Come on in, the WAR is lovely

"Come on in, the WAR is lovely"

I beg to differ.
I recently resubbed to see what progress had been made.. ugh

- My character's hair still clips right through it's helm
- Timestamp in chat makes the last line of type disappear (rendering chat unuseable with timestamps)
- It's a ghost town with absolutely no way to actively persue any RvR, PQ or scenario activities
- Combat is still *the* most boring and sloppily implemented mechanic, with it being boring, slow & out of synch with the animations
- skill progression is equally as boring with only a couple of 'exciting' new skills being added every 3rd or 4th level gain
- the 'build up' mechanic is still a let dwon (ie: use particular skills to build up a 'special' - yet the special is a fizz and does less damage and has less visual pizazz than a L1 base spell)
- you still can't change the mouselook sensitivity, nor most of any in-depth video or system options
- and to top it all off, the players that *are* there are the worst sufferers of defensive fanboism i've ever come across. Even worse than the Lotro forum fanbois :-o

In my opinion, it's made zero progress since launch in terms of the fundamentals, and I'm pissed off at myself for wasting US$15 to see it for myself.

The game is fundamentally flawed without players and without working on the basics.
Paul Bennet is a nice guy but also effectively a hype-merchant (borderline liar). Listen to/watch his statements and explainations and then play the same thing ingame.. it's like he's talking about a different game than the one under your mousebutton.

WAR was fun at launch when there were 1000's of players to support the pvp and PQ's. But they all left for a reason - and that reason(s) haven't been addressed by anything Mythic has done since.
Adding new classes doesn't fix the basic flaws in it's design.

I want to luv it, but it's hard when you log in to check it out and it spits in your face with no progress since Q3 last year.
Oh and *crickets* when you ask anything in general..

Amana it all depends on what realm you choose tbh....join a realm that has a low/low population even during peak hours, and you'll find the game to be lifeless and dull....join a rather active realm and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

If you ever hit up Volkmar on the order side, message JohnForDeath. :) That's me

I will say this....the best thing to happen to WAR, imo, has been the slowdown of players. It's created a very tight community where rivalries seem to be very strong, and people really get into the competitive side of it all hehe.

Rather sad, that the only thing remotely interesting about this game at this point is seeing what these wanna-be rockstars can do to attempt to be humorous.

Massively sure are huckstering WAR hardcore with every minor tidbit and inane video. The game was clearly released 6-12 months too soon and Mythic are feeling the blowback every day in lost subs.
