Don't waste your money (trust me)

I have to say that I am one of the gamers that is very disappointed.
Art is subjective, but man, the game to me looks and feels like it was made for 8 year olds. I grew tired of it in 15 min much less can I imagine myself spending HOURS in this world. I understand that it's based on the Warhammer IP and this predates WOW by 20 years but I still don't like it. The art, in a word, sucks.
The movement is VERY clunky and annoying. It's terrible.
The character customization is a flat out JOKE. Not to mention the class choices left me unsatisfied. I found that there was not ONE SINGLE CLASS that I wanted to play.
The way the zones are set up is especially uninspiring. Not only are they smallish, but there is only a tiny portion of it set aside for RvR. I just don't like the design as it feels like an afterthought; and it was, according to the developers (originally they planned to have instanced "scenario" battles only).
Oh, and no player housing? No thanks.
In fact, I'm kinda pissed I bought into the hype. Paul Barnett is a great personality and he hyped this game to the max. But it's just not fun to play.
My 2 cents.
I miss the good ol' days when nerds were actually intelligent.

You know, you can give your subjective views, and not try to convert people to not buy something.
I think they call the ability to make up your own mind, free will.
Some of your observations i agree with, others, not so much. but to call it a waste of money? How about letting the reader decide based on a objective discussion?

Graphics and player housing are really low on my list of priorities but personally I like the graphics. I certainly like them more than CoH or EQ2 or Vanguard or WoW which are all much less than 8 years old.
War with Player Housing = WTF???!?!?!?!?!?!
You're so cuckoo.
Don't even try to categorize EQII with War. kthxbye.
Don't listen to the OP. He is clueless (trust me).
He obviously doesn't understand that WAR is based on LARGE SCALE RVR. This is not a hardcore PvE game. The graphics are excellent, considering they allow 150+ people to be on the screen fighting at once, without a single hitch. Housing? ROFL, please.
OP.. get a clue before telling people not to waste their money.
I can see why you'd be upset, but if you bought into the hype, then you're probably just as angry with yourself than at Paul Barnett. There's a reason they tell the story of jack and the magic beans to this day.
Some things we have to see and expetrience for ourselves. I thank you for the forewarning though, as colored as it was.
Wow thanks we'll take your day 1 first impression review to heart and save our money. Why would anyone listen to you when there are hundreds of well written, fleshed out reviews from players who have played all the way to Tier 4, and over 95% of them enjoyed it and bought the game when it launched. Don't waste my time (trust me).
Ya, I'm sorta surprised that someone that is a dedicated SWG player would cast out such personal choice views as the level to guage the game.
I mean, You don't like a class, you couldn't play for hours, you didn't like the custimization.
You should really back them up w/ reasons you think they aren't great then then broad generalizations. I'd expect someone that deals w/ the SWG hate on a regular basis to be able to objectivly review a game.
No need for this to become a flamefest.

if you want RvR everywhere, then play on an open RvR server. duh.
oh and as for the play housing, that is just a waste of resorces imo. ooo look i got a bunch of crap in my fake home that i dont even use, nor does anyone visit.
WAR is fun, and the RvR is fun, even for my gf who hates any sort of PvP. the class decriptions arent all that great yes, but they tend to be your standard classes, and more will be added later i bet.
I wish the game felt more like a world. But some of the classes are enjoyable. This game will do for awhile.
I'm kinda shocked. It took you longer to type this out then the time you spent in the game. That's weak in my opinion. 15 min in game and you say to trust you? Trust me you should play the game more then 15 minute before you post your flat out opinion of the game.
Well, you're obviously more interested in aesthetics and player housing than actual gameplay.. I'm sorry you don't enjoy the game, but please don't try to spew your poison and scare off potential subscribers.
<--- SWG forums are that way.
Waiting for Fallen Earth, World of Darkness, Old Republic, FFXIV
LOL. The movement is not clunky and is very solid and smooth. Get a better computer. The art is very fitting for this game read up on the lore. The character customization is better then wow but not as good as LoTRO. Class choices are plenty with each one different from the others. Play Open RvR if you want a better RvR experience CORE servers are for PvE with choice PvP. There are very few games that have player housing and I am sure it will be added sometime. You sire are an idiot playing for 15 minutes? No wonder... it takes til you get level 8+ to really start enjoying the game to its potential. Stop voicing your opinion when you show you know nothing about he game while doing so.

Yay... im just one of manny, who are happy that you arent gonna play then
The only thing i can see myself agreeing with is not finding the class i wanted to play. Seemed like i would have to play every single one, which i dont mind being behind the first couple of high lv generations.
Anyways your over exaggerating everything by a mile... the zones are meant to be small for easy rvr action... and i dont know many 8 year olds who would have the patience for this game, not alone capable of reading / following directions.
Oh.. Player housing doesnt mix with WAR very well... especially when your busy fighting order/destruction.
Its easy to pee in the toilet, but most of us dont.
Yep, I hate any forms of PvP but I could stand RvR to a certain extent lol. It's different..
I didn't die as much unless I got too close to Khaine's bombs [shake fist @ that] with my DE Sorceress! It was a great feeling in the world to win soo much... then I tried Order's side..it was more challenging with a Bright Wizard trying to beat Chosens off me with some fire! Of course that's when I call you for help
I should get into PvP more and tolerate it.. I guess I'm basically intimidated with the PvP concept because I don't like losing. Makes me go nuts. lol
What no player housing? lol in all the games I played that had player housing I never spent much time there because I was out exploring.
You know you can play on a Open server where you can PvP just about everywhere.
if there isn't a single class you didn't want to play then Fantasy mmos must not be your thing.

just go into pvp with the frame of mind that you win some and you lose some, either way you are walking away with renown (war) or honor (wow).
also i wanted to add, 15 minutes is enough to maybe make it to rank 2 or 3. and by then you have more spells and options to do with your class, hell at rank 1 you can start RvRing in senerios and gain both exp and renown and just lvl up that way.
Even though I like WAR for what it is, I gotta agree with this. It doesnt feel like the Old World, not even alittle. Too bad
this is what i was afraid of
i will keep my 2 cents, err.. 50 dollars.. and wait to see what happens
.. still on the sidelines waiting for something to happen
Just when you think you have all the answers, I change the questions.
In this game, there is no Chuck Norris....
Only Paul Barnett....evryone who plays get the paul barnett jokes started and make sure chuck norris stays out of this game...
I cant believe you bought his altering disillusional pile of garbage for words. Hope he doesnt tell you to jump off a bridge later.
Its easy to pee in the toilet, but most of us dont.
I've made the decision recently to not buy WAR.
It has nothing to do with the game, but everything to do with other single player games coming out. When I get involved in an mmo I tend to miss a lot of REALLY great games when they're released. Fallout 3 being one of them.

You were afraid of what? Of a man, who spend less time in game than the time it took him to go to the store to get the game in the first place, to come and tell you that you should not buy the game?
The game has very limited NDA for a very long time now, almost everything you need to know about the game are out there in the Internet, see them for your self.
If I come and tell you that you should not spend your money on any game in the future, they are just waste of money, would you afraid and keep your money too?
Completely agree. EZ mode gameplay + horrible classes=couldn't force myself to play for more than 1 hour.
