Lol. Another crack at a failed Conan attempt by funcom? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Or as George w once said, fool me once....er...er a fool can't be fooled again!
I'm not giving that company a dime after the way they botched AoC.
Funcom is easy to hate but lets face it, if it has even minor appeal to Skyrim players, its going to be success, what Conan game naturally should have.Edited by Sausage on March 15, 2016 9:21AM0 -

Utter crap? The only real footage has been the alpha footage. The game will have good graphics once it's complete. What is the hype? Because it has an rvr combat engine developed from scratch unlike eso that used a modified hero engine and that's probably why we have lag. Hero can't handle all the projectiles, animations, and load. Cu also has player housing using voxle like technology. it's also pure pvp. No linear questing like cadwells silver and gold. Cu also has more races to choose from and its sandbox.
I and I forgot to mention it has spell crafting.Edited by LegacyDM on March 15, 2016 9:27AMLegacy of Kain

It looks crap because all the videos/most pictures you have seen is from the Alpha version. It's not even in beta yet (and I can assure you it looks already much better). Also, what's the point of fancy graphics when all you do is have lag and fps issues...Lairgren | DC Dragonknight - August Palatine

✭✭✭✭✭I'm going to go ahead and stay here.
The fact that you have to pay for more than one character in Camelot: Unchained has kind of soured that for me. Plus, how long has it been in development now? Kickstarters for MMO's seem a little tasteless to me, as you're never guaranteed to see a final product.
The Division is quite fun in a pick up and play and put down again kind of way. No kind of serious playing.

But I have played since beta and the amount of support and effort to ensure the game works properly is the worst I have ever seen. I mean I am currently on the forums simply because I just crashed for the 5th time in the last 30 minutes..... I have seen the load screen more than I have the game tonight. And this is not the first time something so frustrating has happened. I wish I could stay but I also wish I could play.
I know! I had 3 DC's and 2 Blue Screens in less than 20 minutes last night and this was right in the middle of an epic Keep battle! After the third time logging back in to be immediately kicked again I almost rage quit myself. What the hell is ZOS doing when every damn patch makes the game preform worse than before? I love this game but this crap will drive even the most diehard of the Lore-lovers away for good if it continues.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭You should all go play EVE Online, expand your horizons.
I am serious as well, go play EVE and join some PvP groups (real ones not HiSec griefing corps). The things you will learn in that game will make you a better player, teamplayer and teach you patience. It should be tried by every serious PvP gamer.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

✭For me there is none, I am here, only game I want to check out is CU, invested and waiting on beta, but for me at this time the options are limited and the game are all just rehashes of something else, I am still having fun here even with all the problems and CU is so far off, by then maybe I will be salty enough to leave. I don't leave a game on the whim of some streamer, I make up my own mind and move on when I am ready.Edited by kevlarto_ESO on March 15, 2016 10:46AM3 -

✭✭✭✭I would kill for some WoW arena right about now - but I will not support a sub model MMO ever again. Never mind a buy to play sub model with a cash shop.
Didn't GW2 pull of their WvWvW rather well? I don't remember any lag at all...
Yes. They still have some lag issues but nothing like what we have here. I sort of alternate between the two games and every time i go back to gw2 i end up laughing at myself because i thought their game was laggy until ESO taught me what real lag was like.
Of course they suffer from the same thing all large scale pvp suffers from, some classes are strong some weaker. And some interesting design choices as well.
And their wvw is quicker? not the actual fighting but once you learn your way around you can usually get to most places on the map very quickly. No Horse riding simulaton. Which has its good points and its bad.Edited by vyndral13preub18_ESO on March 15, 2016 11:05AM0 -

This.
Blizzard should release Arena as a standalone game, I think they'd make bank. All I want is a class and cooldown based arena game with a ladder system. That must be cheap as hell to make
EDIT: Also, I knew I would hate massive scale pvp going into ESO. After playing it a lot, I do hate it. People complain about the zerging, but you knew what you were getting into. It's impossible to have massive scale pvp and also have a focus on individual skill.Edited by Huggalump on March 15, 2016 11:12AM0 -

