Warhammer RvR preview

[Ara]

Who cares if it looks bad ? its still in alpha, and comparing it to wow is just a bad idea. If WAR will be as focused on pvp as it seems to be, it will be nothing like WoW. WoW lacks good pvp badly, instanced bg's (and arena in upcoming expansion) doesnt cut it. Not mentioning the poor reward system thats been in since release, and still dont think it will change much with the changed system in expansion, WoW is mainly pve and pvp as a sidedish stuffed away in a secluded corner of the game where it has no influence on the world.

But if WAR delivers what it promise on the pvp side its going to be alot of fun, WoW is a great game too but tired of people comparing the two because it might look a bit same.

I'd care as a developer! I wouldn't DREAM of releasing that into the market(meant internet). Especially when it's Warhammer!

I can't believe Workshop didn't tell a big a** NO to Mythic(was it?), or i really hope they did it behind Workshops back and get a beating

It's just a bad video. Not the graphics alone, but the lack of...everything.

Wonder if the rvr will go the way of opt groups and zergs

Yes, of course.

Because some players will always want to maximise their pvp chances, so will form 'ideal' groups with like minded people, try to maximise their kit/characters, try to level fast, and then try to dominate pvp (with whatever rewards there are as a result).

Those players will exclude those they consider to have a different view, and whilst some of those players will form their own 'ideal' groups, others will not be as effective, so will band together as solos or as multiple groups, and will be the zerg.

Unless players change, I can't see any RvR going any other way, unless the game only appeals to group vs group or zerg vs zerg.

It's clear I will dominate WAR.

Guys.... DOAC alpha!

Dont judge it till its released

:EDIT: is it just me or does that Bloody Skeleton model look EXACTLY like the ones that are still around!?!?!

 

[Mey]

DAOC Alpha is years old and compared to some of the games out at that time those graphics were pretty damn good!

 

[Ahtlehson]

Hahaha.. Old DAoC graphs looks so old..

 

[Raven]

it looks awful

 

[Bugz]

The sound was the worse part. Really hurt my ears

 

[Outlander]

not uber impressed yet really

rep because i thought exactly the same

 

[Ara]

Ah old memories, recognise some names from there aswell

 

[Sparda]

the point is those apha shot look nothing like the released version of DAoC, which is how the game looks now when you turn off the catcombs models and tree's, water ect.

EA mythic have a year left to nail this.

 

[old.Tohtori]

EA mythic

Not to go too off-topic, but anyone else get the chills when hearing that?

 

[Bahumat]

shame there is no collision detection (sounds like what elftor was on about this too), also the sound of them swinging was a whoosh sound (nothing wrong with that) but when they connect you dont get the klunk of metal on metal.....its late and i watched it half asleep, maybe they did and i missed it?

i personally wasnt complaining about the gfx,
the combat just looks crap

yeah, but hey, there the guys making W.A.R.

Just expect Dark Age of Camelot 2642 Street "Carbon extream edition" in a shop sometime soon!

 

[Zenith]

Its a video from Alpha testing you geek not the final product. I think you should become a real life paladin and walk into people and stuff.

Its a game.

Even if its the alpha testing, you can get a hint from what the final product will look like.. They dont change ALL of the graphics. But yeah, quite some things will change, and they will seriously need it. That video looked like crap.

 

[Tilda]

I suggest you read what Tallen posted in the WAR forums about it.

Mythic have a year to nail this, tbh its fucking impressive they have a stable game + server running with this much in it.

 

[Gahn]

My wide guess is that at this stage, sound, appearance of characters and spell and style effects are the less important bits they are working on.
I would hold the "wtf dh00m shit game" sayings at least till Semi Public Beta tbh.

 

[Gamah]

It will improve a lot, the game isn't out for a year yet

Stable game? Server? MUCH?

Do elaborate these points.

It's a "stable" video without even an UI of a few character models swinging things and having disco lights flash on them. There's NOTHING else.

It's not at all impressive, and if it is, i've underestimated the brains of the playerbase these days and will go make a game with flashy things and jingly sounds to make millions.

It had jingly sounds?

 

[Sharma]

It's impressive they have all the foundations down and such but good god, even the DAoC animations look better than this, here's hoping.

if its so awful why are you still playing daoc :S (assuming that you are), more to the point why are you still posting here.. this is the Daoc community without the Daoc so the only reason to troll here is if you like talking to the community. Saying you only stay for a few people is rather silly as you could have them on msn or something similar and not read these boards at all..

I found the vast majority to be very nice tbh, if they werent i wouldnt have played this game for 2 odd years after it reached its expirey date

I still play DAoC on the US forums with my guildies and friends and finding the people over there really friendly just like it used to be on prydwen. The reason I still read these boards is that a lot of people here are decent people the problem as always, is the minority of closed minded arrogant pricks that unfortunately on these boards has risen to far above average levels.

I've played WAR in it`s current form and thought it was brilliant if a little slow paced compared to DAoC in the PvE department. Also in reply to whoever else it was go read Sanya's recent interview which clearly states the very same point I just made regarding any similarities to WoW. I'm no WAR fanboy but can clearly see the huge potential and excellent work they've done this far as well as putting that together with their plans for RvR which should make this an awsome game with no equal.

Yeah you did since it's allready posted

Yes you did, haha

 

[Garok]

Look like alot of lowbie toons running round bashing each other in a Low res Video. At base level when you have only 2-3 moves its not

At top level with a full quota of moves funky and some looking set of armour + weps its gonna be alot better I would imagin.

 

[Jeros]

Ah ok its just it came up as alpha on google
