So, from what I remember 2 days ago, everyone was up in arms about how this game isn't like WoW. In your post, from your personal experience, you're saying it is like WoW. In fact, it's like WoW in a lot of ways. So, the same people that "WTFBBQ YOU'RE AN IDIOT THIS GAME IS NOTHING LIKE WOW DO SOME RESEARCH" are now saying "oh yeah? this game is like WoW? cool, looking forward to it."
Laugh.
This game is similar to wow.
When you first start playing it you will think "hey this is alot like wow" but as you play it you will see that it goes in a completely different direction than wow.
The people who say its not like wow are right.
Wow and War are both MMos, much like christian bale and george clooney are both batman;one is cool and new and will kick you in the balls, and the other one came out a while ago and got old fast.
These games share similar gameplay elements,and a semi similar art style, albeit war is much darker than wow, and has much better animation and graphics.
You will notice that while wow uses 1 "special" attack animation per race for any time you do a special attack, WAR has all sorts of different animations for different moves.
There are lots of little things like that, but the main difference is the general focus of the game and thier approach to the design of things.
War is made to be a fun game, wow is made to be a second job.
Another thing wow players willlike is that the game has a UI layout editor which lets you move all the elements of the UI wherever you want and scale it etc.
Originally posted by GreenChaos But it just has to suck. Because every new MMO sucks Non of them are as polished as WoW. Or have the depth of WoW. Or are as big as WoW. It's not a sandbox. Why pvp if there is no penalty. It looks like crap. WHAT ABOUT END GAME. Instancing. Sandbox polished DEPTH OK I got it. I bet it's lacking in content.
Sandbox? um, WoW is not anything remotely sandboxy so why are you comparing it to WoW and then saying sandbox?
WoW is shallow. WoW's engine is of lower quality than Warhammer's. End game is RVR.

It is nothing like WoW. The only thing that is like WoW is the polish, combat mechanics, and quests on the minimap (if you read any past comments I've made on WAR, you would know I was always fine with that). Renown (basically pvp exp) has no diminishing returns like old school honor. There is no need to grind rep + honor like the old BG rewards. You will not be grinding for renown like the current honor system. Once you reach whatever renown rank you're aiming for you can purchase the gear for it right away, no marks, just money.
All the quests I have done have pretty much no grind to them. I haven't had to do any Nessingwary's type shit at all. As a matter of fact I haven't had to kill over 6 mobs yet. On top that they have Kill Collectors. You don;t even need to get a quest from the dude. If you happend to kill a bucnh of the mobs he wants, when you see him he will give u exp.
Also, I don't ever remember a time when I was lvl 1-10 participating in AV sized battles in WoW, but that's what I've experienced in WAR. I do remember a time when you could turn in marks for exp... marks you also needed to purchase gear (edit: maybe you didn't need it for gear back then... it's been a while). I've been leveling up a lot through pvp in this game. There are pvp quests (something WoW just recently added) and exp from PKs.
Basically, WoW wants you to bust your ass and grind forever. WAR seems like it was made for you to actually have fun with the game. Let's be real... nobody likes to grind and Mythic understood that. They also understand people don't want to bust their ass for months just to be competitive in PvP. Face it, a casual would get maybe one piece of armor a week in WoW. This is not the case in WAR.
Keep in mind I've only been in the beta since the CE guys got in recently. So this is my opinion from the little time I've spent playing the game.
I'm not saying the game is like WoW, I'm saying the OP references many similarities to WoW and that the people that hated that comparison before are literally embracing it now (either that, or ignoring it).

I admit I didnt go look up his other posts.
It is often difficult to separate sarcasm from stupidity on a forum.
My bad I guess lol
