I hope it's not "good side" vs "evil side".

I want to be able to kill Chaos as an Orc, or Elves as a Human.

If done true to the Warhammer World, the game should be just a big PVP free-for-all.

9/7/2007 5:11:07 PM

if done true warhammer style, you should have a digital tape measure to determine where you can move in the world

9/7/2007 6:19:44 PM

as long as it's got a completely customizable UI (a la WoW), I'm game.

9/7/2007 6:52:27 PM

^ sure it's faggoty enough for you?

9/7/2007 6:55:50 PM

^^^ Turn based MMORPG FTW.

9/7/2007 8:45:28 PM

BTTT

any news on this? is it going to suck? etc?

10/29/2007 11:08:27 AM

don't hold much hope for it

10/29/2007 7:28:03 PM

Did development stop? I haven't gotten a newsletter in months.

10/29/2007 9:25:28 PM

It hasn't stopped, though they have put their current beta on hold (as of 10/10 I believe) until December. They were supposedly putting in a lot of changes that the first round of beta generated. All the video, etc I've seen looks like this will be a very solid game if you like PVP. If you're a PVE person, it's doubtful this will be for you, as the end game is really centered around RvR (their [and DAoC's] version of PVP).

The FAQ on their site, originally said Q1 2008, but has recently been changed to just a general 2008. Hopefully this isn't some bad omen of it getting pushed back to much later in the year. I'm really ready for a change (from WoW) and this looks to be the next big thing.

They've got a solid background in MMO making (Mythic developed Dark Age of Camelot) and have WoW to use as a guideline for what's good/bad about popular MMOs. They have/plan to have a customizable UI, that is LUA based, just like WoW.

I'm ready for it to get here, hopefully I'll get picked when they open the beta up again.

ill check it out. i honestly didnt like the videos. but all i care about is PVP so it could be fun. ill have to try it to find out.

several pvpers i know from WoW have been playing a game called "Fury" and really like it. It is all pvp as well. (xp etc is all from pvp)

10/30/2007 1:38:47 PM

Yea, I looked into Fury, but I don't like their pricing system. You can play a basic account for free, but to have the good stuff you have pay. They sell their own gold, etc. etc... There were a few other game play things that bothered me as well, but I don't actually recall what they were.

There are a few things about WAR that have me questioning it.

1) Release date... I would hate for it to get released at/around the same time as the WoW expansion, Age of Conan, etc. and not actually get any substantial player base. Q1 2008 seemed like a good time to get into the marketplace, so I'm a little worried there.

2) Server population balance... Without proper balance, a RvR endgame could get pretty frustrating. The fact that most of the campaign progression will occur thru scenarios does help this however.

3) Slow pace. The video I've seen seems like the movement and game play in general are fairly slow. I have a feeling though, that after playing it for a few weeks, it'll feel like the right pacing. Compared to some WoW videos though, it does seem like you're plodding along a little.

hmmm everyone i know that plays fury doesnt even pay the monthly fee. they said the stuff you pay for isnt even worth it.

10/30/2007 5:22:38 PM

bttt

the classes look interesting though.
marauder ftw, i hope.

3/17/2008 11:37:45 AM

i'm not interested in this game since my wow guild became a t6 guild.


didn't think our guild would make it in time to see end game while it was still actually end game not lvl 70 AQ40/BWL stuff.

BORING

OLD

aha, you people and your 'sides'

3/17/2008 11:10:02 PM

anyone in the beta test for this? i wanna play

3/25/2008 12:26:06 PM

Quote :

"RvR includes both Player vs. Player (PvP) combat and Player vs. Environment (PvE) quests so that you can assist your realm in their victory."

so not only do they have to balance the classes, they have to balance the 2 "sides", AND they have to balance the realms to make RvR do-able? AND to top it off RvR is PvP and PvE.

They need to make an MMO whose motto is 'not all things are equal' and not worry about kids bitching that they can't take on every class in peak conditions

3/25/2008 2:49:14 PM

except it would get ridiculously boring because everyone would just be the same class.

And if one faction had better classes, not only would they be individually stronger, they would also be greatly numerically stronger, because nobody wants to play on the gimped faction.

3/25/2008 3:51:56 PM

^^^ they balanced 3 sides pretty effectively in DAoC, 2 should be cake

3/25/2008 4:15:43 PM

regardless, i think alot of people are looking for someone to take some of the market from WoW, so, I hope this does well.
