With (kinda) the words of Blizzard officials: "Did YOU (OP) finish the three existing 25 man instances and found them too easy for yourself and your group or are you just judging that it is "easymode" because some guild in the world has managed to c…

the thing about this thead is that it could be called "Give me back my childhood" and it would serve more or less the same purpose.

The problem with CC is that it becomes a nobrainer and an annoyance once there is a battle between more than 10 vs 10. At the normal scale a WoW fight happens, the CC is strategically interesting and still can be countered. It is thrilling and chall…
I totally agree with the OP. Those are all great features of Warhammer and I really hope other MMOs like WoW and Aion will copy them. War hasn't copied enough and not good enough from other games so it feels a bit shallow and more like Battlefield W…
As the above poster already stated, the problem is not that BW are more powerful than Sorcs (discuss that elsewhere and lets assume for the moment that both are equal), the problem is that Ranged DPS is vastly more powerful than melee DPS. In Scenar…

Funny seeing people tell the OP that this game isn't for him. Notice him saying that he's played DAoC for 7 years? This game was supposed to be for him. This game was supposed to be the next step for DAoC players. …

Actually, this is one game where I think guilds are a minor point. I've been able to quest solo, PQ in a pug (if absolutely necessary), and join scenarios solo, and just play with the group I'm in. As some have poin…
If you want people that work as a group then why do you join solo? I know that it's easier and more convenient to play the game alone and join the occasional group, but thats not how the game is designed. You don't join a soccer team casually and le…

My list is just:
1) Have a big helpful and mature guild.
Without a guild you can almost forget things such as:
Keep taking, PQ's, PvP or anything really.
THAT is the point in War

I left Warhammer to join World of Warcraft again but I do not agree with the OP's conclusions. First of all even if it sounds honest, I seriously doubt that mr. Kaplan would be able to be objective on the matter if his baby is better or worse than i…
hmhm obviously the OP never played a PVE game. Lets take the standard example World of Warcraft. While many quests are plain stupid "kill 10 boars", I daresay many other are funny. Whats more, the quests often have meaningful rewards and might even …
Well the point is that it is true that the OP wants to play War like a better WoW. I myself wanted that but didnt even know it. I realized that while I had fun with the pvp aspects of WoW, I just can't live of pvp alone so War is not for me.
The …
I must agree that the game lacks in one big and important thing: It doesn't make you care. You dont care about your people, your faction or the world. It feels like a competitive sports game. You fight out fair matches (even in open RvR it is mostly…
My dear OP what you describe are clearly all WoW strengthes. It was clear from the beginning that in War there is nearly no farming (of items, reputation or craft ingredients), no supersmart and hard PVE instances, no economy (because there is no im…
Err you people did realize that the OP mentioned "casual"?
Of all mentioned games EQ2 ist the least casual game and in WoW you won't have fun as a casual once you hit 70 (and don't want to spend your time fishing, which is probably the only activi…
Lotro definitely!
Anything but WoW!
Even though WoW looks casual friendly and does that even more so after the add-on added all those new options (new instances, pvp and reputation) the problem you run into with WoW is that you actually MUST use…
World of Warcraft or Starwars Galaxies.
I would suggest WoW because it's better polished and has an easy access to the game and it's content, but Galaxies has been shifted to be less complex and more storydriven too, I hear.
In WoW you can go Sing…
As of Patch 1.10 the Instances Scholomance, Stratholme and Blackrockdepths will be 5 Man Instances, as well as Upper and Lower Blackrockspire will be 10 Man Instances. All these with allegedly better drops and slightly less Encounters.

This was irony and meant the exact opposite:
