I thought this game/event  was awesome and I didnt even really encounter any major bugs or other issues.

I mostly played a Warrior - Paragon/Riftblade/Beastmaster. Nice DPS.

Spore *was* with space ships...

i mean making your own ships look how you want like you can make your own creatures in spore.

 No levels = no lower level mob spawns.

sorry but thats total BS. ofcorse it will have mobs that are lower or higher "level" /  "strength", however you wish to think of it.

if all the mobs are the same strength then there really is no reason to have mobs an just make the game purely pvp with no pve. if a noob with no skill thats just started could kill something someone with high skill levels can then thats just stupid. you have to start somewhere.. like in uo.. you couldent go out right away an kill a dragon, had to smack a few chickens around 1st haha or a goat.. a headless one.. something.. to get your skills up enough to fight something worth while.

i LOVE all things stargate.. but i dunno.. i dont see it doing as well as the OP thinks..

I will probably try it cuz i love sg1 an want to play a scifi mmo. altho i doubt i will play it long unless i get to have my own ship. going thru the stargate, checking out different worlds, thats awesome! but i dont wanna always be stuck on the ground.. i wanna be in space. Thats what i really want is a scifi mmo where i can have my own ship an fly around the universe. (but NOT EvE, fuckin hate that game) about the only thing i liked about eve was the fact i had my own ship(s).. but i did think most of them looked really really stupid.

id really like a scifi mmo where i can design my own ship... that way i wont be stuck in some lame PoS the dev thought looked cool or be flying around in the same ship as 1000 other people.

WAR is SUPPOSED to look like that. It wouldent really be warhammer if they changed the look. Also there would be no way you could RvR with 200 people or whatever if the graphics was super uber. Would be nothing but laaaag. Untill every person has a super computer sitting on thier desks thats just how it is. Honestly sometimes I think people wont be happy untill they are plugged into the matrix. Then again if you want that much realism then the best thing to do is /quit and go outside.. lol

WoW is a good game if your a hardcore PvE'er. I like the game but since I have played it since the day it released im just way to bored of it. However... it is a fact blizz has been ripping off  warhammer since Warcraft: orcs and humans. Why should WAR change its look because another game has been ripping it off?

I didnt feel like reading thru all 6 pages so someone might have said this already.. to the OP's 1st post.. im not 100% positive but im pretty sure mythic has said from the start they was "making a great "game" not a "world"".

not a fanboy. doubt i will even play it for atleast a few months after release. got better stuff in RL to do. but they said at the start this game would have very little crafting. so again ya cant really bitch about it to much. since they told you up front. but the stuff you can make is usefull on the battle field so whats the complaint? like i said this game is all about the rvr. next people will bitch they cant go fishing and bake birthday cakes. dude there are TONS of other games with all that type of stuff. just go play one of those and not bitch about a game thats not about such stuff an never pretended to be:P

Let me get straight to the point, this game has very little end game and they've been covering it up for months tryting to get you hyped with the PvP. Umm they arnt covering it up with PvP, this game IS pvp(rvr). But there's honestly nothing to do after level 40 and renown rank 80. Umm go kill the enemy? I guess you have to be a hard core pvper or atleast a old DAoC player like me.. but after I got max level/RA I never got bored of playing that toon. Running around killin the other realms, taking keeps, taking relics was always fun and never got boring.

End Game:

- Crafting I guess if you like to craft rather than gutting your enemy like a fish...

- Guild Sieging You dont have to be in a guild to rvr or help with a siege. Thought id throw that out there.. either way sieging is fun :P

- Enemy capital city Hmm slaugter the enemy, sack his city, kill his king, open locked areas and quests.. im guess im missing the part where thats not fun? lol

- Scenarios (Gonna be tired of them by lvl 40) Then dont do them, do some real rvr.

Have I missed anything, I mean is there really anything else to do, open world RvR is just like guild sieging, so basically this game has empty end game just like the rest of them. If you don't have a guild, don't plan on seeing good end game because there's not. No competition, nothing, and in the end, they may come out with some type of updates, but I'll be still playing Warhammer because I have a guild, I don't know about u guys, nothing really in this game besides guild competition.

No competition? Are you nuts? Order vs Chaos! There will always be competition unless one side suddenly never logs into the game for some reason lol and I dont get what you mean about guild competition, this isnt AoC, this is WAR and its about order vs chaos.. good vs evil.. RVfreakinR! not guild vs guild. Sounds like you want to play a game like WoW or something.. where once you work your ass off to get max level an good gear they slap you in the face with some retarded expantion and make you grind all over again for levels and gear. Personaly I hate that crap. If I wanted to grind again id make a new toon to level up. Annoys the hell out of me they take your hard earned toon and make him suck all over again. WAR does have end game, its called RVR! Thats always what the game has been about. That fact has never been hidden. No one has any right to complain about lack of anything else beyond rvr since you go into the game knowing what its about. Thats like playing hello kitty online an then complaining you cant decapitate fellow players and drink thier blood.

gotcha.

