Originally posted by Crazy00Eyes very good replies crazyeyes. I thought I would add 2 things WAR is a wow clone (been beta testing it for months) with the good idea of public quests, and siegeing at release (which both are good ideas and fun)
also the ToK isnt S*** compared to the 670+ achievments in WOTLK Also crazyeyes i agree 100% ... and having played WAR at level 40 templated chars, the combat...its really ... hmm blocky and kinda ugly the whole time. After beta testing war for a couple months, im prolly not gunna buy the game.
I have played EVERY MMO |

<p>Only going to say this once: WAR is coming.</p> |

In reply to OP: I too believe something feels off with the combat. Even the low levels of other MMOs that I liked the combat in feel better from the get go. I am not saying WAR is bad, but the combat doesn't feel right atm. I have not played since they added the Vram slider, but I doubt it will help. It is the whole presentation of combat that feels off. Not one thing in particular, but combat as a whole. I will try to PvP more, since that is what I want, and see if I feel better about it. |

Well I'll keep this as simple as possible. First off WAR is NOT a WoW straight clone. Mostly because theres alot of differences. One the classes don't play the same. In order to really enjoy a class you have to learn about it and learn to play it. Oh and if you didn't know WoW and WAR are mortal enemies, yeah so a WoW player playing WAR is like being a WoW traitor to some. Two the play-style and concept of the RvR and the way the levels play is way different than WoW. I feel that WoW is actually too simplified in the way of game-play, its always just point click click click win/loose re-spawn and repeat. I mean dam and people say working in a factory is repetitive lol. Anyway the main point here is this, if you don't like a game and you at least give it a good tryout then don't go running to the forums to say "eh this game suck" or " Its so gehy" I mean geeze if ya don't like it just say hey I gave it a shot and didn't care for it then play what ya like. I dont see why people play games they hate just to complain to other players that they think it sucks, like the people who will play it care. Trust me noone cares that ya hate a game because your not famous not manny know you and true fans will play no matter what. Case in point look at games like AoC or EQ2 or hell even GW or CoH/CoV, those being just a few. People have said they suck and yet look they still have people playing them and liking it. Proof that no matter how much you complain or insult the game no one will listen and if they do its to find things to make fun of you for. Oh and speaking of fools lol yes for those who have read the AoC forum I fixed the issue i was having and apologize. |

Or the other side will. OOOH thats PVP at its best I have played EVERY MMO |

The problem I have with the Warhammer combat system is that it's slow. Spell casts are slow as hell. Melee that I've seen is slow as hell. It's too slow, it's boring and I cannot play something like that. After having played Lineage II for years, man... 3 seconds to cast a spell is like an eternity... I cannot get into that. The more I play RvR games (I am currently also playing DAoC), the more I dislike the concept. I really do much rather FFA PvP games where decisions made by the players are Political and affect the game world as a whole. There has to be fighting for a purpose, and there has to be a deeper meaning to "WAR" than just "because the lore says so". It totally dumbs down the gaming experience and makes you feel like you are doing nothing but a routine. Choices and complexities are what make PvP games awesome, and Warhammer removes alot of that, and the RvR on top of it removes just a little bit more. Age of Conan had the potential to become a very nice FFA PvP game, but the players are too retarded to actually know how to function in such a game. It's just a big gank fest. |

I'd say this is a serious step forward from games as World of Warcraft and Age of Conan. RvR seems a lot more viable and fun then most other games with pvp content. There are of course things that needs work but hey, it's only open beta yet. See what happened with AoC... Warhammer seems a lot (A LOT) better already and it's only open beta. Im really enjoying the classes I've tried so far and the RvR seems ok at this stage. Im really looking forward to the higher lvl RvR with more siege and stuff. It'll be interesting to see how much PvE content there is (and how playable it is) as well...
All in all an ok beta at this stage. EQ2 was worse, WoW was an equal and AoC was much worse at this stage (in my opinion ofc). Lets just hope that mythic can keep up the good work and make this an excellent game as Daoc was back in the day (and to some extent still is)!
As for Lineage 2... Yuck! Don't even bring that game up. It should be outlawed since it's so boring... |

