• • Graphics: Is there no pleasing people?

    If the graphics are highend and complex, what do people complain about?

    - "I cant enter the capital city, I get like 2 frames"
    - "Damn necros and all their pets, every time im close to one my framerate goes to hell!"
    - "I cant target him, im getting like no frames with all these people around"

    This endless whining id hear almost daily in AoC. Yes the game was very preety and graphically advanced, but what effect would you have on a large amount of people when the action got complex? Their frame rates would tank and they would become ineffective and unresponsive.

    So do people REALLY expect to have the majority of people be able to have a playable game when there are 100+ people in your immediate proximity? The RvR battles in WAR get huge. There are no artificial limitations like in AoC. So if you get 200 people showing up at your keep to break down the doors, do you think it will be fun if youre getting 1 FPS?

    Mythic chose gameplay over graphics, THANK GOD. If graphics were king, games like AoC and Crysis would be ruling supreme and scraping everyone else from the bottom of their boots. And a game like WoW, with cartoony pastel color graphics with trees that looked like squares would have bombed within 6 months. WoW is complete proof that gameplay is more important than graphics, and like it or not, a smart developer will invest more resources into gameplay than graphics. Funcom did it backwards, and ask anyone who has played the endgame, fancy graphics mean nothing if you have a severe lack of content.

    Therefore with WAR, we are stuck with "ugly graphics" such as the pics I took yesterday:

    If you think thats ugly, well then, go play AoC or Crysis. You have a choice, WAR isnt the only game in town.

     

    There is a diffrence between bad graphics and simplistic graphics.

    WoW = incredibly well done simplistic graphical style

    WAR = Very shoddy attempt at simplistic graphics. Stuff don't really meld together in a nice looking fashion. To me it looks alike they had some rather talented artists mixed up with som rather bad/lazy ones.

    WAR (Warhammer Online)
• • Poll: Did the open beta change how you felt about the game?

  • I was kinda excited about this game beforehand. Playing the beta however made me realize that this is just a shoddier version of WoW. Since I really can't stand wow this is absolutley nothing for me.
