Unless you like how AOC plays or Guild Wars. I guess I hate the way the combat in this game is,.. its very lame. I know some of you find this fun, but as I said,.. if you did not like AOC or Guild Wars, do not touch this game. A lot of you have come here from WOW and trust me, this game is not even close to WOW. I am not a WOW fan but WOW is better than this game... I haye to say that but its ture. I was playing DAOC and I was really wanting this game to be like DAOC, but what a HUGE let down. i have played: DAOC, AOC, SWG, EVE, POTBS, Guild Wars, Asheron's Call, and COH, and WOW and I would say by far, this is the worst combat game play I have seen in a game. The missions stink, the pick of toon's you can play stink, and just about everything stinks with this game.. The good??.. It looks pretty, nice job on the art work, but thats about it. I will not keep playing this after the 30 days and this was by far a waste of 50.00.
If you dont like that much why wait the 30 days quit now.
So what if WoW is better than this game, name me one game that is better than WoW?
I doubt MMOs are for you, if you have played so many and are still looking, go try an FPS = First Person Shooter, as the game play there may suit you.
It was never meant to be for everyone anyways, if it stinks so much just uninstall it period.
Please come back here when you find the game thats better than WAR so we too can play it!
I can bet most people don't care about your opinion OP....as any person with a brain will pick the game up and try it for themselves, and stop relying on everyone elses word.
actually that's kinda what forums are for.....people who don't care about others opinions on these games don't bother with threads like this....i however find these threads very telling...so thanks OP for the feedback

In isolation, individual opinions should be acted upon at your own risk/loss.
Only when there is an overwhelming number of negative posts can you tell that a game is diabolically bad.
And, it is always skewed negatively, as when a game is good, peeps either don't have time to come on the boards and post about it, or they are not overly motivated to do so.
Whereas someone who doesnt like the game has more time and is seriously motivated to tell the world how bad it is..........
Okay drama queen. Worst you played huh. Plays like most MMORPGs.
It plays just like any mmo that has auto attack and skills in the quick bar.
No it doesn't. It's very slow and unreponsive. Plus the animations aren't in sync with your actions.
You say that with a straight face with MMOs ilke EQ2 and SWG on the market, where the clang hits in 2 seconds after you pressed the button?
Stop comparing to World of Twitchcraft and their monster budget with monster serverpark...
So I have to put up with this crappy combat system because other games can't get it right either ?
Why can't we compare the two ? The one game that DOES get it right can't be discussed here ?
Because mashing 6 buttons in a frenzy and tearing people apart within 4 seconds is not what I would consider "doing it right"...
WoW arena felt like a shooter but without the equality of a shooter. It felt like a shooter where weeks and months of playtime could get you the "I win" gun.
I agree, combat was very responsive in WoW, which is entirely a lag issue in WAR atm. Skills that are not broken (granted, some are) work perfectly on time during server off-times. So yes, WAR has to work on some issues there but no, WoW is not the be all, end all of MMORPGs. It is not representing the genre as a whole, _especially_ not combatwise. In a game where combat is tailored more towards an X-Box 360 player than an Pen and Paper veteran (you know, dice rolls and hexagons) you flatout lie if you say the game is "doing it right". It might be doing it right for the armies of MMORPG-newbies that flooded this segment for 4 years now, but it is _not_ doing it right by objective standards.
When running smoothly, WAR is incorporating tactics and longevity in combat, taking away the ability to kill other players within seconds, stun them for ages or (ab)use gear and buffs to overpower one strategy; which is entirely not fun. I hope it stays this way and you will not be able to raise your char to be "teh superpower of teh battlefild lolthx".
And a final word, I myself have played a PvP rogue in WoW, and it was really, really a joke how combat effective you could be with high level raidgear. I literally did not die during some very, very long Alteracs, because you could just always get away and sneak up on the next poor dude. great job mythic in prohibiting stun and stealth in WAR, makes the game more fun for everyone.
To be completely honest, AoC and Guild Wars combat/controls are far different from WAR.. WAR is very close to WoW... They just slowed it down with the cooldowns.. I've never played a game for the PvE content. I can get that in a single player game. I play for PvP and this game is the best yet in that department..

i don't see the clunky animations nor unresponsive controls. Me thinks you either need a new computer or get your eyes checked
