Is the Old Republic the official name?  Have they released anything?

To the rest of the post you should have enough knowledge now to guess where different classes will fall in a group setting and a make choice that fits you.  I love Witch Hunter because I like to take out healers.  I realize that I can sneak to the back, take out a shaman and then die.  It doesn't matter because usually after I drop a healer or two it is the change that shifts the fight and we defeat that group.  I like cap'ing flags, keeping people from running, and annoying casters. 

Every class has some role to play so imagine yourself playing it and see if it's right for you.  I really like the squishy classes in this game, and trying to avoid direct contact, but then I had a lot of fun as a tank staying up for so long too..  Ah the choice was hard.

Sneaky bastards.

lol thanks.  What server did you end up on anyway?

Makes sense.  Wait until some servers are participating heavily in end game and see how it plays out.  That will be the real key to whether Warhammer will be a good longterm game.

I was going to read the entire thread to see if there was anything intelligent in it but the most intelligent thing I found was ProfRed calling OP a toolbag and that was the end of the thread.

A bunch of fanbois who have nothing better to do with their lives than spam and swear at eachother pretending they know more than the other and their point is more valid just because they can spam more or swear at eachother.

 

Well done ladies, nice waste of space on MMORPG's server.

Sigh you are right and I am embarassed.  I will be taking a break from drama and try to only post constructively.  I don't know what it is about bodypass that makes me want to argue with him.  Oh well.

Now redBoy you just underline what i said in my post.

thank you for that/ Personal attacks won't hurt.

An industry with halfbaken products like AoC and WAR hurts ;.. yes.

Grow up, and Read your own post history.  Then come back here and tell us that you are not a troll.  Tell us that you actually want to discuss this game, and not just be a huge WoW fanboy who is on a mission to troll WAR and spread misinformation and lies about the game. You've lied to everyone here on numerous occasions it shouldn't be that hard.  I just want everyone to see you lie once again.

To the OP:  It's fine that you don't like the game WAR for whatever reasons you have.  Why in the world would you think it necessary to bleat out your opinion like a sick goat in a forum full of people who are playing and enjoying the game in spite of your dislike.  Many people don't agree on what they find fun, I don't see thousands of people who enjoy playing WAR leaving in 7 days because the travel between two points didn't take long enough. 

I suppose this wonderful fly anywhere and land anywhere to do anything in WoW you are talking about is available to a level 1 character?  Oh wait, is it reserved for those people who grind their way through 6 months of boredom to finally experience the glory of free to anywhere flight?  Before you say I know nothing of WoW, I was plaing WoW since beta, and I had fun playing WoW for 7 months after launch until I gradually found WoW becoming repetitive and boring to me.  A good game, but it lost my interest. 

The same experience may well happen to me in WAR.  Right now I am having fun playing WAR, and nothing you've pointed out in these forums means squat in terms of lessening my enjoyment of the game.  I like WAR for what it is, not for what someone else wished it could have been.  I don't care it isn't the best game ever made.  It's an essentially solid and fun to play game, and that's all that matters to me.  All your predictions, doomsaying, naysaying, bitching, moaning, comparing, and whining to the contrary don't change that fact.  I don't care if a game has average graphics, has a "been threre already" world, doesn't have the dream MMORPG checklist of features that meets the entire world's expectations.  I care if I enjoy playing it!  All that other crap is absolutely meaningless to me if I don't enjoy the gameplay. 

To everyone responding to the OP:  realistically the OP is likely just a troll who is playing a game in these forums where the goal is to raise controversy.  He's got nothing constructive to add to the conversation, but is looking to rile and annoy the general population here for his own amusement.  Feel free to debate him, but it is in essence a useless endeavor.  He is not looking to be convinced that WAR needs to be given a closer look, he is looking to argue for the fun of it.  The proof will be in the pudding when he refuses to engage me.  Unfortunately for him, I also like to argue for the fun of it, I don't get upset, and I don't get riled.  I'm very much the counter troll in that sense.  I'm just no fun to attempt to annoy. 

To the OP: any direct response?

I hope this helps.

 

Difference between you and me is obvious : I talk about a game, while you want to fight a person who just happens to publish his opinion on a game.

I don't care about trolls or other stuff. I care about MMORPG's and the sub standards they are into compared to some other publishers.

