Doesn't it bother any of you that you'll be paying for a game at release from which many key components have been pulled, just to hit that release date? They pulled a bunch of content, major cities/start zones even whole classes... I'll wait to give them my money plus a monthly subscription until the game is up to the condition that it was originally intended to be released in.

Didn't mean that as World of Warcraft being crap, just meant Warhammer being crap compared to WoW :p

Depends what you're looking for. If you're looking for large PvP battles and city raids. Then yeah you'll love it. I don't understand the WoW comparisons because while they are MMOs. They have two completely diffrent ideas on how to go about things. You won't be seeing any 25 man or 40 man raids running through some dungeon for loot in WAR.

Nope.

They pulled classes back to the drawing board that they deemed boring (I can't go in to details but... *nod*). They didn't want classes to be three button routines (much like a lock in WoW). No starting zones were pulled.

You are correct in saying that two capitols were put on hold. It's much diffrent to WoW though. These cities grow, open new zones when you progress, they have to be balanced for the RvR & PvE challenge when people manage to take all the tiers. You make it sound like it's something easy to fix! Unless you've seen them first hand you'll have no idea what you are talking about. They still have a good couple of months to get them in working order, as it's going to be a while till someone manages to take over a city!

I can understand that people might be worried about content after the AoC saga. But I assure you. Keeps are in, citys are in and we've tested them. ;)

You do of course realize Blizzard has done the same exact thing...Zul'Aman, for example? I could list more, but quite frankly, I don't feel like cludging through a bunch of WoW-related crap right now.

I can't wait for Warhammer. I've loved the lore for years...hope it lives up to everything I hope it will.

No it doesn't bother me, WoW has been around for almost 5 years now, and still has bugs.

Also when WoW got released I remember there were no raid zones whatsoever in it because they didn't make the deadline for them and numerous zones just had basic questing. Not to mention they keep doing it, Black Temple for example in WoW wasn't even implemented when BC got released, it was deployed later during the expansion.

Definitely looking forward to Warhammer, I'll try it out and see how it goes. I hope it delivers, we need a competitor for WoW, too much newbies and clueless persons entering WoW not to mention they're making the game too easy.

I currently play the Closed beta for Europe. I have a feeling its missing some factors :(

I cant talk into detail atm about it, due to a agreement you have to stick with. :p

Also, there are still alot of bugs. And a whole lot of graphic glitches.

Yes you can and I've not seen many glitches on my Sorc, then again I've not played a marauder which apparently is the worst offender.

So far though. It's in MUCH better condition than AoC, there is enough content from 1-40 and RvR is fantastic fun. But we still need the CtD fixing and the balancing sorted (we've seen the due changes but just waiting for them to be implemented).

WoW killer? No. That's not what it's aiming for it's a niche game. Though it will blow the kneecaps of AoC with a shotgun though.

You should reserch something before you talk about it. 4 captial cities were removed, they replaced each with a huge fortress and the cities that werent moved also had a fortress placed at the end of their t4 zone. I don't think that those classes or cities were even beta tested either. MAybe a select group but the elder testers Ive talked too never saw them. There is still 20 classes(thats 11 more then wow 10after LK) They did not remove a single zone, they all made it in it was just the 4 cities.

I wouldn't call it niche. A niche game to me is something with under 200,00-300,000 subs. WAR will get 1mil+ within a year and imo even more.

Also here is the new trailer which I think is the greastest of all time.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
