The game's okay, mediocre at best. No thought required carebear pvp sums it up. Fun if you dont like a deep complex game and just wanna log on and battle

Thanks for playing the game because you're the reason my Renown and XP is so high each time I play in a scenario People who think it requires no thought are awesome fuel for my ever growing character who is running circles around you, smashing your face with positionals, and body blocking you so that you can't run away because you're not using 'thought'.
no the game wont fun in full FPS with that shitty video card, yes there is bump maping, yes there is. . . . . everything about your post is wrong actually. Spend some $$ and get a real computer.
Let's see, you have two level 80's in AoC, which is one of the most incomplete, overhyped, unpolished, and buggy MMOs ever released, and you recently complained about how slow the leveling is in both Vanguard and Warhammer, so you obviously want a game you can zip right through at warp speed.
Art is subjective, but its obvious you are drawn to the realistic style of AoC and Vanguard. That's fine, but the Warhammer world is still very colorful and creative, whether it fits your personal taste or not.
I might also add that you are wrong about the power of Warrior Priests... I've taken them down solo as a Marauder.
Finally, I have little reason to believe you've spent much time in the game, and that you know very little about the Warhammer world and lore.
*deep breath*
So, this pretty much leaves you with little credibility when it comes to your opinion.
This game has a User Rating of 8.92, the true rating without the fanbois that even love the bugs is >> at best 7.2 the game is slow, boring, the classes are boring theres nothing new. This gam should have been sold in 2003-2004 but not at 2008. The grafic sucks, new grafic cards are useless because this game even runs on a ATI1950XT in full FPS. The animations are dull and all classes look like robots. Again many of us got hyped by the marketing of Mythic. But looking at DAOC, honestly i didnt expect anything that great. Well i bought it and i want to sell it ASAP. i hope i find someone stupid enough to take it. People that compare this game with Vanguard, WoW or even AoC cant be normal. They must be blinded and mindwashed by all the commercials. This game runs on a Pentium 4 3Ghz, 2GB and a shitty VGA Card with max quality. No Bump Mapping, No high resolution Textures, just plain old 2003 WoW Grafic with other design. Thats it. Many people will follow my opinion soon after a few weeks more people will wake up and see what crap they bought and even played. BTW > Warrior Priests are the Paladins of Warhammer, even 7 Orcs cant kill one of them. Nice Balanceing Mythic (no native english,thnx)
OMG WARHAMMER !!! RUN !!!
Just find you a good euro mmorpg oh wait there isn't any And don't say AO or Eve both are junk
I am strict in picking the right MMO for me. I have tried just about everything, and WAR is one game that I feel that I will play for a while. It's PvE/PQs are spectacular, it's like a mini-dungeon. The quests are not bad either. So far, I have mostely played PvE, haven't dug into the PvP yet. As soon as I hit 20 though, im diggin into the PvP. So far, I love what I am seeing.
OP, the only valid explination for your rants you have given so far is the fact the graphics are not on the COD4 side. How about you try to make an MMO with COD4 graphics? AoC? Remember?
Don't judge a book by it's cover, because if you do, you may miss a good read!
Ok after reading this post i would like to say one thing wow players have this problem with people coming into there forums and posting rant about a top notch game. Lets be honest this game isnt perfect but it is a lot of fun if you give it a chance. Also not a full week since the game was released. World of warcraft had its problems when it launched as well every game will i played wow for 3 years and this is the only game i have found remotely fun at all in those 3 years.
Dont make rants about warhammer until you actually see it fail because as of right now its not. Go play something else the op just wants attention because he never gave any real arguments lol. So go have fun doing something you love and leave war alone
For me and most people, gameplay is everything. And NO OTHER GAME can beat War's gameplay. It's so much fun!

Don't expect them to realize that the game they're playing is shit until about a month from now. Then all of them will quit and when Aion comes out all of them will be like "OMFG!! AION!!! RATE HIGHER RATE HIGHER!!!". Rinse, repeat, and welcome to the online world.
Right off the bat... anyone who complains about the graphics in WAR is clueless as to what this game is all about. IMO, it invalidates anything else they have to say about it. Hey OP... seems like AoC is the game for you. Awesome graphics, with worthless shit gameplay and PvP.
Thread winner, didn't need to read anymore after that!! lol, very true.
who cares, this game isnt better than AoC, it just has more fanbois at the moment. The flamewar for this game comes soon, do you think i am the only one that found out what bullcrap Mythic sold to us ? More people will follow and this forum will burn like the AoC, AC2 or Horizons forum.
Its not just the terrible grafic its also the slow fighting speed, the long casting time for spells and the stupid design of the RvR instances. Its also the 12 year olds that came from WoW to play something new and piss off everyone. This game is good for 12 year olds as it is mentioned on the Box. I have a QuadCore 3.2Ghz, 4GB, 1.2 TB HDD, 9800GTX2 and this game is running on 1 core + some VGA memory at best. Its a joke form Mythic , nothing else. And yes, i bought it, its my own fault.
were you hired by funcom to say that stuff
have you even played AoC past level like 10??
that game is horrid
stupid design for RvR??
hmmm lets see alot of MMOs has a PvP system like that
The flamewar for this game comes soon, do you think i am the only one that found out what bullcrap Mythic sold to us ? More people will follow and this forum will burn like the AoC, AC2 or Horizons forum.
"The flamewar for this game comes soon..."
Who are you, Nostrodamus?
What you're basically saying is WAR is going to get its share of the same crowd virtually every other MMO's forums out there gets: a group of people who can't be at peace knowing that others enjoy a game they don't like. It drives them nuts that not everyone thinks the same way they do, so they go on a rampage, brow-beating everyone with their "factual opinions" (quite the paradox) on just how bad it is... because they say so.
I really don't understand the behavior. Must be for some sense of self-edification or validation something.
"If you just step away for a sec you will clearly see all the pot holes in the road, and the cash shop selling asphalt..." - Mimzel on F2P/Cash Shops
Graphics graphics and more graphics, that's all I'm hearing. If you want to play a game with good graphics go play Vanguard, see how far you will go with that.
Actually, I'm doing just that, and I'm having a blast with it, thanks! VG kicks ass, looks great, and has tons of content to keep me busy for a LONG time.
I do agree with the OP on most of what he said. The game is boring IMO and the graphics do suck for the most part. It would have been nice if they would have released high res textures and options for those of us with machines that could handle it. Here's hoping they eventually do just that.
I think I kinda understand this kind of behaviour. When you pay 60$ for the game, you god damn hope it wasn't a waste of money. If you don't like it, of course you'll be pissed.

