WAR (Warhammer Online)

A game that replaces a FULL 3D world you can fly over ...with pure and utterly crappy cut scenes of you being tied to a helicopter is a tribute to the downfall this gaming industry is now known for.

It takes at least 12 months to develop a full 3D world you can fly over, land everywhere you want and adventure in..

It takes 2 days to make a loading cut screen like in WAR.

Yes indeed THAT is about the difference between the vast superior quality some offer compared to the work of amateurs trying to do the “same thing”.

And do NOT enter in this discussion War fan boys, because in about EVERY other aspect of WAR this HUGE ugly gap is showing.
--------------------------------

From complete lacking intelligence in the Mob paths to extreme lacking control functions in PvP combat (yes CC DOES need MORE programming efforts), to complete absence of different (so more costly to develop) class resources (like mana).

This game is a laugh as an MMORPG – a WORLD you live in -

Everything is window dressing in this game. The high mountains are a cheap 2D camouflage to lure you into utterly crap of ‘tunnel vision” progress. A fixed road to just more of the same: bashing some heads of others, stupid enough to play.

Scenarios are a laugh. Some are being played on a post stamp.


The game’s ugliness is a new milestone of that famous new legendary one-liner :
“How to take the money and run with the LEAST effort possible.

Grtz to the intelligence of all people who don’t even notice the most obvious.

This WAR is about the deepest fall in the development of MMO Role Playing Games you can have.


It’s tasteless, boring and has an incredibly bad design (just look at the server caps which will strangle its own populations in two months time), but mostly it is CHEAP in execution.

 I wouldn’t even play it if it were offered free. Still a few days left on my cancelled CE tx to GOA, but I can't even log in anymore. I am too spoiled with the approach of real hi quality and polished games.

And I hope for the sake of the industry the annalists ARE right: - 250 K after three months - because that would even be too much honour.
 

"Facts are that all the above can be SEEN by anyone playing the game. No use denying."

Seems more like ranting and personal opinions...

I really love the instant travel in WAR. One of the things I really hated in WoW was having to sit there staring at my character doing absolutely nothing for 10 minutes while traveling somewhere. WAR's method lets the players focus on playing the game, rather than waiting for the game to let you play.

So far no one disputes the OP's claims with facts. He wins the argument.

If the OP is a wow fanboy: Yes, Warhammer is cheap, like fast food, but so is wow ;)

Well, maybe if he had some "facts" in his post i would answer with more "facts". The only argument he has is about fast, or whateva, travelling... i mean come on...the guy isnt even trying.

Facts?  He didn't post facts, only personal opinion, so there is nothing to argue; only ignore.

The OP  completely ignore that there ARE different class resources in ADDITION to action points. Like righteous fury for the Warrior priest or Waagh for the shaman and so on, so I guess he fails on that point.

As for CC, considering the devs had a fully working CC system in DAoC, I really doubt their choice of not having as much here is related at all with lazyness.

I could talk about the rest of the post, but I feel this small snippet sum the rest up very well (should be obvious why there are cutscenes for example instead of full flying paths, not the whole world is present in the game right now and some of those flight would take FOREVER to do, also WoW does not show you the whole boat trip from the continents, oh noes! what a rip off! it took me just 5 minutes instead of 5 hours!).

Silly boy, you mistakenly posted this in the War forum instead of the AoC forum .

Why is it on the interwebs that people think that other people care what they think? Its like they believe that because they say its so it is. Look mate (OP) no one cares what you think, really they dont. This is the internet and woe be it for me to infringe on your freedom of speech but NO ONE cares that you dont like the game. There will be some that say by replying to the thread that I am contradicting myself and that by replying I am proving that I do care. Not so. My opinion has as much value as the OP's, i.e. none. The OP wont care what I say and will find no value in it ......... see where im going with this? Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one but that dont mean that your opinion has value to anyone else. My advise would be, take a deep breath, turn off the PC go outside and reflect on the way your life is going because if you put this much importance on a game ..... yes a game, with what is happening in the world then you need help, really.

I wont respond to any flames to this post because I have better things to do like take the dog for a walk and stuff.

Thankyou.
