I agree 100% with Moroth, I was shocked at how old this game looked. I do not play warcraft but did try it out. (so no need to make comments, I broke my leg and my man told me to find something to play so I've been looking)  Females are not going to play this game, We need more then you men do. The toons are horrible, making them is horrible, the game looks like I am trying out one that is already 10 years old. Reminds me of when I tried out the Everquest demo 2 years ago. If AOC gets fixed then that would be my pick and I lost interest in that because of the PVP. Warhammer should have been so much better, obv it can be done so why does it look like that?!

Why is the concept of this MMOs graphics style eluding some people? This is not a situation where you can have your cake and eat it to. You are not going to get AoC graphics in a massive PvP game of this type. It just can't work! And never mind the game play because we all know graphics>game play, right?

Looking at this pic, are you really suggesting this looks like a game of 10-years ago? High res textures aren't even in yet. Lighting and shadows are going to be tweaked. The texture blurring is still an issue but it's something Mythic openly recognizes as a problem and commented on getting it fixed. It's a beta!

How did you get your key? Pre-order? Web site give away?

Believe me, a little rain or bad weather isn't going to take a datacenter down. That's for sure.

OB isn't until Sunday. If you were lucky enough to get in to PW, then your account was flagged and you were allowed in to PW+, which that started today. I would imagine only those flagged for preview weekend can patch at this point.

Well, it's simple, are you a Final Fantasy XI fan boy who loves to do nothing but PvE end game? Endless PvE end game with other people, events, fun, and great armor customization.

That is not what Warhammer Online is about, it's about the competition, the PvP, the RvR, the working together to create a common goal, scenarios. The Public Quests, crafting, raiding, and other PvE content is what is required in ALL MMORPGs, but to be frank with you guys, if you don't like PvP, this isn't the game for you.

So, I believe that this game is gonna be light on End Game PvE, and that's good, but for those who are heavy PvE, might not be the game for you.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

I have to disagree with your opinion that if you don't like PvP, you won't like WAR.

I am one of the PvE'ers that hated PVP. I say that in past tense because after preview weekend, it changed the way I felt about PvP. I had an absolute blast doing RvR. For the first time, I comitted to a play style that I always bypassed in other MMOs. There are many more like myself. If anything, I think WAR bridges this gap and makes the experience fun and rewarding.

I say if you don't like PvP, then definitely give WAR a chance because it may change the way you feel about PvP like it did for me. I had a great time and it left me wanting more when the weekend was over.

I like options...leave it alone.

Its Wrong? Why because you say it is wrong. Give me a name of a well known successful business that gives into demands and pleases every last customer. I can name a few that are very successful and don't operate under conditons like that. WAL MART, Time Warner Cable, Comcast to name a few that have plenty of complaints from their customers. Theres demands for Wal Mart to allow Unions, but have they caved in because people are demanding it? No. Time Warner and Comcast.. The top 2 Cable and internet providers have many complaints from people about their cable bills, about paper views that they never ordered showing up on their bills, some have the issues resolved and some don't and these businesses lose plenty of these customers every day and yet they are still in business.
People have more success with issues when they approach them like adults and not like children who think they should get whatever they ask for just because they are demanding it or because they aren't happy with what is in front of them..

Great examples man! Comcast and Walmart; loathed by many for it's treatment of customers and employees. Bravo!

I wouldn't worry so much about what the haterz and doom and gloom sayers are spewing out in the forums, your right there isn't anything wrong with the game. The real problem lies between the computer chair and the keyboard, but anyways FUNCOM isn't worried about what a handfull of people are saying in the forums, why? because they this is just 1 site other sites are saying the exact opposite, its really humorous and that happens with alot of games, just hop over the WOW or EQ2 forums heck even Warhammer, they are doing the same thing there as well with the game bashing. 
Think of it like this, they are still working on a release for the xbox 360, if a game was doing so poorly on a pc format why would they waste any more money to pursue an xbox 360 release. This yakking about "Funcom lied to us, funcom promised us" has been used over and over and over from the beginning. You can seperate the mature people from the immature people very easily and thats what Funcom is doing.
If your kid is crying because he wants an ice cream cone or he is demanding a toy, the mature person won't give into that type of behavior. The wrong thing would be to give them what they are damanding and crying about because it doesn't teach them respect for others. That isn't how the real world operates, yes its a game, theres also a business behind that game.
 The right thing would be to teach them that if they behave and if they ask nicely and they approach things in a rational polite manner (remember adults run businesses, not children) then maybe their voices will be heard. I don't know about anyone else, but It will be a cold day in hell before I listen to let alone give in to other people that demand things from me, people that call me every name in the book, people that don't know how to approach others in an intelligent manner...

WTF are you going on about exactly?! Maturity is about respecting peoples opinions whether you agree with them or not. A lot of nerve you have to post in such a tone and preach adulthood. And what do you know about running a business? Obviously nothing. The worst thing you could do is take the stance that you described. The gaming community is a devs greatest resource and to ignore that community is virtual suicide! Teach them a lesson....HAH! There is a lesson to be learned here and it's not the community that should be paying special attention to it.

Link a site that is the direct opposite of the many like this. Link it please.....

Amen!  Forums ruin games.

Typical 'blame the victim' mentality!

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!

Never mind......

Spin?

That's funny. The guy called it like it was while all those commenters were yelling, DIE HERETIC! Period! You're making this a bigger issue than it needs to be.

Besides the fact that he needs to seriously invest in a spell checker, there is nothing new or groundbreaking there.

His numbers aren't based on anything but opinion as well. Most of his statements are so general that any number of scenarios could be counted to have come true. It's just a sensationalist  trying to drum up traffic to his site.

You could of at least checked the date of the post before rambling off. That was sf's point: His OPINION seems to have been on the money BEFORE the launch of the game. Denial?

Those comments are classic. I wonder where all those people are now. It'd be cool to bump that blog post and get some reaction to it now.

This is the guy that goes on and on about how AoC runs like butter on his rig and without any major issues. Post after post he chimes in about how well AoC runs.

Out of the blue, a WAR post pops up. He then proceeds to wish that WAR would suffer the same fate as AoC. Make up your mind!

Are you kidding? the reason i ask about age is because just look at your post? did you just ask me to leave it or was that me asking to leave it? yes there you are it was me. Who am i ridiculing? i have been attacked for my grammar..for mistaking a sig for an attack on me ( yes just a mistake) and then i asked why i m stupid..and all this is me ridiculing people?

To me it looks like just because there are a few of you think the whole forum is sticking up for you. I am sitting here at my PC calm as you like trying to work out what i have said that is so stupid and wondering why my opinions are reflected this way that's all, and in the end when i get frustrated too and ask about age suddenly i get a response like that lol. so please take your own advice and leave it.

Right..back on subject. As players we need to realise that we too along with FC and any other companys need to start to take a little responsibility ourselves. If we can see that we are exploiting we need to report the incident not take advantage of it. we can report it by telling devs that they have badly coded that area/aspect of the game. it doesn't matter how we do it just as long as we dont use it to our advantage, otherwise we are exploiting and can't complain when caught. i am not talking about every incedent as some of what FC have banned players for is ridiculous. but when we can see the obvious ones then we need to act too.

You're like a broken record man. How many times are you going to spew the same garbage? You're like this in-game babysitter for gods sake. We get it!

The point of this thread is indiscriminate banning, heavy handed ghestapo tactics, treating customers like common criminals....etc. Not a lesson on how players should conduct themselves in game! Instead of fixing the damn game or even locking the instance in question, for example, they'd rather gamble on alienating it's customer base.

*crickets*

Any particular reason or just a mindless babble? i dont really class myself as stupid. But then again who would class thierselves as such. Luckily i have really intellegent people like you that are going to explain to me why i am! you will do that wont you? come on say something clever!

I'll take a crack at it......it's 'themselves' not 'thierselves'.

How was that?

Or how about  this one...STFU and leave it alone! Is that clever enough for you?

Nope....not original enough. I give up! This game sucks....

We're still dealing with banning issue as of today.

A few nights ago, a guild member got some guildies together, spammed LFG until his fingers were numb and was able to get a 24-person pug group together for a raid on Yak's Cave. Mind you, this raid was a first for most of the people in this group. No more than 10-minutes into the raid, people began getting DC'd and when attempting to log back in, were informed that their account had been banned. Auto emails were sent out and the ban was for 7-days...not 1. Reason? Initially, no one knew why because the emails never stated why. Everyone was totally confused soon after the bans began taking place. PM's were sent to Famine because he wouldn't allow discussion on the matter in the forums; emails were sent to GM's and FC support. I was determined later on that most of this 24-person group was banned for 'exploiting terrain'. No warning was ever given by the GM. Had the GM done so, I can guarantee people would have regrouped and tried something else. The problem is, there is no 'something else'.

According to the most that I have spoken to (guildies and alliance guild members that were in my ts server at the time), no one had any clue that the strat they were executing would be deemed an exploit. According to  many, this strat is the only way you can take the boss down because of the amount of minions this boss spawns. I hear it's endless. There are pics of hundreds of minions at one point. The strat has something to do with a ledge. I haven't been in there as I have canceled my account.

Anyway, most emails have been ignored. The emails that were replied to basically said deal with it. Any appeal to the ban has been rejected. It was pointed out the the group was taking damage and dying once the boss was pulled. It wasn't like they were glitching the boss and not in the fight. This group had a fight on it's hands and no one trying to avoid damage. During the bans, the GM had to have known people were on the floor dead. Combat logs would have shown damage being taken by the group.

In another fiasco, one of my members was reinstated (he found out by accident when trying to log in) and then rebanned. This member was helping an alliance member out by giving him some info to include in an email for an appeal. He forwarded an email to the alliance member to include. The GM responded to the alliance member with a 'tough shit' attitude and told the alliance member that unbanning my member was a mistake and proceeded to reban him. Lots of other shit has taken place but I won't continue to bore you with those details.

Lots of people are still banned to this day, no refunds for the 7-days will be issued (these people can't play for 7 days not even on alts. This is an account ban) and many have already quit this disaster of a game. I wasn't in this group but I quit out of principle. Fix your game before taking measures like this. Rein in on those heavy handed GM's or else you bite the hand that feeds you.
