    I have to agree with the OP. The graphics are good, and the quests are pretty interesting.

    But the load times are terrible, the instancing is lame, and requires a really high end comptor to play.

     

    I'm still underdecided about buying it

     

     

    
    I am running a 3400+ AMD Sempron  w/  only 1.5 GB of memory. The only thing "special" and it is very outdated is my 7900 XXX video card. Running on low settings was giving me 28 FPS and the visual quality between low settings and high is not too much. The load times when entering an instance were next to nothing. I disagree that it takes a really high end computer because it doesn't.

• • Fileplanet beta ripoff :(

  • Was getting about 80-100 kbs and switched servers. Jumped to 150-200 kbs. Called my service provider and upgraded services for $8.00 more a month. Instantly jumped to 650 kbp. It is nice to get instant gratification every once and a while.

• • Is innovation becoming a thing of the past?

  • Good discussion.

    There hasn't been a loss of innovation but instead a narrowed focus on proven game designs. If I am forking over 20 million as the owner of a game company, I will research the industry and try to base my game off only the most successful. This being WoW, etc...$$$ Why would I ever want to create something innovative (as a businessman) and have the potential for huge loss when I could clone WoW?? I want to stay with what works and has proven to make huge $$$.

    But yes, game companies are run by businessmen and not gamers. This explains the lack of innovation IMHO.

    Who says WAR will be such a great game?

    I am really sorry, and I know I sound like a troll but..

     

    I looked at this game closely, and it is alot like WoW with some improvements.

     

    TCoS wont be aimed directly at WoW players. It will be casual and such, but it isnt aiming at WoW players like WAR is doing.

     

    WAR can keep its players

     

    No really this game doesnt need 10mil players to be succes full. No game does. Look at EVE with their 600k subscribers.

    
    Warhammer will be good, great.  However, TCoS looks interesting.

• • Still not impressed by this game...

  • Warhammer is going to be huge. Whether you like it or not, there is a good chance you will be playing it one of these days. Correct me if I am wrong but it is refreshing to see beta testers actaully placing pre-orders instead of bashing.
