WAR (Warhammer Online)

WOW this is one of those special ed answers. I knew that I would see keep on wishing it might come true one year.

AoC feels like a console game to me...its very ,very solo friendly, very linear, .....maybe the siege warfare will be more fun...but frankly I dont even think I can stand it that long.....I am so bored now I am posting/reading here instead of playing...........I will try war and hope its fun for me

Same experience, although I saw the writing on the day Day 1.  Actually, I saw it before I bought the game, but wanted a new MMORPG so bad, I clouded my own judgement.

Now, if AOC had been more open, less linear, less questy, but just plopped new barbarians into some cruel snowy northern village, it could have been very, very cool.

They could have made it tough so that maybe it'd take being practically level 20 to survive the overland journey to a major city, instead of some artificial exiting of the tutorial.

Someday there will be a cool "World of Hyperborea", I'm hoping and guessing.

But WAR, if it's all it promises, ought to take care of us until then.

Yep I feel about the same way...I'm not gunna lie...I WAS SO HYPED FOR THIS GAME and I do have to say it does have its fun parts but I just was not hooked at all...

 It got so I had to MAKE myself play it to lvl up...b/c after lvl 50 its nothing but solid grinding and boredom...not the mention the endless ganking by random ppl when you would try to quest...

I originally was hooked on getting WAR but the hype of AoC got me but I am now back on the right road "fingers crossed" to an awesome mmo!

you can't even compare WAR and AOC .

AOC is a single player PvE game that is pretending to be a PvP  MMO.

WAR is a PvP MMO from the ground up .

they are 2 completely  different games .

as for will WAR be better then AOC ?  well thats all opinion and here is mine . . .

if you like PvE AOC isn't to bad .

if you like PvP then war blows AOC out of the watter .  

*gets out a bag of popcorn to see how many people come to kill tr289 for AoC bashing* seriously lets not bash other games here especially ones that are fundamently designed for a different game style than WAR.   Its getting old at this point.

*sits back knowing someone is bound to show up with their flaming sword of kill*

I would like to compare WAR to checkers. . .checkers is such a better game and the graphics OMGZ!

Pointless even making this thread, noone can tell yet.

Its more pointless because its completely Subjective.   Even when the game releases it'll still be completley subjective. 

Pointless, I don't know. You can discuss various mechanics and such since AoC is already released and WAR's developers are being quite open with information about many of the core systems in the game. Of course how the game actually plays and "feels" can be gleaned best from game events, which of course is only beta versions and not the final game. And the actual beta testers who're playing the most recent version of the game are under the NDA. So while we can't come to a 100% certain conclusion, we can still compare gameplay mechanics, systems, graphics and design philosophies and evaluate which systems we prefer and why. It'll of course be a subjective matter, and not everyone shares the same idea of what's fun.
