Patch 1.2.0a is BROKEN! Rerolled to pre-1.2

Age of conan has given game time when applying patches that havnt even gone wrong.

With the servers back up, and another patch to download, can we get the updated patch notes please?

"Un-borked the bork"

?

No patch. Try playing first.

Aaand, the game is online!!

WHAT!!! The servers are UP??!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!?!?!?!?

First, I called out of work to be able to play this game all day, and they ruined that... THEN I decided to bite the bullet and bought movie tickets form my wife and I for tonight, since I would be unable to play the game. NOW! the game is back up and I just wasted $25 on movie tickets that I won't use.

I DEMAND BW REFUND ME MY $25 FOR THE TICKETS I BOUGHT BECAUSE THEY BROKE THEIR GAME.


heh... kidding, but I would not be suprised if we see a few posts like this.

On a serious note: I think Bioware actually did a good job. Someting broke, the took the game down and fixed it, and in a reasonable amount of time.

so then did everything we've done since 1.2 was implemented get lost? (buying gear, gear drops, skills, PVP comms, etc) anyone on to find out? I'm stuck at work for another 3 hours

I can't speak for LOTRO, but I call bunk on WoW and EQ.

That three-day downtime after one of the early EQ updates ended with a "Hey, it's fixed, you're welcome. Deal with it." and nearly a week of several NA servers crashing hourly after the Ulduar update in WoW required an organized call-in of several thousand for Blizzard to even acknowledge the problem. They fixed it, but started to delete any thread about the subject after that and suspend the account that made it.

Not saying that this wasn't irritating, given I missed most of my free time to play today, but a whole day free to compensate for half that time lost...

Everything went much better than expected.

- But with some people getting a free month apparently at random
What do you call it? If I have a lvl 50-char, I get a free month. It doesn't matter if I have played since EA or got the game last week. If you have played 24/7 since EA and have 16 chars on two servers lvl 49, you don't get anything. If this isn't random, what do you call it? And don't give me that "we want you to try warzones" crap. The only thing that counts is if you have a lvl 50 or not. Even if you never cared about PvP, you still get a free month.

- Bioware not caring about us customers
It makes me sad to have to elaborate on this, so just compare Baldur's Gate to Mass Effect 3 to see what I mean. BW have gone more and more over to making standard action-games and have forgotten where they came from. Not to mention they have "RP" servers with no restrictions what so ever. You can probably call your char IHateBioWare and get away with it.

- patches introducing more bugs and glitches than they fixed
The servers went down unexpectedly on a Friday, and will be town until after midnight after a patch. Many other things like glitches have been there since launch, and they still are there.

- important things like a LFG-tool and the Legacy-system taking months to add
It should have been included since launch in December. Now it's April, and it's still not here.

- flashpoints being dead
I assume you don't mind spending over an hour trying to find a group before giving up?

- Flashpoints being boring and pointless after the initial, actually good FP
Esseless and Black Talon are story-driven. The rest don't even have NPCs. Why do you think so many people farm these FPs for social points?

- companion quests being so bugged it's not possible to complete them
I went to Nar Shadda with Kaliyo to help her on a quest, but the map led me to the wrong door. I told BW about this, and two patches later the bug was still there. As far as I know, it still is.

And so on and on, I've had enough. For the first time since I got the game, I've uninstalled it and will not be back. Thank you, BioWare. You have gone from the Kings of RPGs to a mediocre game developer, and now finally so far down that I'm extremely skeptical to buying anything from you again. Way to go.

Again, compare Baldur's Gate to Mass Effect 3. Do you really think they are equal as RPGs? The entire Mass Effect are action games. Dragon Age 2? Action game. DA3? "Will use the best part from DA1 and 2"... aka will be mostly an action game.

My opinion? If you say so, but the facts speak for themselves.

Did anyone have there client download Main Assets 46 and install it and then have a 905MB download start for Main Assets 51?
