Pvp and Endgame in WAR a 10/10? Seriously?
-Raenz-
The funny thing is.. Do you think DAOC vs. ANYGAME is fair? DAOC wins hands down against all!
^^ yup
Only stopped playing briefly while I try out FFXIV
WAR pvp endgame 10/10? I'm going to go out on a limb here an say you haven't actually played the game have you...
The idea of these articles is a good one in general, but if you are going to give such mind-numbingly ridiculous scores then you really should just give up on the whole idea now.
"Come and have a look at what you could have won."
WAR endgame is much improved and a hell of alot better then alot of games end game out there. WOW s log in get a few Frost log out.
I like how all of a sudden mythis is adding at 3rd skaven faction to T4... lol... really? WoW had they realized this at relase and actually made 3 FACTIONS the game woudln't be where it is now... in my trash can.
WAR is an EPIC fail. DAOC is FAR superior.
I, as many have you played DAoC. I loved the game when it first started & still do. I've been back a few times after a 5 year run... I still miss it even after getting into other MMOS...
DAOC wins hands down!

Table-top war gaming is not a "board game."
I don't even believe in Jeebus.
Its funny, having seen these articles before I fast forwarded to the PvP section, when Warhammer won that, this article lost all credibility.
DAOC!!
Omfg what the hell is this, I still play daoc after 7 years or whatever. We played war for a month, then returned to daoc.
This is not even a competition! daoc clearly billion times better
Sort of funny. since they are both Mythic games.
i dont understand how these 2 products can even be compared to each other. its like comparing a classic 70's ferrari with a kids bicycle. DAoC FTW!!!
This article is hilarious. I tried War solely because it was a Mythic product. Dark Age of Camelot brought me to War..and I was bitterly disappointed in every aspect of the game. It isn't comparable to DAoC, not even remotely, and never has been. Graphics don't mean anything, especially since DAoC came out a decade ago, and at it's release it's graphics were top of the line.
I'd give anything to see another game like Camelot come out. Nothing has ever been able to truly compete for me. Stupid ToA ruined it..sadly..
Words, do not want. Everyone knows Mythic tried to make 'DAOC II' with WAR and failed. They should take the WAR engine and port DAOC over lock, stock and barrel and callit DAOC II, that would win
I would have a hard time believing the writer actually played Warhammer as well to any degree. The endgame is horrid.
DaoC > Warhammer any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
I just started playing DAOC recently and I have to say that, despite the older graphics and a UI that is a little tricky to figure out at first, it is by far the best MMO I've played. I really can't believe I'm just finding out how amazing this game is. All the developers out there with new games coming out and failing horribly could really learn a lot from this gem. I've played a whole of MMOs only to grow bored of most of them rather quickly but it seems I've finally found the holy grail, so to speak.

DAoC all the way. Four years of it and I only managed two of the three realms; the amount of content and class is vast. Specifically DAoC wins by a knock out three to two realms.
Which is a shame as WAR has many fine features. Tomb of Knowledge, quests and public quests, mirror classes that don't seem the same and great realm balance. Not to mention fantastic GW lore everywhere. As well as great PvP from the word go, in fact best PvP has always been at T1 (Levels 1 -11). Scenario are great too, for all that they blamed as a major weakness of the game (how can a feature that was too popular be the cause of a game failure).
Hopefully, Bio-Myth will remake DAoC but build in many of the fine features of WAR; I doubt they will pump the necessary cash to add a few for races into WAR, or completely restruct it so all races are in conflict.
Wow only 1 point difference...I think you will find allot of people on mmorpg.com will disagree.
But 10/10 End game for WAR is a joke...7/10 maybe

WAR couldn't win an ass-kicking contest versus a 1-legged man, all in all DAoC had a lot better design, structure & purpose to it,
WAR was a scenario-based game that Mythic spent a bloody fortune on developing only for it's test audience to hate it & tell them to make it a spiritual successor to DAoC, and they then switched tack & pushed out a pale shadow of it's predecessor, complete with now utterly unsuitable engine for that task, in the end it was a poorly coded, badly optimised linear boring & shallow game that didn't have enough game outside of what could have been an awesome PvP experience that was relegated to "okay" in order to retain a lot more players.
It's overblown hype-train sold a lot of boxes, but the karma bit it in the ass when the game tourists left in droves. Now it's on life-support being drip-fed short term fixes.
Thanks for the laughs, ( and I mean the intentional ones). " I'm not sure. What are you going to do to me in this tree?". LMAO.
I really am opposite to everyone here... I didnt like DAoC at all, and believe that WAR is actually one of the better games out there, sure it has some issues but I believe it is truly a solid game and I enjoyed playing it.
(to anyone who accuses me of joking... I assure you I am not joking or lying)
Is this some kind of joke? You are comparing a game that almost noone cares about after 2 years to a very old product.... The old product is still 50x better than WAR. War held my attention span for a WHOLE 2 weeks. I played DAOC for years. Please dont compare a half finished POS product with a game that was ground breaking and innovative.
DAOC wins hands down.WAR beta testers(I was one) knew it was dead meat before it was even launched.There weren't even keep fights in the initial WAR test version and that helps to explain why keeps are still messed up today. DAOC is THE best RVR game ever made...so far. What amazes me is why no one has copied the game with updated graphics and made a fortune.
I think that if I ever go back to playing any kind of MMO I'll just go back to DAoC. I've tried the rest, and if I start gaming again I'll just go back to the best.
I miss Midgard....
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
