Thread: Do you think AO will be revived when the new graphics engine comes?

  1. #141
    In my opinion, if the new graphics engine is ever done.......they should trash the old patching system (highly unlikely) or make it more intuitive and user friendly. Anyone who has played AO for a long time knows what I'm talking about. The patching system is a relic at best, and woefully unpredictable; sometimes it works, sometimes it screws up the whole AO installation and you have to delete and reinstall, sometimes you have to roll back the patch and manually change certain files lol, yeah we remember, but I think that would be a way to NOT piss people off. It is really annoying.

    Well in theory IF the engine ever comes it would revive AO, for about 3 months. Then people would realize that stale content, countless bugs, severe profession imbalances and pretty much everything else that's not graphics related were what made them quit in the first place and everything would quickly go back to the way it was.

    I'm gonna go with this engine never materializes on the live servers and if it somehow does, it will be disastrous. Just a hunch though. It has simply taken too long at this point for me to have any hope for it.

    I think it's mostly how underwhelming it will be. No matter how good the engine is, the old assets and especially the character models will stick out like an eyesore. I think with the departure of Macrosun FC finally has a good excuse to throw in the towel on it and start to focus on things that will keep the game going as long as possible. A truly successful new engine might have paved the way for a new expansion but I doubt that is in the works anymore.

    Despite promising early reports, it seems they've managed to stall for another 12 months. Quite impressive. :O

    Damn, you are right, this year has gone by quickly! I guess that's what the AO developers say every year also.

    In all seriousness when they talked about beta testing and all that a year ago I thought they were actually going to release it.

    The new engine is cursed, every previous GD who have worked with the new engine have either quit, or sacked.
    Take a look at current AO, it is a soup of bug that is in my eyes at alpha version, and FC ported the whole thing into new engine. I dont know what people thinking but in my mind see a whole mess.

    I dont think FC have the right competency and resources to release the new engine, and makes it successful.

    Well the beta server is up and running with the changes, they even put them on testserver for all to see. I don't think it's ready because some of the changes are not going to make it to Live, so imo it's a balance issue not engine issue. Some of the new nano changes are major and need to be balanced versus some perks also. Perks rebalances are not ready.