GW2 was good in some ways. But a few key issues made me hate pvp.
VERY small maps (and bad, half of it was a giant lake) And very limited small scale combat due to it.
Underwater combat really didn't work..
Could see giant name tags from miles away, even if hiding behind something (good way to get zerged ALOT)
Run 15 seconds to nearest guard, pretty much everywhere on the map. When I pvp I don't want NPC's all over.
There was probably other issues that I don't remember.0 -

✭Until another game comes out that is using the cyrodiil/frontiers format of 3-way pvp(and does it better), i'm not going anywhere.
I kind of agree, I hope 3-way become the standard, people can hate Cyrodil all they want but at least theres action 24/7, for example, in 2-way PVP, if one side start winning, other side stop playing. Sure its not perfect here either, but they could try to make siege weapons scaleable to the population or then fix Campaing pop by adding somekind of Mercenary system, high pop alliances can choose to join to low pop for some reward.
Considering most of us have been waiting since DAoC for something like this.. I don't hold high hopes we'll get something like this in the near future. GW2 tried, but failed terribly on the execution.
Maybe CU can deliver... too early to tell at this point.

the crowdfunding to start Camelot unchained started on may 2nd 2013 so its roughly in its 3rd year (wasting nearly the first year entirely by trying to get the rights for the DAoC engine).
That first year engine bit doesn't sound right. From the get-go they stated they wanted to build their own engine.. else they could have just licensed Gamebryo, which was what DAoC was using.

✭✭✭Summary of New MMOs:
Launches with a lot of hype.
Players either complain about the game not living up to the hype or players praise the game to the high heavens as the best thing since Betty White.
New players come into the game and scratch their heads wondering why players were complaining or players were praising.

No it doesn't... and this is why companies sometimes prefer to keep silent.. people read 1 thing and never read any updates on a story and soon enough it's stated as fact everywhere.

Ha you know, I was just thinking it's like a bet. I hope that Crowfall does come. And indeed Camelot: Unchained. But I have problems with stuff like that and Steam Early Access. If Crowfall comes you'll definitely see me playing that too!

Arobain✭✭✭✭what are all these " game breaking bugs ", " horrendous lag " that people keep talking about, i have been playing 3 months, and i have yet to encounter anything game breaking, i think you guys are over reacting, and about this lag, especially in cyrodil, do you honestly expect for a 33 gigabyte mmo ( one of the biggest out there right now ) is going run smoothly at 60 or above frames when there are about 40 people, spamming abilities, in a close proximity, also you guys wonder why the devs never talk to us, because alot of yall complain, and cry, instead of talking like mature people1 -

Please, I'm a flowerpicking pve'er and the godfairy of carebears. I can't even start the game on my machine since TG update, and I'm forced to borrow someone elses computer to play between 1am and 5am, because I run a guild and I need to maintain it.what are all these " game breaking bugs ", " horrendous lag " that people keep talking about, i have been playing 3 months, and i have yet to encounter anything game breaking, i think you guys are over reacting, and about this lag, especially in cyrodil, do you honestly expect for a 33 gigabyte mmo ( one of the biggest out there right now ) is going run smoothly at 60 or above frames when there are about 40 people, spamming abilities, in a close proximity, also you guys wonder why the devs never talk to us, because alot of yall complain, and cry, instead of talking like mature people
People in general don't complain if they get 20-30 fps in this game, it's when it drops to 2-3 fps and loading screens in the middle of nowhere, skills activating 30 seconds after you have pressed the button. Half of a trial team that gets booted in an instant, and the remaining 6 players wipe if they don't have any healers or tanks.
Don't even get me started on pvp, it's a nightmare of 5min long loading screens alone, and sometimes it feels like a slideshow. You and your group try to hit the enemy and his group, everybody presses buttons and the lucky person gets to deal a little damage. You see them pass by 30 meters in an instant, you cast a skill and can't see it. Sometimes if you play a lot in sewers, you'll see a whole zerg lag and stand still while you and your allience don't lag at all ...so 1 person can kill 20+ players and take all their tel-var stones
and the list goes on and on..
People are not complaining over nothing. If you haven't experienced any of these issues, then you are indeed a very lucky person.
