To bad the game is nothing like that. Like, at all.

 

Eh ? we see almost all the classes in the videos fighting each others.  Of course if you expect a game to be like a cinematic, that aint going to happen.   Very nice video.

 

 

Sure, you do. But it’s nothing like that at all. That’s all I’m saying, it is an awesome video, but it’s so far from how the game really plays, it makes me sad. Just like every other pre-rendered movie.

 

 

So why are you complaining? Wait, so far from how the game really plays...I KNEW IT! It's really Warhammer 40K in disguise! Because there's magic and arrows and swords in the trailer, but if that's so far from how it really plays, the real game has heavy bolters, flamethrowers and all that good stuff!

Cool trailer, just like for most other games, but as the years pass they get better and better.

But what else are we going to speculate about prior to launch? There's nothing wrong with trying to predict sales/subs, even if it's meaningless...

I do agree with you though.

 

Well there's nothing wrong with talking about it, but what I mean is that people say THIS GAME WILL OWNZ  JUST LIKE MY PIE SHE MAKES ME WHILE I SLEEP IN HER BASEMENT! It's basically all you really talk about before release. Bad habit. But that also inspires trolls, by predicting the future. But hwen you try finding out the future you change it o.o....WTH am I talking about again?... did that make any sense/... :/

Now that NDA is lifted the beta testers can feel more free to make educated predictions .

I agree with you. For me its how fun a game is with content to keep me - sales figures, sub rumours, tracking stats etc dont have any effect on whether the game is fun or not.

I think people should have the warhammer experience, i'm all for advancement of the genre, I think with war though it lets me personally down in some area's.

 

See, this is how a REAL gamer should be, dont care about sales, just fun. If you were a company all you care is about sales, but if your a gamer. talking about it is as useless as talking about how sky blue is better than bright blue.

But what else are we going to speculate about prior to launch? There's nothing wrong with trying to predict sales/subs, even if it's meaningless...

I do agree with you though.

Aren't you currently playing AoC? lol

He will say that he just played beta like last week and it had all of those bad things.

Poor skaven lovers, you'll get to kill them but not play as them .

Don't understand why people always want something revolutionary and new. Most of the time, when someone tries it, they fail, and then we rub it in. Or at least we say "props to them for trying, but this game still sucks". Then we go back to saying, "Damn why don't companies try anything new?" (Of course, not everyone does this, but many do...)

WAR isn't trying to be revolutionary, it wants to be a fun game...not the second coming of MMOs that will put you into a world so engaging that you won't leave your computer for three days (can't believe some people actually want that!)

I think WAR's taking what's out there and improving on it, or at least putting their spin on it - their spin happens to be more fun for many people. So what if it's not "new"? It's old concepts used in a different pattern. It's like using Lego blocks to build a giant life-size Darth Vader. You could easily use those blocks to build something else, they're still the same blocks. However, whether the Darth Vader or something else is better depends on each person.

Of course WAR isn't for everyone but I think it'll be a competitor. It will dominate the market alongside WoW.

Seriously guys, is it really that stable?

Are the bugs only a bit annoying and not game breaking?

Did they really keep every feature listed on the site?

The game sounds way too good to be true.

I expect the Sandbox fans to not like WAR too much and I expect the WoW loyalists to bash WARs pve.

But seriously where the hell are the horrible reviews saying the game will tank?

I'm reading these forums in shock that the game can be this good.

No terrible lagg? no glitchy collision? no bugged spells? no server stability problems? no unbalanced gameplay? no terrible itemization? No lack of endgame like AoC? this is crazy.

seriously I've read two reviews one by a Old school DAOC player that seems to be a bit fanboi and a sandbox lover wanting the next SWG-pre CU that seemed negative but still had good things to say.

 

Did mythic really do that great of a job?

Guys this game sounds like the second coming, the only dudes left in WoW will be the raiders since WAR seems to be lacking large pve raids.

So many good reviews and good posts, its crazy to see such positive feed back on Mmorpg forums.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats because the 'fanbui's' are quick to report any thread that they dont like or bashes their clone, not to mention MMORPG is in Mythics pocket and doesnt want to piss them off so they remove threads as well.

Im sure if you dig deep youll see WAR is your basic level based run-of-the-mill MMO with nothing new to offer the genre.

One thing is for sure, wait till release and then wait till the power levelers start to control RvR and then come back to these forums and watch the 'fanbui' whine fest begin! That will be funny to read!!

 

Please explain to me how this will work when you need to have PRIOR CONTROL of Tiers 1-3 before you can even start to control Tier 4.

Did you say grind?  I thought this game wasn't a grind at all like wow. 

If you have a job that you thoroughly enjoy, but you have to go to it everyday, is it a grind? You're doing it over and over aren't you? Every MMO has some type of grind, the difference is it feels more like a grind in some games, while in others it doesn't feel repetitive at all until you do it for a very long period of time, probably a year or more depending on the quality of the game.

Then of course no matter how good the game is some parts will feel like grind...it's all relative to the person.

Seriously,its just amazes me how long some of us,non beta participants ,were waiting on info,and when it finally lifts,we get a crap load of,um er crap....

Would someone,anyone,rise to the occasion and make a solid thread about the different classes,pvp viability and the breakdown of dps...AND BE CONCISE W/INFO BACKING THREAD.....

This is just sorry.....Most of you shouldnt even be posting......

Read ProfRed's blog on the main page. He wrote a clear, concise and organized review and summary of his beta experience.

They fixed this

 

Yep the Combat Responsiveness patch fixed this like a week before all the CE testers came into the game. There still needs to be slight tweaking but it makes combat much much more fluid.

Very nice .

What do you want to know? i'm telling all.

Aesthetically my biggest concern is animations. Have they ironed them out in any beta clients or are they waiting until launch? Or near it?

I guessed this week either today or yesterday. Sweet.

First there was a tiny little 3 second clip of it, then an 11 second one, but now 3 minutes? I want the whole enchilada, c'mon Mythic!

This was very awesome though.

Funny thing is, part of me wants to know why they waited to long to life NDA more than actually seeing the state of the game.
