WAR (Warhammer Online)

I am just posting this to see how many players "won't" be playing Warhammer? I want any reason. I can tell you one of the reasons I'm not playing Warhammer is it's just another class base pvp system. I love my PVP, but I hate rock paper scissors version of pvp. So this is my reason, but to anyone not going to play Warhammer online I want to know yours.

I might be playing something else, although I think it's highly unlikely I'll not at least give it a try. If that try is in beta however, depending on whether it fits my tastes, i might not get retail of course, but that applies to everyone i assume.

I will not be playing Warhammer because I'm not interested in another World of Warcraft. No, Warhammer wasn't first, only the IP was - I know, I played the table-top and RPG before MMORPGs existed. But Warhammer, the MMORPG, offers exactly the same things as WoW, levels, classes, zones, raiding, consensual PvP,  turn-based combat, with just a bit more battlegrounds they call "RvR". I'd rather keep playing EVE Online till I get another good MMO that isn't a EQ/WoW clone.

With a server focused on PvE-grouping (not more content, just all loot), I would play it.

Yet, since it doesn't seems like it will happen...

It is not about the % of the content or whatever, it is about been FREE to choose how I play the game, from start, until the end.  Since my focus in MMOs is on character developpment...missing the upper tier of the rewards is just telling me to not even bother trying the game.  I play Medieval Total War games a LOT more than most RTS fans...and I never even did 1 RTS battle ever.  Yet, I love the game, because I am FREE to play it, the way I see fit, I have access to all troops, all buildings, all revenues, all diplomacy, all ships...even if I don't RTS.  In WAR somehow, if I don't RvR, I don't have access to the upper tier of tools, this is like playing a wargame without the right to build the best units ever.

I will invest some type checking what is the overpowered class, and I will roll that one.

Once that class is nerfed, I will unsubscribed.

j/k.

I don't know if I'll be playing or not...the thought of running around as a Chaos Chosen is very appealing to me, however I just don't see anything in the videos that is terribly appealing to me.  The combat looks bland and it basically looks like an updated version of WoW.  Age of Conan seems to have a lot more to offer as far as new stuff is concerned. 

I had no intention of playing war but after seeing Conan first hand on a friends comp I can say that I certainly considering war at this point.

i wont be playing war if darkfall is out... if it isnt.. i will probably be playing it

and if AoC really does suck on release.. ill be buying a couple hundred shares of EA before War comes out

Right now, the only major factor taking me away from WAR is time. The release holdback is a huge blow to me

Torrential

I wont be buying war is it becomes a battle ground type grind fest ala wow

hearing about all the capture the flag "scenarios" makes think everyone is going to

be shoved away in some instance and not outside doing world rvr which is what

im most looking forward to.
