WAR (Warhammer Online)

I don't blame Mythic for releasing the game before WotLK and Moria.

But for the love of god, stop being brainless fanbois trying to defend the game like someone is beating your young brother with a shovel.

We are in 2008 and the game didn't have a damn NEW MAIL icon! It had to be patched post release in patch 1.0.3

http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=380

The game still doesn't have:

1. Item Linking (what year is this?)
2. Working Auction House Search
3. Synched Animations
4. Economy (money is worthless, even gold sellers don't have a job)
5. Decent Crafting System

I could go on and on but its pointless.

All this WOW was also unfinished at release talk is crap and not relevant. WAR has to compete with LOTRO and WOW in today's state not their release state.

Never argue with idiots. They are immune to logic.

Why did you make this post? Especially if this is your sig.

All you have to do is stop subscribing to a game you do not like.

You sound young...

Just... go somewhere else. Perhaps support a game that you like by posting praises or comments in those forums.

Quit thumping your bible... we don't want your preaching here.

Self knowledge would help here, if any post sounded "young" it's yours :)

1. Why did I make that post? Because its a forum where people share their views with the community. I simply sharied my pain of reading through fanboi post saying how WOW was this and that while this game is dying.

2. I did not mention anything about my subscription. You don't share my view so you want me gone?

3. I am middle aged.

4. "We don't want..." Who is we? Are you so self centered and important that you refer to yourself as WE?

I will probably leave sooner rather than later but I will tell you one thing: You can't PVP on your own, Mr. WE.

3.  Is a personal preference and to be honest I could careless about

4.  This was intentional they don't want people focused on the money grind..of course they should of made it possible to donate all money to the guild for keeps but whatever

I agree with the rest...when I got a look at the AH i was surprised at how shoddy it is and STILL is.  The fact Item linking isn't in amazes me even EQ1 has it.

None of these issues are deal breakers...the fact no one plays the central core of the game because of scenarios is the deal breaker for me.

I wont bash war because I do like the game...but they're driving me away with the bored to death scenario grinding just to get any pvp.

All this whining is pointless.  The game is great.  We went back to WoW Lich King and that lasted all of 48 hours.  We don;t see ourselves going anywhere for a loooong time to come.

The only thing that was not accounted for imo was the communication and the fact that they had too many servers. These two things are killing the game.

The small stuff is worthless anyway. (mail icon? this is a serious concern?) The game had teeth from birth when it comes to pvp and questing.

Most things that are worth getting are bind on p/u anyway so the auction house is an after-thought. They didn't promise an active economy, they promised pvp from level 1 and the ability to progress by several different means.

They have some distance between them and the "polished" title being the finish line, but I'd hardly say this game wasn't ready for release. Their strategy should have been to show people the largest and most active populations possible before reducing servers to spilling their population into other servers. They should have shown the gamers still questioning whether or not they should purchase the game a look at the initial servers being at max capacity.

Their implementation team needs to be fired, but the developers did a great job, and are continuing to improve on the small stuff.

The game probably could have used another month or so, but there are problems that aren't going to come up until launch.  The player base is always smarter than the dev team gives them credit for and will inevitably find work-arounds and exploits, the server load and big battles will cause problems that weren't forseen and game mechanics will be used in a way that wasn't intended.  They had to launch it sometime and I think it went incredibly smoothly all in all.

1. Cosmetic, most gear is BOP/BOE anyways. I have not missed this feature so far.
2. Works pretty good for me, some things are buggy i agree. Not a deal breaker for me as i can still find the stuff i am looking for.
3. Cosmetics, does not bother me at all.
4. That is actually a good thing. I totally support this.
5. While simple, i have seen worse. It is not collect, click craft all and wait to level up. It is not a mindless excercise like EQ. I think they hit the middle ground pretty good.

None of these things are gamebreaking and the game had the smoothest mmorpg release so far.
