    wow just wow

    everyone who has been thrashtalking about aoc falls over some obvious sarcastic comments.. wow

     

    Sarcastic comments from a site writer. Not only that you may want to take note with my huge post count I most likely do not spend time bashing any game. I only come here to read. It is quite odd to have a staff writer making trolling comments.

  • just a side note.

    atypical means abnormal, not common or normal.

    The comments I made are A-Typical responses of the majority of people that post here, it was posted sarcastically on a level that those types of posters can appreciate. I can almost guarentee that if I didnt say those comments they would be posted.

     

    I am incredibly disappointed that not only is a correspondent being sarcastic and talking down to those of us who still read these forums, but that he is also not able to spell check, I mean seriously.

    I do not read the content at MMORPG to have the writers talk down to me. You should be ashamed, not only that your lack of professionalism and inability to deal with your customer base in a mature and proper way should leave you searching for a new gig.

• • Should we blame the Alpha\Beta Testers?

  • I seriously wish I could give you guys my log in and PW to the beta forums.

     

    You would see that in the six months I was around I put in 120 journal entries only two of which were ever commented back to, most dealt with bugs, glitches, invisible walls, odd animations, stick points, horrible chat interface and how to fix it. Basically every comment I made back in december through May went unanswered. I put in 50 in game petitions during beta ... canned response of "we already know about that and are working to fix it"

     

    That said the game went from a completely unplayable pile of crap to an okay game that I wasn't going to bother paying for at the end of beta (as many others did not either) because funcom in general failed to listen to any of us. I often wondered why they even bothered with beta when they did what they wanted and seldom communicated beyond very uninformative posts. If enough people cried for instance when they reduced Sieges (which we never got to test) form 200 to 40vs40 ... well they just pretended those complaints didn't exist.

    At any rate, this beta was not indicative of how beta's normally run, it was pretty much a joke in the end comprised mostly of probobly 80% of the people testing the game in effort to make a better game to play later on 20% jerkoffs who were just playing and 100% of the devs doing whatever the felt like and pretty much ignoring our input.

     

    Blame beta testers? I think not, blame half baked development teams using hype machines to take your money. Demand more ... quit paying for tripe. Oh and MMORPG can I have my original account back now that everything I said on here in beta turned out to be true?

• • Testlive server, let me see if I understand right...

    Since launch most patches sent live were barely tested if tested at all and this created many issues after each patch.

    Funcom decides to launch a Testlive server for the general public to help test out whatever new changes are being made.

    Small problem, nobody knows what to test. Why, you might ask?

    The patch notes are only being posted on the "closed beta" forums and those folks are still under and NDA?!?!?

    Starting to think Funcom may actually be worse the SOE...

     

     

    
    

    Seriously man,

    There has not been crap on the AOC closed beta forums in forever either.

    They have not told the memebers there what to test in ... well since the first week the game came out.

    add to that the fact there were only about fourty of us actually still testing at all ...

    you ask if Funcom is worse than SOE ... well Funcom doesn't hold a cloth hat to SOE.

     

    anyway I cant say I actually have access to those forums or anything because of the NDA, but I can say if I had just been there the place might be a ghost town, and there might not be crap as far as patch notes go for oh say the last eight weeks.

     

    At any rate ...

    After a year and a few months with the game I never found anything that I really liked about it after the big changes and class mashes.
