I have the WAR beta....its totally WoW with acheivements...so its like WotLK early...
Even the UI looks almost the same, with a built in quest helper.
The differences that I love about WAR are: (Not necessarily in any order)
1. Next to no downtime (Once out of combat you can go from 10% life/energy to full in less then 10 secs it seems. Think of how it was when you were a lowbie.)
2. Healers must do damage to heal, ok technically you can gimp youself and your team by not doing any damage and trying to only heal but most healer class mechanics I have seen make it far more beneficial to do both.
3. Greater variety of classes, true only 4 archetypes but they managed to separate them out in such away that each feels somewhat distinct.
4. No DOWNTIME. Sorry I hate that out of combat crap in WoW is basically done for the sole purpose of chewing up time that could be better spent killing things. Hell what purpose does the longest spell cast in the game Rez server by having a high mana cost and a high cast time?
5. In combat Group REZ! Ok maybe not everyone has it and no one on beta has it anymore since the levels all just got reset but it was cool.
6. The Lore follows pretty close to the real lore for the game. While I don't mind WoWs lore it is made up as they go for the most part. WAR has been around since the 70s and the depth of lore shows.
8. PVP is pretty cool except for the stupid healers are all like droods take too many people to kill one less they are lower level it seems. I anticipate a small nerf.
9. PVP lvln system. If you join a Scenario (think BG) you will be automatically have your stats, health and abilities dam/heal lvld to be either 8, 18, 28 or 38 depending on the tier lvl of the scenario.
10. Tons of scenarios. There are 4 tiers of lvls in the game. In each tier there are 3 continents if you will... Human v Chaos, Dwarf v Greenskins and High Elf v Dark Elf. This makes 12 specific zones. Each zone has its own scenario. It currently seems like you are unable to go back to a lower lvl zones scenario once you are past it.
11. World RVR like WoW used to have. Says it all.
12. RVR is a legitimate way to make both gold (and items worthwhile for it) and experience (will be slower then questing.)
13. Items from vendors dont suck. I always hated that aside from food and quest items vendors serve no real purpose in WoW.
14. Renown. Think Honor done correctly, also it has its own talent tree.
15. CHICKENS! Currently if you are higher lvl then the zone allows for and you enter an RVR area (no PVE / PVP servers for WAR) you get turned into a chicken. As a chicken you are slow as hell and take massive damage from anyone. I hit a chicken last night for roughly 10k damage, I was level 8 and normally crit for about 100-200.
I'm thinking of being good (maybe). Only because more of the player base seems to be evil.
Being the minority is fun.
I rolled a Swordmaster, aaand got rolled in pvp. I do not want to play as a tank in a battlegrounds PUG, unless I'm a melee healer. I just don't have faith in other players, and I don't want to just dive right into a pile of people to die.
If you're after PvE, WoW will probably be superior to WAR in every way.Quote:

I was definately going to try warhammer out. Nodd too I think - not sure.
I'm on Isle of Dread, Chaos side
Waerloga
Loreley
Can someone please redub that video clip. The cadence is all fucked up.
Ill be playing WAR when I get my new comp next month. Let me know what server. I havnt checked the damn thing in a while but I was looking at the human pyromancer or the chaos zealot
I'll be playing order on Averheim.
I'm leaning toward Wolfenburg - Open RvR, Chaos side.
(simply because it is the most jewish sounding server)
I am playing Order on Dark Crag Open RVR Server. Hop in and say hi. I am Nalick the Rune Priest. Someone thought they would be funny and went down our Roster and reserved all of the officers names before we got on to create. =/
I played an early beta of this over a year ago and thought it was going to be crap-in-a-box, but I have to say, I am really enjoying so far.
Im on Monolith; Destruction, with Phank. My main is Zobb if you want to say hi. Its a carebear server but plenty of action to go around.
Still having fun. My server is like super mega hardcore. Its already been split once and we have several level 40's as early as last week. heh
Skaara, I'll be looking for you tonight! Its either swordmaster guy, or white lion dude, maybe shadow hunter man.
Once the servers come back up I'll be there!
Must have missed ya trem, let me know when you want to try again.
Shadow hunter > swordmaster and liondude. srsly
But it's all about the witch elf, baby!~!
Your in Blood Legion?Give Troxed props for me hahaha
I was in blood legion for a few years after Hoss but I have since left them and am with the Huk's now for Warhammer. Troxed was still an app to Blood Legion when I left.Quote:
