Choze Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Ok so the open beta is up. any luck getting through/ in? I want rip some heads of at GOA. Doesnt matter I've canceled the pre order. Feels good. Well done EA Mythic and GOA.
Mundi Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Goddamn website keeping us down, been looking forward to this for a while.
Choze Posted September 8, 2008 Author Posted September 8, 2008 Well i got in, early in the morning. Despite pre order being cancelled. It still works... Played abit at 6pm. First impressions arent great. The game isnt much of a step up from WOW interms of graphics. Infact its worse in some ways. Start zones are so so. Similar to WOW. No twists like Age of Conan. Graphically Age of Conan was great but it had huge gameplay flaws. So far i have not found huge game breaking flaws like the action button system. But the game has many smaller flaws and is boring. I havent found a hook at all yet. The single capital city for each side feels dull and the economy and side stuffnot so great. Animation and graphics for example are just there. The fact its worse than WOW is not good. Gameplay is so so. Does the job similar to WOW but not very interesting. I like the PVP ideas but i am not finding it fun or great. Feels like another MMO so far, not seeing what it adds to the genre. Blizzard have nothing to worry about. I'll spend more time with it but these are my early impressions. Ofcourse the game has various beta issues but i am focusing on the parts that arent going to change in a week before launch The last beta i played before this (SOCOM) was extremely fun but extremely buggy. This game on the other hand is buggy and boring... could be worse it could be SOE handling it SOE are at least now going to be handled by SCE for future games. Which is why they are also PS3 now. The shenanigans that happen on PC MMO cant happen on console. To be fair WOW was awful in the beginning when it came to service but the game was great. Warhammer cant claim that so far.
gmac Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I was just going from my SWG and Vanguard experiences
Choze Posted September 11, 2008 Author Posted September 11, 2008 Well i have played more. The PVP part is important int he game. though i stilld ont entirely get it. Right now i think the PVE aspect just feels really boring. The PVP bit feels boring and odd too since there are different levels all over the place. So far not good. The locales are not interesting either. It feels like stuff is repeating. Music is dull. No invert for mouse... I'll spend more time but i hate some aspects of it. The game should have been delayed.
Strider Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Hmmm with how you're describing it i may just stick to WoW/WotLK. I was watching gameplay footage a while ago and it just didn't interest me very much, even though i wanted to like the game. Ohh well.
