WAR (Warhammer Online)

its not over till mythic/ea says its over...even if it is tomorrow :P

Since I've played the game from the beginning of beta this is probably the first "hyped" mmo ever
that im not going to preorder. Why? Because I just don't feel like this is anything above World of
Warcraft at all. Yes I do hate that comparisons between WoW and any other mmo, but tbh WoW
gives you the feeling of being in control of your character especially in the moving part. It's quite
hard to understand, but serious gamers will probably. WhO simply won't give you this feeling while
you play. It's more like standing infront of a mob and hitting the one rotation over and over. And yes
I do know that this is how it goes nearly the same way at WoW, but it's all about the animations
and lenght's of the 1v1 PvE fights.
I don't even want to talk about the PvP part of the game, even if it's "the one" thing that shall make
a difference to all the other mmo's out there. The whole gameplay is just way too motionless and
that is actually the one thing you will feel about this game the first few minutes you play.
A game can have an amazing lore and stuff behind it, but if I'm playing a mmo it's the first few
minutes I'm running around with my character where it's decided if I like the game in the long
term or not. Character control and movement is one of the most if not the most important thing
about a mmo nowadays and WhO... well see for yourself and decide if it's your kind of style. If
you are less of an action, movement and reaction gamer it's probably the game for you. tbh it's
not much more that buttonsmashing over and over again w/o nearly the same "feeling" of control
you only can get at WoW nowadays.

I do hate WoW myself, more because of frustration that there is nothing comparative since so
many years. But I still do play it and I'm not feeling like hopping onto another ship just because I
do hope for salvation from the World of Warcraft. WhO won't beat it, sadly.

Well, I finally pre-ordered at Gamestop.com tonight. I hope this game doesn't suck like the last 2 hyped MMORPG, Vanguard and AOC.

 

Someone tell me this game doesn't suck! I signed up for Beta with 100 email accounts, and not one of the 100 email accounts were accepted for BETA :( : (

...Now ... we know where those 1 miljon beta of Conan and 800 K beta demands for WAR came from/

I can already see his next posts

- in 3 weeks: this game is a blast !

- 5 weeks: this game sucks! (after having lost a big battle)

- 8 weeks: I'll sue Mythic and create 100 email accounts to join Aion Beta.

-------

This is the state of some few hundred thousand teenage kids in MMORPG land.

And then you wonder ...........

How did you know????  My lawsuit against SOE and LucasArt is still pending.

This game is a blast!!!!

I played AoC beta and had High Hopes for it because in Beta it was fun and entertaining and not the load of crap it is right now. I had also played WAR beta and liked that too. But after the suprised failure of AoC I won't pre-order WAR now because I am afraid it will fail like AoC did. Things change at release for better or for Worse. I wish SWG didn't have the CU I would still play that. AoC went from fullfilled promises in beta to jack shart on release. WAR was good in beta I liked it but I won't risk it, when the game does release I won't mind hearing peoples views. Well I participated in WAR's in July haven't touched it since, but it was ok bar some minor problems. I hear it has changed a lot and I liked it then and would like it now just tell me how it is when it Releases

You're not in the beta. This game is nothing like WoW. Stop reading forums and get in the beta. If you are come to Praag as Order right now.
