How many of you guys are going to give WAR a test run?

[BGuru]

I read a post somewhere today where someone said they were looking for a MMO where they felt they couldn't wait to play as soon as they got home. Warhammer is a game I can't wait to play every chance I get.

So far (up to rank 10) I love every aspect of Warhammer and I it just gets better everyday.
Tonight I played a Zealot and I think it may not be the class for me.

Everything I see about the WoW expansion seems like just more of the same old thing, level to max level and raid, in Warhammer I have fun from the time I log in at level 1. In WoW it always felt like a grind with no fun until I was max level and then it is a grind to get better loot to raid bigger raids.

Warhammer is an extremely fun PVP game. The Pve aspect isn't bad, and there is just so much depth in the Warhammer IP that it carries over into the game world. The Tome of Knowledge is cool, the public quests are fun and interesting, the newbie zones are true to the motto "war is everywhere" and the dark fantasy setting is really immersing. I've played the game on a couple different machines, on my laptop it runs pretty clunky with plenty of choppiness, while on my home desktop it is smooth as butter and looks truely amazing.

I doubt boxing in warhammer will be nearly as good as wow for the first several months, but boxing is something that I started to do in WOW to extend the game's lifecycle, so i'm not that interesting in boxing with War until the game begins to lose it's charm. I can't see that happening anytime soon. I think it's gonna have plenty of great gameplay and mythic seems like a good company that will keep improving it.

I'll def be giving it a try. Even if it's just for something to do before wotlk. Not planning on multiboxing it though.

i have been trying to two box it. I'm doing it the Old School way atm ( will try HKN ) or something like it later. But I'm thinking about just playing one for a few weeks. I plan on playing a Rune Priest. I played closed beta on and off for over a year. I never felt like it was going to be better than WoW for me. Il give it a shot now thats its almost live and see how much it changed. I am a multi-boxer at heart. So if it never feels fun multi boxing it, I wont be there long.

253 in a line of 500 :[ drinkin' coffee; levelin' my shams to kill time. I've been looking forward to this game for a while. I was sort of upset when I heard they were chopping content, but it seems like some of you REALLY enjoy it. So based on that, I'm willing to try it. 141 minutes left....

Even if they did chop content, there's plenty for leveling.

I mean, as Dwarf, I do my Chapter 1, 2 and 3 town quests to get to level 10. I won't be seeing content for Chapter 1, 2, 3 for the Empire (Human) unless I go there from level 1 (it's doable).

On the other hand, I can roll another toon and do the early Empire chapters to see that content.

I will be buying warhammer. Graphics are very good, although the characters seemed less fluid than I imagined they would be. The level of world detail was outstanding (waves actually roll in on the beach). The UI is very familiar. I maxed all the graphics settings and didn't lag, freeze, chop at all. PvP / RvR was fun. Two hours was not enough time to make any kind of real statement about the games play quality. I didn't get blown away like i did with wow, however, I didn't feel as overwhelmed either. I realize i have only had a taste, but I look forward to taking another bite.

It's strange for me to hear so many people praise WARs graphics, because that's one of the things that bothered me the most. It just seems very amateurish to me, definitely not what I was expecting from one of the top few MMO developers out there. I seriously was wondering if I'd just loaded up a DAOC expansion or something, particulary the character models. I'm sorry, they just aren't up to standard imo.

Going beyond the look, I felt like the combat mechanics just aren't as tight as wow. Now, to be fair, wow has the tighest mechnics of any mmo that I've played, but come on, this is 4 year old game now, I think I should be able to expect people to do at least as well.

I also had a couple of things happen that didn't really smack of quality. One time, I ran by the mob and agro'd it. It followed me what must've been the equivalent of like 1/2 mile, but not seamlessly, it was "glitching" back and forth (best way I can describe it) the whole time. This was WAAAAY more than any mob ever followed me elsewhere in the game, so it really stood out to me.

And finally, I died because I got stuck in a dungeon with mobs agro'd on me that were "evading", but in WAR evading mobs apparently stand in one spot and continue to attack you while being immune. Very frustrating.

I don't know, all in all a very disappointing experience for me from a game I've been waiting a long time for.

My sentiments, exactly.

Not even a boredom issue.

After playing closed/open beta and today's headstart I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth it to n-box unless you are doing sorc/bright wizard.

There's just way to much going on.
