Wasn’t it just a couple weeks ago that they removed 4 classes and 4 cities from the game?

I see it different than him though. Looks like that was the right idea. I could care less about having less cities. I actually prefer it, anyone remember the NElf city, even before BC? it was desolate, even when the AH’s were added.

As far as classes go, there are still 20 race/class combo’s. Not low at all. Also means that those other 4 classes will likely be added in the first expansion. Something more than a couple races in an expansion will be nice.

ill be in the back laughing when all of you find out the OB is september 23rd and release  Mid october.

Isn't it being a "hater" if you just assume game will be bad? OR  If you're in beta isn't this a violation of NDA?

In either case you make yourself sound like a troll.

Objectivity will serve you way better even if the game is bad.

I for one am waiting to try it for myself.

After almost 10 years of MMO's, yes I assume games are bad till proven otherwise ^^ The statistics are with me. I'll be just as happy if it proves to be good, then I'll have something new to play, but until then, nope, I'm Mr. Negative :p

or does it all reset to 0 and you have to re-register your name and everything?

 

You won't keep anything from Open Beta -- There's going to be a "Head Start" program for that.

So if you play a "Drizzt" or "Sephiroth" (Or Sepheroth, Sepheeroth, Sephoroth, etc) you better have a good guild to reserve the name during Head Start, or get in first on your own.

Or better, try to create a name that's not a blatant character ripoff to define yourself. ;)

Also, if the game WASN'T in "just polishing" mode by now, I'd be scared and wouldn't have counted on a Fall release. During the last few months of beta, the focus needs to be on making the launch as painless as possible.

ah yeah.  i was confusing open beta with head start.  makes sense.

just a lot of "more money than sense" from what i've just read

no matter how many times players have been ripped off in the past they continue to fork over their cash - exactly the reason they keep getting ripped off

well, they say, maybe this time it will be different - maybe they are right but...............

faith is such a wonderful thing

FAITH - is believing what you know ain't so

well it's just money.  no one will care about your money or debt in 100 years.

Give the history of MMO's, especially the condition they are in at release, that's a pretty safe attitude to have.

You know there's always going to be the "armchair experts"....doing negativity runs on almost anything you can think of...the latest book, the latest tv show...movie..etc.

I'm the type of person that makes up my own mind.......no sheeple here.  :)

What surprises me is the "professional" critics who actually get paid to spout their nonsense.   I find on the whole....I don't tend to agree with them.

But...do what makes you happy.   lol

Just curious Pheace, have you played in the beta? Or seen the game in person at a gaming event like Origins, Games Day, or ComicCon? I played last year's version at PAX and was quite impressed even though the game was still rather bare-bones. Having seen the latest videos, I can't wait to give the game another test spin at this year's PAX.

 I have nearly 28 years gaming experience, including about 5 years working in various capacities in the gaming industry. Yes, I've played my share of really bad games. But I can't understand negativity for the sake of negativity. WAR is getting great initial reviews and has won some big awards at E3 - beating out other top PC titles like Spore, Left 4 Dead, and Fallout 3. In other words, critics think this is a great game, not jus a great MMORPG.  I'm at least looking forward to playing in open beta, and if that sucks I'll just cancel my CE pre-order and use the downpayment on Starcraft 2 or Fallout 3.

All I can say is don't be this dude:

1. Obsessed forum guys

Usually plays: Nothing
Favorite snacks: Cheetoos, Doritos, Fritos

An eternally toggled caps lock isn't an accident - it's a state of mind. It's absolute contempt for decent conversation, and often even the topic of conversation. Not only does the obsessive forumite not like games, he doesn't play them. If he did, he wouldn't have time to rant about how shitty they are in asinine forum threads.

 BattleFelon, I highly doubt youd cancel the game after open beta. I can say without a doubt when you see all that the game has in it now, as it stands youll probably like it. I am in beta. I mean thank god thats one thing the NDA allows me to say hehe. I cant say why I think youll like it. I cant say why I think it will be good. Nor why I think it has flaws. I will say it has flaws. Ones which need to be fixed and this late in the beta its cutting it a bit close in my opinion. Thats about as much as I can say.

I love the game and definitely hold it in high esteem. I really truly enjoy the dev team and like you Felon, I see no reason to be negative this time. Its going to be a blast to see peoples reactions, good and bad, when the nda is finally opened. Holy crap do I have alot to say

Yeah, there's flaws in the game right now, but I've heard there was significant changes to the beta today.  Thinking about to driving to my friend's house(who's 100 miles away) just to see how much it's been improved.

The game may not appeal to everyone nothing ever does. But I understand your hating on MMO's Pheace it is frustrating so many companies think they can feed us crap and not give a damn about it. Us older MMO guys are a dieing lot and alot of the new stuff as you know is being pushed toward the masses. So either you conform and try something and try and like it or you hang on to your old ways and think that the old play styles will come back.

WOW was a success and thus now most companies want to follow this and see how much it makes and want a piece of the pie. So what do they do? They copy elements of it and put there own spins so in alot of games we get the same old stuff with a different shell.

I am in WAR beta and as people know thats all we can say. But everyone shouldn't worry so.

That's funny. If being in beta was all you could say, then you would have stopped there.

Shamuonrye I cant wait to get home and see whats been going on in beta. I heard somethings up today as well but cant confirm that nor deny it because Ive been at work 2 days
