What an epic thread.  Some good posters in there that brought the main issues to the forefront.  More sidestepping from Funcom though.

It's like watching a Greek tragedy.

Solution for Funcom now:

a) Blame the playerbase for the failure of AOC

b) Spin it so Erling tried to reach out and was rebutted by a "vocal minority" of "trolls and haters"

c) Continue trying to lure more people to buy the game with vague promises and outright lies

 

Yep as I said earlier in this thread that is definitely why they did this , Now they can say they reached out and blame the players for it not being productive enough . The next step will be just that , they are following the SOE playbook to the T.

Nope, they've been doing that since Anarchy Online beta. If anything, SOE learned from them.

Don't have sigs with a cheerleaders butt swinging in it, or the prudes in the Age of Conan forum section of mmorpg.com will demand the mods have it removed.

Quote:
you can argue the pvp fugative system is new but not the rest of the pvp update, pvp xp, pvp lvls, pvp gear, pvp feats was all meant to be in for launch and it was all described as being in the game in previous interviews.

Some things were planned for launch others were not. In the interview I was primarily talking about the PvP fugitive system.



Quote:
PVE seigeing, the NPC's building a city and seiging our citys.

We made it clear prior to launch that so-called hiving was cut, and our explanation was that it was simply not working good enough in practice as on paper, and that's why it was cut. It might resurface later, of course. This is something we did mention numerous times prior to launch.

 


 

That second quote and answer made me laugh.

I followed the game for a few months before launch, and also tested it.

Never once have I heard it was cut. Never once did they said the PvP levels, xp, wasn't meant for launch.

It is misleading when you have a video of those features implemented, but they aren't in at launch.

This whole situation is seriously getting out of hand for Funcom, im shocked how a big company like Funcom can go this low.

At this point I can only assume they have started some sort of company self destruction sequence or the people in charge are mentally handicapped.

Legen.... wait for it.... dary!

I believe they are very desperate now, can't think probably and willing to give anything a try just to save themselves. Never did they  anticipate the furious  backlash of the players when he come to the forum... lol

BTW are they due to give a financial report soon?
