Honestly I quit this game after waiting years for it mainly due to all the reasons the OP stated and from what I see a really deluded player base. They want a game to be better then WoW sooo bad they can't see what a peice of shit this game really is.

No PvE of any quality to speak of, if you call these PQs real PvE something is not working upstairs for you.

The RvR is a ZERG, nothing more nothing less,  SWG Pre CU open PvP was 100% better then this and classes did really have a role as was DAOC.

Game cleint is fair at best.

Animations blow period and the sounds that go with them are worse!

Server Pops determine who controls the keeps most of the time.

In six months once the newness wears off these boards are going to be brutal towards Mythic, They screwed up DAOC and they will here as well, and yes I was a beta tester and many of the bugs that were in beta are still in game now.

The client sucks for many read the VN boards and a few others this is not an isolated incident and has been a problem for MANY since beta.

Any links to pics showing DKs in their level 80 armor?

So how many of you will play a DK as your main, I am on the fence since I have not played one yet. I love to tank so I guess I will see how well they tank then decide.

I didn t buy the CE, but I can't wait for the new expansion.

The recent MMO released are all shit, the old ones (SWG, EQ2) got watered down, which leave me with the only games that consistently keep to be decent.

Well done Blizzard on WoW.

crimson you said "Theres no WAR in Borehammer" but yet theres no wow factor in world of warcraft, the game flat out sucks, i cant wait till this game fades into the darkness in a couple years at least, after everyones bored to tears with it and has 500 lvl 70's and they raid 10  hours a day with there uber guild for a chance to perhaps get nothing from it no gear etc. Blizzard takes forever to release an expansion and when they do all you get is a new zone and 10 lvls are more of the same gear for your toon so when WOTLK comes out all that gear you spent hours and hours on is worthless.

Humm tell me how many hours you will grind to get your RR80 gear, please tell me about the no grinding in WAR, gimme a breal the game is a bigger grindfest then WoW will ever be and about 1/10 of the fun, move along Troll.

Warhammer will always have better PVP, Mythic has been doing it longer than blizzard and they know how to do it right, wow's pvp is weak.

 

IMHO WAR does not have better PVP just more of it.

Only if you are on a High Pop server, if you went to a low pop server there is nothing except 1-4 hour long waits for scenarios and zero RvR in Teir 2!

The size of a poststamp and still lagging as hell, the moment you fight with 8 players on screen.

Every WAR copy sold is free publicity for WotLK. And the lay-out and thoughts above show why.

 

 

If you start lagging with 8 people on the screen, its your PC that can't handle it. You see, I can still play lag-free with 20 people bunched up together, casting their stuff at eachother. Don't even start blaming the game for your system's shortcomings (And now I suppose you will respond by stating your l33t specs, which will be a lie).

And here's my motto: Every person saying that every WAR copy sold is free publicity for WotLK, is an idiot.

My 2 cents :).

 

Edited for spelling.

Another 11 yr old WAR fanboi go back to your mindless zerg of a game, move along troll!!

The game is just plain boring, the scenarios are worse then the WoW Bgs with nothing new, there is no RvR on anything less then a High/High server in T2 and above, the graphics are sub par and the lag is horrid. The PQs are a grind and defend them as you might they are just another form of grinding. Server Imbalance and low pop servers will drive the masses away in the end along with piss poor client performance!

Oh and Skull Throne has crashed yet again last night, happens everyday yet Mark Jacob had the balls to say no server has crashed yet in an interveiw, wow what a flat out lie.

Oh BTW I have not installed my new disks because Best Buy screwed up my order and now I can't even play since the new patch went live. I could rant about the shaddy oh it is no longer the 22 grace period issue but I am tired lol.

RvR on Skull Throne was a slide show, so I rolled a toon on a low pop server to check it out to make sure it was not my rig. The game ran smooth as silk for the most part in High Qual so I decided to stay there, we even did a Keep raid last night with 1 warband and it ran decent but towards the end of the night things felt really really sluggish. 3 people though were complaining about server lag or whatever and disbanded from the warband.

so on a low pop server I ran pretty good on a high pop it was like a slide show, that seems to me like server lag or memory leak issues on their side.

It's actually either the same, .1 second longer, or .1 second shorter excluding rogues and druids in cat form.  At least come up with reasonable flames sir trollykins.

I was not trolling actually I find this global cool down annoying for whatever reason it seems more pronounced then in any other game I played. I just see this same high and mighty attitude among a lot of WAR posters here that is very remininscent of AoC before the light turned on. This game is far from perfect, is it better then AoC was at launch, yes but is that really saying much?? Server imbalance and server lag and not what I would call in ICU but they are critical imho.

Well I tried in the last few posts for constructive criticsism in this thread, but my two biggest issues are the server imbalance and the server lag in large scale RvR. Which in the end could hurt this game for those that like to play an RvR game, I mean lets be serious the PvE here is lame and not very engrossing, the PQs were/are a brilliant idea but as I said by chapter 8 it felt just like any grind in WoW or worse.

Between server imbalance and the fact that low end machines cannot run in mass RvR could be very detrimental to the longevity of this game to the masses and in the end becoming a niche game.

