While I really do enjoy the thought of seeing an actual release date, I wouldn't get too overly excited as that could just be an estimate on EA's part. If it indeed is the real date, then I'm sure we'll hear about it in the newsletter in just a few days. Hold on to your hats!

Good article. I like how he finished it off - "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a contender." Always nice to read some positive feedback 

Well if 3 (and then later on 4) of the simplest BG's ever created in the history of mankind ended up keeping the attention of millions of people worldwide for 4 long years, then I don't see why keep and city capturing, along with the 30 or 40 something scenarios and battlefield objectives should have a problem. 

Btw I'm not giving WAR nearly enough credit just by listing those things. There are several more I just don't feel the need to mention them because it would just be a waste of time. I think I know some people like you.

Here, I have a comparison in my favourites for moments like these.

To finish, like many of you I pre-ordered the game, but I tell you want I am willing wait another 6 months and  play a game the content I was promised since 2006. Rather  than plaing a game based on what I consider  a rush semi completed product based on a financial decision.

 

Well sure, that's easy for you to say, you're in the damn beta!

lol seriously though, I see what you're getting at but I have waited waaay too long to play this game. At this point, I'll take whatever I get. (As long as it's acceptable to me)

Your standards are pretty low.

Go watch the Gears of War 2 trailer and then go watch the Warhammer Online's one lol........ pretty hard to not throw up at Warhammer Online.

This is probably among the stupidest comments I have ever heard on any forum...

Hmm... I must say, even after all the disappointment I felt yesterday and today, reading Mark's post eases my pain. That's not to say that I've completely gotten over it, but I can feel my hype slowly rising again.

It would be nice if weather effects did do something like. Going against heavy storm wind slow you down but going opposite direction actually make your character faster. Ranged DPS classes would be able to turn it benefit.

That would be an awesome level of realism but I would hate to be the person who had to come up with the program that would be able to do that.

lol... Good point

Missing a few classes still...

Actually only one. Although it's probably already finished, they just haven't told us what it is yet.

Animations are the key to good gameplay in MMOs.  Sadly thats where WAR is lacking atm.  Just look at that warrior priest and wonder how tired u be of seeing it stand in that position for the next 2 years....  But it might explain why the arms look way to long and will probalby in the end get all the way to the ground - holding that heavy mace....

Its just poor.  Very poor.  Animations need huge amount of work.  

Seriously, April fools is in 5 days so this could all be a joke. Although I might just be saying that out of desperation. But still, you never know!

So what would you do if it was?

Omg people still complain about this? Wow... I absolutely do not see the problem with having the community manage their own fansites, they're just as good. If Mythic doesn't want to babysit people then good for them.

You keep talking about DAOC, and it looks very good. But there are two things that bugger me:

1) DAOC was designed when player's community was much more engaged in the game and was eager to learn and suffer and do epic battles. Nowadays, players just want "fun", which means zero tolerance to grinding or suffering in any form. Leading to boringness in a matter of few months.

2) Developers have stated that there won't be much need for pure healers because the health recovery will be very fast. That could mean nothing, or could mean that the game is leaning towards a low punishment combat, which makes sense taking into account point 1).

Grinding is something that players decide upon. If you dont want to grind, then dont. Who said you needed to? Sure you may not be as strong and powerful as the guy with the big uber sword, but that's no reason to not be competitive. Especially since in WAR, most of the time you will find yourself fighting with groups of people, rather then alone.

And im not sure what you speak of when you say no suffering in any form. It's not like there's gonna be super duper CC's where your character is completely lost for a whole 20 seconds. Even the death penalty is alot less severe then most other games. From what we've seen you spawn and the safe point. So no corpse running or xp loss or anything of that nature. So what is this suffering exactly?

Didn't understand your second point clearly enough, so i'll leave it to someone else.

Wow those are very nice screens. Loved the first one. Though I have to agree the purple boots are bleh...

don't............believe.........the.........hype

Just.....judge.....for....yourself.....then......decide.

  

That is exactly what everyone here has done... judged for themselves and then decided they want to play WAR... What on earth are you trying to accomplish with this statement?

Gratz to you OP, and to you too Impyriel. I checked my beta status upon reading your post and still nothing. Signed up on the first day also. Oh well make us proud you two.

I propose Mythic just stops making the VoTM because obviously people are too stupid to actually pay attention to the damn thing...

starting to get worried now cause the animations still are all jerky and horrible, oh well i hope it's all polished by launch. Also in the fights everyones just standing still and seems really slow and boring, i hope you can run about to try and stop the enemies attacks like in WOW.

Anyways great vids.
