THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS GAME AND IT'S COMPANY!

[♥♥♥♥♥♥♥Stuff 🎁]

Terrible game with a cancer community and a company that doesn't care...

I will most likely get banned after this review for speaking the truth!

It was a dark and stormy night in the secret underground facility and the AE team made up of evil scammers were scheming as usual. "I have one of the greatest money grubbing idea's mankind has had since banks!" Announced Artix to his legion of scam artists. "We'll pose as a free Mobile MMORPG and lure in all the poor kids who can't afford World of Warcraft. Then we'll suck away the few dollars they have!"

So AQ3D is basically a failing WoW. If you played AQW you would know how bad the company is. Don't even get me started on the community as they will defend any stupid choices the company (Artix Entertainment) decides to make.

Graphics look like it came from a Playstation 1 game made in 2000, alot of things are downgraded because of how they want to cross-platform mobile and PC.

Every shop requires crafting, gold in-game is useless even though they stated that they will try to make gold as valuable as possible. Constant lies about releasing updates and future items. The staff members' chosen testers are snobby elitists that look down on players. Expect plenty of reskins of existing weapons. Oh, and don't even get me started on the PAY 2 WIN THEME (YES, THE COMMUNITY IS DEFENDING THIS).

Being banned/muted from this game is almost a normal thing!
Anyone that has beef with you can report you for a stupid reason and you have a 80% chance of being banned (I'm not kidding).

An example for the bans is the glitches ingame. There are TONS of these glitches but nearly all of them are harmless (ie. falling off the map to forcing your character to be unarmed). Yet for some ungodly reason the idiots known as mods are BANNING (no warning, no slap on the wrist, STRAIGHT OUT BANNING) people for testing out their game!
Anyone that doesn't like you and reports for any type of glitch equals a BAN. Staff member spots you being glitched? (Intentional or unintentional) equals BAN!

AE'S OFFICAL RULES ON THEIR PORTAL SITE
Game Rules
Do not bot, cheat/hack, exploit, phish, or attack the servers in any way.
This includes:
Using trainers
Shop / quest loaders
Third-party programs

(Nowhere here do I see harmless glitching as a violation)

Boy oh boy, I'm not even done talking about the mods as they LOVE playing favorites. Anyone "famous" (aka the autists who afk 24/7 on Battleon) are immune to getting banned! These players are CONSTANTLY seen intentionally trying to find new glitches for this game in front of mods! Yet... I don't see any admins trying to stop them and they're obviously not banned as you can see them ingame to this day.

Chatting in game... oh boy
It can almost be compared to Club Penguins' chat fliter. I thought I was playing a MMORPG in Steam; you know, the gaming platform where I can buy violent/sexist video games like Grand Theft Auto and Hatred! But instead it feels like youre playing Club Penguin 3D!
Some examples include cursing, yes the chat ingame blocks cursing but the staffs are too stupid to update it so you can spell out ♥♥♥♥♥ and cuss like a pirate. Someone got butthurt over your language? An admin/mod didn't like what you said in the game? You can kiss your chatting privileges good bye for 2 days.

And sure, you think a 2 day mute or ban isn't bad at all? Well that's where you're wrong friendo because once u get a "mute" or a "temp ban" you're marked on their system. Get two more mutes or temp bans and the temp ban becomes permanent . R.I.P. money spent on this crap game.

Onto the community, they will literally eat any fecal matter the company spits out. Mention ANY bad opinions about the game/company and they will go into an autistic fit of rage and try to have a long flame war with you. Constantly freaking out about items with logos (capes with review site logos which are literally walking promotions). Loads of ♥♥♥-kissing, backstabbing, ego stroking, and elitism in this cringy community.

"MY COMPANY CAN DO NO WRONG, I'M REPORTING YOU FOR HAVING AN OPINION" -Typical AQ3D player.

Kickstarter rewards are slowly being released, one of the most disgusting things I saw about the rewards was the Kickstarter "Rare" variant class armors. It was a reskin of the default class armors in gold trimmings. Not only was it hideous but it shows just how much effort and detail is being put into this game.

