Pets are bugged badly in FFA pvp and seriously needs to be fixed. You can't evade a losing fight and stealth to get away. Instead, caster pets will follow you across the zone endlessly so that the player keeps hitting the search button to break invis. The pets won't break the stealth, but they will be right on top of you as a clear indication to your location.

The brokers need fixing too.

LOL sounds like Vanguard's pets. Bug out on chunklines, but never give up their target... ever.

Im almost 38 on my guard, and the kill shots are starting to get boring already. I have memorized a CA / Combo rotation with one hotbar that does the job. I enjoy this game because it is new, but i still enjoy playing EQ2. I almost feel like im playing street fighter... weird but i expect my guard to say Hyduken!!!

Its just a very very unfinished game atm.

50 Ranger and the fact that almost none of the dungeons past 40 work means that you HAVE to level outside....and that's extremely gay on PVP servers. I mean, we'd all be screaming our heads off if EQ2 launched with no dungeons working past level 50. AoC doesn't get the same scrutiny because we're so focused on trying to find something other than EQ2.

Well, this game isn't it. Warhammer, with a much larger budget and much more experienced Dev team may very well be it, and I hope it is.

This game is just not ready. Its less finished than VG was without the every 30 minute crashes. For those saying there is no lag in this game, and there are quite a few...shut the fuck up. Seriously, are you playing the same game I am? No video lag in most instances, I'll give you that, but the ping spikes over 9k so much that its a running joke in OOC.

Does AoC have potential? Yes, absolutely. Is it an amazing game right now? Not even close. They need to hire a shit ton of devs with all of this money they've made and try their best to focus on making things work correctly, like Blizzard does. You may not enjoy WoW's content (and I sure as hell don't), but most of it works.

Blizz does it right they just fucking take forever.

I'm 55 and I've been leveling exclusively inside Main System, which is a dungeon, which works fine.

As for being less finished than VG, lol @ that. I get no video lag and my ping has never been over 200. I have no idea what these 9k ping spikes you're talking about are.

The more I play it, the more I like it. WAR is still extreme crap in beta as its been since I got into it. Mythic may turn it around but I have no interest in such a PvP centric game where even to PvE raid you have to PvP.

AoC has lots of content, very minimal bugs, devs that are on the ball and patching constantly and oh most importantly: its fun.

Its possible the lag is just Tyranny, but it is definitely horrid on Tyranny.

As for finished, I specifically mean content wise, not bugs. VG had a shit ton of bugs, and AoC has its share. VG had finished content to 50 (other than raids of course), whereas AoC has a lot of shit unfinished, including half the quests not even working.

FFA PvP servers may be worse true because there is only 2? of them I think. I definately know Tyranny and Deathwhisper have some crazy population on them.

I've only found a few quests that are bugged, mainly one in Wild Lands (wounded child) and one in Pyramid (to kill the main boss).

The rest I've completed so far, although a few are buggy in how you have to complete them including one in EM and one in TND.

I think AoC is doing pretty good on content. A solo questline/solo instance line from 1 to 60? is pretty good. A few very good heroic instances, and Main System is a pretty good dungeon from what I've seen. I heard the group content gets even better post 60.

I'm also excited to get our guild city built up so we can start receiving the damage/healing and other bonuses from the buildings you erect and see how the vulnerability of our city affects those bonuses.

Its not perfect at launch, but no MMO is. WoW had growing pains, EQ2 obviously did, AoC does. Its not to be unexpected. However AoC is a very playable and fun game already, and Funcom has been on top of exploiters whether it be gold duping or level bugs. They're also fixing shit that ppl bitch about (chat colors, traders, chat window bugs, small UI tweaks, FPS issues in FoTD/EM, etc).

I'm not hailing AoC the second coming but I think you're being pretty harsh on it.

As you aren't hailing it as the second coming, I too am not trying to knock it overly harsh. I'm playing the game still, so keep that in mind. I do enjoy it, but I think it has a long way to go, and I hope the devs put some serious work into some of these things.

i think they are though, i've seen them make steady progress on things since launch. I dont think they have an immense Dev team and I get the impression the game launch exceeded their own expectations by quite a bit.. and they are trying to keep up.

All in all i cant wait for the next few months as they start to tweak it.
