WoW to WAR and back again

[Alienenduro]

Afternoon all,

How many of you have gone from WoW to Warhammer and then back to WoW again? How many of you have switched to Warhammer and plan on staying? Would you say Warhammer is a step up from WoW or just a time filler until WoTLK?

Went from WoW to WAR, Did a 180° and started to 5box in WoW.
I'd call it a filler..

I went from DAOC to AoC, back to DAOC. Then DAOC to WAR and back to DAOC, but now the DAOC population is terrible, so I rolled 5 toons in WoW.

Same here. Warhammer feels like DAoC on steroids, mixed with Guild Wars. The user experience is dull and dampened, interaction with the world doesn't feel good and stimulating.

like i use to say: u can try all mmo's and have fun. in the end theres always wow.

Warhammer is my pvp game. WoW is my pve game. Depends on my mood.

I canceled my 5 WoW accounts while I level up my WAR character. Once I hit 40 and am mostly participating in my guild's activities I will consider reactivating WoW but right now its just not worth the money.

I tried out AoC for 2 months, but I don't think WAR will even get me to try that second month. The game itself is great, like AoC, and it definitely feels more "complete." My biggest gripe, and the one that prevents me from enjoying it, is the way abilities work. Animations are static-length, so with spell pushback you'll see your spell go off well before it actually does. Nothing like seeing my sorc's doombolt fly to the target and they don't take damage for 2s. If you move after the animation finishes, the spell cancels. Same thing with the ice spike graphic. It's supposed to be instant-cast, yet I often sit there spamming the button and it takes 2-3 seconds to go off. Sometimes the animation will go off after the spell casts, so the people who get hit with it aren't the people where the graphic is.

Then there's morale abilities, which you can click 105921037418094731284 times and they don't fkn go off. It feels like WoW with horrible latency, all the time.

I won't even get started about the mail lag... but when 5-10s latency to open a mail starts to feel fast you know there's something wrong.

My friends and even the computer store guy tried to convince me to go to WAR, but I really can't see myself doing that. WoW feels to good to me to leave it.

I bought WAR along with a few friends even after being less than mildly impressed from the beta. I rolled Zealot since I've had a priest main since the beginning of WoW and healing has become my staple in both PvE and PvP. I have a 70 of almost every class in WoW (sorry warrior i'll finish you someday) and quad box as well so I could never give up WoW. I had shelved WoW until WotLK though and after 2 grueling weeks of pumping out zealot anger in WAR i reopened my quad box on wow and donated WAR to one of my friends that is keeping it in an attempt to corrupt him into dual boxing. I barely got my zealot to the upper 20's and I spent lots of time with my friends and their different classes and it became readily apparent to me that I HATE the PvP in WAR. Its movement and player reactions are about as fluid as fresh vomit. I started counting my deaths per hour from 'Morale' abilities failing to cast due to the bug i seemed to experience where mashing a button gives you a "Ability not ready" warning despite the ability becoming ready in the middle of your mashing. With absolutely no hope of PvE content having a point in WAR i didn't see myself going back to it and I secretly hope i corrupt my friend into boxing and then I can drag him back to WoW

P.S. The graphics in WAR were pretty impressive except for the choppyness on rare occasion in inevitable city but sigh maybe WotLK will impress me further than it did in beta (EDIT: Graphically impress me i mean... gameplay was :thumbsup: in WotLK beta.
