AOC starting to fade..
AOC has finally started to slow down for me. Actually for about 1-2 weeks now. After failed promise after failed promise I can only state how disappointed I am in the game. I’ll try and list all the faults here.
- The “PVP Patch” was supposed to be here late June or Early July… Umm yea it’s August now
- Class imbalance runs ramped. I have a DT and a POM. The DT is simply a joke and the POM is actually middle of the road which is fine. The DT’s armor and dps are the worst in the game and they can’t actually PVP at all. If I wanted to spend years gathering Gem’s and adding unholy damage to all my gear then they can be viable but I don’t have the time to do so. I am by no means a light gamer as I play 1-2 hours a day, but come on…. I’d rather be sending my time on something fun.
- The developers lack direction. They switches gears on a dime and are constantly making updates to issues that do not matter. Like dressing naked women in the game, seriously? How about fixing the bugs?
- The game is in Beta. The devs continue to make MAJOR, not minor changes to the games dynamic. One example is the recent nerf to gems, that change alone made it nearly impossible to raid with the limited raid content available. People who spent countless hours grinding away are pissed because their once uber armor is now crap. An example: Unholy dmg on a weapon went from 12.0 to .120 how awesome is that?!
- Bugs / Memory leaks – The game is a technical nightmare. I’m in IT and when I get home I don’t want to have to troubleshoot a game to play it.
In summary Funcom = FAIL
P.S. I’ll give you until Sept 18th (The day Warhammer Online comes out, I’ve already preordered)