OMG WARHAMMER !!! RUN !!!
Everything you said is true.
I look at my other options.... and realize i dont really have any. Thus I can enjoy the WAR pvp because i have friends who play with me. With out them, a guild, I also could not imagine many playing this game for any length of time.
Its fun when you know who you play with, but really it isnt anything new. Its simple, its pvp, the same kind of stuff you can get with counter strike matches, only its some what of an mmorpg. I dont expect much, so i have no huge expectations to ruin the game for me.
In this day and age, mmorpgs have become dumbed down instant gratification pieces of childish crud. You have to adapt lest you get stuck in the complex gaming of the past.
I'm pretty sure that every single game that ever exsisted would be rated poorly if not for the fans (fanbois) of that game. I like the game and don't give a rat's ass about your opinion. This is nothing but a troll post, but apparently the mods don't actually do anything around here to actually moderate trolls, so rock on.
EDIT: Why exactly do you trolls choose to live and fill this forum with these useless flame threads if you hate the game as much as you say. Get a damn life and move on.
MMOs Played: EQ 1&2, DAoC, SWG, Planetside, WoW, GW, CoX, DDO, EVE, Vanguard, TR Playing: WAR Awaiting 40k Online and wishing for Battletech Online
Graphics graphics and more graphics, that's all I'm hearing. If you want to play a game with good graphics go play Vanguard, see how far you will go with that.
My Vanguard Account is active and i am playing it. I gave this Warhammer crap to my girlfriend now, she wants to give it a try. I have some 30ish characters in Vanguard. no way someone could compare the warm atmosphere of VG with the candy land grafic from Warhammer.
Also the Fighting system in VG is years ahead of this warhammer crap.
I gotta agree that vg is way deeper then Warhammer and far more satisfying. However warhammer does have it's appeal it is a good casual fun game. I find it is more fun to drop into warhammer for ah hour or so and do a scenario or two and a few quests. It does get dangerously close to the mindless wow questing though if taking in long spurts. VG on the other hand is far more satisfying with a good group and a nice epic quest. I just finished the CIS quest tonight on my 31 bard and it was great. CIS is like an 18-19 step group oriented epic quest.
Anyway the graphics are not what makes or breaks a game for me. It is about the fun playing it that is most important. WH is a pretty solid fun game. I'm not sure how I'll feel at lvl 40 but so far I'm having fun with it. I'll say that it appeals to me far more then AoC did. But war is like fast food where VG is like a steak dinner. I want both at different times

LOL! So you're saying that fans make up the game? In that case, Halo would be the best game in the world while little wonders, such as Castle Crashers (just an example), would suck.
Don't you think that the GAME ITSELF should make up the rating?
... Everyone loving the game isn't posting on these blasted forums right now.......
This exact sentence was used with AoC in one many of the various forums. Look where that went...*flushing sound fx*
Im not a Warhammer hater. I own it and am currently playing. I think Mythic did well w/ this game, but I just had to quote this because its like deja vu...Hopefully it wont end the same way.

There just forum PvPers looking for another AoC.
Not everyone liked DAOC either.
But I dont know I hope the game does good.
Gah, not a true Paladin, just a WoWadin.
Tried: WoW
Played: EQ, EQII, AO, SWG, NGE-SWG, LoTRO, WAR, Vanguard, Eve, WWIIOL, Guild Wars, Darkfall, AoC.
Playing: DAoC.
Waiting For: SW:TOR.

Well OP looks like most people disagree with you, and quite rightly in my view. This game is a breath of fresh air in a pool of blandness!
It's MMORPG.com, people here are retarded.
Don't expect them to realize that the game they're playing is shit until about a month from now. Then all of them will quit and when Aion comes out all of them will be like "OMFG!! AION!!! RATE HIGHER RATE HIGHER!!!". Rinse, repeat, and welcome to the online world.
Guys.. he is TROLLING.
He doesn't even like Vanguard.
Read his post here about it : http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/198578
As you can see he has terible things to say about how buggy and BORING it is.
And then comes on here and is like "I am playing vanguard.. a REAL GAME"
LOL
T R O L L
WAR is crap, but remember--new, hyped games always get a burst of high ratings at launch. Fanboy effect.
What was AoC at for a few weeks after launch? Somehwere 8+. We look back and laugh.
WAR will drop below 7.5 and the top 5 list within 2 months, at most.
Thread winner, didn't need to read anymore after that!! lol, very true.
were you hired by funcom to say that stuff

hmmm lets see alot of MMOs has a PvP system like that
also the cast times are fast its not slow combat
and there are 12yr olds in every MMO
having hate threads about the game in the game forum is over rated
