I bought it the 1st day it came out and played for 2 weeks then cancelled due to lag and I couldnt get a feel for it. Has it gotten any better? Is there any patches that fixed stuff up?

 

 

Thanks

No it hasn't. Don't bother with this bad game if you have any sense of value for your money and time.

It's doing okay, but I didnt resub simply because it's not my cup of tea. To slow and detached feeling for me. Hasnt really changed a whole lot other than bug fixes and a few additions to content (classes etc).

If your desperate for something to play I say you should give it a shot and see how it turns out for you. Good luck.

 Finish out your free month and then move on. Once you hit Tier 4 you finally get hit with how badly they screwed the pooch with RvR and that in the end it boils down to another gear grinding WoW clone.

Why do people waste so much knowledge with stupid post like this. But on a true point of view the game has become alot better in the lower tier areas. I don't really know to much info about tier 4 yet. The lag has been reduced alot in the game and Mythic has done alot of updating and patching on the game that has made it a little more fun. Just a little more  not to much but on the rating system I'll give it a B - so far Mythic still has alot more to do with this game before it becomes a A in my book.

The game, as everyone knows, is not solo-centric.  So, unless you can find a group to join and another group to fight... it's not much fun. 

Scenario's are okay, but Open-RVR is where it's at. 

Kill.  Kill again.  Kill some more.  Kill more after that.  And keep... killing... and killing... and killllling until Renown Rank 80.

It actually killed it for me.  War replaced WoW hands down.

Jtrav1987, Keep to the topic and elaborate, or delete your post. See what I did there?

His post is at least about the topic, your post is unsignificant and much worse off.

 

As for the topic, and this is my opinion: Performance is MUCH worse than say patch 1.04. It went from good, to playable, to barely playable (1.06). I hope it starts getting better in 1.1. Lag, CTDs, stuttering etc. are still there. I'm not the only one who's getting worse performance than before, you can check any forums.

However everything else is getting better, from RvR population, to population balance, out of sync animations, loot, bugs and more stuff.

So while I was enjoying the game, the degrading performance from patch to patch is starting to get on my nerves and if it doesn't get better in 1.1, I'll probably cancel until performance is good again.

So to answer your question, patches are fixing everything except performance (on my side at least).

Probably depends on who you are reading. To read the fanbois the servers are full most of the time, Open RvR is "poppin" all over the place, the new characters (all two of them) are KILLER!, all the serious players are left only, the whiners are gone and everything is 'just fine'. Exhibit A:


The game is fine. Play and enjoy.


game is doing really well. 18 active servers and alot of patches and content have been added along with 2 classes. I am lovin' it.


Dont listen to the haters.. try it yourself and find out.. I just resubed and im having a blast playing right now. KotBS are kick ass!

While the other side is pretty much said its server population problems, has serious nerf issues and is too boring. Exhibit B:


The ridiculously massive nerf to BW's was the last straw for me. Games that start swinging the nerf bat always go downhill from there.


Hell no! and after 6 years of DAoC and this mess of a game, im done with Mythic, period.


no i will not. it has allready been canceled, and have lost all faith in mythic. mainly because of one thing; server population - they just made to many servers, and they all became low. and rvr on low servers = sux (europe)

and since they didnt merge some servers they basically killed the game.


Me? I found the game fair, that's it. I don't think it can get much better than that. For me, it'll never get beyond much more than a filling station in the desert on the road from Sante Fe to Los Angeles on Route 66.

If you quit after two weeks in, I would bet you'd fit in more of the Exhibit B side.

Its easy to get into, and easy to get out of.

Nothing in the game that mythic can hang their hat on as far as original systems save for PQs.

I like the game well enough to ignore some of the other titles coming and presently doing well. If a compelling offer comes down the road though I feel like I could leave WAR without missing it much.

And that's why people who actually knew anything about the game kept repeating that Mythic had stated WAR was not trying to be a 'WoW-killer'.  But here's yet ANOTHER link from back then for those who have forgotten

http://www.akgame.com/news_display.html?pages_id=221

The problem was the gaming mags and online sites who loved to use the 'WoW-killer' term in their articles about Warhammer just to catch readers.

To the OP - I'm sitll enjoying WAR more than any other MMORPG out there but this game won't appeal to every kind of player (Crafters, those longing for sandbox game where you can endcap playing a diplomat etc). 

I find the PvP combat fun and the PvE entertaining enough to fill in the rest of the time.    My advice is FIND A GUILD, even a small one.   You get some real benefits from it like Recall Scrolls and guild merchants. 

If WAR isn't your cup of tea, at least there are starting to be more options about there for MMORPG players.   You have a better chance now compared to any time in the past of finding a game you can enjoy.

Not sure why you're having problems.  Mine runs great. Better than it did when it first came out.

I have no idea either. But I do know that lots of players on my server (EU) feel the same. Some have better performance, the others not so (worse, me included).

Yours runs great? Gratz, hope it stays that way.

As far as for me and my $15 a month is concerned, WAR did kill wow.  Cant speak for anyone else and wouldnt want to anyways, but ya, ask Blizz when the last time they saw my hard earned money.

War did not turn out what everyone hoped and thought ti would be... the next big thign after WOW. Supposed to be mainstream but not only failed to capture most pvpers hearts but even most carebears.

Servers are always closing and populations dropping and only fanbois cling on with desperate hopes.

In other words stick a fork in it... its done

The next big thing after WoW?

If you mean another 11million subscribers game then no thanks as this game would cater to every one and they're grandma like WoW. The fact it gets that many subscribers is because it runs on all pcs and is extremely easy so that it caters to everyone (and they're still making it EASIER). WoW is a smart game. A good one? Let's just say everything's relative!

As a matter of fact very few people expected WAR to kill WoW lol. Even Mythic themselves said that they're shooting for 2nd place.

This is an interview before the game even launched: www.edge-online.com/news/mythic-wows-the-beatles-war-zeppelin.

Rofl, relatively yes. If you just take the forum populations however, then no, the WAR forums were filled with people calling this a WoW killer etc. :)
