Hopefully I saved somebody some money.
I just bought this game thinking that it will somehow keep me awake until Wrath comes out and boy was I wrong.
The game first of all if you don’t know is a PVP game and I am just fine with that but it lacks big time in trying to social with others in the game. Many might not admit it but you log on to this game to hang out with people and chat and basically make fun of others. War doesn't have that and it also doesn't really try to make you feel like you should talk to others. Unless you like being alone this won't really matter to you or if you and a couple of people are trying this game out then this won't be a factor.
Questing:
Easy as pie a bit too easy. They have something called public questing or whatever its called. Basically you pick up a quest go just open up your map and it will show you the area for you to do that in and you go there and if others are killing the same mob as you need for your quest, you basically get credit for it. That is pretty nice but you can have some people just making you do all the work.
Trainers:
So far I have gotten no quest to basically take me to a trainer like WoW does. Basically you have to look for this lady that trains all the classes and you learn something new at each lvl.
Exp:
Do quest you get exp, do BG's you get exp, kill someone you get exp, talk to a guard you get exp, fart on a chicken you get exp.
Graphics:
Not all that great looks like I am playing some sort of beta game and I have everything set to MAX but when I put the game in window mode 1680x1050 it looks a little better but full screen isn't all that great.
PVP:
From what I see at 1-20 you basically get one BG to go too which is pretty dam nice and 20-30 you get another one and so on. What I like is all the BGs have a timer for 15 mins no matter what or if the team gets 500 points.
Warhammer VS AoC:
AoC to me made alot of people very caution of buying another MMO game until that game is out for 4 months or so. AoC had a huge issue which was just so stupid of having only 200 people per zone so if you and your guild wanted to meet up somewhere you had to frist group up with its awful party interface and cross your fingers that you all can zone in as a team. And o yea Load screen after load screen.
Warhammer has no issue like and hands down is far better then AoC.
Warhammer VS WoW:
Alot of people keep saying don't compare the two because WoW has been out for a long time and War is just getting started. That statement has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. If you want me to keep paying for a new game and leave WoW you better be dam good because why the hell would I waste my money on Hope.
WoW has a far much better way of a social network and much easier to understand the game. That to me is why WoW is doing so good vs any other MMO games. So far every MMO game thinks the hardcore members are the ones that pay the bills when WoW knows its casuals that pay the bills.
Party Interface:
WoW>Warhammer>garbage>utter garbage>shouldn't even make a game>AoC
Will there be a game to beat WoW.
Yes either starcraft world, world of warcraft 2, dialbo world, something Blizzard world. Until another compay reliaze that the social network of the game is the most imporant thing then they will conitune to fail.
Also something I just can't understand about Warharmmer....
World of Warcraft has a fourms that anybody with an account can basically post there thoughts or talk to someone or even try to recurit others to there guild. Warhammer doesn't have this but instead rely on there members to sponsor a site for this. Why o Why can't you have your own forums.
