WAR (Warhammer Online)

meaning is it one of those point and click mmos that people hate so much?

if it is.... can someone tell me how actual player skill is involved when fighting

is there more to the tactics then just clicking on the enemy???

and can u manually dodge block parry attacks and arrows??

thanks

No, its just like WoW combat (if you ever played WoW)

There is no real player skill except trying to run in circles trying to stay out of your opponents LOS while clicking buttons waiting on cool-downs to recycle.

Only when grouped together, no different than any other MMO currently out.

No, combat is already pre calculated server side and simply passes animation to client with combat text information (i.e. location, damage, hp,...etc..).

thanks

your welcome.

I'm not in beta, but from what most people are saying, skill determines the win in rvr, I don't think you can manually dodge, and healers get a bit of a twist I like the sound of, where you have a friend and an enemy targeted at the same time to do damage and heal without clicking everyone.

That is an OVER-HYPE statement many fanbui's use and its incorrect, NUMBERS determine win in RvR along with Levels! Skill only comes from a well organized VoIP guild or wargroup period.

Skill is required at the team level.  A team with good strategy can kill a team with bad strategy.

That statement is no more true for WAR as it is for WoW though and most any MMO probably which makes it sort of meaningless, at least on a comparison level.

An MMORPG and skill?...hmm no, no, no please tell me, have you ever played an MMORPG that requires skill?

tactics? yes you will have to discuss with your party in RvR which enemy you will kill first to last, and you have to get it right, because if you dont you will not be a very succesfull party at all :)

peace, devoux

OK, yes the combat is skill based, if you RvR but no more than another other game with team based PvE.

needed skill for planetside, that was an mmo

There is little to no skill in WAR.

However, in open world RvR - the winning team is usually decided by the tactics they choose to use.

Personally, I prefer it that way. It avoids many of the more "silly" FPS skills such as bunny hopping, dolphin diving and aim bots.
