General Discussion

I knew when this game was announced I would play it, I have loved the IP for going on 10 years or so.  Yes, it is disappointing to see delays, and I know a lot of the guys I've played other mmo's with have just said "to hell with it" as time has passed.  But I have no intention of paying to play another beta.  Finish the game, make it fun, make it challenging, make it WORK properly.  I don't think this game will be groundbreaking or the be-all and end-all of mmo's, that kind of "waiting for an mmo messiah" attitude has caused nothing but pain and disappointment in the past.  But I do think this game will entertain me, and that's all I'm really concerned about.

Yes, I would rather play a 40k mmo in the current fantasy loaded market.  And while I do understand the playable races they chose in regards to the whole RvR theme, I am pretty damn upset that I can't play my Skaven, and am not sure how they would fit into the current setup.  It's nice to see an official announcement as well, as frankly, I don't really care about concept art, and the fact that that was all I was seeing for a while from WAR had me a bit worried.

so we have to wait a few months longer . i dont think that actually suprised many . if anything i m glad they are taking time to iron it out . after all if your that desperate to play it you can get the delux edition and have a guaranteed spot in the open beta . the delux is overpriced but i guess this can be offset against the money you save in the open beta on not having the monthly fees ( if you take my meaning) if thats 3-4 months before its release its proberbly not so bad . personally i d rather wait till i talk to a few people who are actually playing it and see a few reviews before i buy the same applys to conan . after vanguard i ll never believe the pre release hype again . once bitten twice shy .

Most of games i've played, got key before i even got cds/box so client download was best sollution.

This game is crap and we have seen all this game has to offer at least 10 times before in some earlier MMOs.
World of Starcraft is in development and coming out probably a year after SC2 so that would be only girl worth waiting.

THQ is working on a 40k MMO

Warcarft and starcraft Both borrowed heavily from warhammer and 40k

WAR graphics look nothing like wow graphics The models in WAR are much much more detailed.

You cant have Crysis graphics in a mmo with over 100 people on the screen at one time - well you could but the percent of people with machines capable would make the game have a much smaller install base. You simplely cannot do that with mmos and expect them to be successful.

Warhammer in state it is now does not look all that great. Graphics already looks dated and gameplay is not something we didn't see before.
But we shell see soon who was right or wrong.

See you back on this board, say a couple months after release?

Are you sure that is not Elton John in the picture advertising for WAR?

Good-Bye yellow Brick Road?

Personally I think these guys have alot of fun while they're doing their little information videos.   And so it should be...if they're having fun..we will be too when the time comes. :P

Great to see they are taking the beta testing seriously as well as the testers.   Sounds like they are making changes that the players actually want.  This is exciting news and makes the time waiting well worth it in the end, I hope.
