You're not putting anyone in their place, you're just making yourself look like an ass. Your posting on a public message board, so it's everyone's business, and especially the people that were trying to read this thread for info on WAR before you started douching it up.

The AOC community was full of the "ZOMG WOW SUCKS !!!?!?!" people like you, and they ruined it. WAR looks like it's going to be better than AOC, so the least that you could do would be to keep your anti-WOW zealotry out of this game and not ruin the community before it even get's off the ground.

If you want to troll and act like a child, go to OT or P&N. You're going to end up getting this thread locked.

of course i'm putting them in their place.

their failures to even acknowledge wow copying warhammer says it all :)

actually, the Age of cancellations community self imploded because everyone was saying AOC SUCKS!!!!ONEONE!

try again.

the daoc/war community has always been fine , and always will be fine tyvm. it's the wow fangirl community you should be concerned about...sinking the genre into the toilet :)

why are you so angry? were your parents killed by blizzard employees?

I did both free previews and I'm doing the open beta now. Really enjoying the game. Love the PQs... which surprised me because I'm mostly playing for the RvR. I loved Pre-ToA DAoC... and I think Mythic really hit the nail on the head with WAR. Class balance is surprisingly good for beta. People whine about Bright Wizards, but I regularly stomp their faces into the ground with my Black Orc/Maurader/Chosen. The problem is no one knows how to run an effective group, and even if you do, if you're in a PUG, no one will listen to you. :p Have two chars in the Tier 2 areas, and so far love all the RvR stuff. PvP Lakes, Scenarios, Keep Battles, etc... it's great. Big step up from DAoC.

Man, that is the dumbest logic I've ever seen, dude you're the biggest tool in this thread.

I love PVE, EQ is one of my favorite games, but PVP is by far less repetitive, just cause you're used to PVP in games like WoW where you go into the same battleground over and over doesn't mean its repetitive.

Try a real PVP game liKe UO/AC/DAoC/SB, its not repetitive at all, and requires infinitely more skill than PVE and I can't believe you say this:

PVE is WAY WORSE

Why can PVP content not be patched in as easily as PvE?? Guess what, if a game is devoted to PVP it can be patched in.

Also, WoW PVP is arguably the worst since you can jump around like you've got ADD (which is probably why you don't like it). Try DAoC with autoface (pretty sure it has this still) and you can't really jump.

Has anyone else found that nobody talks in Warhammer? Is there a global chat or anything? It's eerily quiet wherever I go on my server. Is this common among other servers? (I'm currently Tier 1, level 8)

Yea, chat works just fine, but nobody seems to be using it. If I'm in a zone, I never see anyone ask a question, or chat for the heck of it. It's bizarre for an MMO for it to be so quiet, IMO.

I guess it depends where you are server wise, I had people asking the usual questions like "how long you been playing beta " ,"where you from" etc...even had group invites within 10 mins of logging on.

I only played for about 35 mins lastnight since it took GOA that long since Sunday to fix the open beta issues on the European side,anyway I played as a RunePriest, there were quite a few of us (more then I expected),I grouped with two more RPs and one Ironbreaker.

I'll probably make a Shadow Warrior and RunePriest alts come Sunday when the game goes live for CE owners.

The one thing I really appreciated about DAoC was the mature playerbase. What are the odds we'll have that in this one?

PVPers are basicially the 4channers of online gaming

So true. PvPer's seem to have this innate, undeserved sense of entitlement, and I love it when they cry and cry and cry about lack of content.

When I was playing GW I noticed it was the opposite, PVE'ers would moan that there wasn't enough for them to do end game. They would also complain about how they should have better gear than everyone else if they spend more time playing. Of course the devs ignored this because it made no sense for a pvp focused game. Why anyone would play GW for pve is beyond me, it was clearly stated by the devs time and time again it is a pvp based game.

But yeah keep thinking only pvp players complain in games if it makes you feel better, it's kind of expected for a pvp player to be annoyed with a pve centric game, and vice versa for a pvp centric game the pve'ers will be annoyed.

No one in DAoC ever complained about a lack of content for PvP. Why? Because the dynamic of battle was always changing, dependent upon what other players were doing at the time.

Actually that was the #1 issue when TOA was launched... The PvP was years old and had become stale.

And not 6 months later, they released New Frontiers, which introduced a hundred new PvP dynamics.

Making a game exactly like WoW is not a good way to make a successful game. You need to be DIFFERENT, BETTER, and introduce a novel concept such as GAMEPLAY!

Until then.

I still have more fun playing EQ1 than anything introduced since oh lets say. 2001.

lol you obviously haven't played the game.

Which game? Warhammer? You're right. I haven't. But I've heard its just like WoW in a warhammer universe from all the beta players. With a little of DAoC RVR thrown in.

Sounds like a borefest to me.


LOL. enjoy your large serving of crow. :D

Or maybe he should just enjoy pointing out the invalidity of yoru criticism of his post.