Finally, the gameplay itself... It brings NOTHING new to the table, another run-of-the-mill BLAND Mmorpg that has hundreds of other competition. The only "selling" point for this game is the fact they have cross-platform (mobile and PC) which I will admit is very nice. Sitting on a toilet and farming skeletons off Doomwood Bridge sounds like a great way to take a dump.
Other than that, your typical/generic RPG that you cannot appreciate unless you've been playing their flash games which was popular back in the 2000's.

So the game basically runs down to...
Five different attacks! (including auto attack)

Hours of grinding.

Fighting with stupid people.

People who pretend to be afk/are always afk!

Constantly missing attacks to a monster 1 level higher than you.

Mobile gaming pay to win/pay to skip themes!

Dungeon keys, enjoy farming that dungeon only to run out of keys that recharge every 2 hours. Don't worry though, buy dungeons keys instantly for just 2 US dollars!

See plenty of re-used assets in game.

It's also funny how the "selling point" of this game (mobile cross-platform) is also the very thing holding them back.
I wish to say the game has potential, but with it's terrible community and horrible/lazy staff members...

The only reason to play this is if you...
1. Played their flash games back in 2003 and decide to play this for nostalgia.
2. Were tricked into spending money on this horrid game.

Other than that, don't waste your time.

and ive been playing aq since like 2001-2002 with the original go ahead pull that elitest attitude if you get banned without reason go chat it up with artix he actually pretty vocale if you mature enough to have a comversation without laying on the flame war.he has a twitter and he does respond hell he even pretty good at responding on youtube as well.

I have a feeling this guy did more than what he is letting on.
For example I have done basically the same ♥♥♥♥ other than spend money on the game and I have yet to have a single chat mute or temp ban on my account at all.

But there is one thing you said that made me face palm harder than anything.
And that is about the terms ect and harmless glitches.
Anyone with more than a few braincells and mmo experience can tell you any form of glitch found in the game unless placed there by developers for easter egg purposes in considered an exploit of the server.

Ive actually gotten banned before but thats because i had a virus or something on my pc at the time that literally was detected by most the online games i played and they thought i was a bot or something stupid but as i said artix pretty vocale and easy to talk too if it was a ban like that best thing to do give them a shout in a proffesional way not some 80 page rant on how immature they that doesnt help anyone matter fact its a one way street because they gonna laugh at this rant and say good bye. lol

As hard as it is to admit it, I had my hopes up. I only downloaded this game out of nastalga (yes the AdventureQuest game that started it all). Hope "Pay to Dungion" dosen't harm this franchise like Starwars Battlefront 2 hype. Lastly Gamers got rage, Who hasen't felt the need to spit fire like a Dragon because of the glitches and bs (Ashfall & Darkovia hype) produced by the game developers who don't seem to care.

[Count Wolf]

Why is that Patrion patrins get more respect from the game? I spent my Steam cash on this game (which counts as being a patrin torwards AQ3D). Further more Beta test items should be givin automaticly to Beta users by the Wrench at the tavern instead of feeling like a goose chase or a "Once in a Lifetime Event", like the dude said on rant early post, we need to feel rewarded for are miniscule patronage and Beta testing not hoodwinked.

FYI Aria needs to put down the phone and care for those mystical pets. Hell make her intervention part of the game. Those poor animals.....

[McRaZick]

A good game dosent need a good graphic. Next time dont try to send a false information, but how the game would improve if... This is not the good way. Ill be surprised if this article has gaved you the positive satisfaction.

I have 230/20 Dungeon Keys. I dont see the problem in running dugeons.

Never been banned, never been muted. Never had to pay a dime to progress in the game or finish all of the content (or enjoy it).

Glitching is considered exploiting due to the fact that you're doing something you're not supposed to do. Period. Intentional glitching isn't a part of the game, and is not intended to be a part of the game. That's common sense. Harmless or not. You yourself even mention a glitch, but then go on to explain how to do it and what it does. That means you knew, and that means it wasn't unintentional.

