so, what does the "full" game cost in US dollars

seems to be a secret until you create an account

though i don't consider WAR a game for me (crafting pve guy) these screen shots certainly look like fun

 

nice having the close-up shots but if I understand RVR correctly there should be a massive amount of players doing it - not so many in these pictures - maybe if the shots were from a camera pulled back a bit...........

It seems so obvious...


 

because ganking noobs and attacking lone players with a large group is only fun for a few - you know, players that like to gank noobs or to form large groups to prey on much smaller groups or a lone player out on his own

I have always enjoyed this point in a games development cycle - the bad news after all the hype (can you just imagine what Darkfalls bad news will be at this same point - heheh)

even more enjoyable will be Wars blind fanbois excuses and spin to turn all the broken promises into "good" news

nope - don't  think so

i have

AMD 64bit dual core 4200+

ATI 1900xt 512mb

3 gigs DDR SDRAM

and it doesn't handle the game very well -  18fps in wilderness and about half that in populated areas

Not a stupid hack n slash, not a diablo like. that's why we need boats, houses, guild houses etc.
 

that certainly answered no questions, did it?

Agreed, I don't care what the rok fan boys say, bottom line it sucks and soe knows it sucks because there giveing it away for free, did they give eof away? NO and the reason being is because it was a awesome expansion and there where plenty of people playing. So now we have rok and ALOT of people left because of how bad it sucked so soe is getting desperate and giveing it away for FREE. And no we don't have to take what they give us,I canceled my 2 accounts and went elsewhere.


 

according to SOE, ROK sold more than EOF

It"'s not only a pb of graphics. VG isn't a screen saver... rofl.

-  3 worlds (Kojan Thestra Qualia)

- a lot of classes etc

- very cool classes,  (best ones)

- a lot of dungeons (hard)

- a lot of monsters/ennemies

- + a game in the game = diplomacy (really interesting )

- + another game in the game = crafting. You can create houses, guild houses (you can call them Castles ) Boats

- you can discover all areas all houses all castles, there's a lot of cities (impressive !!!) villages etc etc, take your boat, a griffon a wyvern and discover telon by the air, by the see, with a horse, or swim...

After the concept of

WYSIWIG =What you see is what you get

VG created the concept of

WYSIWYE=What You See Is What you Explore

i find this post interesting as this is usually stuff people mention when they are huffing for VG

what i'm learning from VG after playing for a couple weeks

nonintanced housing - ok, please tell me what your house is good for other than a money sink?  a good storage area?  a place to sell stuff like in EQ2?

boats - you don't actually need them to get anywhere so what is the point?

diplomacy seems to be a waste of a good concept - completely useless from what i can tell and learned from others

crafting - the biggest sore point - seems to be pointless but haven't gotten very far with it yet but from what i understand drops are better

graphics pretty much suck unless you have a high level AOC quality computer system (my card has been able to handle everything thrown at  very well until VG - ATI 1900XT but the CPU is a bit on the slow side compared to new ones) - haven't tried all the tricks yet but will be attempting to the next time i play

and the chunking is horrible!

 

and probably the worse thing is the understandably tiny team of devs working on the game - took almost 2 weeks to fix a game breaking bug introduced by the last update (well, just one of the bugs introduced but the one i cared about)

performance is still greatly lacking and i really hate the chunking that is still going on

i just love it when the whole game freezes for a bit and then restarts with you in the air and then landing onto the new chunk

crafting should be absolutely central to any game with items and equipment

 

That's assuming items and equipment are the main goal of the game.

The main goal of WAR is RvR, and not getting the best gear possible.  Everything in the game will fall along those lines, for example a focal point of guilds will prolly be to work and PVP together effectively, instead of say farming mats for guild crafters, or having a regular 40 man raid sched.

Seems to me you're a dedicated crafter or someone who really enjoys the crafting aspect of a game.  In which case WAR is prolly not the game for you.  Which is cool, to each his own :)

very true i'm afraid  :)

i was more or less responding to a post informing us that all the best items/gear came from RVR so crafting them wasn't necessary

another game that doesn't understand crafting or crafters - so another game i won't be buying

crafting should be absolutely central to any game with items and equipment

is it so hard for developers to read a bit of history or stick their head out of a window and observe the world they live in while creating one of their own?

everything from the highest level to the lowest is/was created/made by someone

 

the best items are from RVR - fine - someone makes that item which can only be used in RVR and can be looted/captured - which means not every race or faction can make the same stuff but they sure can use it

pretty simple huh?

I dont like it either. but we have no right to demand a free trial to the game before the release. thats basically what everyone is wanting.

i certainly demand one

i won't be buying without trying - ever again

if they believe in their game it isn't much of a problem  - if they don't then it is a game to steer clear of

Well OP your post history shows you already discussed in this a similar thread and decided to make another one. Trying to do a bit of viral bashing here are we? Good job.

Lets keep it short and sweet then. You dont like the way they are doing open beta. Then wait it out. The game is not a race you wont lose anything waiting for one of 350k buddy keys that will be floating around, or wait for the trial or possibly wait for another preview weekend.

Good for you dont spend any money whatsoever on this product till you have tried it out. Good day.

Open Beta = Test  - not some F2P type open beta.

Want the priviledge to test, its being host thru fileplanet where you can spend under $8  to do so. OR if your ISP is COMCAST you can get membership .

 what, what what?

this woke me up - where can i find this free membership if comcast is my ISP - how deeply buried is it?

 

Warhammer Online will be going thru IGN fileplanet too. This is nothing new.

got this problem too

more so at work because of the crappy monitor but - c'mon - i'm getting older and the larger font is a big help

is it so difficult to get the text to auto-wrap or whatever it is called?

well, this just fell off the radar

not necessarily because of the microtransactions which i really don't like, though i am willing to see what they have in mind - but because they want me to pay for the box/download for a game using this type of payment model

sorry - it doesn't work that way

though i don't think this is vaporware - until the devs go to a show such as GDC etc, and don't forget to bring their game with them (hehe), most reasonable people will remain skeptical

you must be on a private server then

you can be in the the middle of frikkin nowhere in a system all by yourself and experience painful lag - again, such as long module activation or lengthy movement of inventory among other things - these are server side problems

when you move items from one container/hold to another and you have to wait for it to actually happen - that is lag

when you activate a module and you have to wait for it to actually occur - that is lag

that is EVE - but mostly  on Saturday evening and all day on Sunday (U.S.) or if a fleet battle is happening anywhere in the EVE universe