Or the other side will. OOOH thats PVP at its best haha thats funny you sound just like one of those people that trys out a game and hates it but keeps playing anyway just to find more things to poke at. Look you can love WoW all ya want I really dont care i got bored with it because first off they wouldn't stop shoveing the game down peoples throats. everywhere you go even today you hear about how 8 million play and so should you I mean what kinda crap is that besides advertiseing death. I liked WoW and aparently you see everything as a WoW clone you like so manny others are baseing all your decisions on a game based upon WoW. I guess I wonder why? why would you assume that WoW is the basis of everything. First off it wasnt the first to come along second if you value a game so much that you and manny others base what you think upon it then you are a greater fool than you think. When Beta testing a game you dont base it on your favorite game you go in and play with a completely unbiased outlook but lately it seems gamers everywhere dont they find a game they love then try other games to see if they measure up THATS why people say everythings a WoW clone because they base thier decisions on the standards of WoW. So before ya go and start whineing stop and think , do you see other games not just WAR from a unbiased side or are you judgeing it before spending real valueable time with it giveing it a full chance because right off one little thing didn't match up to what was in another game. ......oh and no I was not fortunate enuff you get in beta I reserved a copy but the dam gamestop was out of the numbers for open beta and even tho I was signed in to the newsletter since 2006 I never got a chance to get in sadly. As I said say what you will but I'll still play it because WoW has lost my interest I got burnt out on it and dont really see myself going back. |

I'm glad I got this chance to see that I don't like this game so I won't have to waste my money. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

With a game thats as much fun as WAR, i find it silly to compare it to a boring game like wow, they have noting in comon as far as content and gameplay. Wow is a solo pve game on easy mode, war is a RvR game based on teamwork. Must suck to be a wow fan....so bored of wow, bored of the "more of the same expansion" kiddie graphics, and the fact that you cant play any other game without hating it...
(wow is a everquest clone, on easy mode) |

I think the word "clone" has been thrown around a bit too loosely here. Almost all fantasy MMO's are based off of Tolkien lore. And as far as content are concerned, does anyone have any real innovative ideas for what developers of these MMOs could do differently? I don't really care if this game is a so called "clone" of every other game, I just want polish and smooth out the gameplay, so that I can have some fun with RvR as I sometimes do with PvP in WoW, under the right circumstances. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

No offense to you fanbois and all, but in fact you CAN tell how the game is in the first 20 levels, because, as you may know, at least i frikken hope you do, that mmo's are built from the ground up. The most polished areas of the game are going to be the starting areas and the following areas after that, so don't give me this only level 5 bullshit, because level 5 is where the most polish is at. If the game-play and starting areas are not satisfactory, then there is not a chance in hell the high level areas and content is.
The problem here is, most mmo' addicts are from 2 generations. UO / EQ era, in which case it was not about money. It was about innovation and an experience you couldn't forget. Slowly but surely, subscriber bases climbed until finally, the second generation came along - World of Warcraft. In which it was an extremely polished game, a grand experience (until raiding took precedence). So now you have companies, who are not about innovation, and are not about a grand experience. They have a head producer who is looking for 8 million subscribers at 15 dollars a month so he can buy 10,000$ a night hookers and ferrari's.
so, there is the state of MMO's as it stands today.

No, Imperial commander, Nair does not come in wookie size. We do have an ewok 6 pack though |
Originally posted by elondor I will respectfully disagree when WAR is concerned. The longer you go, the more complex and enjoyable this game seems to become. The "sweet point" in my personal opinion is between 8-11 to get a full feel for the game. This makes you competitive in Tier 1 PvP. At the 11 level is when some of the other mechanics kick in, like tactics and moral skills. The other point where something overly new is the keep seiges then the end game city sacking happens. If you are open to suggestion, get to level 11, try out some of the final "toys" and take a peek at Tier 2 to see how well the "polish" continues (or even check out a few of the other pairings) Thank you for your time |

i wasn't directly pointing this at WAR, this is for all mmo's ;) |

well being a person who played EQ,EVE,GuildWars,ACE,PerfectWorld and more my take on warhammer is it sucks the game was a cheap rip off of GuildWars and the hype was undeserving. i canceled my pre-order and will not play it. it also Lacked in other areas like smoothe graphics, lac of race or classes and it made me feel while playing closterphobic like it was all packed in too close. this is my opinion and hopefully it will save somone else 45$ |

def. a clone of GW. the movement same the enviroment same the turn type action same. i just think it could have been great and the next king of mmo's but they totaly droped the ball and no vision in the game development. it like the programers got lazy and said okay we will change the interface and the outfits and ...hurm i am hungry that will have to do noone will notice.........FAIL |

Can the gameplay be better ? I am sure it can be no mmo has ever been 100% perfect. The majority of the game plays pretty well and a ton of people will be playing at launch. WAR is going to be a good mmo. |
|
|
i agree no mmo is perfect but is it too much to expect that they dont do whats already been done or try to push a cheap clone. next generation is what were all looking for and i think its why were on mmorpg to post our experiences. there are some people who are here to Quote others and spell check others post and try to make them feel bad about posting there thoughts. i ignore those people and listen to others. if your out there and playing a game and think its a good game let me know. |
