War was vastly over-hyped.
Just got done with a 3 hour play session of War.
Ha.
Let me say first off, I don't see the game as "bad". It is far superior than the crappy grind fests that come out of Asia, so woot to that. However, when you stack it up to another top MMO, say WORLD OF WARCRAFT, it just falls apart. The combat is rather slow and clunky, the cast bar seems off many times, and the UI seems very uhhh cluttered I guess you would say? The quests are alright, same style just like WoW so I have no beef with them. The graphics... I don't know. They just seem generic, I can't really explain it. The servers aren't very stable right now either, but that's expected because its the first day of OB.
Now before you guys attack back with it has BETTER PVP AND RVR is awesome yada yada, the one thing that kills all of that is that War just doesn't nail down the fundamentals like WoW does. Whereas WoW's combat is fully responsive and dare I say perfect, War feels slow and as I said before clunky. It just kills it for me. I'll be spamming away at lob choppa and it just doesn't feel like it's hitting correctly, and in some ways makes me feel detatched from the combat.
Maybe a few patches down when Mythic can piece together the Combat, I'll give it another shot. But for now, no. I'm cancelling my peorder and giving them about 6 months to get it right.
Edit: I know it's OB, I was in WoW's beta as well and that game showed much more potential than War does now. But as I said before, it isn't totally broken, it just needs a complete overhaul.
In conclusion, lol to the people that said War would dominate WoW. War does have the potential... but right now no.
