I’ve cancelled by subscription to WAR for all of the above reason plus many more related to the White Lion class. Since day one, my fellow lions have noted a lion’s share of issues which haven’t been fully or at all addressed. We know that it’s early in the game to expect everything to be working perfectly but no news from the devs leaves us out in the cold.

Besides these issues, WAR has always felt like the bastard child of WoW with the less-than-impressive graphics & combat system…anyone else tired of keybaord pounding?

ok well I have come to the conclusion that I will no longer be reading from this website due to the fact that everone here is so NEGATIVE about every single game they try and it’s so one demensional in their veiws towards things. I am a huge MMO player. I have every single MMO out there that is Playale and each and every single one has aspects that they are stong in and what the game is based around. Stop beating the dead horse here and start enjoying the games for what they are.

I agree completely Mike. Back in DAOC, you had upgradable doors and guards, and it made taking a keep harder. In WAR my guild was able to roll keeps with only 8 people! Like I said in the article, I can’t get to a keep in time to defend it, even if I wanted to!

MJ is supposed to make some statements this week about the direction of the game. I will be watching very closely to see what his plan is. Again though, statements won’t keep me paying, I want to see tangible results in game before I fork over more money at this point.

RvR definitely needs to get revamped, there’s no point to defending a keep and it’s way way to easy to take one over. I’m sorry, but a keep shouldn’t fall in 5-10 mins. They need to make the keeps bigger, multi-rooms with way more defenders. A group of 6-7 people shouldn’t be able to take a keep down. The incentives also need to be readjusted. While I still plan on playing War, the honeymoon is definitely over.

I originally planned to play WAR until Darkfall came out. It sounds like a combination of my 2 favorite past MMO’s: UO and Shadowbane. But i may just cancel now and wait it out, hoping Darkfall does indeed come out at the end of the year.
…
Back on par with the great articles! Your ‘Loaded Dice’ comment helps things make a lot more sense. It really feels like the missing link into why i get such consistently odd contribution’s. Although i really doubt Mythic would be so foolish as to use this loaded dice theory, the mere fact that it feels true to so many people, is a BIG problem.
…
I dont understand why something as simple as total aggro gained is not your contribution (before modifiers like taunt/detaunt). There should of course be some other modifiers, but that should be the basis for it.
…
I could go on about things like fixing the damn morale abilities that say they are ready but aren’t. But this is already too long!

While Warhammer has a number of flaws, it’s the PvP that keeps me playing the game. People will eventually get bored with Lich King, just like they got bored with Burning crusade. Those that got a taste of RvR will come back and hopefully Warhammer will have evolved into a greater game.
