I still don't get all the negative posts about the graphics. Sure on my gaming laptop (2.0 ghz core duo, 4 gig ram, 512 meg 8600M GT) it looks like and plays like shit, but on my desktop PC (2.4 ghz q6600, 8 gig ram, 8800 GT) it plays like a dream. When I first started looking at WAR a few years ago, I also didn't like the dark medieval feel, nor the bland textures in the game, but after looking at the WOW /WAR side by side screen shot comparisons, I'm convinced Warhammer's graphics are right where they need to be for a new MMO. Then after immersing myself in the universe for much of the open beta (and not logging into WOW), when I fired up Wow again I just realized how dated the World of Warcraft's graphics are.

I agree with many of the criticisms people have with WAR, but I truely believe it's a solid game with lots of potential. Playing the OB has done something to me over the past couple weeks; I'm just not interested in playing WOW at all, and WAR feels a bit, unfinished to me. I'm just not that interested in playing another game besides WAR, but I'm having problems with finding a class I truely love on the Order side. I would like to just play destruction, but in WOW I was on a PVP server with a vastly outnumbered alliance side (me being horde) and it just wasn't fun at all. Destruction is by far the most populated faction on all servers, so I feel like I shouldn't play them, even though the Marauder is the class that seems to hit home with my playstyle (duel-wielding fury warrior).

I think Aure hit the nail on the head and made me realize why I have so much hope for WAR, and why it's kind of put me in a gaming purgatory; i just want that same kind of pvp mmorpg experience i had with shadowbane for the short stint I had playing that game. There is just something about WAR right now that keeps me thinking about it, but puts me off everytime I go to make my character. I played 7 classes to levels 6-9 in OB, but settling on that one main char is so hard.

Sanctume,

I've really enjoyed your input so far in this and the other threads about Warhammer. Are you still on that server and is your guild multiboxer only? I'd like to single box warhammer, and it might be nice to join up with people in this community. What classes do you guys need?
