I have been playing for a few days and have to say the level of polish is absolutely magnificent. Very few bugs and no major instability, it really puts the other mmos to shame. No more am I going to tolerate a buggy mess on release, WAR has shown that it is not a necessity of the genre.
Looking forward to more content, hopefull they put in some scenarios where its every race for themselves. I don't like having my dwarves fighting alongside elves, I want some independence which is more in keeping with the Warhammer universe. |

Having played the table top version several years ago (Chaos primarily and Dwarves at times), I agree that interalliance grude matches are appropriate - and should almost be more common. Now for MMO purposes I understand that usually the 3 "Order" races will generally fight the three "Destruction" races.
But with these 6, the only semi-natural wide spread alliance lore wise is Empire-Dwarf. Chaos doesn't like anyone and is just as often fights Dark Elves as they do Dwarves. And the Dwarves as stated don't really get along to well with High Elves. Maybe it would just be a senario in a little dungeon where they were competing for a prize; better though if it were a full zone that featured the all for themselves mentality. |

awsome game so far, fantastic level of polish for something so vast.
played open beta onwards and other than a couple of days of downtime from goa's website acc authorisation its been really good (something i never thought i would say about goa). well worth a buy imo. EDIT: lol @ damage limitation from jacobs over pauls comments about EA...heh...sleep paul, then think about what your saying :) hats off to mythic.

It's getting rather tedious, the constant comparisons to WoW. It seems to be a real thing for them and i think its starting to make them look a little bit silly. Let the game stand on it's own!
I won't be surprised if we see some maxed out players in the first week. Last night i saw a guy half way there already. |

I dissagree with the 'only die hard Warhamer fans will roll destruction and new players will roll order' - I think it's pritty a 50/50 chance what the 'die hards' will play plus a LOT of newer players will opt for destrutions as 'they look cooler'..
Mark has just basically said: 'If you roll order your a noob'... kinda not the best think to say these days when your looking a very leetest bunch of players these days and your looking for a somewhat balanced game |

"..the distribution of the boxes - EA is really good at !"
Yea maybe. Too bad they suck c*ck at direct download. Not only was I unable to dl the client from EA Download Manager, but I sent an e-mail to EA Norway the day after cuz I hadnt got my Headstart key. The reply was something like "i dont think we have any headstart keys left lol" Oh well, today is launch day! Too bad war-europe.com is writing about me then: "We are experiencing an issue where some players are reporting that they are unable to log into the game after successfully validating their licence codes. Cya in-game ^^ |
