I've always been the type of person to take everything with a grain of salt, but I have to admit there's too much bias towards WAR/WOW/AOC to get an accurate representation of this game. A game's first impression is it's most important. When players are biased they do not help new players form an honest opinion about the game. Players that are biased create an unhealthy amount of hype surrounding the game, which in turn causes players to be disappointed when the game does not turn out *exactly* as some random person on the internet says. I guess what I'm saying is I would like some honest, unbiased reviews of this game. I tire of all this Bandwagon-ing that's going on here on the forums. Comparing two games isn't a review, so please refrain from doing so in the future. It would really help people out like me who are interested in the game, but are still reluctant to spend their hard earned money when WotLK is so close to being released. Thanks, Esther-Chan

If anything after playing WAR i would say that WoW is dumbed down, War can be played like a noob or can be played Strategically there is a lot more going on in WAR than just good ol button mashing.
WAR is about WAR O.o no need for overpowered Warlocks that fear /spam range skill /fear rinse and repeat, WAR does not need Charge as every 1 that is generally in battle charges any ways, WAR does not need Feign of death cause if you don't have the guts to fight it out till the End then you don't have a place in WAR we don't need Cowards filling up our ranks. You want Dumbed down i will give you dumbed down WoW dumbed down graphics (although they are nice for what they are) Dumbed down Playability ( as in Boring) Dumbed down Community (in the most part) and so on and son.
If you have any doubts than just wait a few weeks/months. This game will stand the test of time. There is no need to rush and hype up as many box sales as possible before the word-of-mouth takes over.

So...what your are saying is that I won't have to spend months watching them constant go back over classes WITH fear? Oh, and I won't have to watch them BASICALLY render Feign Death useless in PvP? Or perhaps I will not, also, have to watch them redirect every last class in the game because they realize how unfair it is for a handful of them to have control but the others not?
The only thing you mentioned that carries any merit is fear...and really, fear is just a hold that makes you wander around for a few seconds. The same thing can be accomplished by rooting a players and moving behind him...and even then I could care less about not having it really.
On the flip side...WoW doesn't give me loot for PvP, nor does it offer me xp for it. The only way to "get" anything for WoW PvP is to grind honor, which basically only rewards you for PvPing for a week or more all the time. Then, you have to go grind out gold so you can fuel the PvP you are having all the time.
I would make a stab at YOU being a dumbed down version of something...but, I don't really feel like flaming THAT hard just yet today.
Originally posted by fingis WAR is WoW with slower combat.

And WoW is WAR without knockdowns, knockbacks, soft CC (gork says stop etc), collison detection, pull to you abilities (though I hear WoW copied that in xpack). WoW is a dumbed down version of WAR.
At least you finally removed no stealth from your list but people have proven the rest of your opinion wrong like 100 times on this board so why are you still trying?
I've been waiting for WAR for years and I was really excited when I was able to get into the open beta. After downloading 10gb's and installing the game, I have to say it F**cking sucks. WAR is a WoW clone and a bad one at that, the combat is slower, looting is a pain, the graphics/UI are the same and it's just plain boring. I'm not a big fan of WoW either, but I would much rather play it than spend anymore time in an unimaginative clone MMO with no innovation. I quit AoC in preperation for WAR, that was a bad move, even with all it's flaws AoC is still much better than WAR. I'm going to resub to AoC and just wait for all the people who jumped to WAR to come back after their 30 day sub is up.
I agree AoC is miles ahead of war in combat and gameplay. WAR is boring and a real grind to level, with the animation glitches and bugged mobs - the game is in a sorry state. AoC's revoluitionery combat mechanics really spoiled us i guess and WAR is a step backwards. Im playing AoC and loving it, the servers are jam packed.
if the servers are 'jam packed'; then, why is mythic already talking about server mergers?
i do not think 'jam packed' means what you think it means.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?

Fingis needs to remove charge from that list too, Maurader has charge.

AOC has the worst combat system of any game I've played in the last 4 years. Seriously stop going on about AOC because it stunk. Playing simon says to get off combos was just a bad idea period. It is almost impossible to balance in PvP and it just isn't any fun at all at higher levels. When our guild hit lvl 70+ we had a mass exodus to casters because nobody liked the melee system.
AS for 'fast paced', AOC combat has you push a button every 1 second and make a decision every 4-5 seconds at high level. WAR has you push a button every 1.4 seconds and make a decision every 1.4 second. THe only thing that really makes AOC 'fast paced' is that you can 1 or 2 shot players which is just terrible PvP balance in general.

Ladies and gentlemen! We've got another impatient speed clicker.
Let me tell you what...this game is going to have a great community. Less whiners = better community.
If you can't make it to keep sieges...I'm glad that I won't have to hear you complaining in the Trade Channel.
Not trying to be mean. Just keeping it real.

you might wanna look at this site before you spread false rumors http://warherald.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=266
doesn't look like a merger server to me.
Take the Hecatomb TCG What Is Your Doom? quiz.
