    nice one-line contradiction there. That made no sense at all. Online version = MMO.

     

    LOL - Just because something has online multiplayer features doesnt make it an MMO.  The clue is in the letters.

• • PS3 to get "mmo" called "MAG" from Zipper Interactive (SOCOM) which will support 256 player full blown battles!

  • I must admit this may be the game that forces me to dabble into kiddie boxes (consoles)

    Scenarios is just more battleground bs with a different name.  Up until EA's take over and pr blitz RvR has always meant massive open world pvp.  Slowly but ever increasingly they have been changing the definition of RvR to mean something more scenario oriented.   In press releases and demonstrations RvR is now about scenarios mostly and nothing is mentioned about open pvp unless someone presses the issue directly.   With what over 12 scenarios that we do know about in WAR not including the cityseige scenarios, it seems most likely that, for those of us expecting open world pvp, the rug has been quietly pulled out from under us.

     

    Actually RvR means the active fighting of one realm against another.

    WAR accomplishes this in a number of ways, including scenarios. Because fighting in scenarios helps your side in the overall RvR battle, I would count it as RvR. The problem lies in thinking that this is the ONLY form of RvR.

    Having had the chance to play the game a couple of times, I can tell you that the game's RvR goes way beyond the scenarios and encompasses almost all aspects of the game. Focusing on this one point seems to be taking it out of context.

     

    
     

    True but that still doesn't change the fact that what has been implied, meaning when one hears the word RvR, has changed. 

    Yes in the starkest terms it means realm vs. realm.   But what was implied by that term when it was used for the last 7 years was massive open world fighting.  Never before now ,has it referred to battleground, scenarios or whatever you would like to call them. 

    
    

     

    Nothing 'Stark' about it, it fully implies Realm V Realm.

     

    Realm V Realm encomases ALL PVE and ALL PVP played in Warhammer since it ALL contributes to your realm status.  That is the definition of RVR always was always will be.

    The company cuts content to the bone, AND changes it's name and structure

    The bone? They removed hardly anything, there are still 20/24 classes.

    lol we will see.

    4 Classes are going on "hold" indefinately, which if that is anything like a beta invite, it could be years.

    The classes were removed to provide balance, and better game play!

    removed due to time and money (EA)

    Capitol cities are cut...

    There are still Capital, just not as many. And again, this is improve game play.

    immersion breaking. the dwarves are homeless?!

    Balance is out the window....  now no one will want to be any race but chaos, since they get a capitol city AND all of their classes

    I dont know what your smoking, but I want some. Chaos lost 2 classes, and 2 capitals. Order lost 2 classes, and 2 capitals. Theyre equal.

    remains to be seen.

    Promises of beta contests and giveaways have all been BS, with no winners named or end in sight.

    My buddy won one last month. The guild beta let hundreds in this week. Open beta should be next month or so.

    why haven't they announced the winners? fishy.

    Pre-orders nation-wide are being mis-handled and people are not getting their codes, and never will due to misunderstandings with the distributors.

    Mythic isnt in charge of distribution. This is a problem with places like Gamestop and Best Buy
    

    but they are in charge of the game.  all pre-orders mishandled? funny coincidence.

    Is this game in a complete meltdown?  I really don't know how they will release a balanced and functional game with so many necessary classes missing.  Ebay is selling preorders for a ton from people who were scammed by bestbuy or gamestop... all of this slop makes me think the launch will be a disaster!!  Reminds me of Vanguard.

     even i will say this isn't as bad as vancrap but they are on the slippery soe slope.

    LOLOLOL  - so clueless its funny.  Kryten you really should look up information before spouting rubbish like that - good laugh though thanks..

• • never again will a great mmorpg exist.

  • OP this genre is still new, 10 years is NOTHING in this industry, in another 10 years without change then you have a reason to complain, right now you just have to learn to be patient.  The life cycle of MMOS is not like other games, it is a long slow process with a slow turnover.

    In the end it will be worth it, there are some amazing things to come for this genre but it will take many, many years to come.
