Seriously guys, is it really that stable?

Are the bugs only a bit annoying and not game breaking?

Did they really keep every feature listed on the site?

The game sounds way too good to be true.

I expect the Sandbox fans to not like WAR too much and I expect the WoW loyalists to bash WARs pve.

But seriously where the hell are the horrible reviews saying the game will tank?

I'm reading these forums in shock that the game can be this good.

No terrible lagg? no glitchy collision? no bugged spells? no server stability problems? no unbalanced gameplay? no terrible itemization? No lack of endgame like AoC? this is crazy.

seriously I've read two reviews one by a Old school DAOC player that seems to be a bit fanboi and a sandbox lover wanting the next SWG-pre CU that seemed negative but still had good things to say.

 

Did mythic really do that great of a job?

Guys this game sounds like the second coming, the only dudes left in WoW will be the raiders since WAR seems to be lacking large pve raids.

So many good reviews and good posts, its crazy to see such positive feed back on Mmorpg forums.

Thats because the 'fanbui's' are quick to report any thread that they dont like or bashes their clone, not to mention MMORPG is in Mythics pocket and doesnt want to piss them off so they remove threads as well.

Im sure if you dig deep youll see WAR is your basic level based run-of-the-mill MMO with nothing new to offer the genre.

One thing is for sure, wait till release and then wait till the power levelers start to control RvR and then come back to these forums and watch the 'fanbui' whine fest begin! That will be funny to read!!

Please explain to me how this will work when you need to have PRIOR CONTROL of Tiers 1-3 before you can even start to control Tier 4.

Seriously, this will be the best MMO launch ever.  This will be the most polished launch ever.  If Blizzard made a game with PvP in mind, this would be it.  There are NO bugs that could be even remotley close to being called game breaking.  I haven't had a CTD in over a month on the normal servers.  The only bad rep this game will get is that people will call it a WoW clone, which I will not lie it feels a lot like WoW.

It has it's faults, not many but it does.  Crafting is weak, the differences between mirror classes are "small" which isn't that bad, but I'm sure people will complain.  But seriously, if those are the two biggest concerns this game has it has hit a hole in one IMO.

 I think it really is that good. It is very polished and even in beta its a LOT more stable then a lot of games i have played at launch.

That being said, there are still a few annoying bugs but they are minor on the whole and will be worked out in short order.

The UI does feel WoW-ish..but why try to reinvite the wheel ? I mean the UI is pretty well laid out, clean, and fully customizable.

I have just been playing 1 week, but zero lag and zero crashes so far, honest.  Sometimes when I throw my weapon it does not show it being thrown in the air till it hits the guy, is one of the very few complaints.

And the only "bad" reviews I have read are from disgruntled DaoC vets that were expecting DaoC2 instead of a more "safe" approach that will appeal to the millions of WoW players who need their PvP fix, while still capturing the niche crowd that likes open field RvR with keep and city sieges.

Also those reviews were hardly fair imo, they took every system Mythic has and said what they don't like about it, then they went on to say how much they hated WoW and blah blah blah.

Hes been jumping from thread to thread posting the same thing in every one, regardless of whether it relates to the topic. Keeps yelling about zergs and fanboys and how WAR isn't the 2nd coming. Hes upset about something... I would guess he got banned from beta and is retaliating. Whether its true or not, definitely seems like he has no intention of posting constructively.

If you have played DaoC or WoW battlegrounds, hell even shadowbane back in the days against an all GUILD VoIP enabled opponent and all close to max level then you will understand what im talking about.

Not sure what hes trying to say but you don't need control of tier 1 to attack tier 2 and so on.  You can however only attack/defend the current front line within a tier.

assuming only makes you (well im sure you know), i have posted contructive topics however the INCORRECT number of fanbui posts trying to OVER-HYPE a game that took millions to fund is something i cant let pass and ill continue to post and make my point. So you can read my post or not, its up to you.

Mirrors my thinking, which I just posted a few mins ago. 

The most interesting thing about it, is even the folks posting negs are mostly still getting the game.

Not that I don't agree that everyone has a valid opinion but he references WoW over 15 times in his post then goes on to say- "I hate WoW by the way"

He's an ex-DaoC player that hates WoW, hardly a fair and balanced review.

To be honest I have been trying to think of some negatives but it's hard I've reported maybe 5 minor bugs in a week of play. They do have some minor animation issues with range weapons being out of sync with the actions sometimes. CTD happens for me about once a night. But I have also played 5 hours straight in some large RvR events and not did not have one issue.

The build is tight and optimized about as sight as you can get it I think.  Player balance is working fine average 700 to 800 Order to 900 to 1100 Destruction all the time. Highest population count I so far is capped at 2500 then you queue and I was in less then a minute. Only real thing that will bring the game down is a lack of players and I don't think that is going to happen

We know what you are talking about.  We also know how the actual campaign is structured.  Do the math.  You have a serious problem in your estimations.

 

Your point makes no sense unless the guild are not only literally huge but also CONTINOUSLY span all levels and also do not have substantial opposition on the other side.

 

You think you know what you are talking about, but there are glaring.  Just plain huge problems with your analysis.

 

You are not going from one individual fight to the battle field to the campaign.  At best you can claim that maybe a serious guild could monoplize one tier.  To seriously believe they monopolize all the teirs they would need is beyond the realm of resonability.

 

So prove it.  Prove they can actually go through the ENTIRE process they would need.  Because I bet you cannot show how even an excellent guild can do that without having about 500 people.

60% of people believe the game is great and doesn't need any work, 33% says it needs a little work but they are going to buy it.

93% of beta testers agree that they are going to buy the game.  93/100 people that have played the game like it enough to spend $65.  Numbers speak for themselves.

 

I'm really starting to sound like a fanboy but trust me I am really not, this game is not perfect and it does have it's weaknesses, but its as close to perfect as your going to get for a launch game.
