Ok, so I'm wondering again because this is the not the first movie I noticed this....is there going to be an AI in this game or are all the mobs non agro? I haven't seen mobs do much of anything so far but react to being attacked.
Of all the vids I have seen so far it looks like combat in WAR feels very static. All you apparently can do is get some distance to the enemy, pull it to you with a ranged weapon and the you press buttons to activate certain maneuvers. But the char basically is standing at the same spot during combat until the fight is over.
I am coming from DDO, where combat is much more lively and active. Characters jump in and out of combat, you can tumble around attacks, you can evade ranged and close combat attacks, etc. Fighting as a whole is a lot more involving and asks for timing and situational awareness during a fight. In WAR it seems that combat is more or less the same kind of thing as I've encountered it in games like EQ, WoW and the like.
Now, is this just a wrong perception on my side and there is going to be a more active element in WAR combat or is it going to stay like one can see from the videos presented in this thread?
I am not a twitch gamer but I prefer to actually do something when I am in a fight Just standing around, pressing buttons and wait until either I or my enemy is lying on the ground is not really what I envision as a thrilling fight

the quality was bad the character was ugly she was like ,rank1 the music was unfitting she was too zoomed out (this matters a lot)
Regarding moOrbid
He's a Troll
He's a wow fan
He ignores all wow beta movie are as dull if not duller.
He ignores that the music isnt from the game
He is sad he couldnt see the cleavage at 200x zoomend in factor
difference is Blizzard dont release till its ready but EA release before it's ready.
No MMO is "ready" I played wow when it came out, server instability, looting problems, invisble monsters hitting you, unable to ressurect, quests bugged, quest items not giving.

1. Most of WAR's game play videos are PvP, things look odd and slow because the players are playing them that way.
2. Most of the character's people are choosing to video record themselves playing are ranged based characters. I've seen very few people playing the Tank classes (there are some videos I'm sure I've just not looked because in all honesty Player Made videos from cons are really shittily done ).
3. I've not looked at many of the PvE videos but in the one from the OP its a bunch of Squigs...they're not being used by a Squig Herder so.. they aren't exactly trained to go Kill a dwarf. Animals don't always attack on sight unless you piss em off.
4. Slannmage...So Far since EA and Mythic Merged EA has been extremely accomdating and wanting to put out a polish game. They've not Once given Mythic any argument on release date push backs. So your assumption they'll release something unfinished as far as Mythic's game goes is unfounded (can't speak for all the generic sports games / crap they put out from their In House departments).
While I am far from an EA supporter...I have to say for once EA has earned a tad of respect from me by letting Mythic do what they think is best. Oh and Blizzard may release stuff thats well 'polished' but hardly 'finished' and hardly 'bug free' not to mention it takes them over 3 years to release 1 expansion pack which is just...suckass in the MMO world.
Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!

You obviously did not play wow at launch. If you had you would know that a chunk of the games content had not been completed and the stats on gear sets were changed all over the place, PLUS some gear sets still just had place holder graphics. Personally, i think they did not anticipate that many people wanting to pvp, which caused Blizzard to not worry about 'gear balance' before release. Not to mention the server crashes that sometimes lasted for 24 hours and counltess other problems with just logging into the game. Please go be stupid somewhere else.

Blizzard wasent ready, no MMO is
WoW was easily one of the most ready MMO's ever released. Most of the problems any can chalk up to the WoW release had to do with the servers not being able to handle the population, *not* with the status of the ingame software itself. The game ran perfectly in beta and bugs were few and faaaaar between. Release day and the massive popularity is what shook it up.
I'd take a game where I know at least the game itself is fine if they get the servers up to a game I can get into but the game itself is severely bugged and flawed any day.
Dont worry im sure WoW's new "next gen" MMO there making would be stolen ideas from WaR, and several other MMO's.
I havent seen Blizzard actualy "invent" or come up with "own ideas" just mindless stealing, no innovation.
Either that or the wow fanboys are bored waiting for the new expansion pack that wil give 1 Hero Class that isnt even a Hero class but just another standerd class.

Someone please put my mind at ease about this:

Back that up, because I am not seeing the reasons EA would release an unfinished product.
