Hopefully Vigil (Not to be confused with Sigil that did VG) will make Warhammer 40k MMO like PS.

By Crom, I'll give up one of my 2 WAR beta accounts!

No am not pre ordering myself , ive watched all the latest video's , encluding the ranger one. And its the most poorly animated and boring looking combat ive seen in quite awhile

 

Hello mr Troll, how are you today?

lol

Oh no, someone doesn't agree with you! They must be a troll!

 

 

LOL

When he says it's poorly animated and the combat looks boring, he either

 

A. Has no clue what combat or animations are.

or

B. Is a troll.

Look for one thing am not trolling the game or even bashing it . Pretty hard to bash a game ive never played, alls am saying is nothing ive seen impresses me enough to run out and pre- order the game . I hope the game turns out for you guys i really do  But myself i can wait till its been out for abit before i decide to play it nothing wrong with that

I like how on Vent or whatever voice chat they were using they didn't talk about how cool AoC was (clearly more than one of them was in beta) but they wanted to go play Doom 3! So to those beta testers Doom 3 > AoC.

Also, I noticed the arrow animations shooting off to the side and not heading towards the target. Isn't there supposed to be a first person perspective when shooting an arrow? I didn't see it in the video.  I hope there is an anti-kite code placed in the game as well, looks like the ranger toon had no problem outrunning those mobs and being able to turn around and shoot.

I can garuntee you won't be able to play this game on a labtop.  Even if I'm proven wrong, you will most likely get extreme lag.  MMORPG's really are meant to be played on home machines.

Wrong! Dell XPS M1710 running unoptimized beta better than fine.

Free for all pvp? Since when? I read PVP was instanced.

The pvp raids I hate the idea you'll insta spawn and just run right back in like some cheesy deathmatch. Is this Age of Conan, or Age of Callofduty?

I will wait to see the game when it releases. I will give it a fair shot, but my hopes are not high for staying with it.

It will be a plesent supprise if I am wrong.

My sights are most on Fallen Earth at the moment. I'm sick of fixed character classes.

Since the start.

 

If there is a PvP type server PvP is everywhere with only cities/ hubs being safe places (looting still to be detirmined)

From all indications the Sieging is not instanced too. You will Spawn upon death (penelty to be decided still) it could be you spawn further and further away or have a time limit imposed before you can attack again maybe 2 mins. How would you have it? 1 death and your out? give it a think over..

I hope you do get plesantly suprised from the game and put your inital negative thoughts to the side when you play it and keep an objective mind :)

I did give it a think over. So if the attacker keeps respawning while seiging, its basically recycling your attacks until the enemies walls fall? Seems like the attacker always has the advantage, and the only way for a defense is to hope the attackers get called away.

What is the situation with the Ratings Boards and Open Beta? you just can't let everyone in...

The game will be rated 18+ in many countries..

 

 

 

No, but you can use a service like Fileplanet that requires a membership with a credit card.

Same here, just a side stepping shadow.

AOC will be because its an actual departure from the norm for mmos. WarHammer seems to be and hopefully the final attempt at cloning WoW. I see warhammer as a full version of the battlegrounds of WoW's pvp Instances.

 

You're wrong in all counts.

 

WAR will not have instanced dungeons. AoC will.

WAR will have true world PvP with actual open-world guild-claimable keeps and sieges as well as capital city sackings with global impact. AoC PvP (meaningful bit, that is) takes place exclusively in instances.

In WAR you gain XP through both PvP and PvE while in AoC you get it from PvE exclusively.

WAR will have a much less steep power curve with regards to levels and gear. Three characters at level 10 will be able to kill a character at level 40 (max).

 

So which game is more similar to WoW? DX10, mounted combat and boobs doth not a revolution make.

Please do inform yourself a bit. Screenshots aren't everything you know.