Reskinning assets is common in literally every single MMO you can think of, and don't you dare say that's not the case for WoW or any other on the market. You can find reused assets in literally any of the games you'd list.

Swearing is a problem for you? Sucks! Learn to control your mouth then. Just because it's on Steam doesn't mean the company can't have its own rules in place. If you've really been around long enough, you'd know this is commonplace in ALL of their games. To complain about it in AQ3D provides no real argument unless you're talking about AE as a whole. Which, I have some beef with personally when it comes to the filter, but that really doesn't detract for me in AQ3D.

Barely run into AFKs, personally. Usually just some people stopping at a crafting spot.

The attacking higher level monsters has been updated to not be nearly as bad as it was initially, haven't had many issues with this in a long while.

Gold isn't useless, it's used to buy almost everything in shops and is necessary for crafting. Higher level items require more gold to craft. Pretty important if you ask me.

Graphics opinions are subjective. Could use work, yeah, but I like the style it has.

The community is filled with a lot of younger people. That's expected when it comes to a family-friendly game. Not surprised that you'd run into some arguments or people that don't agree with you so highly that they'd report you. Is that okay? No, but if you were truly banned, you likely deserved it and have probably done more than you're leading on.

I wouldn't report you for having an opinion, but that doesn't mean I can't tell you what I think of your thoughts:

This is a childish rant. You simply lack self-control and don't know how to be a decent person in-game, and while the company has issues it could work on and isn't a perfect group of people, that doesn't mean they don't have good intentions or that they don't care - nor does people praising them mean they think they can do no wrong.

Shouldn't have wasted money if you felt this strongly already, by the way. That's on you.

Not everyone has the same experience as another, all you have done is based it off your own opinions and not listened to the majority. I personally do not hate this game but as a fan of this company I can clearly say unhappy people and a bad community that doesn't see what some say as constructive criticism = waste of time. The person who posted the rant clearly had beef with the develepors however the way they have presented and developed this MMO is very generic even I can admit that. Which is why I don't plan on playing much more of this game. He made a couple of points that made sense that has been a problem since the AQW game. However it is 2018, plenty of similar combat designs and character customizations around. Nostalgia is there for me however, along with a cheesy yet charming dialogue but that's it. From what ive seen in this "drama" discussion group it saddens me to see they would be so immature as to add such an immature tab just because a lot are unhappy with the game. They should atleast try to explain their reasoning in some of their decisions as develepors instead of just ignoring most of the criticism and rage that has ensued, but hey that is just an opinion of a noob nothing more :)

I will admit, I actually would be happy if AE crashes and burns. I really do. And let me tell you why.

While yes, that means no more AQW, AQ3D, which are the games I do love, in the long run it's better. It becomes a lesson to other small game companies to not to take their fanbase for granted and yank them around like AE has. While, no, we don't have any money at stake right now, it is a complete lack of respect. They think they can keep dragging things out with no answers and pacify with copy n paste answers, and that shouldn't be how anyone does.

Now, this isn't anything personal to AE or that I'm saying we should boycott them. I will probably still support the game, especially if things improve. But I really am annoyed with the company, it's conduct, and I don't want to see this again, and if AE has to die to teach that lesson, then so be it.

[XxJohnGxX]

AQ3D is an amazing game!! the game isnt even close to completion, and constantly updating for the better. bugs are to be expected, it happens. AE has taken an impressive aproach for mobile gaming. it can get very repetative at times but its to be expected and content will keep coming out. some things will get better and at times ather aspects wont work, like the friends list at this moment. tottaly broke. but its ok because it will be fixed. and for a mobile game the graphics are just outstanding. if you dont like the game dont play. its as simple as that.

[Count Wolf]

has a looong way to go

tbh, I dont think that AQ3D will be ever AMAZING game, solid at best.

[PridefulPuma]

Ive never seen this side of AE you guys are talking about and have dealt with customer service many times in my 10+ years with the company. Always punctual, always polite, and nothing cookie cutter and bot like. Maybe if you go 0-100 they dont like that.
