• • Bugs aside, which game is more fun? AoC or WAR?

  • I'll vote for AoC. Besides lack of (promised) content, meaningless PvP, technical issues (fixed for me), dwindling population and instance-overkill it presents a fantastic lore with nice art-direction, best sound/music in an mmo so far, great animations and nice storytelling. The game itself sucks in many ways, but it can be turned in a high immersive game. I'll doubt that FC will handle it but who knows...

    WAR as far as I've seen (played EU-PO a few days) has a way more polished gameplay, but the presentation is absolutely not my taste. Even if Mythic adds a ton of content, classes, races, events it will be the old orcs&elves&dwarves scenario, that every second F2P-MMO, WoW, LotRO etc. shows, too.  WARmart ain't immersive for me.

• • OK just stop it already.

  • C-Movies or C-Novels, what's the difference?

• • So what went wrong and whats the order?

  • Funcoms biggest mistake: No higgledy-piggledy orcs, dwarves & elves, no DX6-cartoony-gfx and 1997 sounddesign. No keewl epix arm0RZ with glowing spikez and burning skullzzz!

    Even with half a year of more development, more polish & content AOC would have failed. Average-MMO-Joe wants to play the same Average-Joe-Fantasy-BS all over again.

    Besides that AOC has enough flaws (mentioned here) for he who ain't Average-MMO-Joe.

    I can except the bland landscapes as a sacrifice for mass PvP.  What's confusing is how bad the animations are.  The running annimations for all the Desto. chars I played was very bad.  The spell  and melee animations were really weak too.

    As I said, having average graphics is a fair price for working mass PvP, what is annoying is all the fanbois who are trying to convince people that the graphics are "amazing" or "better than wow."

    
     

    Indeed. Mythic seems to have put all energy in the gameplay. So be it. Game's fun in the beginning (playin the 5-Bucks-EU-Preoder to have a look).

    But the whole presentation - gfx, artwork, animations, soundeffects, music, lore - is outdated and mediocre at best. Besides Mass-PVP and PQs there is nothing special that makes a difference between WAR and those who were smart enough to copy WAR's (Tabletop) look years before.

    Clunky elves, dwarves & orcs.  A polished game for average-joe-fantasy-lover.  But not thaaat special.
