WAR (Warhammer Online)

after 2 hours of playing  I found it really enjoyable enough to hook me away from the WotLK beta

I feel dirty saying this but WoW crushes this game in most aspects.

WoW PvE is harder, more interesting, more dynamic and far more enjoyable.

WAR PvP is perpetual zerging and comes down to who has more healers/tanks.

The game requires no skill, just a wee bit of understanding and you're a solid player. This is in contrast to WoW where it actually takes some competence to be a top level arena competitor (If you doubt it, go roll a character, win a tourny, and get 50 grand).

Tippy top RvR is almost fun, but not even equal to the new Battlegrounds Blizzard is coming out with in their new expansion.

Ever since I got my beta key several months ago, my opinion of the game has not really improved. It was boring, it is boring, and it will be boring.

I'l cut it short....WoW is a lot better

My thoughts so far?

A big one is why did Funcom have to feck up so much, seriously if they  just put out a more polished product it would wipe Warhammer.

What I like about War.

1) The interface is fast and very easy to understand, good interface

2) Public quests are nice

3) So far it has very few bugs.

What I dont like.

1) Combat...AoC has spoiled me, the melee and ranged combat is very average indeed, compared to AoC its substandard.

2) The graphics are dated. Dont care what anyone says, they simple are.

3) The animations for spells etc, and some aspects of melee, are pretty poor.

4) Character customization is ok, but nothing briliant, again AoC is better, not by much mind.

They put out WoW with a Warhammer skin, im sure it will do ok, but i just wonder, in 6  months when Funcom have dx10 compatibility out, some new content, and hopefully most of the bugs fixed....what then? I will be interesting to see if people give it another whirl when they pump the videos.

whats your setup?

I like the fact that it runs really well on my craptastic machine

windows xp, 1.5gigs of ram, AMD Barton 2500+, ATI x1650 agp

the witch hunter class has been a lot of fun. I like the mix gun/sword play so far

I see how this will be a nice fun game come release

I havent done RvR yet but thats cause time been limited

just hoping to see how it is when i hit the open beta lvl cap and how couple other classes play

to see if i wanna drop the 50bucks

though my wife would let me because that means i wont be playing WoW which she despises

Id have to say WoW is better too... "my fingers hurt and I got kinda nauseous when I typed that"

But its true.   Now WAR isnt even released yet.  Its got tons of patches and new content ahead.  It could very well blow me away this time next year.  But for now... nope.