 

WAR is much more similar to WoW. Instances were in MMO's prior to WoW, and I will guarantee you that WAR will not be seamless. AoC has sieges as well, and IIRC had them before WAR did.

 

DX10, Mounted Combat, "Real-Time Combat," the art direction, the PvP, the Siege, the mounts and their characteristics,  and the voice overs are all things very different from WoW, and I left out quite a bit of things.

Yeah, mounted combat, seen the videos, mounted caverly running right through infantry! Collision detection FTW, guess who has it? WAR.

As a Black Orc, my cape will be woven with stuntie beards!

Isn't the city building/guild forts instanced?

Whats great about a Games Workshop IP is the fact that they enforce the IP on game developers, not a lot of straying from the lore.  I just hope it isn't a 40k MMO where everyone can be a Space Marine/Chaos Marine. In all actuallity, I think a Necromunda MMO or an Inquisitor setting would work the best. To include the most playable races on one planet (if thats the setting) they would probably use Armegeddon as a planet.

I just hope it comes out before Blizzards next MMO (Starcraft Online) so we don't have to hear how 40k is ripping off the Starcraft IP.

Are those gameplay shots or doctored up publicity shots to increase hype?

Regardless if they are all found or not, it gives another area for people to grind or do whatever as opposed to at X level this is where you need to be.

How did you slip a AoC & WAR post in without an Acolyte member running in to defend AoC?

Warhammer 40k is in development by Vigil games, not Sigil games which messed up Vanguard.

Those Shadowbane guilds will have a lot of practice waiting for DF...

Anyone seen any other news on this than whats been posted on Vigil Games website?

The fact that WAR has more threads and topics of discussion just tells me more children are posting.

 

And this is where I quit taking anything else you wrote seriously. Stop posting, you give a bad name to the majority of level-headed and mature AoC fans.

Agreed right out.

 

I plan to play both. I do play Warhamer tabletop. I have read alot of the Warhammer books and the Conan books.  I'm not positive, I have count them all and add them up(not counting game codex) and there may be more Warhammer books than Conan. Its a close number I'm sure of that.

I don't think playing Warhammer automatically makes me a basement dwelling person. I still have far more manners and moral fortitude to not insult a massive base of people for some unforseen personal issue that makes me overreact and be rude. On the internet no less. I know doctors, lawyers, shool teachers, professional artist, and airplane pilots who live in my city who play Warhammer weekly and we are good friends. Many of whom will be playing WAR when it comes out in their free time.

Caligulug, you should try and act like the supposedly mature person you are and less of your inner troll.

Don't forget to add in 20+ years of White Dwarf magazine...

Let's face it, what Blizzard is best at is taking an existing idea, copying it, wrapping it up in their own stuff and then polishing it, making it accessible for masses and outshining the original.

Once upon a time they saw Dune 2 and thought how great it would be with the Warhammer setting. When getting the setting didnt go well, they just made their own copy based on it. And success it was.

After 2 games they decided that something like WH40k wouldnt hurt too and just for the heck of it they merged it with Alien and Predator and StarCraft was born.

W3 was another logical step in the 3D era. And after that the best and worst thing to ever happen to MMOs, taking Everquest, applying Diablo system to it and placing it in Warcraft universe, WoW was born.

Every game just enhanced, polished and very accessible version of an existing blueprint.

So my question is, what do you guys think will be the next MMO from Blizzard based on? Can we hope this time they make for example EVE clone? Or just Everquest with guns and lazers again? Or even *gasp* something entirely original?

EDIT: Just to make it clear, game system wise, setting is most probably SC :)

Not true.  Diablo and Warcraft I were very original games, nothing like them really at the time they were released.  Starcraft was not copied off of Warhammer, it's simply Warcraft in space.  I'm certain they were influenced by Warhammer, but there was no Warhammer RTS at the time so they did not just copy a game.  You're hypothesis is based on faulty logic in my opinion.

You dont have to have a game already developed to have your IP copied...
