Age of Conan

It's been a week since the PVP patch finally launched.  The positives and the negatives of the patch are getting more visiable and questions are beeing asked on quite a few matters.

But now there are no answers from Funcom.  Acording to the famous "weekly" patch schedual - we should be seeing at least a hotfix patch coming to fix the broken PVE content that is now destroying the fun factor of the other half of AOC gamers... the raiders.   

There have been numerious questions on the forums in the past few days and not alot of answers.  It seems like the new "user friendly" gaming director has all of a sudden dissapeared of the face of the ... Forums.

I have to say I did NOT expect anything different.  The problem is systemic in nature and until you drive them out of business by not paying to play, nothing will change.  Even if they have to go on FUMES and push the car, they will remain aloof and distant... This is the culture this coporation has cultivated. FUncom - putting the FU back in FUN since we were founded!

Hope this helps for those truly interested.

BTW, having access to the test forums really helps ;)

Well - its not my fault that the gaming comuntiy is not allowed to read the test forums. 

But Im pretty sure you are supporting the dircection that Funcom has taken in terms of preventing ppl for actually getting information about the game.  Other than "death has never looked so ..."   

Funcom are still trying to hide the facts and hope ppl buy the game - instead of ACTUALLY delivering a good game in the first place.  If they are unable to do that then they should give ppl every opertunity to find out info about the game - anywhere - anytime.

*sigh* Have you heard about NDA for content in development?

And by the way what is your point, AoC has an exelent forum compared to some games that does not have an official forum at all.

Ever heard of WOTLK ?  You know ?  Content in Development that has no NDA and is allowing ppl to see whats going on?

Obviously Funcom has a reason to hide the work of  their incompitent devs.  Do they really think ppl wont know that by now ?

I've heard of it, I think it show they have no confidence in their product, just like they didn't with the game itself never droping the nda properly before launch. Turns out it was because while tortage was great the rest of the game was a huge let down and a collection of broken promises and missed opertunities.

They are probably negotiating with the electric company to keep the server power on at this point. Falling subs and stocks that are flat lining and massive debt doesnt pay the bills very well. Wonder how will give them a loan this time??? lol

You mean the NDA that they never lifted to prevent potential customers from knowing the game a half finished piece of garbage that STILL doesnt have the features on the box? 4months after being released?
