Take care everyone - taking a wow vacations!


Recently I have been very very bitter with AOC and quite frankly I am making an ass of myself with all the complaining. No one wants to see that. I have decided to unsub and take a "WoW" vacations (well not really WoW, perhaps some other mmos on the market like DDO or Fallen Earth? No idea yet). Patch 1.5.6 issue have finally broken my back as I can't even PVP with freezes, massive FPS drops (AOC used to be smooth of medium settings for me) and lag spikes. As solo pve and pvp player I have no content to enjoy and I have found myself logging every other day to do one mini and log off (along with bitching in guild chat). Games are to be enjoyed and if the magic is gone then its time to move on. Since I am so into Conan lore and Hyborian world I will be back at some point after more content have been introduced to the game. So this is more of a "good bye" than "farewell". I would like to thank the whole Assassin community - you guys are great, I have greatly enjoyed your company on this somewhat bumpy ride in Hyboria.

All the best,
Slith

So if you are done with AoC, i'll write sth about Aion.. in polish;)

Pierwsze wrażenie całkiem pozytywne pomimo, walk z kukurydzą, pseudo-króliczkami itp. Po wyborze klasy (gre zaczynasz jako mag/zolnierz/skaut/kaplan, na ~10 poziomie wybierasz jedna z dwoch klas). Zaczely sie mega lagi, ktore popsuly czerpanie przyjemnosci z gry- okazalo sie, ze 2megowe łacze, dziele z 8 osobami... Jednak jak lagi mijaly (sasiedzi szli spac i wylaczali torrenty;]) gralo sie clkiem przyjemnie.

Niestety, o ile na poczatku poziomy wbijamy robiac tylko zadania, o tyle pozniej jest bezustanny grind na mobach- czego nie znosze.

System PvP nie zrobil na mnie wiekszego wrazenia, byc moze z racji niskiego poziomu, na ktorym sin, mowiac lekko- ssie w porowaniu do innych.

Do tego uprawiac PvP mozemy na dobra sprawę od 25 poziomu, kiedy to zawedrujemy do Abysu- lokacja dla obu stron konfliktu, jest to tez pierwsza lokacja, w ktorej mozmy latac wszedzie.

Gre zakonczylem na poziomie 28, skonczyla sie subskrypcja i jakos nie mialem ochoty jej przedluzac.

Na wyzszych poziomach ludzie troche mniej narzekali na skryto, ale nie mialem cierpliwowci ani checi do dlszego wbijania poziomow, zeby samemu sie o tym przekonac.

Dodatkowo, jesli chcialbys powalczyc skryto 'w powietrzu' to nie ma to zadnego sensu, bo nie dzialaja wtedy niektore skille, dlatego walczy sie tylko na ziemii. Aplikujesz trucizne i wrog nie moze latac.

Podsumowujac, gdyby nie nieustanny grind na mobach, baaaardzo wolne wbijanie poziomow (szczegolnie skryto i ranger), zbyt czesta smierc (do 25 poziomu- pozniej jest troche lzej), mala ilosc instancji(pierwsza dla poziomow 25-27 z 18 godzinnym cooldown'em) i ogolna nuuuda, to pewnie gralbym dalej, bo mass pvp zapowiadalo sie calkiem ciekawie, kolejne instancje podobnie, takze endgame chyba lepszy niz w AoC- ale nie mam tyle zapalu, zeby do tego dojsc.

Crafting tez podobno jest fajny i napewno bardziej uzyteczny niz w Conanie- ja wolalem wbijc poziomy niz zajmowac sie tworzeniem;]

Market tez dziala o niebo lepiej niz w AoC.

Hey Slith, a little break and a comeback soon after the towers and our revamp, that's the best thing to do. Have fun and thank you for your dedication to the assassin communauty

I didn't realize that things were so bad with the new patch. I was about to resub but I might wait for a bit to see if Funcom can iron the kinks out.

Slith said...

yeah Jay, you might want to wait just a little longer

I just hope your twitter and this blog won't become your "I didn't remember how good wow was, in wow everything is possible, it is like the real world."

Slith said...

Don't worry - even if I make the switch to other MMO, this blog will stay how I left it.

No one would come here anyway if all I sudden I have started posting WoW crap in here;

thanks Bartek for your review

Korean mmos are just not my cup of tea - staying away from Aion
