I will not play WAR for other reasons.  Its made by Mythic who made DAoC, the best game I ever played.  Mythic also destroyed the best game I ever played.  They milked my dollars on the very expansions that destroyed DAoC, and I had three accounts.  I am not falling for another Mythic game again, ever.

 Some locations look VERY bland and VERY unoriginal( this is just my opinion.)

 

Textures look very unmeshed and out of place a lot, and the view distance isn't the greatest. I mean, if your going to have bad graphics, at least make the view distance decent. I actually enjoy backround scenary.

 

All i wish is that they could keep up with 2008, maybe even 7 graphics, and not go for the old, poorly textured graphics plan WoW had. I'm sure there was one way you could figure out that many people can play and still have the game look good.

 

Looking at a game that could have looked the same in 2004-6 does not impress me. Use the new software people! I don't mean Age of Conan software because even their graphics get tiring to look at, but at least something decent enough to WANT to look at.

 

 

Here are a couple screenies that make the game look ugly. There are many more just those stand out.

Hahahaha, Here's a PERFECT example of how you cant make ppl happy regardless of what game it is and has.  People either bitch about graphics being too shitty but gameplays great or vice versa.
 

Your making your decision based off screenshots?  You seriously being that shallow? As you've probably heard many times.  The graphics were not enabled.  Everything was set to low but even than, It still blows me away that your basing it off a screenshot....

Have a good one.

Throw up a gameplay video that doesn't look like crap.

look up. see pictures.

Don't even try , it's just a troll on theses boards that try to spread misinformation because he didn't like the PW. No amount of great screenshots will impress him.

Before he comes back to defend the misinformation bit:

"Yes but WAR hasn't lifted their NDA for the last 75% of the game yet. [I consider levels 1-20 only 25%]
Can we expect another broken endgame?. "
 

The Nda is lifted on everything up to the PW. Just not on  what is being tested right now on elder servers. CB had us testing plenty of Tier 4 RVR and is not NDA covered. Their is plenty of legit vids showing you king encounter , Capital raiding and tier 4 RvR. such as:

www.gamevee.com/viewVideo/Warhammer_Online/PC/Warhammer_Online_Gameplay_Trailer/633106

or see this for non-nda , higher level rvr: www.youtube.com/user/br3ntbr0

also here seen just going on about hearsay :

Never seen that on any heros I fought . But sure it might be possible on 1 or 2 that are bugged and have pathing issues. Sooooooooooo gamebreaking . please.

"The biggest problem isn't level 40's ganking noobs, it's level 12's getting locked out of their PvE content and unable to fight level 11's. The whole transition system is poorly done and will come as a shocker to many, especially in open RvR.
One simple thing they could add is a simple dialog asking if you want to more on to level 12 and therefore Tier 2, or remain tier 1 to finish your quests and help your friends out till they reach your level."

This game is about RvR. It's not a "shocker to many" . The game depends on RvR balance and having Higher level people able to help questing and rvr mess that up. Same with "Stopping at 12 to help friends and finish quests" . The people that would do that are a very small minority. Most would just stay there with their Twinks and dominate low levels making the RVR experience for them unfun.

Boohoo , you can't finish your quests. This ain't Questhammer , PVP balance is very important and I for one am happy they took drastic mesures. Plus if you are into that , Play core. you can finish anything you want unless it's pvp related. You can always unlock everything in a tier , but not everything if you swicth racial pairing all the time. It's called replay value. Gives you a fun experience playing with another caracter since you can try areas you didn't with your main and get different unlocks. if you could unlock everything on 1 caracter , it would be pretty lame and limited.   

We get it , you don't like the game. Stay away with your lies.

have a nice day we wont miss u and for the 1000th time graphx was set for medium-low in beta for testing.

NOBODY CARES, are you that desparate for attention. get a life. no one is forcing you to like the game so why are you crying? the graphics are beautiful, only mmo that has better is conan and that game blows.

Eh, i suppose i was being to irrational when I said i wouldn't but it JUST for that reason. What i meant to get across is why couldn't they just up the graphics more than they are now? If i am going to be playing it for years, I want something pretty and original to look at.

So you ignore the majority of the posts in your thread adressing your issues to tell someone else to read your post?  If you are going to post some overly dramatic stuff about impressions you get when you have not even played the game then maybe you should pay attention to all of the legitimate feedback you have received. 

I bet you money that you will buy this game, and you will be playing it within six months.

I follow the crowd really. So if a lot of people go to this game, then no doubt i will buy it.

I told him to read my post because i said I didn't like the AOC style graphics, he didn't read it and went along saying, " Go play AOC" I do not want to play AoC.

thats a shame really, you dont like WAR graphics, or AoC graphics. So you like neither cartoony or realistic... perhaps it would be fair to say that you just like complaining.

Bro......... I can see why ppl recommend AoC to you because your original post is about how you dont like the graphics in WAR.

AoC=awesome graphics no content, WAR is the opposite (personally WAR graphics are good enough for me).

If you want a good game you gota look past graphics & view points

you should of really just said this statement from the beginning. If you follow the crowd wherever like a sheep then there is really no discussion here. Sorry to put it that way because further input would be pretty pointless.

I for one am happy I never bought AoC.

The game looked good and all. But it was enough to watch my brother-in-law play 4 hours and see how lame the gameplay was.

That said I'll be in WAR from the OB! weeeee!

This is exactly what came to mind when i read that, You are'nt saying you will not buy the game cause the graphics... You are saying you will flame it cause you like to

No need to post here anymore except to laugh at the  people.

I agree that the graphics from posted screenshots and vids look very simplistic, but surely that'd a good thing?

They arn't BAD graphics, they just arn't amazing graphics. So it's obvious that the team have worked more on content than looks. Unlike Funcom who worked on Graphics over content for AoC, resulting in a VERY dull game with lots of content holes in it.

If they worked on that content you speak of, wouldnt we still had a game  with 4 more classes and citys in it?

P.S.: It is to late to pull the  " still in beta "card, with 3 weeks till release.

It's all about lag.

Lag is why the graphics are simpler than say AoC's.

That's why all the toons in WAR look alike.

It's all to reduce lag.

That way we can have battles with 200 player characters on screen.

I have the same issues as well but still ordered the game as I am massive fan of the table top game.  However my 2 concerns are the graphics will be a big dissapointment after AoC and I wonder if the combat will be lob sided for Chaos and will the initial excitement of RvR wear off like control point combat in Tabula Rasa?  Either way I will play and find out myself.

Yeah at this stage you either like the game or you don't.  I find it lots of fun from preview weekend.  I thought the graphics were good.  Some elements need fixing which they are on (like CTD issue).  I turn my graphics down for PvP anyways especially for large scale fights.

I found the change of the cities was good because it concentrates everyone in one front for a big massive battle in fortresses which is how it should be.  I don't like unfinished useless classes (aka DAOC Paladin on release) which would be subpar so I liked the class cut.  Kudos to Mythic for having the courage to pull those of those 2 necessary cuts off.

Hey you can't satisfy everyone.

Why isn't WAR a 2d game then? I'm sure you could have even more people on screen with less lag in that case...

so what who gives a crap about you not buying the game? dont buy it 1 moron less in the game, dont let the door hit ya on ya way out.
