A huge,,,,meh

I wanted to love to original incarnation, this one, not sure I can be bothered.

Instead of making this game, fix WAR.

Could have been good, could have been great, but nope.

This is apparently their game-plan:

1. WoW is popular.

2. Screw WAR up by coping WoW

3. Forget that game, it fails

4. Now MOBA games are popular

5. Rehash WAR resources, instead of fixing it, into a MOBA game.  Don't even bother making a whole new game, just use pieces of the old failed game to make a new fail game!  This is critical success!

6. ???  bacon  ???

7. Forever fail

Sorry for trollin' so hard, but this is just disappoint for me.

I mean, I'd rather see WAR become f2p.  I mean, for all its flaws, I'd still go back sooner than I'd bother with this.  But then, I don't play MOBA games.

This.....willl......be an interesting game.

This still doesn't have that rvr feel like daoc had :( i honestly doubt any upcoming MMOs will come close to capturing that experience.

-3 factions with their own race/classes

-BGs broken down by lvl bracket and open 24/7 complete with siege equipment and mobs that gave better exp then normal ones (who will ever forget thid)

-viable to lvl strictly thru rvr

-skills aquired thur rvr via the realm rank system

- new frontiers

-relics

- the xp on/off command for making characters that were for specific BGs in order to help your faction gain control of various keeps.

this isnt trying to be DAOC...its trying to be an MOBA with an MMO feel..and trust me it works..well

despite the team behind it being legally insane and Mythic having so little direction that EA kicked a few bucks their way to grab them up. the game is trying to be a little different....think of fury...only PvP but there isnt a grind or anything time spent into it the game plays like an MMO

I will for sure try it out. I'm just afraid that with zero character progression and tabtargeted skills, this will bore me out in a few days or weeks at most.

Perfect.

I mean really.

A lot of the MMO that people are whining most about / getting tired of is cut out and you get all the benefit of being competivie and social in a game.

I like LoL well enough, but I always wanted those in your face controls of a well designed MMO.

Seems like a reasonable choice to me. The only downside is they're tacking a failed MMO's name to it.

If it's good enough it'd probably stand on it's own two legs. I'm intrigued and glad I read the article.

I have played  the game and it is really fun. It doesnt fit in the lore or really make sense as a story but who cares if it is fun to play.

I like MOBA's but always wanted standard MMO controls for them and this brings it. The action is fast, fun, and doesnt take a huge time commitment. So if you can put aside that there is really no story and this has nothing to do with the Warhammer universe other then having it's characters in it, then you should enjoy it.

"a Skaven (think Gnoll)"

Er, more like 'think ratmen'.

This mmo is discusting to me.. the fact they are relating it too a mmo is laughable at best.

Developers must be running out of things to make.... or either that us MMO gamers must be starting to get satisfied by playing simplstic and linear games.. No offence to anyone here, but this is a completle ripoff from warhammer online with everything rehashed into a simplistic battlefield. Nothing more.

Making WAR F2P wouldn't help, F2P never worked for a mainly PvP game.

The game needs a total revamp, preferably by someone who is a fan of Games workshop. But that costs a lot of money and it is not unlikely that it would fail anyways since it is really hard for a game to turn bad reputation into a good one (Eve is the only one I know that succeded). 

So instead they took parts of the game qand turned it into Moba, to me it sounds like they plan to kill the rest of WAR off soon.

Why would anyone that was a loyal follower of Warhammer Online want to play a simplified version of warhammer online that is strickly a arena style pvp game?? There are already 100's of F2P pvp games out there setup for that. I don't know about you, but They already have killed Warhammer imo. I mean this is honestly worse then the Actual Warhammer Online

So...anymore news about DOTA 2 yet?

Seriously, who cares about yet another rip off like this..

Any game paul barnett is promoting is a big NO for me, he basically said warhammer online is crap(which it is) but he said 3 years ago that warhammer online was awesome..what a complete douche, he is a suit without the suit.

I beta'd this game. From what I've played... DO NOT think of this as a standard MOBA. There is no laning, no feeding, no leveling up your character, no item buying, none of that crap. This game is fast paced, in your face action, and reminded me much more of the Comquest mode from Battlefield: Bad Company 2. It's also very well balanced, the game tends to go to whoever plays as a team.This game also doesn't take an hour to play, you won't be poopsocking or getting screamed at for having to AFK in an emergency. Thank the Gods for this, as MOBA communities will SCREAM at you if you decide to AFK to take care of your 2 year old child instead of dorking it up in a lane.Honestly, I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised when it comes out. I know I was, especially after the crap I went through with the WAR beta. Honestly, they should just get rid of Scenarios or have RvR-only servers and instead run this along side it. I think that would make both camps fairly happy.

Problem is I think most people are getting bored of arena type games. In wow, the majority of the people only play arena because of the gear and they hate doing it as well. The reason wow is popular is because of the pve and most people like pve, so no point in copying their failed pvp...

WAR rest in peace ye mangey old dog...

Saddly this puppy don't fly with me... A Shadow Warrior....? Topping the boards.... When i left the real game SW was only for those that liked to feel pain and be laughed at.

Why not focus on fixing the MMORPG?

Why pull resources, time, money, and effort away from making a game that still has paying subscribers into something more enjoyable?

Yes... I get it.  WAR is on it's last leg. 

In my opinion, this doesn't do a damned thing to help the MMORPG.  It will hurt it... and likely kill it.  Unless this somehow feeds/ties to your WAR account, this is an incredibly bad move.

When this hits... I expect the MMORPG to be a ghost town in any areas other than maybe T1 and T4. ... to a greater degree than it already is.

Only one thing is dissapointing. that there are no factions, just groupds so high elves can group with greenskins for example..thats little bad imo.they should make 3 factions and give each faction same abilities with different names or something to make it balanced.

a gameplay vid also:

Yeah they kind of took a big steamy dump on the lore by doing that.

 

I wonder if there will be lava-golf in this (I really liked that scenario in WAR)

I got in the beta but havent downloaded this yet...

I was all hyped for this until I saw that they won't have an Archmage.

No Archmage?

No thanks.
