So I had the best fun I had so far with this game a few days ago. I was roaming Order territory with a Dark Elf and ganking/ambushing players whilst queing up for scenarios.

It was a blast, particularly the 'world pvp', I was doing exceptionally well because I am by nature a very competitive gamer and in one scenario was miles ahead of anyone else in terms of damage/kills. Which made me log off that day very satisifed because I love to be on top.

Anyway the point is I've tried to log in today and yesterday, looked around for about 5mins and just logged off again. I just cant bring myself to play it for some reason. It's almost like I've experienced all the game has to offer and I just don't care anymore.

It's like I know how the game will pan out, sort of when you go through halfway of a SP game and just stop playing because you know the rest will be all the same. I remember moment of intense, exhilerating pvp in WoW in the good ole days, and the pvp in this game reminds me of that and even a little bit more... but to what end? Suddenly it all feels pointless.

Because it is all pointless when your hard work and accomplishments actually have no impact on the game world proper.

You're ready for the next level.  If you want to play a game that has this now, try EVE.  But if its not your bag (and I understand, its not for everyone) then keep an eye out for DFO later this year (I hope)

So you feel like you've done this before? Let me guess, you've played WoW? I got the same feeling.

I was exactly the same in beta.  Played and then...why bother?  The game is so shallow, easy and devoid of anything special it gets stale so quickly.  The clunky combat makes it even worse.

Its the WoW model, definitely, but they dumbed it down and streamlined it so severely that there's just nothing left in it that's interesting.

If you are not trolling and are really looking for something differant seriously...try eve dude. I am liking warhammer so far its fun it is maintianing my interest, have I done it all before yeah..but its still amusing. Not into wow , good game loota fun just burnt out on it, not interested in wotlk expansion. AoC not worth talking about (IMO) TR didn't hook me, the new bioiware title looks interesting though.

Eve is like a fuk buddy, even if you dont love her you will keep coming back.. just something about it and if you can afford to run the 2 games at once you can always kick in some 35 day training cycle and play something else while your eve char cranks out skills. STEEP learning curve if you are a mouthbreather you won't GET eve lol but if you can get past the begining it is a jam, nothing like smoking someone in eve nothing, bar none. If you are competetive and like the fear of losing ALL your shit and having your body sent back to a jar of goo, you might get off on EVE.

GL hope you find something keeps you interested man.

i think all their effort was spent in advertising, because the game play and design is lacking.   melee combat is so slow and dull, spells look just as stupid as they did in daoc, and character models look like some of the repulsive artwork out of a f2p asian game.

You sound like someone I'd hate in the game, but on the other matters I agree with you. Welcome to the club.

How can it be that people need to play for 14 days to come to this conclusion?

I guess age and experience do matter. I would have bet 7 days and getting bored was the max for War.

But apparently people are so desperate to like something new, they don't see behind the emptiness of bashing heads.

Hehe I am not THAT type of gamer that you're thinking of, when I play MMOs I am very friendly and social with the people around me and I never harass my teammates for making mistakes or being 'noob', I just focus a lot on PvP and being good at it.

I'd like to add that I have tried EvE and unfortunately just could not get into it, I have friends who play it/used to play it.

If your post is referring to me, I'd like to point out that not a single part of what you said is true. Don't be so quick to pass assumptions... I know what your agenda on these forums is.

Kinda got to agree a little here ,this has happened to me a couple of times too ,last night for instance I logged in really looking forward to a great session but within 5 minutes I logged off and went and created a new character in Vanguard instead. Ended up playing Vangaurd all night and really enjoyed myself.

I thought when WAR came out I'd found my new Mmo home ... just now I'm not so sure , I really want to love it  though , its kinda strange.

I think what you are realizing is that all mmorpgs are pointless.  Even the best games are in fact just a big pointless waste of time you could be doing something productive.  Perhaps its time for a new hobby.  I have been here before.

Im gessing you were not in a guild? nor had friends on your friends list?, And that you where level what 10-11 tops?..Maybe killing people 5-6 levels lower then you?.. i only ask this beacuse im not sure how after one day of decent pvp you know how the game will  "pan out". If you are as hardcore as you say with pvp then there is a ton of stuff to do But oh well WAR isnt ment for everyone, to each his own i gess.

Everyone keeps saying the same thing, " and you only made it to what level?" Well in very idiotic opinion is a game should be great from the beginning and if it has too tail off at endgame. Lets take WOW for instance(not Fanboi just experience), it was new and exciting levels 1-50. Had me hooked in five minutes! Started several characters from start to finish. Eve, fun till I had to wait four months to level one skill!  Not too mention my corp would not give me a hand cause I started too late! Neocron one of the most inventive till endgame! War needed to be great from the get-go and not wait till your level 25? Well a common known phrase is "everything happens in the first 5 minutes of movie"

Not trying too bash the game, just agreeing somewhat with OP. Played and said this could be cool, and all of a sudden lost the will to log in.  I am the type need something new and this seamed like a grind too have fun, almost like a F2P game.

YEah, I am feeling the same way....hmmm. It's like an emptiness of some sort. Or maybe an anti climax.

Gamers fatigue?
