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.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
