• • Funcom: Staffing Cuts Won’t Affect ‘Age of Conan,’ Xbox 360 Version Still in Development

    And I doubt you will ever see such an apology.

    Avery's credibility and objectivity are non-existing as witnessed by his numerous posts, ressembling the work of a FC viral-marketing mouthpiece more than anything else. People whom frequent this forum knows this unless blinded by innate fanboyism. I'd have thought MMORPG had higher standards appointing their game correspondents.

    It is indeed very unfortunate as he, by carrying the title of correspondent, inherently gain the status of a person with some kind of authority on the matters he speaks of. And as such we'd expect to get fair and unbiased news concerning AoC but In return we receive spins and biased posts from our dear AoC 'Correspondent'.

    Wether Averys' work as a correspondent (or lack thereof) is tolerated by MMORPG due to the fact that AoC frequently advertise on this site is unknown. But it is indeed very problematic - how anyone can take him seriously is beyond me.

    
     

    Just because I have a different opinion to you makes everything wrong? This is a news story posted everywhere that posts AoC news stories, The MTV blog has been cited several times in news articles and the title and quote are with in the RoC here. I am allowed to express my own opinons on these boards with or without title.

    And no you will never see an apology from me for something I haven't done wrong with. This is the news of that day - digest it.

    So, in general, as a whole the game is improving and I think most of us playing the game are well aware of this as it shows in the results. Be interesting to see where this game stands in another 3 months. Can it continue to improve or will it take a step back in some regards?

    
     

    I think with what is happening now (server merges) coupled with new content updates on the horizon with DX10 on test servers imminent will certainly make for interesting times. I always hear how the game has huge potential, with implementation to start being pretty flawed and I agree with this.  My sentiments on the state of the game are pretty much in line with the populous from the survey too. I feel the majority of people who play the game can give a better idea of it's current state than those that left a while back. This same populous is also across the board feeling things are getting better all around pretty much.

    I think FC's short term Roadmap presented should help to alleviate those disappointing area in to more of an "Average" or "Good" result if their implementation has been as good as the past few months worth.

    Ok Avery then if your gonna get upset here then lets take a look at what you posted. If what you say is true then what are you doing posting a board game here. This is a forum discussion on MMO's not that i wanna call alot of attention but your a fanboi in the biggest way with Funcom.

    
     

    Ok what you fail to realise is that there are people here that play the game and enjoy the lore from which said board game is based off. Mmorpg's also have origins from muds which were originally based on rule sets of said board games. Why do people talk about WAR 40k lore, WoW trading cards? It's linked in with everything. But you tell me whats the point of posting stuff that is not just constructive to the topic? here is an answer for you A) just out to take a jibe at me. B) your grief with a video game from so long a go (this board game has nothing to do with Funcom or it's stocks)

    So what kind of mindset is that. Bitter and grief stricken? alright that may be. I can respectfully acknowledge that view point, so how about you show the same courtesy to myself and those that like the lore instead of an attempt to fire up the fans with post by people, like the first few posting here?

    This about the lore of the game, from which I have had many MANY interesting talks about on these forums, around which some of the game is based and here we have (edit: Nexus) professionals in the business bringing a board game based on that lore to those interested.

    But name calling, insinuations is all ok, right? Like I said whats the point..

    If you lot can't bring anything decent to the table then do the rest of us a favour and don't bother. Someone want to tell the bright sparks above that the word Funcom does not appear anywhere..