Like Redboy: he comes shouting every evening in here he HATES a game. Silly. I don't hate games, I do'nt hate people. iIam merely annoyed by the fact that people always fall into the trap of underdevelopped products.

Products we all pay for and which are just not good enough.

Not in MY view, but in rather objectively measured facts. Hundreds of facts. But as I could not cite them all, I created a picture: a picture of a world made to make money - cheap .

Everyone with eyes in his head can see the difference between a fully created 3D world you can freely move in and a piece put together with false backgrounds and "loading screens" of flight paths.

Not even intersted in fighting you. I am fighting for far better games. And yes Blizzard standards are much better (not perfect - but much much better).

Don't be ridiculous.  You know you are a troll just like all of us have known you are.  Your post history tells the truth.  Don't come in and be a troll, and then expect us to have reasonable conversations with you.  You are not fighting for your game you are blatantly trolling against this one which actually hurts the reputation of your game for the type of people that play it. 

If you want respect then earn it.  How do you get off even writing this on these forums?  Saying the difference between us over and over again is that you talk about the game when you are a rampant troll.

Well instead of basing things on your killer intuition and assumptions like you always do why don't you go create a character and count how many people are online in a full/full server and then come back here and release your findings since you are the only one that cares about server caps. 

Maybe though...  since you hate this game so much you could just go play WoW instead and leave our forums so that we can discuss the game and not have to wade through a bunch of crap.  What a novel concept. 

Yes, they did raise the caps.  Are you dumb?  I just posted about how you should stop making assumptions and trolling our forums with misinformation.  Then instead of going and finding the reference like I told you, you just make up more lies and assumptions.  How ridiculous can you be.

That's the difference between you and me. I never hate games.

I analyse them and look at them and see if they meet the industry standards.

And from missing full 3D worlds up to a lot of other missing quality apsects, I can say that WAR doesn't meet the 2008 standards of MMORPG's.

Call it a shooter or whatever, but even then it lacks polishment.

No link ....

 

Do you even read others posts?  You are making yourself out to look pretty idiotic and I barely have to do anything!  I love it.

Also just wondering do you think that Miley Cyrus is the 2008 standard of Music?  She sells the most, is the most popular, and appeals to all audiences.  Her music can run on old computers and anyone from entire families to 7 year olds can listen to it.  I guess every cd put out and every other band should be compared to her so that they can meet the industry standards. 

Haha that's what you remind me of.  A rabid Miley Cyrus fan at another bands concert yelling out lies and propaganda against the band while wearing and selling Miley Cyrus apparel.

If people would NOT be bored it should have long rocketed into the skies sale wise.

Well it hasn't, as I could prove that in another post on the previous pages by publishing player numbers.

Wow your economic skills are outstanding.  Not being boring doesn't sell more copies...  It retains the people that are currently playing.  Think about it.

What would fix the flyover thing is to let the player set one of three options:

 

1- Cut scene

2-Fly Over

3- Instant Teleport

 

Option one works like now.

Fly Over would let you observe the landscape the way precious WoW does as you fly through (and I had a couple CTDs back then when I used to do this in the early days of launch)

Instant Teleport would be the option 98% of us would probably select after we've seen both the other two a few times.

 

 

Apparently you don't even know that the HQ technique means:
 

You can fly ALL over the land (cities, forests, mountains, rivers) and land ANYWHERE you want and start your adventure.

This is the way it is done in 2007 TBC and will be done in WotLK and Aion also btw.

And Warhammer lore is FULL of flying mounts btw . !! So No excuse except cheap development here.

Once again, WAR is zoned to support large PvP battles.  WoW is not zoned and cannot support these battles.  The World PvP back after launch would crash servers.  So they guided players into BG's and Arena. 

We all would love a wide open World that also supported huge massive battles.  The technology isn't there yet.  It seems to me though that you should become a developer and make this happen since you think it is so easy.

I would love if Aion could pull off big battles and this free roaming, but I doubt it. 

You can't have hundreds on screen with badass graphics.  You either have instancing and good graphics with a max of 20 or so on screen, or you lower the graphics for larger battles.  If you want graphics then you have AoC.  If you want large battles then you have a game like WAR.

I would take gameplay over graphics anyday.

Well, point 1: Travel in this game what it needs to do, get you from point A to point B in an efficient manner. Travel is not used as a time sink here. To me, point to WAR for not wasting my time.

