    • My Biggest Problem With "Up WIth WoW, Down With WAR" People...
    • I agree some of the rants against  WAR are ridiculous, as they  were for AoC and will be for future mmo's...it's the way of the world. Which is better, faster, bigger, easier?

      That's how we are, and while it may not be fair to compare a new release with an established best seller, it is nonetheless what must done for the bar to be raised to the next level.

      It's the way of industry, commerce, and society to be the best....and the only way to BE the best is to BEAT the best.

      I don't play WoW anymore, as I have had my fill. I do however play WAR for the moment, and it's entertaining. For the moment. That's what life is..moments. And they invariably get compared to the last ones we had.

      Those who are the senseless and illogical, not the labeled for debasement, ' fanbois' or 'trolls ' are just those that never got out of the  "My father can beat up your father" phase, and can't accept change.

      It will happen no matter what, and those that are up to the challenge will be recognized...whether they succeed or not, only time will tell.

      WAR (Warhammer Online)
    • Warhammer developers scrambling to appease its masses....
    •  I haven't had any major issues with the game as of yet either, and I've been playing a week now.

      My system is mediocre, nvidia 7950 GT OC, 2 gigs of DDRII ram, and an intel 2.8 dual core...

      I have good fps (25-45) even in RvR, and run it at a res of 1768 X 962 as I run it on my HDTV.

      Not blindly defending it, I just don't have those issues mentioned.

      WAR (Warhammer Online)
    • should i comeback?
    • What problems are you referring to? Those? I think they'll always be there in one form or another.  If you enjoyed WoW and aren't tired of playing in view of the changes Blizz will be making, then I say try it. If you like it, then it'll be worth it.

      If you are not sure you'll like it, wait a bit to see for yourself the changes made and whether you think you'll enjoy them then.

      Worst thing to do in any situation is rush a to decison without information.

    • I am a sheep: I quit AoC because everyone else did :(

      I only played my Bear Shaman to lvl 31. In all my years as a gamer, the Bear Shaman is without a doubt my favorite class.I loved the graphics. I loved the performance. I loved the European feel of the game like the Gothic series. I loved the combat, the quests everything else. The only issue I had was the 4k lag spikes. Are these still around?

      I really liked this game.
      Then people started leaving, so I did too.

      I watched Funcom stocks and wanted them to fail. Why? Why would I want this?

      Now I am playing Warhammer. I have left WoW in the dust. Tried Ryzom for a week and enjoyed it, but after a while I logged on and said, "what next"? Warhammer is an amazing game with some brutal performance issues that unless fixed, I will not re-subscribe.

      So why did I leave AoC? Was it a wrong decision? Was I a lemming? I mean, if you are enjoying something, who cares what people think? This new patch looks amazing..

      Should I think about coming back?


       

      Play what you want. As long as you are having fun in the way you want to have fun you should stay.

      Remember, not everyone is going to like AOC.

      Heck, I played Lineage 2 for almost 5 years, not the #1 subscribed to mmo in the west and I loved it despite what others felt about it.

      I totally agree, and don't be swayed by the likes of Bodypass, or anyone else.

      In the end, it's your money, and getting your money's worth should only be your concern..no one else's.

      As for the population...only let it concern you when you are no longer enjoying yourself ingame. Until then, don't worry about anything written or said (negatively), especially here.

      Why worry about things you have no control over? The only equation you should use is

      money spent=enjoyment?

      If yes; continue

      If no; discontinue

    • oh well WAR was/is a huge let down...

      The points made are valid, to the poster, and I've no problem with them. The problem I see is still the old "Can't compare to WoW" crap that's  representative of the same love/hate between different mmo players and their respective choices.

      You prefer WoW to WAR? Fine, by all means stay there and enjoy yourselves. Just don't say it's better because you hated WAR.  They aren't in the same genre pf gameplay. WoW's PvP isn't bad to some, but it isn't what alot of PvPers want, so they prefer WAR for their PvP...Who cares?!

      I've played WoW, now am playing WAR because it is different...will I play  WAR in a year's time? Don't know, but it's not because of someone's lame attempt of comparing it to WoW, or LOTRO that will stop me. I don't play WoW anymore because it got boring for me. FOR ME. Never will I say it's a boring game. Not the same thing, only ignorant rants say otherwise.

      Why does anyone start playing, and PAYING for a new game if they're into another? What's the reasoning? To try it only to 'prove' their other game is better? Was it really to try something new? Would you have left your other game had it been to your liking? If not, then you should just chalk it up as an experience and move on.

      If you really hated it, without knowing what you were getting into, then you wasted your money on it, with a bad after-taste in your mouth, and the only one to blame is yourself.  (Not directed at anyone in particular)

      I like some of the drama on these forums, but this constant squabble of which game is better is really pathetic. Play your game and let the other guy worry about where he's spending his 15$/month on.


       

      The answer is very simple really.

      WAR does NOT meet the standards set out by Blizzard 4 years ago AND upgraded 2 years ago.

      If you do not want to play with the present day standards . OK np, fine by me, but WAR lacks about everyhting Wow (and other MMORPG's) even have standard.

      Everyone will and can be the judge, but the qualtiy differences are SOOO huge and just can't be neglected.

      Go and have a look at HOW Bliizard tackled the fighting animations and then look at War. In the end the buying public will be the judge. And there a dozens and dozens of these kind of polishment differences.

      If YOU want to pay for far less in WAR and its end game ... NP It is YOUR money.

      Thank you for that, it IS my money and I will spend it how I see fit.

      I can 'neglect' the anomalies just fine, since I know  WAR just released and time will smooth out these things, just like Blizz did four years ago. If they don't...I still enjoyed myself enough to make it worth the money I spent.

      I have played WoW since release, on and off  to about a month ago. I've had enough, and won't bother getting into it.  Won't go back. End of story. I don't, nor will I ever bash WoW, since it has provided me with such a long period of enjoyment, but like everything...it has had its time with me.

      We can argree to disagree, and I hope you'll find peace someday, as you seem to be a little agitated for some reason...
