• • Warhammer is a shell of a game :(

  • In all honesty you should just cancel your subscription and move on.  Why *grind* in a game you obviously don't enjoy.

     

    BTW I'm not a WA *FANBOI* seeing as how I never played the game. I'm just tired of coming to these boards and reading negative comments that don't offer up suggestions for improvement to a developer who has proven its willingness to  listen and work with the community.  Also WAR is a huge step forward in PvP.  It has been their focus from the beginning. The nice thing about PvE content is that it can be added in later, which is what I'm waiting to see happen before I even invest time in a trial.  Until that time I'd love to start seeing people offering the developer suggestions on how to improve the game, not just drone on and on about what doesn't meet their criteria for a MMO . Give them reasonable well thought-out ideas and hopefully they will make it better!

     

    Cheers

    WAR (Warhammer Online)
• • Worst letdown after 2 weeks of playing...

  • This is done to accommodate the PvP system. Guildwars took this to the extreme providing only a few variances on the appearance of each class. I don't think this will be something that will concern PvP players but can see where it might bug someone from a PvE game slike WoW or LotRO.

    
    I didn't bother me in GW because it was my first game and I didn't know any better. It was more about enjoying the game experience and learning to heal under pressure in RA/TA and eventually GvG. Now those were fun days!

    Anyway fortunately there are games out there that will make both camps happy.

• • A review of LOTRO

    It is great that you like the game but I am confused with your ratings. You give one topic a 7 out of 10 but say it is a negative point. I know reviews are never objective but...

    I was playing the game, too, but now I am seriously thinking of leaving. It is a tough decision but I am just tired of the same quests over and over again. My MMO experience isn't that extensive, but I know that the sucky part of MMOs is that they are all repetitive- the grind if you will. I am a huge fan of LotR and really want to like this game but I can't take anymore of the same quests in different zones. Back to Baldur's Gate, I guess.

    I know what you mean. No I'm not a LOTRO player yet BUT will be soon. Anyway I've hit the same wall as you in WoW (yes I still play WoW) because I was playing solo most of the time. Solo is great for quick gaming sessions but if it's what you do the majority of the time it gets old fast. Now I've started a new character with a friend who has started playing. We make it a point to stay in close proximity level wise and do most quests and all instances together. yes having just one other person with you makes all the difference in the world. Those mundane quests become a lot more entertaining.

    If you don't have a friend to play with then put yourself out there and join a guild of like minded people. They can help you with quests/missions  and crafting. Better yet you can help them with the same. It's what online games are always about.

     

    so of the best moments in WoW were random encounters where I'd stumble up on someone needing help or vice versa.  I addeda a lot of friends doing that.

     

    Good luck and BTW I played a lot of BG too :)

    I'm gonna bookmark this thread and ressurect in in 6 months...

    We're all gonna have a good laugh then.

    WAR is WoW 2.0. It simply does everything WoW does but does it an order of magnitude better. In the case of PvP and world dynamics it does it TWO orders of magnitude better.

    I can't think of ONE single reason why anyone would choose WOTLK over WAR. Not one except maybe being freaked out about "all that work that's gone to waste". And that last remark really tells you why WoW doesn't have a chance (hint: look for an underline).

    Quite simply, WAR is the first really finished and polished AAA MMORPG that came after WoW. Tbh, WoW was crappy and waay behind times even when it came out, but at least it was polished and finished as a game AT RELEASE which is, incredibly, a rarity in this genre. All other considerations aside but WAR is 4 years more modern than WoW. In addition, Mythic people and especially MBJ are real game designers as DAOC proved, rather than pathetic D&D "roll play" jerkoffs that took over WoW right before the release.

    There is simply no comparison between the two. WAR IS going to destroy WoW.

    ...

    That was my bit of rabid fanoboism for now while I wait for my HS codes to arrive. Bookmarking this thread and ressing it in 6 months, come what may.

     

    It all comes down to comparing any new MMO with WoW. I wasn't an MMO player but when WoW came out did people back then react the same way and do LAME comparison to older titles like EQ or Dark age of Camelot?
    I started reading this thread to read various opinions (both good and bad) of Warhammer. I really appreciate the honest and to the point summations some posters provided. Unfortunately the trolls and fanatics have turned this into something ridiculous and sad.

    
    I wish WAR nothing but success! The developer has put a tramendous amount of effort into the title and I hope they are rewarded for it. But let's get something straight. A GOOD MMORPG needs enjoyable indepth PvE to survive!  PvP alone will not keep the game afloat.  You see I'm one of the D&D RPG jerkoffs who really enjoys the PvE aspects of an online game. I like an imersive world to explore. I like being kept busy questiong, doing instances, and crafting. I want to feel as though I'm in an online world not some giant 3D game board. Those are the things I log in for but I also enjoy PvP.  Yes I enjoy both aspects of the game.  I keep hearing WAR has weak PVE. Not just here but in many many other forums. For now this will keep me away.

    One last thing. I still enjoy WoW but maybe that's because I don't play 100+ hours a week.

     

    Cheers!

• • Hopeful about Vanguard

  • Thank you!

    I really appreciate the detailed replies. You guys  provided the exact answers I was looking.   This has absolutely made up my mind to give Vanguard a shot. Fortunately my timing is good with the Trial coming out next week.