Point 2: Mob pathing WAS bugged, but now, from all I have seen, is working fine.

Point 3: CC, it is in there, above level 10.

Point 4: Scenarios does what they are ment to do, have objectives and multiple ways of getting to them. I have not seen any wasted space in them. Good job on WAR's part.

Point 5: one-liner comment - an attack without basis.

Point 6: Server Caps to balence the sides in RvR? Tell me it isn't so that they want to BALENCE things?

Please define your opinion of a High Quality and polished game. This game seems to work just fine for me and alot of other people.

Personal opinions and blatent attacks does not make facts about a game.

HQ ? How about a world you can travel over and land on ANY point of the map and start your adventure.

The opposite is having a nicely drawn map, where 60% is unplayable or can NOT be traveled over because they are "fake mountains."

Which project do YOU think represents the Quality game and is far more costly to develop?

It depends on what you consider quality.  I didn't know we were comparing WoW to WAR here.  I thought you were actually criticizing WAR.  I guess I misunderstood. 

As for the server caps: I didn't even mention balance: I refrerred to the too small populated servers killing the world events like RvR- scenario starts - PQ's. 500/550 raised? since when did Mythic say they raised the caps ? reference please. I missed out on that one. :)) So IF the servers now can have "many" more people, why are there complete zones rather empty?

Find the reference yourself you lazy git.  If you are going to come here and spread misinformation and slam on a game that you clearly have very little knowledge on then at least have the common sense to not ask us for references.  Do the research yourself and at least be a decent troll.

They have said and people on these forums have corrected you a hundred times.  They had a low server cap for the launch so there were less people in the starter areas and they gradually raised it. 

I used the example of the "loading screen" because it illustrates clearly why WAR is having this "cheap" chopy feeling every "non-lover" boy complaints about. Like I said, lacking in all aspects of the game.

WAR is zoned to handle large scale world PvP.  WoW is not zoned and cannot handle large scale World PvP which is why it created BG's and guided players away from Tarren Mill and World Raids because they caused their servers to go boom.

Seriously have you played any game besides WoW?  All of your posts you try to attacak WAR but all you ever do is compare random elements to a game that has been out for many years and almost has 2 expansions to one at launch.

Did you even play WoW at launch?

bodypass latches onto one small minor thing that barely affects gameplay and makes it out to be the downfall of a hundred nations.  He also latches onto false information and lies, and he repeats every single one of these things that pops into his head like a lightbulb went off and he must think it makes him look so clever.  He usually comes up with them flaming a constructive post about WAR while promoting WoW, and claiming that everyone and their mother will return to WoW within 10 days.  He offers out fake beards and sunglasses so everyone can return to WoW unashamed.  After he trolls a post with something like 'lame zoning by helicopter.', in which he doesn't seem to realize that it isn't only helicopters, and he thinks it is so clever he writes a new post about it, or puts it in his sig. 

Then he goes on the WoW forums and complains about people over here hating WoW and only contributes to troll/flame posts but ignores any constructive criticism of his precious game, unless it is to bash WAR when the post has nothing to do with it. 

He swore up and down that servers were locked at 500/500 when that was only for a few days at launch before expanding the servers.  He swore that everyone would be bored and return to WoW within 7 days at launch, but it's been 7 days. 

Most importantly what he fails to realize is that WAR actually promotes World PvP, and the best way to have large RvR areas is to have them zoned.  They still have large areas, but having them zoned can allow for more people fighting in an area with less server strain.  With WoW's system after a few months of Tarren Mill and World PvP straining servers they decided to push the focus into BG's and eventually Arena. 

The most important thing is what is an average play session like in a game?  So in WoW I can spend 8 minutes on a flying mount, grind some quests, spend 8 minutes returning, do some BG's, fight in an arena.  Maybe if I have 4 hours and a free schedule I can do a small PvE raid.  Now in that list does it even make sense to include the flying mount?  No it is only included because of how much time it wastes if it would ever be included.  Either people complain about the waste of time or they don't say anything about it. 

Now what bodypass finds so hard to understand is that WAR isn't a game where everyone is at end game with at least 1-2 characters.  We don't know what WAR end game is going to play out like.  Most likely it will involve a non stop tug of war RvR struggle to push towards the other sides capital and siege it.  Some scenarios here and there.  Once again traveling is not mentioned because it is unimportant in the big picture, but it is not mentioned as an annoyance either.  When I see my keep is being sieged I want to get there and into the action. 

