WAR (Warhammer Online)

Who cares if WAR is this way?  Diablo 2 was more of a ladder than anything else, and I played the hell out of that game.

I read your post and the first thing I thought was FANBOY.

 

Best thing to do to a Troll....  Block the troll.  Hey look another Troll.

 

I thought the OP was having a random discussion, not sure what all the hate is about...People are too touchy here, i read the OP couple more times, i fail to see where he is trolling the game.

Yeah but Manchine was upset by the OP because it hinted at the possibility that maybe the game design of WAR is very basic. To a Fanboy (which is what Manchine definately is) anyone that doesnt cast WAR in a purely positive light is viewed as an enemy and will be called a Troll in an attempt to crush any perceived threat to the Fanboys dream-like vision of the game. Of course more normal people can enjoy a game even when they know that it is shallow and simplistic as its saving features can be enough to pass the time in a reasonably enjoyable way. To a Fanboy though the game has to be AMAZING for them to get enjoyment from it. Its just standard practice on these forums......its just a pride thing I guess.

EQ, EQ2, DAOC and WOW were all the same way, they just hid it better. AC and UO were not like this and were what people call sandbox games, too bad they both were mediocre games and got boring fast.

Careful what you say there. You may get an angry mob of Fanboys descending on you with pitchforks and flaming torches.

Superb post and many excellent responses.

I might have to read it all again later.

Man, you sum it all. A ladder. There is a lot of things I did enjoy with WAR, but there where too much I didn't. And one of the main thing was this! It's a ladder!!!!!    As I said, it will be a niche game, you'll see in a couple of month.

Oh my gosh! Hush! Be quiet will you! Have you no sense man?! There is far too much agreement with the ladder theory going on in this forum. The fanboys will hear you if too many of you agree. Just keep it down and pretend that its the new future of mmos and hopefully they will pass you by.

It is quite amusing isnt it. I think its dieing off now though as Rabenwolf seems to have gone to bed. He left the Troll costume and the toy ladder near the door though so I think he will be back later.

     The OP was not trolling the game, he was trolling the fanbase.

      

 

 

Exactly.  :) 

Well, Raben stopped posting in page 3. So he was either overwhelmed by all you people who know and can realize that all mmorpgs can be a ladder from a certain perspective. Or Raben went back to playing the ladder.

Either way:

LMMFAO

What you say is true..... to an extent.

I would have worded a lot of things differently however. When you say things like "There is no world" and "There is no actual depth to the game world you are just asking for flames from players that very much enjoy the content.

The idea that you are going from the bottom of the ladder to the top of the ladder, yes this is obviously correct because in almost every MMORPG you start small and work your way up.

Thinking that the playerbase does not know the game for what it is, i'm sorry but it just makes you sound slightly arrogant. You are on the same level as everyone else, and thinking that you are the only one who recognized this is just wrong.

Regardless, you are for the most part correct (in my opinion). Just be sure to use a /flameshield next go.
