WAR (Warhammer Online)

I had to go to IGN myself to find out about it, and you have to download it, but boy, I think it's the best *non-NDA breaking* release of an RVR video of the game yet.

Really looks like this game is taking shape now.

- Take note these are not the final graphics

- All I was taking into account was the sheer size of battles... glad to see it's chaos like DAoC was...

- If the graphics are quirking you, check this thread for an RVR video with better graphics - http://mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/189810 That video proves this RVR video was from a phase which was long ago, so I don't want to hear any complaints about the graphics.

*whistle*

But...what with the pikmin looking dwarfs in the keep?

Just watched it, looks awesome. Pretty cool to see them adding in the capes and different color for the armor. Looks fantastic, cannot wait for a chance to play it lol.

I gotta be honest, im really excited about this game but that was kinda disappointing. Looked alot like the unorganized, chaotic combat from WoW. Dunno what to think.....

Was thinking the exact same thing. I spotted too many dull fighting styles there and slow hit rates. Worse than WoW by far imo. Not saying that the end result wont be great, just first impressions of what I saw.

Theres alot of bloom, and the sound effects repeat alot too.

I have a feeling this is Mythic staging battle for good videos, and coming off a little weird. WoW did that too before launch (Show hunters line up, and warriors all fighting one on one)

Once the game comes around and people are playing to win, not look good it should sort out.  We'll so more than just one on one fights, but lines and what not.

I really dont like the fireballs exploding everywere and what not. Too flashy for me.

You tell the truth. Mythic made them all line up to not make too much chaos everywhere. I agree on everything except the fireballs. I like the fireworks and if you don't like it, put some sunglasses on :P
 

The concept for some of the mounts look awesome. I love the dwarf mounts...

The flashiness is really just backlash from having too many classes. Plusses and negatives I guess.

Every class has their nuke, armor and mount.  With all that differen shit it starts to feel like a circus. Imagine if WoW had 6 mage classes all with different AoEs bouncing around. Thats not WAR thats geometry wars.
