What's the fun in it if no blood is being spilt and outlandish claims aren't being made?

I wouldn't imagine anyone would care, its a gaming forum for !@#$s sake.

btw, if you couldn't see through the sarcasm, or can't read english I basically said "I'm a troll, thanks for feeding me!"

NOT!  I thoroughly enjoyed all of the speculation this year that AoC and WAR might stand up to WoW, because I believed they wouldn't stand a chance.  Secretly, I was kind of rooting for the underdog, which is why I went out and bought WAR, cancelling my WoW account.  But now I'm back where I expected to be... cancelling WAR after a month and reactivating my WoW account.  I think Blizzard has just had too much time to polish their game and make a bunch of money to pump out new content that just keeps getting better and better.  Graphics aren't everything, especially in MMOs.  Hell, look at this game I used to enjoy back in the 90s and maybe you'll see why:

If WAR ever becomes better than WoW, I estimate it would take at least a year for the developers to polish WAR up enough to stand a chance.  Even then, they wouldn't have the financial resources and WoW would just be that far ahead of them again.

Hahaha the OP is still here? I thought he'd be off making 10 identical posts in other forums by now. Hmm

Why would I do that?

- REMOVE SCENARIOS COMPLETELY;

I think I can dig your other points, but this one makes absolutely no sense.  Scenarios are the only thing that makes this game somewhat interesting for me.

Well thought-out review.  I would like to add that cross-realming the scenarios might sort the queue times out.  I agree with most of your points here.  I also find it amusing that I made a rather unclear and undeveloped thread titled "This Game Is Crappy" which got 40+ replies, while this one is much better and has none, until now.  I guess people are more attracted to trolling than constructive reviews.

On an unrelated note, you have 3 chars on wow....All with brutal gladiator gear!? Holy crap, its tedious enough getting one char, whatever floats ya boat i guess.

Not really.  I would just make sure to get 10 games a week on all 3 of my characters, and do the daily battleground as often as possible.  The leveling took more time than the gearing.  While gearing these characters I put in less than 10 hours a week.  I'm not playing WoW anymore though.

To all of you idiots:  It's spelled fanboy.

I've queue'd during all hours of the day, from the middle of the afternoon to the wee hours of the morning.  It's either a low pop server or a full one which takes so long to get into it's not even funny.  I'm not switching servers either, I've leveled my toon now Mythic should have combined my server with another, but they didn't.  This is a monumental failure, and cancelled accounts will be the response of many.

WoW has been out for almost 4 years, not 10.

WAR: Online has been in development for at least 3 years.  WoW has been in development for a bit longer, but that still doesn't excuse this pathetic attempt at a game.

We expected a sweet game to carry on the legacy of WoW and other solid MMOs, but this game sucks.  That's why we're upset.

I bought the game expecting a lot of PvP fun, but I've decided to cancel my account after the first free month.  The gameplay is blocky and unpolished, and it takes forever to get a scenario queue on my server, not to mention only one of the three scenarios at tier 2+ even have enough players queue to get something going.  The world PvP is incredibley lame, the seige system sucks.  I won't be returning until this they smooth most of the issues out, but as bad as they are in the current state, I'm expecting this to take at least a year.

Dear Mythic,

Don't release games that still feel like they're in the early stages of beta testing.  I hope you'll learn your lesson when half of your subscribers cancel their accounts in November for a game that's succeeded in most aspects where you have failed.  I may come back in a year if you get your sh*t together, but by that time I'll probably be too occupied with much better games.

We're not talking about hype.  We're talking about the ratings for games that have already been released.

But why?

I swear there were at least 20 games that had a user rating of 8 or better, and that seemed to change around the time Warhammer was released (now they are all in the 7s), do the other ratings scale down on this site when one game gets rated higher or what?

I'm playing on a server called Tower of Doom which supposedly has a medium population of both factions, but the only time you can world PvP or get a scenario queue is the 2-3 hours during prime time.  I'm playing at the first tier (1-11) which most players are still at.  I'm starting to wonder why I should I even bother continuing to play this game...  I have to wait in an hour queue to get in a populated server or I don't really get to PvP at all?  Why don't these morons take a hint from other MMOs and get crossrealm instancing for PvP going? 

**Not to mention the stupidity of having to fly to each location to queue for a scenarios, the black screening that occurs half the time you minimize WAR, among many other almost game-breaking bugs**

There's no such thing silly.

I pay 50$ for the game, and there isn't even a month or two of free time attached, you have to pay your subscription immediately.  What's more, my !@#$ing CD isn't installing because it came scratched out of the box, WTF??

I don't know about this game.  The PvP and Public quests seem alright, but I have a feeling they'll get boring quick.  The gameplay is fragmented and the combat animations are very blocky.  A lot of my friends are going to be playing it, so I'll probably end up playing it as well.  If I'm not enjoying it, I'll cut my losses and cancel my subscription.  Could be a waste of money, but problem solved.

well being a person who played EQ,EVE,GuildWars,ACE,PerfectWorld and more my take on warhammer is it sucks the game was a cheap rip off of GuildWars and the hype was undeserving. i canceled my pre-order and will not play it. it also Lacked in other areas like smoothe graphics, lac of race or classes and it made me feel while playing closterphobic like it was all packed in too close. this is my opinion and hopefully it will save somone else 45$

 

another saviour of the gameing community, so glad you are hear to make my mind up for me.

That's his personal opinion of the game which he makes very clear.  Learn to think for yourself and learn to spell.

I think the word "clone" has been thrown around a bit too loosely here.  Almost all fantasy MMO's are based off of Tolkien lore.  And as far as content are concerned, does anyone have any real innovative ideas for what developers of these MMOs could do differently?  I don't really care if this game is a so called "clone" of every other game, I just want polish and smooth out the gameplay, so that I can have some fun with RvR as I sometimes do with PvP in WoW, under the right circumstances.

......oh and no I was not fortunate enuff you get in beta I reserved a copy but the dam gamestop was out of the numbers for open beta and even tho I was signed in to the newsletter since 2006 I never got a chance to get in sadly. As I said say what you will but I'll still play it because WoW has lost my interest I got burnt out on it and dont really see myself going back.

So you reserved a copy and didn't even get in the beta?  I didn't even preorder... I simply signed up for chances to get beta keys on a few websites... I ended up with two EU and one US key.  I'm glad I got this chance to see that I don't like this game so I won't have to waste my money.
