hmmm im a bit confused, see ive played wow and many other mmos out there...and yes i do see a similarity war has towards wow....but i really dont know why everyone compares those two.

imo war seems to be a lot closer to lotro than it is to wow....maybe im just missing something, idk.

well anyway ive gotta say, i love this game...now if only i could get it to run without lag, meh ill just upgrade instead lol

"I am also pretty sure Blizzard's WoW is the reigning king of all the MMOs"

Yes, without any doubt, but only because it is so popular not because it is so great. It is popular because of the reasons I stated earlier not because it is the best MMO ever. As far as one game copying another, they all copy from one another and most focus on wow because they want to use a successful MMO for reference not a failure. I don't understand why more companies don't increase their marketing budget.

WoW Vs WAR = beating on a dead horse = off topic

Please, let WAR mature a bit further - anyway this all depends on points of view, tastes, etc... so no real point in bashing WoW or bashing WAR. Not worth your and specially my time to even compare them.
It's just games, so have fun with whatever you fency.

Now to the topic of this thread. I found that I actually had fun with those battles and yeah it all depends if your in a guild (vent users), knowing a bit of the games strategic, server, time, people you play with. I may be wrong but I don't think Order is weaker than Destruction or the other way around which is good btw.

Cheers and see you on the battlefield!

Blood for the Blood God!

yeah we were off topic a bit but I am not bashing either game. I have had fun playing both games. WAR is going to be a blast.  I think it is far too early to tell how balanced things are. I do think balancing is a huge task and I think Mythic has got things close already.

Hmm.. I wasn't refering to anyone in particular nor did I even looked at the posters' names. It just that it is a bit tiring to have witness so many WoW vs WAR threads/posts since around '06 to '08 specially when its getting off topic.
But yes, I totally agree with you when you said that it's going to be a blast and that is really too early to tell how balance things are... Hell it's still beta. And yes, balancing is a tremendous task to deliver.
Mythic has learn a big deal with DoAC, we all know this imho but not only that. They also pretty much closely followed Games Workshop's IP with its RPG pen & paper/Table top rules, like morale as an example, which are actually balanced. But then again that's not a MMO. So, yes, let's see what this will all bring and like I said earlier, let WAR mature a bit (WoW and all other games have gone through the same process of trial and error - like you start as a noob to finally own the game).

Cheers and enjoy WAR!

Dam i hate these stupid WoW vs every MMO that has  been and will be released, they are all just WoW addicts not willing to try any other game because they will go cold turkey :P

By the way.. i'm not a WoW hater, just a other game lover :)

hmm, I think I've seen them before, Warsong, Arathi..... nothing new

There has to be a better way to match teams than using a crumby player queue. Maybe a battle.net type interface like in Starcraft and Diablo?

I can't wait for realm vs realm again. That was so much fun in DAoC. Hopefully it all works out.

No scenario "Favors" one side over the other. When you have good players on both sides, either side can win. NW is a joke cause thats where the massive open world zerg is. So all those players are joining up and going in. So now you have a large amount of bad players in the scenario. Order tends to guild in EvC area cause with a good guild group its easy to take apart the zerg of destruction.

So now you have guild groups fighting pugs in that scenario. 90% of the time I run with my guild, and we will win scenarios 5 out of 6 times regardless of the scenario. By you saying this all order players are going to queue in NW only cause they think it gives them an advantage. Thanks for making the least fun scenario popular.

Re WOW bgs comments- they werent implemented for over a year after release.  Oh and you didnt get XP you got some crap gear that you would have outgrown if you did pve.

I don't see any bias in terms of Terrain in any of these scenarios- it just depends on the team.

I don't see any bias for either realm you will  get a mix of players from each side not just your own race.

Scenarios are a small but fun part of the game.   Personally I intend to use them extensively to level because  if you plonk yourself in a PQ area, you can alternate between PQ and scenarios.
