If WAR had launched with maybe 6 or 7 servers, and had better end-game content, I think it would have been much, much more successful.

I didn't think it was a bad game. It was actually pretty fun. I just got annoyed because I always felt like I was the only person in the whole damn world. It was like playing a single player game. There was hardly ever any open-world PvP battles, but when there was, it was freaking fun! Which also makes me believe that they should have focused alot more on open-world PvP instead of scenarios.

Mythic made some pretty heavy mistakes, and in the end they paid for it. I mean really, whose decision was it to launch with like 60 servers? They were already getting waaaaay too ahead of themselves...

I agree with you when you say that you travel in stages (chapters), however, I would not say that there's minimal character development. I actually think there's plenty. Maybe you're just not thinking hard enough?

Judging by what I experienced, I'd say the Squig Herder and the Magus were probably the most underpowered. Not that they weren't fun to play, they just did not do very much dmg at all. Survivability wasn't very good either on both of them. But there's alot of complaints being made about these 2 classes so we'll see what happens.

I loved it! I spent a year waiting for this game and feels great knowing that it was worth it. Cannot wait until Thursday!

For some reason my xfire sig didn't calculate my time played but don't worry, I assure you I was there!

I think part of the reason for PQ's being so deserted in Tier 2+ is because many of the people in beta, like myself, are not even going to bother getting past about lvl 10 since it means nothing and the characters get wiped anyways. Hopefully we'll see alot more people doing them at launch.

Failed? Ok first of it hasn't even released... what kind of a ridiculous assumption is that? Secondly, I think it's a great game, and RvR is freakishly fun for me. With a few fixes here and there this game will really shine. 

Beyond that... again goes back to the play factor and the long term play factor... most MMO's take a few years to actually generate profit... Do you see yourself playing WAR for the next 5 years? as an example.

Well, having only gotten up to rank 8, I have no idea what to expect for the future. I have no experience with end-game content so at this point I have no idea how long I see my self playing WAR. Because really, it all comes down to how the game is after you've reached max rank. So we'll see.

Where in Canada do you live? I'm assuming Montreal becuase of your name

The EB games I went to didn't have OB codes either. I didn't ask them about the release date though, and now since you said this I'm beginning to worry...

18 and most likely going destruction.

This is odd, Order seems to be outnumbering Destruction by quite a bit in this poll.

warhammer 40k ^_^ if they made a mmo/fps/rpg based off warhammer 40k HOLY HELL it would rock.. ^_^ though hard to balance if they added half the powerhouse units haha

Well luckily a 40k MMO is in development right now by THQ I think. I'm really anxious to see what their plans are for that game. I love the Warhammer 40k universe, maybe even more so than the fantasy.  But yea it will be interesting to see what they can make of that IP.

I strongly believe that WAR will be a successful MMO so no worries there. However, if I somehow lose interest or decide not to play anymore for whatever reason, then I guess the only other option is the next WoW expansion unfortunately. Atleast until something better comes out...

Apoligize because they saw a video? Why don't you just wait until beta starts to see what the reactions are? And then make this thread... if it actually proves to be decent.

Darkfall just released a new 17 minute video. It has some cool stuff. Ship battles, floating platforms to attack player built cities.  It looks a lot better than WAR at this point. And i prefer the realistic graphics to this cartoony stuff .  Of course we will have to see how beta goes

Dear God no. I am having the hardest time ever trying to understand how everyone thinks that video is so good. It looks like a game from 10 years ago.

Darkfall fans , can i have some of drugs you are using ?

lol, I too would like to try some...

I think they look great. However, there WILL, and always WILL, be people saying that it looks exactly like WoW. That's ignorance for ya...

Don't bother trying to change people minds, it's a lost cause.

Preview Weekend Update - The Update!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Folks,

Well, things have been, as usual, busy here at Mythic so I have lots of news to share. So, without further ado and no SNL references, here's the update on my update:

1) Significantly improved NPC pathing - Okay, in all fairness it wouldn't have taken much to improve on what we showed you folks during the PW. However, the NPC pathing is back to where it needs to be and while it still isn't perfect, well, it's a heck of a lot closer than it was just a short time ago. We identified a whole lot of bugs and squashed them.

2) Improved pet commands and responsivness - Well, pretty much same as above. Pets will no longer act as if obeying an order from you was the last thing in this world that they wanted to do.

3) Fixed an issue with textures blurring - Nothing like looking at textures through a blurred lens to make things look really sharp eh? Major improvements in and more OTW.

4) Enhanced Global Cooldown Mechanic - Well, for one the GCD actually shows the correct cooldown time and not the rounded up cooldown time (Hey, what a great idea, let's make it seem slower than it is. WOOT!). The slop timer is working fine right now and we'll continue to look at making the GCD and combat in general more responsive.

5) Continuing to improve Client Stability - As always, lots of fixes going in here. The client is supposed to be more stable (and looks like it so far) but until we get the masses back in...

6) Added new Graphics Settings and seeking more feedback from testers to guide future improvements. You asked for it, you got it. Well, in all fairness we were going to put these in anyway but it never hurts to nudge us a bit at times.

7) Target Nearest Target improved - Yeah! One of my pet peeves addressed.

8) Renown Gear changes and Potency of Potions increased. Tweaking, adding, subtracting, in other words (don't say "nerf", we're still in beta!) balancing.

9) Increased bonus for medal winners in PQs. PQs are supposed to be fun, joyous and not grindy. We'll continue tweaking and changing them wherever we need to do that to make it so #1. (okay, a ST reference)

10) Added more loot bags in Tier 1 PQs - Boy, it's going to be rather crowded when we launch so we just upped the loot for the Tier 1 PQs. We'll do the same to T2 as needed. And when the rush is over, we'll tweak downwards.

So, in terms of some other good stuff, lots and lots and lots of bugs fixed and lots of new stuff added to the ToK. But wait, there's more and we'll address some of it next week as well as more coming info in the next update.

Oh, and there's still no such thing as a miracle patch so don't expect one here. Just a ton of fixes, additions and adjustments. We have another major patch coming as well before launch. We don't believe in miracle patches (miracle whip is a whole other subject) here at Mythic but simply hard work and a talented team.

Much respect to my team that is really doing one heck of a job getting things ready for launch.

Mark

His opinion is wrong? Your quite the douche if you decide whether his opinions are right and wrong. Fanboism of the highest calibur.

 

Next time copy/paste the whole thing, or spend 2 more seconds to read the rest to understand in how I meant it. And your fanboy comment is just proof of your ignorance as you seem to have no clue about me.

 

shut up and go back to WAR fanboy

lol! With a name like "ILuvWoW" I think you should be the one to shutup.

Ok, haven't you made like 5 different threads complaining about how boring the game is? Why do you keep doing that? How much attention do you want?

Edit: Sry 3 threads

But to me that looks like a Rhino puked a Fruity Pebbles factory down a mudslide.

So you're saying a Rhinosaurus physically puked out a factory where they make fruity pebbles and then somehow in the mix of all that it created a mudslide?
