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.
