a horrible idea, but the story is still interesting THE FIRST TIME, lol.

Have you played recently? Elite mobs have been changed. If you're even 30 levels higher then them... they'll destroy you.

Wised up and stopped rushing? Oh you mean last weeks skipped thursday patch because they wanted to bait people to subscriber for their miracle patch on monday.. gotcha

Keep us updated? They can inform us of crashes because there is no avoiding them, but they can't keep us updated on anything else, because they can avoid them.. Wow.. I didn't know I needed to be updated on the login/characer servers not working.. Figured that out when I couldn't login.. they're smart.

No I'm not a big investor.

I've talked to investors though and they're pulling out. A few are staying in hopes for 360 launch giving them their moneys worth.. as is a few are going to take a loss if they pull out now, which is why they're waiting for 360 launch.

You're blind as fuck if you think they nerfed 1 class.. They nerfed the god damn least played class. DT... the nerfs continue to roll in for classes that don't deserve them.

Sad when a game can't even release with the necessities working.

Crafting is an important part of the community especially when the develops boast it being better then most dropped gear.

A blast? Pvp servers is a JOKE. Mini-games are never played. Battlekeeps are a pile of shit. The feel I get.. is they never tested ANY of it.

Let me guess.. Yahoo finances based on Funcom OL? Funcom NV is what I based all my information off. FFS I can't even find Funcom OL on any stock site other then yahoo. I'm starting to think it's incorrect.

Yet to be seen? It's been a fucking month and the baisc are JUST NOW -STARTING- to work. THE BASICS.. -BASICS-

If that isn't fail then I don't know WTF is.

Really? So me acting like a customer instead of funcoms bitch is bad. Alright. Bend the fuck over as they screw you in the ass. Enjoy.

I don't feel like commenting on everything here, but...
THE GRIND? Are you fucking kidding me? Go play EQ or FFXI if you want to know what a grind is. At level 55 you can fucking do quests up to around 80% exp and then run a villa and ding in another 30 minutes. In fact, 1-55 you can get doing nothing but quests.

Boohoo, I can't do nothing but solo quest the last 25 levels in the game. The grind is horrible!

I'm finding it hard to believe you really did ever play the game.

EDIT: And wait, you're calling battlekeeps a pile of shit yet your highest character is level 56? Damn, at least try stuff yourself before writing it off as shit.

I consider it a grind when you have to complete an entire level using the same repeatable quest. That's not exactly encouraging

There's more problems then can be listed. The game is in trouble and will check it out after a few more patches. I hope they can pull it through as its potential is huge, but the constant crashing, bugs, etc.. is very discouraging.

Good thing you never have to do that, especially not at merely level 56!

Um yes you do. Starting at level52. You have to do it for 3 levels. Then you need to be REALLY lucky to get a group that can complete Tombs without a death (no res point.. and it respawns fast).

THEN you need to be lucky to get a group that can even survive cistern and main system. (AHHA GOOD LUCK!)

THEN you are back on track with quests.. for about 2 levels. Then it's grind again.

I got my guardian to level 55 doing nothing but solo quests. Each villa only done once, each wanted poster only done once. No grinding. In fact, going from memory, I first went into Eigolphian Mountains at 52.

55-60 you are a bit short on quests aside from group ones, but after that you're right back up with Thunder River and Atzels.

It's actually pretty sad how LITTLE grinding is necessary in AoC.

If you did every repeatable only one time that's enough for about 3/4 a level.

You can make it to 52 using FOTD -IF- you did EVERY low level quest (which I did in every zone before FOTD.. except crafter quests). Then with the few quests in the next zone you'll get about 53 before they're to hard or you're to low. Now it's time for instances.. everything rides on getting a group at this point.

I'm not sure how you've done it, but with 2 characters and plenty of friends confirmed the same damn thing. Content is missing. Even funcom is designing a new zone for said missing content. Stop being oblivious to the problem.

I understand you're trying to be as positive as possible, but what you're saying is false.

You may have obtained those levels before the elite mob change, which at that time there was A LOT more grouping going on. Now if you take a higher level into an instance with you.. every gets romped HARD. So grouping has died down quite a bit.

I'm not saying people shouldn't play the game, but I'm saying expect the worse and you can't be disappointed as that's likely what the game will do. It needed 2-3 more months of beta and they're getting it. Paid beta. Don't say it's like other releases because it's not. Let me remind you that not even the basics are functional.. and how that got past testing is beyond me..
