WAR (Warhammer Online)

At this point i'd say no.If they make some improvements like smoother less contrived combat with npc's,better chat system,smoother character movements....there are many improvements that have to be addressed.the game has potential but right now it seems like an incomplete game and not worthy of my 15 beans a month.

I wont unless they fix the lag, stuttering issue. I may be the minority here with this problems even though ive tried everything. But i really have enough of this crap, been trying to fix the problem everyday since HS.... its getting very disappointing....

If GOA doesn't get of their behinds then it's not even a question for me, even the best game in the world can't be supsribed to without a working website to do it on!

Other than that I just may have found a new home for a while in WAR, it's much better than I expected it to be so far. However I only played low lvl yet so my opinion may still change.

Easily going to subscribe to this one. The bugs I have seen have been fixed fairly quickly and the game is just BETTER than anything out there right now. For those having issues with graphics, lag, stuttering, you may want to get more RAM or a faster vid card. I have none of these issues with 3 gigs of ram, dual core processor and 2 7600 nvidia 256mb cards in SLI mode. Game looks great, especially the detail on character models and armor.

Go to warhammer-alliance tech forum and user to user help forum, you will see that there's alot of  players with those stats and better are also getting the same problem. The problem is coming from Mythic side, and not players pc...

OFC i will

Actually, there are numerous people using dual and quad core with 4gb RAM (myself included) that are experiencing massive 'game breaking lag' and poor performance. Just type in warhammer stutter in your search engine and see. Yeah, drivers, anti virus, flash bios, reinstall  etc etc etc 

Unfortunately, the game was rushed out well before it was finished to get in before WotLK before they committed to Blizzard again. Sadly, this has gone really wrong and they are hardly likely to admit to game breaking problems at this stage. AoC all over again

I really hope they fix it soon as the game has some great features, character customisation, PQ's, tome of knowledge etc but at the moment it's badly coded, crawling with bugs and no where near optimised enough for large numbers of players.

In answer to the OP, no, I'm not paying a sub fee as well for a half finished game. I didn't do beta but have submitted 24 bug reports so far, for a so called finished product, this is bad

I have the same issue with lag, stuttering etc.

I have 3Gb Ram (well 4Gb but I am on 32bit XP) & the 'Nvidia 8800 GTS' so I should be fine, but it's pretty obvious that it isn't really a memory/card issue when the problem persists even at the lowest settings. 

I think I have tried every suggestion I have read now, right down to patching the 'usersettings.xml' file to remove 'Specular Lighting' & 'Light Maps' because the ingame custom control options don't work.

None of them really made any difference though & the game is pretty much the same on both high & low settings, apart from obviously looking much nicer on the former.

I know that many people are running the game happily even on fairly low spec hardware, but unfortunately there are quite a few of us that aren't so lucky.

To return to the OP's question though, I think I probably will renew at the end of the trial as despite the lag issues I still enjoy the game a lot & I am trying to be optimistic about Mythic fixing the performance bugs.

I know I wont be AOC just has way more to offer and the PVP is just way to carebear for me personally. Happy little dwarfs and goblins along with the metrosexual elfs I wonder if this game was made by queer eye for the straight guy producers. I got to level 4 and it was way to boring and I just cant get into the carebear stare mechanics of the combat system.

i'm one of the ones that wants to like the game, but i'm really irked with a lot of the bugs...

i'm sorry, but i don't understand your post.   what in the world are you talking about with "carebear stare mechanics of the combat system".  is that metro-slang for something?

i'm glad you're enjoying aoc... how are those battle-keep sieges going?  lots of nonstop pvp action fighting for the battlekeep slots?  or is it just the pve keeps... 

see what i did there?  carebear = pve keeps only, yet you're rambling aimlessly about carebear stare something or another that didn't make any sense.

i had high hopes for aoc...  maybe in a few years, if the graphics aren't too dated... i'll give them a call.  if the game has evolved and gotten better, like other games have over time... eve online and the "city of" games come to mind.

edit:  back to the op...

if they get some basic game features fixed sooner than later (i.e. sending messages, ignore (for the massive amount of gold spammers), items/mobs/parts of your toon disappearing at random, crashes to desktop, getting kicked back to character and/or server select screens at random times, and a number of other issues already mentioned in this thread)... then yeah, i may re-sub.   as is, i've got whatever's left of the 30days left.
