imtrick Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 it's not hard to fix this, just add more mobs. /solved. If you think it's that simple, I'm really glad you're not working on this game. You obviously didn't think this one through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisslanza Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I played AoC on launch and hit max level fairly quickly with my guardian/tank. The game was great looking. Combat was very nice, and a pretty fun PvP experience. But absolutely no end game content for the people who power leveled quickly. You'd just literally run around bored. I think that is what killed AoC. Not enough content. Not to sound like a jerk, but I'm certain when MMO devs make a game, they don't take into account power levelers. They hope that players will take their time, enjoy the game... and probably play a somewhat "healthy" amount of time... 3 or 4 hours I guess. Maybe? I know games recommend you take a 15 minute break every hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett-Rinn Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Then you have problems of overcrowding of mobs. And honestly, at least for me, it annoys me. It's hard to feel like I'm making progress on a quest when it's like "Help us stop the attack by the enemy!" *Kill 10 guys and its done, but there's still 80 more of them around* How did that help at all?! BINGO! I brought up that very thing at SDCC and just got Blank stares. SWTOR is full of the Old Blanchy effect you help someone out and five minutes later that person is standing in the same spot looking for the next guy to help how in the hell is that Immersive? A simple matter of phasing would solve all of that, people would not have to wait for their mob or item and you would actually feel like you helped someone and not just used a vending machine.

PibbyPib Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I love the lack of hordes of mobs in places like Tatooine. And a lot of other places, honestly. It's always annoyed the crap out of me that every MMO looks like a farm, with creatures packed shoulder to shoulder as far as the eye can see. It's stupid.

Theidan Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Phasing and instancing are destroying what it means for a game to be an MMO, because it creates too many bubbles that turn a world into 100's of fishbowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's stupid. you totally miss the point then, they are packed with mobs to avoid the ever killing sharding, but ok, have fun in a mmo single player game. *edit* i dont want people to think im trolling or talking crap about the game, i love starwars as much as anyone, i love the whole concept of this game and id love nothing more for it to become the most successful game made, but and it's just my opinion i want this game to feel massive.

Reecelol Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 You wanna know the difference between AoC and TOR? TOR is actually a good game. considering how bad aoc was thats not saying alot. hell by that comparison my phone is a good game vs aoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiek Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) It's true. I it's like AoC, Bugs including.On Quesh I only had problems and got constantly caught in bug traps, so I couldn't move or shoot. Standing 10m next to a mob and "can't see the target", summoning the guy to steal factory plans (agent bonus line) and he knocks me back, disabling any kind of movement and even locking my camera.Till lvl20 everything was fine. Never felt alone, enought quests around...Once you hit Alderaan, you start to get unhappy: not even 30 quests on the whole planet, lot's of traveling while using a 90% speeder ...it's like crossing the barrens in wow by feet :/ Game started to crash too after 1.0.1, 2-3x in 4 hours.Before I never had a single crash since beta.

Antissa Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Has anyone played that? I joined at launch and the voice acting an cut scenes in that were a great novelty at first but got tiresome the 3rd or 4th time around, even mashing buttons to bypass the conversations was tiresome. It was the same with Tortage, where you were forced to run the same area over and over again and listen to the same dialogue over and over again each time you wanted to create an alt. The game had a large launch but very soon, players released what little depth the game actually had and started the mass exodus until it is now Free to Play. Bioware have used the same kind of model, except, the dialogue is applied to the whole game! I've been playing for only 8 days and have a level 40 assassin and a level 10 commando; and I'm already space barring the dialogue because it's all very samey, repetitive, guises and worded slightly different but not enough to remain interesting. I've become tired of the levelling process because it's all the same yet the higher I get in level the more travelling I have to do just to complete one quest; it's not so bad but the amount of loading screens and the time it takes to load these areas is boresome. Crafting isn't very interactive as I just send crew off to gather and craft and I just wait. PvP has been good fun but the battle for alderan is extremely laggy, the other defend attack map is extremely buggy so I only enjoy huttball, but the loading times in and out of the pvp zones are dire. All in all I seem to be doing nothing but waiting, waiting for loading screen after loading screen which gets worse the higher level you get because of more travelling. I loved this game at first, I didn't play Beta, but after only 8 days I'm bored it doesn't bode well for the future. This games entire future isnt based on your induvidual boredom. And Modern Warfare 3 is the new Doom, we heard it all before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know games recommend you take a 15 minute break every hour... being slow and paying for it is the equivalent of having a gym membership and not going. you may be okay with paying $15 a month for little to nothing, i prefer getting something for my money. Ive got 8-9 days played, level 45 now with no dialogue skipped, all professions at 400 and enough money to buy the 3rd rank for pilot at 50 as well as whatever bikes. If it wasnt for the class story line, i would've lost interest by now. I expect that to happen once im done next week sometime. I may start an alt just for the sake of playing the full 30 days but im probably gonna cancel, leave and come back in 2-3 months time. No need to pay to not play.

hulduet Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Age of Conan had/has a lot of critical issues. Not only is the game insanely boring but it feels like you're inside a box when playing. I guess the only good thing about conan was that it didn't have any ability lag. Forgot to add Warhammer has the same "box" feeling to it. While swtor has the same problem... it's nowhere near as bad. Instances, loading etc, it really destroys the immersion of a mmo. When will they learn. The days of daoc/wow seamless worlds seems long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid £40 British pounds for this game, you really think I want this game to be another generic MMO failure? I'm not saying this game is going to be the most successful MMO of all time, or that it won't die after the first month, because it is impossible to know these things. But if we solely base a game's aptitude off of its general discussion on a forum: WoW would have "died" about one thousand times for a thousand different reasons. Skyrim would be the worst single player RPG of all time. MWF 3 would be complete **** compared to BF 3, while at the same time (somehow), BF 3 would be complete **** compared to MWF 3. Ect, ect...Until you're bored of typing. Edited December 31, 2011 by Jaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theidan Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Forums are a good temperature gauge of how healthy a game is if you understand it objectively. I was playing SWG during the introduction of the NGE and the CU an the forum community was the voice SOE should have listened to, but they didnt and they regretted it. That was THE greatest movement of players against developers that had ever happened in all of gaming history, so much so, even broad sheet newspapers were reporting on it. Fellow players and the developers should head the general consensus of forum content or ignore it at their detriment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I understand what you're saying, you should listen to the complaints of your customers. But a rage filled forum during an MMO release (and beyond) is as normal as apple pie. The only thing it indicates is that your MMO is not perfect, like them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
