• • AOC vs War?

    WAR has a PvP and RvR system in place that is actually meaningfull and working. Renown Ranks reward you with Armor and Armor Sets. Guilds can take over Keeps which gives everyone near the Keep Buffs, give bonus to Guild experience (yeah guilds actually level up in WAR and you get rewards for that). Guild Standards add to the tactical aspect of RvR/PvP. Scenarios are quick PvP mini games that reward you with rare drops, experience and renown. Open RvR you take over objectives to get renown and give the whole Tier buffs and bonus to exp/merchants/renown.

    AoC is not even in the same league if it comes to meaningfull PvP RvR.

     

    Some corrections as there still seem to be many people that haev no clue what they are talking about:

    @Azrile
    

    PVP - Considering both games are supposedly pvp games.. neither is really that good at the moment. Warhammer has a better pvp system in place, unfortunately because of their reward system, players are flocking to the least fun aspect (minigames) and avoiding the meat of their pvp (RvR). AOC suffers from population problems ( seiging doesn't happen, so the only real pvp is pointless skirmishes in a very small area). If you really like mini-games (bg/scenarios) then Warhammer wins. If you don't like them, then neither game is really that great.

    On my server there are daily sieges and battle onbjectives in open RvR. Some of the best Armor/Weapons come from open RvR. The rewards are just the same as for Scenarios, you actually need to do them both to complete Armor Sets.

    When that is said I also want to comment on WAR as I have tried that. That game has just the same amount of zoning. Whenever you try to enter RvR you have to zone (lets not forget RvR is supposedly the core of this game). Thats ok, but graphics here again is not that hot. And, there is in general a lot of waiting before getting into RvR (either because there is not enough people, there is too many people or because the whole thing is just terribly imballanced)

    You do not have to zone every time you want to PvP/RvR, just to join the Scenarios. Scenarios pop within minutes, some are not fun however and will pop very rarely. I have waited a maximum of 5 minutes to join a scenario. They usually pop within 1-2 minutes after i queue up. (Volkmar Server)

    @Kanemura
    

    The thing is, when a player can run Crysis at a very playable framerate, play COD4 on damn near max settings for hours on end with no issues, and run Oblivion and Bioshock flawlessly as well, then a game with subpar graphics like WAR should run even better...right? WRONG!

    I run WAR in 1920x1080 highest seting with forced 4xAA and 4xAF at 60fps. The only time i have to switch to fastest framerate setting is in sieges with 100+ players. I take that compromise for the pure fun these sieges are. I have a Q6600@2.8GhZ, 2GB RAM and a 8800 GT Superclocked. No fancy SLI or super gaming PC. The system is however clean of any useless backround tasks or crappy software. Only thing that runs in the background is Virus/Firewall software and Ventrillo. Oh and it is XP, on Vista i never get 60 FPS and trust me i tried.

    
     

    I agree with this guy 100%.

    I am having a blast playing War.

    AoC was fun, but not close to being fun as Warhammer.

     

    What Warhammer has is a team feeling aspect that AoC will never have.

    Had AoC divided the countries for PvP AKA Bane, then it would have been top notch.

  • I agree, I love this game. Chaos Waste is the best in my opinion. Just too damn fun to play anything else.
