WAR (Warhammer Online)

Reasons why Warcraft is the better game.

Log in screen.: You only have to escape out of the movie at log in once.

EUla: You only have to agree with EULA when a new patch is out.

Program: Warhammer takes over a gig of memory to run what is essentialy the same amount of graphics.

Interface: Warcraft has the more adaptable interface.

Chat Interface. Warcraft has the more adaptable and usable chat features.

Mail system. Warhammer can only send one thing at a time and the mail server is laggy.

Lag: I experience lag effects at three times the amount I ever had in WoW.

Combat System. Warhammer buttons are all on the same cool down which feels like you are hitting rubberbands. Spells and abilities have a noticable delay in proccing.

Class differienciation. Warcraft classes are totally different from each other. Where a Magus,Engineer, Squig Hunter, Shadow Hunter play about the same.

Emotes: Emotes are next to un-noticable in Warhammer.

Emmersion: With the different emotes for not only different races but classes and sexes, Warcraft tends to let the player more identify with his alt.

Instances: This is the dirty little secret of Warhammer. There are tons of different instanced areas on Warhammer.

Dungeons: While it is a known RVR/PVP game, Warhammer offers a couple of instances which are nothing but a string of PQs. The whole PVE experience is a total dissapointment.

PVP: Warcraft offers 2,3,5 man Arena fights. 10,15 and 40 man Battlegrounds. None of these have timers on them so you have to win not just get ahead and turtle. Then it offers several PVP World objectives
and soon with WotLK, it will offer instanced seiging. Most people will tell you that because of server imbalances most RVR doesn't happen in Warhammer.

Reliability: Simply put Blizzard has a lot longer to work out the bugs(and personally I think they have the better talent to do it too)

Communications: Blizzard hosts it own servers with player and dev tech assistance. The also give a better idea where they are heading with their patches.

And finally heart. After playing Warhammer for 2 months, I can tell you it just leaves you feeling there is something missing. I cannot imagine that I would play this game for 3 years like I did WoW.

Could never get into WoW. Tried it on release, trials (key letter s) and accounts from friends. Never could get into WoW.

PvE and Fluff/Emmersion (as in a digital world) is the only thing that bothers me about WAR.

DAoC felt like a mmorpg. WAR feels like a mmofps/rpg.

Not saying its a bad game. Im having fun and resubed again.  Just still waiting for UO2, SWG ( The real SWG not the game that carries its name now)  hell even a EQ (Early EQ not EQ2 or now EQ).

And no Darkfall doesnt interest me. I say that cause this site is full of DF fans. 

hrmmm...

I like War better.

Really, so can you go back to Warcraft forum. 

Heres how it is. 

PVE - Warahmmer pve is the same aqs everyone elses. Kill X amount of w/e, go here go there, find this. Thats it, always. You think it sucks? WoW quests are the same.

PVP - arena? Are you kidding me arena is run by druids, thank you come back later.

Communication- Yeah cause chuck norris is so appealing to hear of everyday, WAR players use Vent in most cases. (Kiddies arn't allowed on vent. so thats why barrens chat is the way it is and warhammer isn't

Realiability - A joke right? these guys are constantly throwing pacthes, minor patches to fix hings. Everyday theres at least a tiny pacth, unreliable. What a joke

Emotes - the dumbest thing ever in a MAN's game. You know, man's game with KILLING not HUGS!

Lag - upgrade ur rig, seriously

Emersion, yeah cause gnome knights make huge sense

The intro movie is good for WAR

You know what forget it, just another person who claims WoW is so great but isn't playing it but using the forum (I'm at work) so c yah around

You are comparing a 4,5 years old with a 2 month game... Is it comparable? No, why? Because Wow Had more time to fix, renew and innovate things. Stop trolling arround, go check some wow old screens, the firts ones that were taken when the game was released then come back and try to make comparisons!

P.S: And about that thing of seiging in Wow... guess what War Has It! And guess another thing Daoc (that is from the same creators) had it to and it was one of the first games to introduce it...

Wow is a very lame Copy of many games...bit of this... bit of that ... -.-''

{ Mod Edit }

While I thought WoW was a good game, it wasn't the best game I've ever played (still have a soft spot for FFXI). I lean towards WoW as a better done game but still...

Ive said some harsh things about WAR I thought to be true from how I saw it when I played it, but I don't think I'd ever come on the WAR site and post how much better WoW is as a topic starter.

I thought WAR was just meh, but it's not a horrid game. People like it fine, I won't talk others out of it, just give my opinions.

I think you may be crossing lines titling posts like this though. It only serves to bring in blind fanbois and hater trolls.. both who are worthless in their contributions.

Please don't do this this way.

Why War is a better game:

WoW looks like Saturday Morning children's vomit.

Did I mention how lame crafting is?
