WAR (Warhammer Online)

So I had the best fun I had so far with this game a few days ago. I was roaming Order territory with a Dark Elf and ganking/ambushing players whilst queing up for scenarios.

It was a blast, particularly the 'world pvp', I was doing exceptionally well because I am by nature a very competitive gamer and in one scenario was miles ahead of anyone else in terms of damage/kills. Which made me log off that day very satisifed because I love to be on top.

Anyway the point is I've tried to log in today and yesterday, looked around for about 5mins and just logged off again. I just cant bring myself to play it for some reason. It's almost like I've experienced all the game has to offer and I just don't care anymore.

It's like I know how the game will pan out, sort of when you go through halfway of a SP game and just stop playing because you know the rest will be all the same. I remember moment of intense, exhilerating pvp in WoW in the good ole days, and the pvp in this game reminds me of that and even a little bit more... but to what end? Suddenly it all feels pointless.

Because it is all pointless when your hard work and accomplishments actually have no impact on the game world proper.

You're ready for the next level.  If you want to play a game that has this now, try EVE.  But if its not your bag (and I understand, its not for everyone) then keep an eye out for DFO later this year (I hope)

So you feel like you've done this before? Let me guess, you've played WoW? I got the same feeling.

I was exactly the same in beta.  Played and then...why bother?  The game is so shallow, easy and devoid of anything special it gets stale so quickly.  The clunky combat makes it even worse.

Its the WoW model, definitely, but they dumbed it down and streamlined it so severely that there's just nothing left in it that's interesting.

If you are not trolling and are really looking for something differant seriously...try eve dude. I am liking warhammer so far its fun it is maintianing my interest, have I done it all before yeah..but its still amusing. Not into wow , good game loota fun just burnt out on it, not interested in wotlk expansion. AoC not worth talking about (IMO) TR didn't hook me, the new bioiware title looks interesting though.

Eve is like a fuk buddy, even if you dont love her you will keep coming back.. just something about it and if you can afford to run the 2 games at once you can always kick in some 35 day training cycle and play something else while your eve char cranks out skills. STEEP learning curve if you are a mouthbreather you won't GET eve lol but if you can get past the begining it is a jam, nothing like smoking someone in eve nothing, bar none. If you are competetive and like the fear of losing ALL your shit and having your body sent back to a jar of goo, you might get off on EVE.

GL hope you find something keeps you interested man.

i think all their effort was spent in advertising, because the game play and design is lacking.   melee combat is so slow and dull, spells look just as stupid as they did in daoc, and character models look like some of the repulsive artwork out of a f2p asian game.

You sound like someone I'd hate in the game, but on the other matters I agree with you. Welcome to the club.

How can it be that people need to play for 14 days to come to this conclusion?

I guess age and experience do matter. I would have bet 7 days and getting bored was the max for War.

But apparently people are so desperate to like something new, they don't see behind the emptiness of bashing heads.

Hehe I am not THAT type of gamer that you're thinking of, when I play MMOs I am very friendly and social with the people around me and I never harass my teammates for making mistakes or being 'noob', I just focus a lot on PvP and being good at it.

I'd like to add that I have tried EvE and unfortunately just could not get into it, I have friends who play it/used to play it.