However, I also like WoW's way and I think it is more fitting for a PvE game.  It doesn't annoy me personally to fly in WoW on pre-determined paths.  I also like WoW's graphics though which annoy a ton of people.  Anyway read up on bodypass's post history it is always entertaining.

 

ProfRed: the only thing you can do is insulting posters who don't like WAR.

Actually read my post history idiot.  I agree with tons of people who dislike WAR, and I dislike many elements of WAR.  What I can do well is sniff out a WoW fanboy who also trolls the WAR forums.

Lies and false info ? The only info you would want to hear is that WAR is the absolute best MMORPG game ever invented and it simply isn't for me and for millions of others.

Again read my post history.  I am very critical of WAR.  It is not even in my top 5 MMORPG list.  You however spread lies and false info.  You have done it since 9/16 when you first signed up.

Oh BTW of course I say that a LOT of people will be bored after playing WAR for 7 days. As a matter of fact eveyone following the industry already knows this and I will be very happy to prove it at the end of the year.

Everyone following the industry knows this?  Are you crazy?  Most of the people who dislike WAR right now are those that also dislike WoW for the same reasons. 

I have comments on the game. You always play the man. That is the BIG difference beteen us.

No you lie about the game, and you troll the game forums.  I defend games at launch from ignorance and misinformation that is spread by people like you.  Actually if you read my post history the only time I don't talk about games is when defending games from people like you. If you look at the crap that comes from your keyboard you will realize that you don't discuss games, you are a fanboy of one and a troll of another.  Why should anyone take your comments seriously?  You make it abundantly clear that you have no interest in actually discussing either game so why should I talk to you about the game.  You just write a troll post and then don't discuss anything further.

Oh BTW: How many times have you now written "I HATE Wow" 2 or 3 million times ? So don't come crawling in on that last paragraph, because the crowd knows your hate already.

How about you actually read my post toolbag.  I highlighted something in red for you. 

I have never written it once.  I have, if you once again check my post history, said many times that the first month of WoW was a blast, and I got my moneys worth.  Tell me do I go to the WoW forums and express my dislike for the game?  No I don't.  Do you come to the WAR forums and promote WoW while spreading lies, misinformation, and trolling constructive posts with random attacks on WAR?  Yes you do. 

It is clear that you have hated WAR since you signed up on 9/16.  It is clear that you are a WoW fanboy and troll combined in one pretty package, and now once again you spread lies and misinformation.

FFS is there no mods around that give a crap about MMORPG.com's forums being filled with this trolling crap? 80% of every forum is filled with useless trolling threads that say nothing but why every game on the market sucks. This place is a boil on the ass of the MMORPG community. Get the trolls under control please.

 

Checked your posting history, all you post is bashing people who disagree/bash WAR. That's 100% of your posts.

Are you a viral marketeer?

 

Check again. I bash people that bash games. Nice of you to check the first couple pages, but in case you didn't notice I've been a member since 2005. Long before WAR, and I've been saying the same thing on this site and getting banned repeatedly for it. This place fosters nothing but negative about MMOs in general. I'm a supporter of gaming. All gaming, whether it be computer, console, cards, boardgames or whatever. Pissing on games and your own hobby is just idiotic to me.

Every once in a while something useful is posted here, but it's few and far between.

You need to reconsider your definition of 100% as well.

I'm the same way.  It's tiring defending all this games against trolls. 

Aside from the blatant WoW trolls like bodypass, the people that don't like the game tend to be sandboxers and want more freedom.  I consider myself a sandboxer in a way because they are my favorite types of games, but I am still having fun with WAR.  Definitely getting my moneys worth, and I am excited to see how end game plays out and where they take the content addition of the game. 

However if anything like SWG pre NGE came along I would dump anything I was playing and I would dissapear from these forums for a year and gain 50 lbs and get a divorce.  Not really but it could happen...

What does it achieve?

It gets people to respond and have a heated debate which is the point of coming onto a forum. As you can see so far it has 14 pages of responses so clearly it has achieved its goal very well.

Don't even reply.

But you did.

Massacre some kids at your local college, it's more pr
