Warhammer Online - Will you play?

Braen · 08-25-2008, 09:54 AM

Now that Warhammer Online's Preview Weekend is over, did it show you enough to play it? Did it give you a reason not to pick it up?

The poll is this. Will you play at release? Will you not? Will you wait a few months till some critical issues are resolved? Are you too involved in another MMO to play? Waiting to see what Wrath of the Lich King is like before trying WAR?

I've seen worse and this is a MMO forum, so I think it's ok.

I will be playing (plus I already pre-ordered). I don't know how long it will take for the newness to wear off but I really liked what I saw. If they can fix the sync issues and the omfg horrible mob pathing I can overlook the other minor stuff.

I had severe doubts about this game pretty much from its announcement until the NDA drop. The info that came out after the NDA dropped caught my interest, and the preview weekend sealed the deal. It's not perfect, but my impression is that WAR is a hell of a lot more fun than any other MMO currently on the market.

It's not perfectly polished, but I think the core mechanics are fun and that's what really counts. I'll play.

Zalere · 08-25-2008, 10:08 AM

I will. I am really digging the RvR.

Lost Ranger · 08-25-2008, 10:11 AM

Yep, I will be playing it. Fantastic game.

But...but what about TR, VG, SWG, EQ2, AC2 and AoC?

Lord, what a lame state the MMO industry is currently in. WAR looks like it could help get things headed in the right direction though so I'll be playing at release.

I've got friends who are playing, so I may give it a try.

I will play, but if combat fluidity doesn't match WoW's within a few months I will abruptly jump ship. The state of the combat system 3 weeks from release has me weary.

Basically same. They have... let's say... 14 days from release to fix the problems with the combat system.

14 days.

I think the game has a solid base. It is DAoC with the user friendliness of WoW, which is a great and flawed thing. It's pve is bugged to shit, and there are going to be tons of issues in pvp, but ultimately I find it engaging and fun. The atmosphere is nailed, and the lay out for RVR is the best of any mmo out there. So, yea, I'll be giving it a genuine shot.

This. I enjoy the game and the RvR is a blast and its what i wish wow had done instead of going with arena pvp, but they need to get combat to the point where it is smooth. Right now it feels like the server vs client side checks for ability cooldowns just arent what they should be.

Similar, but I won't buy. I'll wait for a few months or free trials and see if it's any better then.
