For the love of Bob STFU about Aion

[Trul]

I don't care about how great the closed beta server's performance is. All this means is that NCSoft's marketing department gave some advice and someone may have listened and possibly rented a better than normal server to gather hype. But better performance doesn't mean jack right now because of the fact that the population of the server is so low and dispersed that you will never find anything comparable to a city siege or a fort siege in WAR.

There is a rather large group of people who are providing misleading information about Aion and WAR, making Aion appear more appealing than it will be. Aion is still in closed freaking beta. The developer, NCSoft, has never had a big thing outside of South Korea and has relied heavily on a revenue stream directly from farmers. The graphics and storyline are unappealing. The pvp reward system is incredibly vulnerable to gankers and griefers, since you gain "rps" from killing people and lose "rps" from dying to other people. All of these traits are classic NCSoft "capabilities."

Yes WAR has its flaws, but if something is bugged report it and provide feedback, don't complain about ever little thing. Guess what the Dev's are listening. The latest nerf patch got rid of BW bomb groups. No, you probably didn't like how they did it, but it worked. Most of the complainers out there are going to whine no matter what gets changed, unless their class gets god mode.

In conclusion, STFU about Aion. If you want to play it go right ahead, but make sure you leave WAR now because I don't want to hear your bitching. I already get enough of that from my gf.

I don't know who wee'd in your coffee this morning, but it might be helpful for you to take a few minutes and calm down a bit. You blew your stack in guild chat at me for being upset about a bug, and then yelled at me to "enjoy Aion, it's going to suck", when I have stated in a couple threads now it's not a game I'm interested in.

Yes, WAR is better since this last patch. Yet there are a things that have broken for some time and Mythic is either inable, or incapable, of fixing them. Same result either way.

It's not unreasonable for folks to look towards the future after giving Mythic a year to iron things out. It's not unreasonable to discuss it here, since we all started in DAOC together and generally enjoy playing together. Some of us on this board were former enemies in DAOC.

If Aion is as horrible as you state, then people will naturally flow back here or to another place. Making them feel unwelcome will hinder people that do flow back, from flowing here. They may take the opportunity to flow to a less hostile environment. For a lot of us here, playing with the guild is as important as what game it is. Making guildies feel unwelcome wether in guild chat, or on these boards, will do more to destroy this group of friends than any whining or game hopping could.


edit: and to be fair, i been whining too much lately. pee in my coffee too it seems

Sorry your gf bitches at you........wonder why that is.....:P

yes its a joke......relax tiger.

There will always be people that latch onto a game and promote it beyond all reason - WAR had them too. I probably even talked it up too much to my friends and glossed over or explained away the flaws after being in the beta for over a year because I wanted it to be awesome. I wanted my friends to play it with me and I was bitter about WoW.

Aion may not turn out as fun as I think it will. The opening will be large no matter what at this point, but it could flop quickly after that. It could be ridiculously huge and I could play it longer than I've played any other MMO. We just don't know yet. I provide information that is factual (to my knowledge) or my opinion, where appropriate. I will not act in the fanboyish way I did for WAR because that doesn't help.

Aion isn't perfect and definitely doesn't/won't appeal to everyone, but that isn't a reason to not discuss it.

The simple fact is that I am finding the time I've been able to spend in Aion more enjoyable than WAR in its current state. I love Warhammer. I've always been a big fan of Mythic. I'd love to play WAR for years, but I learned during my time in WoW that it's only worth playing something you are enjoying (no matter the reason) and right now I'm not enjoying WAR.

last patch made BW bomb grps stronger.. so your wrong about that...lets see what esle you are wrong about...

secondly, Aion has been in release for over a year in asia... so I don't know what you THINK you know, but the "beta" here is basicly testing the translations and a new patch for the Asian markets

the beta here is a pre-view of the game for everyone, this isn't like Mythic's beta, and it is working

and WOW.. what a CONCPET... getting things for ganking people in a pvp game.. you know... like some game a lot of us played.... damn what was that called?

Daoc

NCsoft also made guildwars and CoH/CoV for american markets... I wouldn't call those failures


next time you decide to rant, don't

[Knight_Marshal]

Who is Bob? Is that your 'gf'? (Not that I am judging. Whatever floats your boat)

If not, then does your gf know about your love of Bob?

People talk about new games. Especially when they are dissatisfied with their current game. If they think the new game is good enough or the old game has become bad enough, the talk increases. Then it stops as people move to the new game.

Until it starts again there.

[Sethial]

I hate Bob, therefore have no reason to stop talking about Aion.

Of course I haven't been, but I should start now.

[Aoann]

Bob. He is a good guy.

Whoever moved this thread is an arsenugget.

(I am laughing to myself right now)

[Fhuul]

Good idea to get this stuff out into its own little area though. Keeps it from the eyes of those who don't wanna see it, but allows those that are interested to still discuss and coordinate.