Very true. I always find it funny how people go all boohoo about grinding and want a skill based game but you STILL have to grind in one way or another to get your skill up. Take UO for example, I was a long time UO player.. and I cant even remember how many hours a day I spent fireballing myself to get resist up an shit like that. Way to many fuckin hours tho I asure you that lol. About the best way to do it was macro skills and gain while you sleep or expliot a bug (like the blade spirit bug before they fixed it to get resist up).. but then you run the risk of getting your account banned an shit. I wasted more hours of my life trying to get 7xgm skills in UO than I ever have getting to max level in any other game. lol

Dont get me wrong I like skill based games. UO was the shit! But its still a grind no matter how you look at it in ANY game no matter if its skill based or level based. About the only way to get around the grind is if they give you max skills/level as soon as you start your character. But that would be lame. Sure they could just make leveling skills or levels up super fast and easy but then that would get kinda lame too.. cuz if there is no challenge.. whats the point of even playing?

When it comes to the grind there is no difference when it comes to..

"woot! finaly dinged 20!"

"woot! finaly got .5 more skill in (insert skill name here)"

Now im not bashing skill based games at all. They have good points to them over some level based games. Just saying when it comes to the grind its pretty much all the same.

I laugh when I see people quote the "WoW has 10 mill subs" thing.

A large chunk of that is from asia so it doesnt count imo.

Not being racist by any means, i'll count the ones who actually play the game like normal. Im talking about the fuckin gold farmers an such that need to be murdered and rot in hell lol.

i thought it was 2 classes an 4 cities? what where the classes cut?

edit: nevermind, someone posted the classes right before my post.

unfortunately there is no target or best buy near me. id have to drive a few hundred miles for that. Walmart is the only place in this town to buy games :(

"Players can get into the WAR open beta by pre-ordering Warhammer Online from select retail partners. Participants of the closed beta will automatically be granted open beta access."

So.. you have to pre-order or have been in closed beta to get into open beta? thats not really an "open beta" imo...

At what point are they going to give everyone a shot at trying it if ever? Id like to give this game a go before I run out an buy/pre-order it and would be pretty awesome if I found some bugs no one has found yet.

Call me crazy but this seems like "closed beta v2" rather than a open beta lol

 

Beta testing is for finding bugs, not for trying the game out to see if you like it.  The "open" in open beta means that there is no NDA or other restriction in place, not that it's free to anyone who wants in.

No shit sherlock. It wasnt really about getting to try it out. Id love to run around and find some bugs an stuff.

Its just this isnt really an open beta and the NDA was lifted a long time ago.

Sorry.. but thats the most dumbass concern about playing an online game I have ever heard. lol

I havent got to play the game yet but if you dont need to sit down to regen hit points or magic ect.. then it doesnt really need a sit command.. why do you NEED to /sit? Some wierd kind of OCD?

graphic whores..

because some people wont be happy untill they are plugged into the matrix lol

if they speed up the combat to a insane pace they better drop the damage done cuz i dont want battles to last a few seconds. i want a good 10-15 second or so battles.

seriously tho if i log on at some point and tanks wearing hundreds of pounds of armor an wielding big ass swords are swinging 100 swings a second like they are shooting up a combo of steriods/meth i will personaly murder everyone who bitched about combat speed in thier sleep... with my mad ninja skills:P

I am no fanboy of anygame I just believe that Funcom and AOC is the best thing out right now. Maybe in 6-12 months War may prove to be close but you really cant come close to where AOC is at right now. Blizzard even admitted they lost 60% of their sub base to AOC so that means only 40% returned to WOW. AOC has proven time and time again that it is the best and will continue its dominance for a long time to come

After all his other posts an after reading that.. im compleatly convinced Protus-AoC smokes crack. Probably provided by FunCom.. I mean they gotta give something out to keep even hard core aoc fanbois around cuz its defenetly not the game.. lol Im thinking they give him a free rock for every person he lures to aoc. Doubt anyone is taking the bait tho and hes going thru bad withdrawls.. thats why hes comming up with insane stuff like "wow lost 60% subs to aoc" hahaha

I'll give him an A for effort but an F for the crack induced tactics.

Edit: Ohh... and.. 60% of wow would be like 6 mill. aoc didnt even sell 1 mill and most of those people left so they got like what? 200 or 300k sub base? NEVER smoke crack and do math at the same time!

Im going to try it just for the fact its Startrek lol huge fan of ST. And I have been wanting to play a space type mmo. Tried EVE but couldent really get into it. Annoyed me I couldent really customize my ships in that game.. the look an such. Alot of the ships really looked lame and couldent see INSIDE of it or anything lol. Watched the intervew about STO an seems we will be able to customize the look of the ship inside and out so hell yeah I will give it a go.
