umm maybe because they couldnt run it in beta either??? Personally, ive known since the 1st beta i wasnt gonna be around for ah2...
Now in your case, I'd say that really is unfortunate. By some twisted fate your machine specs may have been so crappy that it cannot handle AH2.
However, I'm not exactly running a state-of-the-art machine here also. It's basically one~two years behind the latest 'tech curve' in PC specs suitable for games of nowadays - I haven't had an upgrade in machinery for 3 years, and it still handles AH2 just as it handled AH1. So, if my machine spec is behind the tech curve by 2~3 years, geez, it's definately time to get a new machine, don't you think?
However, most of the 'complaints' here TW, basically has nothing to do with actual bugs, or running the system - none of them has any basis so far in my opinion.
They all confuse a matter of taste with matter of playability. They also confuse their own personal dislikes, with inherent game faults.
Don't do that folks. It makes people laugh. We've had months to adapt and prepare with the beta, what it will offer, how things will change and evolve. What kind of technical problems one may face, what kind of specs he might need and etc etc etc... it's all been discussed among us.
Basically the long run of more than 30 beta versions have clearly hinted on us on what we could expect and what we should prepare. It's what we've been discussing in the Beta Forums all along.
And, in the Day1 of AH2, people log in, play for 30 minutes, and start crapping on how he don't like icons, how the FMs strange, how the clipboard is porked and yakyakyakyakyakyak.
Gosh, we have an ancient saying which goes;
"beating the drums when the song's already over" ... Like I said, where were you guys when beta was on?
