Age of Conan

Classic response from a fanboi who didn't even bother checking to see if it was true before mouthing off on it .

"i'm sorry but this is a clear troll post please lock it... theres nothing from AO in AOC... that is why there are not screenshots.. yes i logged on to check this and it is false.. just another troll.. nothing to see here lets get back to playing"

Proof that fanboi's are just as bad (if not worse) than haters.

Thats nothing aoc uses the modified ao graphics engine. The dreamworld engine they did a great job updating it and eliminating all the flaws of ao lol.

LMFAO! ShieldNanoAC, are you freakin kidding me?? Funcom is a joke, and the punchline just keeps getting better.

I wonder how my Nanomancer, err Necro.. is

This is almost a complete sham if they didn't even build AoC from the ground up . I feel very good now that I didn't wait for the game and chose a different , polished and professionally produced title.

Kind of fitting the game is on Eidos, cause most of the title Eidos picks up are lower then mediocre.

I'm mad I spent money on this game. Good thing I canceled the game after 2 weeks. Never again will Funcom get my $$

Don't see what all the fuss is about quite frankly.  It's all just algorithms - why can't they re-use aspects of AO; I think the graphics are a development of AO's graphics - great, why not?

I mean, sure it's sloppy in the sense that the AO terms linger on in the code somewhere, but whether the presence of those old terms means automatically that the game must be bad is another question.

AO is a classic MMO whether one likes it or not.  It's lasted a good long time, and it has some great gameplay that's kept players entertained fora long time.

It would be no surprise at all if FC reused some of the ideas from their previous MMO.

well said guru, of course it makes sense to use some of the same code, most software houses do this

a guess the moot point is the system they described/marketed before game release was not the one they have elbowed in now

I received a survey from Funcom, they seem to need help.
About time they asked to customers, although I cancelled, was too late to stop the first bill though.
Will they listen to their cries? Will they screw up again?
In time we will see.

That's not the point.

The point is if you are using code from a game that actually works now... and have 5 years to mold it to your new project.  The crap should more or less work out of the box.

Instead of a company running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

At least from my perspective.. using pre-existing code should be something you do to:

1) shorten development time

2) You already know how it works (goes back to 1) and should cause less issues later.

That to me is the point...

So one has to wonder if this was the way it always was.. or if they tried to do this instead in order to hit a street date.

I didn't buy AoC so that I could be unhappy and crap on it on a forum.  I paid the money I did hoping for an enjoyable game.  I actually enjoyed AO at launch (yes I might be the only one!!).

People pay 50 dollars for professional quality software. I just am not see anything professional abou tthis game besides it's marketing and packaging..
