    Loving the scenarios, great fun. Yes, FUN.

     

    The game is a home run. I can hear the ball smacking against the baseball bat. It's enjoyable, it's not a grind, it's an adventure... and last night, I couldn't wait to wake up and start playing. WAR was on my mind when I woke up, yes, it's that enjoyable.

  • I love this game. Love it.

    I feel like I finally FINALLY found a home after being lost in WoW. WoW was amazing since release, but TBC was a game killer for me.

    Raiding content (6 man) is incoming. If you enjoy large raids, don't play, but don't count it out, instead of large raids, it's large RvR, which is far more fun and less "predictable."

    However, I hate large raids where we farm the same boss who does the same garbage over and over again, I love PvP, and dang it, I'm happy. I'm having fun, and it feels great.

    Thank you Mythic. I cannot say thank you enough.

  • I find AoC graphics too busy, but they are very pretty, especially the beasts, which were beautiful. However, I am not fond of the art direction and they over sexed style. I'm in it to play a game, not oogle.

    I love Warhammer graphics for the style and feel, It's "my cup of tea" and the fact that they are not so over the top that' it's too busy or too hard on my PC.

    The prettiest games from a screenshot standpoint I find are Crysis (I don't like FPS) and AoC. Just not the game for me.

    As good, yes... from a technical standpoint, but I do not like the art style of EQ2 whatsoever.

    And I feel the game is less cartoonish than people claim, in fact, I'd say in terms of style, it is similar more to LoTRO bred with a WoW UI/Interface, but better than both BY FAR.

    I won't lie, I was a WoW player since release. This game allows me to break out of that horrible rut.

    And the RvR is great fun! I love how you can queue right on your minimap vs running around or having to catch flights and taking 15 minutes to get to the BG NPC. I'm on a high population server, and I find the RvR queues are very short with RvR having no lag.

    Another thing I like vs say AoC and other games, a lot less instancing than I had anticipated, and when I do have a load - it's VERY fast.
