WAR (Warhammer Online)

Relax people.  Why are you freaking out?  You have a week to test the game.  They are going to lift the NDA soon, and you will hear from thousands of people how good the game is.  Then you will have a week to try it.  You will have plenty of time to cancel pre orders.  They are operating on a whole different level than Funcom, and this will be nothing like AoC.  Just relax.  It's just open beta.  The characters don't carry over.

Well, I was waiting all weekend to get to Monday so I can begin downloading it, it's exciting. I guess my biggest dissapointment at the moment is merely that I must wait even longer to try this out. My lady and I havn't played a game together in months, she's going to college in a different location than me so I'm eagerly awaiting something we can do together. She loves the original Warhammer table top game. I really wish they didn't make the OB so far from when they release the client.. it was a let down. I still want to play though. I suppose eight days is plenty of time to check it out.

Theres still the Preview Weekend prior to OB and techniquely Mythic hasnt posted anything yet.Its always possible that they are monitoring forum responses to gauge player reaction to a possible OB date of Aug 7th.

I am waiting for the Mythic post,before I jump to conclusions.

Indeedy.

People like to pretend they've solved a magic formula of the universe by drawing a conclusion based on another, unrelated, recently-failed launch.

Had these people kept as in-touch with Mythic as they like to think they do, listening to and reading all the interviews, they would know that the possibility of a 1-Week Beta is not new and not unexpected. Mark Jacobs himself specifically didn't count the possibility out. I didn't expect Open Beta until at least September 1st.

If these people were so on-the-fence that this news makes them cancel their pre-order, then they shouldn't have pre-ordered to begin with.

No loss. No news here.

This is beginning to smell more and more like AoC.   That gives players just over a week to test the game.  Which means they will only be able to experience the very first part of the game (ie tortage).   It also means the NDA probably isn't getting lifted any time soon??

 

... I guess your .. history with MMOs is limited.  Very few if any AAA games at all give you more than 1 week of open beta.   All games give you Beta a week or so before launch.   The fact you have a problem with this shows your lack of knowledge of MMOs before AoC or atleast before WoW.  Kinda Sad but whatever we won't miss babies.

On the contrary, many MMO with open betas are way more than a week long.  This isn't a good move by Mythic. I'm curious as to why they would do that.

Trust those of us who cannot speak, I know AoC left a horrid taste in everyones mouth, but this is nothing like AoC.

When NDA lifts you can get more details but...

I did some of the early Beta stuff for AoC and from my first impression is had problems, problems that WAR is not  suffering from. Sure WAR does haev some issues but it is far far more polished and ready for release then AoC would be even if it were to release today(that is if AoC were to release to today, with all the patches and "fixes").

I am by no means a WAR fanboy, I never played the tabletop and I have but limited passing experience in the RTS games. I am just someone who enjoys MMOs and have since back in the late 90s when Everquest showed up(and I am sad I never experienced UO).

WAR is Awesome!

WAR is better than most of the MMOs...

AND ITS IN CLOSED BETA!!!!!

so if you cancelled your preorder YOU ARE RETARTED and you should preorder again.