There are still a lot of active games that will give you what you are looking for.  There are about 500 old threads you can dig up about how WoW ruined the genre by being so successful with such a casual and shallow game causing developers to follow in their footsteps that you could post on.  I personally agree with the side that WoW hurt the genre more than it helped, but I miss the old days.  Particularly when these forums were filled with excitement about launches and we discussed the games.  

If you try and discuss the cons of a game anymore you get decimated by the fanbois, I feel there are some very signifcant issues with WAR which I just posted but I know I will be flamed by fanbois.

And I can agree with everyone that this was never going to be a sandbox game. I knew that while testing the game and yet I still purchased retail (I always do because it is the least I can do to support a title that I spent time with) That really isn't the issue.

 

But does it have to be so MM0 i.e. Massively Monumentally Zero depth?

I know that it has to be simple, basic and shallow so that the RvR can be played on low end machines..

{ Mod Edit }

This game will never play well on low end machines as it stands now in mass RvR, which in effect might actually be it's achillies heel.

I am going to try the Waaagh later this weekend.  (Have yet to try those little buggers and healing is my shtik)

I guess Diablo kept people playing for quite some time and this seems to be well in line with that style of game only with RvR slightly more refined.  But, I am not a person that just jumps in to smack-downs over and over and over.  PvP needs to mean something even in a quasi-psuedo-RPG and I have not had that sence from this game.

I think this game will fill a gap for the nintendo-turned-PC crowd... but like many have said, perhaps we need a new term for Massive Multiplayer Online Diablo, like this game, that makes it distinctive from MMORPGs...

... that is if my fears are not coming true and those have actually gone extinct.

Actually I do not think this is a true MMORPG honestly, maybe a new genre needs to be created. EQ, SWG, and even WoW were true MMORPGs. WoW might have dumbed things down but it still has the whole MMORPG feel.

WAR again in my opinion is not in the true sense a MMORPG, it reminds more of Planetside in some respects. So to judge this as a MMORPG in a sandbox world is unfair and unrealistic. Maybe we can call them MMOGFs (gank fests) games I don't know but I do not see much of an RPG in here.

That said I feel this game has issues, the GC is not necessary or too long, the server lag in mass PvP is horrid and this game will not run in mass RvR on min specs, I would even vouch to say a dual core 3+ megs of ram and a 8800GT or better as a min spec to run mass rvr. The spell animations are meh, character customization the same meh, but I heard it was done so each class had a different look in PvP so there is not a lot of difference say between chosen A and Chosen B. The PQs get repetitive by chapter 8 I wanted to pull my eyeballs out grinding for gear, since T2 RvR on my server was not huge so the PQs had the dope gear for now.

Again to the OP a well written rant ans sadly you are on the mark but I don't think this game should be classified as a MMORPG.

I can sum up my feelings on Warhammer - Age of Disappointment with a cockney voiced police officer motioning people away from a twitching corpse...

"Move 'long now laddies, der 'b nothin's ta see 'ere."

(though to be honest I really didn't expect this game would be for me... and I was underwhelmed even with that level of expectation.)

So what happened to RPGs?  With 'Warbummer' following in the footsteps of such classic disappointments as Age of Conan O'Brian & Pablum Rasa what is going on here?

To quell the fanbois (though they can't take any dissent from the god-worship of whichever game has yet to show up on their mother's credit card statement)

Yes, I have played both Realm factions.  Yes, I am trying most of the 'different' (and I use that word losely) character classes.  Yes, I have leveled past 10th.  Yes, I have both teamed and soloed... ad infinitum - ad nausium.

But what I have been playing is a clunky 1990's game, reminiscent of some outdated Diablo-Nintendo hybrid mutant PUG... thing.

What the hell happened to RPGs where the sandbox was deeper than what I brought in stuck on the bottom of my sandals?

 

 

Ill tell you what happened WoW brought in way to many casual  carebears to the MMO genre, and they out number the old school MMO'er 5-1 so the companies are catering to the carebears and were getting all these weak MMO's. It is indeed very frusterating.

WoW in a PvE aspect is actually deeper then WAR, PvP wise I really can't comment never seeing 21+ RvR. As to the interface and feel I agree with the OP it is clunky and just does not flow. Posting anything negative will bring the pack a rabid fanbois down, DAOC flowed 10 times better then this and the Battle grounds in DAOC were actually more engaging then this WoW clone scenarios they call RvR.

WoW fanboi's have nothing on these WAR fanbois, they remind me of...... The AoC fanbois, then it was too late. This game has a longer GC then WoW, a fan base that seems immature, and god forbid you bash this game. Then when Mythic goes and screws up the grace period it is still ok. The launch sucked the server lag sucks, the combat is slow and the animations suck, oh and the imbalance in the end will kill it.

I wonder why so many people never got past tier 1...

 

I was fucking hyped about this game 2 years ago

The reality: Paul Barnett is a fucking lier creating mass hype over a WoW cloned piece of shit.

 

And guess what... the BIG COMBAT GAME... has a LONGER Global Cooldown than WoW.

 

Fucking Fail.
