I don't get it... They're basically taking warhammer online, removing the persistent world (quests, leveling, etc), and just giving the BGs for people to play and calling it a new game?
That's pretty much what I make of this. It's playing warhammer online BGs without having to level, and trying to make money on people via a store. Please explain one thing to me...
How is this better than the trial of warhammer online??? In the trial you can join a persistent world, level up and interact with people a bit, quest, partake in open-world pvp AND join different BGs...
Sorry to say it, but this just sounds like a money-grab.

it is
WoH is far more fun then WAR tbh (my opinion). Yes, it's a money grab, but it's a damn fun one ^^. Many different classes and each feel different. There is always action and everyone is on an equal field.
How this is different from WAR trial?
- Always action
- No "stand by the camp and hope they will come out"
- 3 sides (BIG plus)
- NO Quests (also a big plus, since the questing in WAR was plain boring, imo. PQ's were ok though, but very hard to get ppl to play them)
This is still a beta, and they have improved it with every patch so far. Who knows what gamemodes they will add?
Give it a fair try (when you can) and hopefully you'll have a great time!
Ps. The only thing I'm worried about is the cash shop, but hopefully it will turn out fairly balanced.

Different strokes for different folks, not really much a reason to complain about it....just be one of the ones that don't play it, and be happy about it.
They took WAR and removed everything that wasnt fun.
So all thats left are the scenarios.
Good call IMO. Wish they would send me a beta key already.
They need to fix a few things, marauder pull needs longer cooldown etc.. Anyway, teams would be good to . because pugging scenarios is /wrist
Also they need a CTF scenario...
To be fair, it IS an beta. They are taking feedback and collecting data. So send in your feedback to them and answer their survey and they may change it. I agree that the pull has a short cooldown, could use 5 more seconds at least.
You do know that you can team up with other people right now?
I've done it many times.
They need alot of more modes/maps, but again it's still a beta. They have plenty of time to make new maps/modes.

I dont think CTF is needed in this game, I feel pritty strongly about that just thinking about it but hey, maybee it would be fun after all.
Iv played about 30 hours of it so far this last weekend and it was so much fun. The pvp is real tight and working togather in a warband makes team work shine. I made a few warbands and we did extreamlly well, no other game has been able to give me that to any extent. I salute woh for a job well done and to make there game into the next best pvp game in mmo land.
ps: Also if you could please vote on the hype meter it would help alot.
won't bother... They fragged the original and and when they realised that they could not fix it they just dropped it and did this instead.
Thansk but no thanks. I would like some work on WAR tho if it is not to much of a hassle.
This have been a good conversation
If your into pvp at all like I am you would never in your life miss this game. I played warhammer online before I got my new laptop on my older alienware laptop, so I didnt get to really test it all the way but I did get to do a little pvp and some publice quests. I dont think that game had the chemistry to make it suceed as wow did. They started off with damn near as many servers as wow thinking that the entire population of NA would play it but it didnt go down like that.
oh it is a money grab for sure but the game is still fun.
ITs free to play with micro transaction.
No one has a clue what is going to be in the store, what purpose items will play or even what the final tally for heroes will be because its early beta.
Bottom line its fun and free. If your got something against those 2 things don't sign up for beta, hopefully someone else who can appreciate those 2 things will get in instead.
yea IV never used a micro store, will be interesting.
Why is all the PvP so small scale?

I haven't played it since near the start of the beta but apart from the sliding characters that video was unrecognisable.
I got that video from the main site

I would find more enjoyment in taking a dump then playing this. Thats just how bad this game is. But if people like playing it, oh well what do I care.
Because, Most of the MMORPG"s being released now are all themepark, or instanced crap... and gamers now are happy playing those instanced battleground trash. Hence my name... now if you want to talk about real pvp.. were talking about Shadowbane. Oh well to each there own I guess...
i honestly can't believe this game exists. who finds this fun? it's capture the flag (either occupy or steal), 6v6v6, arena, auto-target, no skillshot, run around in a huddle and win game.
totalbiscuit's review says it better than i could in a million years. "I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING BUT I'M WINNING":

mouse buttons do nothing besides target, 1-5 are your skills, 1 has very little cooldown so i guess that's supposed to be your basic attack, every character seems to have the same abilities: reduce healing, increase damage, jump attack, and an aura buff. hard disables, no dodge, absolutely no way to win if you have a bad team. either side can team up at any given time and turn it into 6v12 with no repercussions. you can target a teammate in the middle of a fight thus making damage dealers do absolutely nothing.
did i mention there's no skillshots? you lock on to someone and no matter where you face you still shoot them (that means arrows go behind you if they're behind you). jumping around or strafing or running away do NOTHING. 2 people versus 1 will always win, period. if you don't have a healer on your team you lose, period. imagine a team fight 6v6 of every type: healer, carry, tank, pusher, aoe, support. all you have to do is tab to the weaker people and mash buttons. there's no strategy needed, no skill needed, it's a race to push the buttons faster than the other guys. i'm really dumbfounded by this. i will never play this again, recommend it to friends, or recommend it to my enemies. unless they start over from scratch.
warhammer deserves better, not this insult.
true.
this game is ultraboring trash.
This game will be going into open beta now. Try it out, it's a good time. Great for casual gamers that just want to jump into PVP and leave after a couple of games. I just realized that I have been a member since 2009 and only made my first post now.
It's sad when you consider how many war players wanted 3 sided rvr, and instead they got p2w "expansion", wintergraspesque dummyfication of the rvr lakes, dressing up as a rat and now a bloody moba with THREE sides
Why are you on MMORPG.com?
Ogre Battle 2k 3d !!
give give give,oh crap.
Let's internet
Pretty boring after 2 hours. Also the only positive thing I found is that there is no direct healing, which is good. Bad copy of dota or whatever the idea behind it...
