Its overkill.
I've installed WAR on my rig twice with a reinstall and the launch icon for WAR is nowhere to be found on my desktop!?!?! Where is the launch icon?
There's no icon at all. I have to run warpatch.exe in order to launch the game and everytime i do that, it tries to patch the game, then goes into the game and I have to accept the EULA every single time I enter the game. Problem here: http://forums.tentonhammer.com/showthread.php?t=35339
This fix doesn't even work: http://www.gamearena.com.au/forums/3133/thread.php/4796703
There has to be an easier way!
You always have to accept the EULA. It's a lawyer thing.
I'm surprised I'm allowed to play without even buying the game.
I pre-ordered on amazon around 8/20 and canceled my order so I could pick it up at a store so I could play it instantly however I'm playing right now without even having a retail box.
Game feels ....... improved and more polished then the preview weekend. I gotta admit, when I loaded it up I had NO interest anymore in WAR, but after playing it again for and hour and reaching level 6.....as a tank.....I'm hooked.
I saw a level 21 on a mount showing off at the starting area.....man these people are fast.

Well, I finally got into the pre-order beta after wiping my system and re-downloading the beta client.
My Impressions:
Killing Spiders:
The spiders are of equal size to the spiders in WOW. Similar attacks and drops too. I hate spiders.
Killing Boars:
Anyone who level grinds on boars knows a good boar is important. War has boars just like WOW.
Killing skeletons:
The skeletons are bonier than WOW. IMHO.
Level up DING effect:
When leveling up there is a tremendous clanging of axes on shields while you are bathed in the "Just leveled glow". This is way better than WOW.
Well that is it in a nutshell. Weeee!
After playing this for 4 hours I got back on WOW and I think I hate them both.
Are most people hoping on open RvR? I played WoW on a PvE and not a PVP and regretted it. I think with this game focused on PvP, open PvP is the way to go. Anyone care to comment on this?
because they are making the chicken mechanic more relaxed and allowing people from the tier above you to come back and smash your face....at least that's what it said in one announcement. So, you'll be bolstered to 8 and they could potentially be level 21.....meh.
No one goes for the healers or casters. Instead, you'll have 8 people beating on the tank who just keeps getting heals and nukers taking you out at range with ease. When you politely make a suggestion to change strategy, here come the "shut up noob" and all that noise.
So after a lot of RvR with several different character types, I'm convinced that while Warhammer's PvP mechanics are wonderful and refreshing, the players are still the same morons I dealt with in WoW (at least on my server, Azazel).

Reminds me of the RvR scenarios, I thought they'd be a little more balanced than they tend to be. Even with the buff lower-level players get in scenarios, it was frustrating seeing the other side with all level 10 and 11 players, smashing your face before your level 5 self could get even a pittance of damage off.

Maybe I've been unlucky for the past week, but it seems like the "selfishness" (if such a word can be applied to something as unimportant in the grand scheme of life as a game) is just as bad as in WoW.
The game is infested with WoW kids now shouting commands in PVP.

This right here has been true of my Open Beta, HeadStart, and 1st week of WarHammer. I play as a Rune Priest, and everytime DPS comes smashing my face and I say in chat: "Please Protect you healers and we can heal you, then perhaps we could win." I get a load of : "stfu and heal" "you suck" "stop complaining and heal" "stop complaining and maybe we'd win"
Yes, because you can win when the other team is killing your ass and you have no healers. *Sigh*
On my dread specced (well, 1st 3 points anyway) Chosen I try to go after healers first. But my DPS is so low that I can't kill them without help.
It seems like you're looking for an MMO without people?
Im enjoying the game a lot. I'm actually having fun levelling. The only thing annoying right now is that I am level 13 Chosen, and I do not have any of my knockdowns or anything yet. I don't really have anything to help the team besides my auras so far. I know that changes in a few levels though, so I will stick with it.
No, I'm looking for a game where children don't play.
No, I'm looking for a game where children don't play. Warhammer was awesome until the official launch day.
Apparently, the people on the Age of Conan forums say stuff like this a lot. Sounds like your kind of game to me personally.
Protip: Kids play a lot of games.
Let us know when you find a popular game/MMO where there are absolutely 0 children and the entire player base is mature. Thanks.

AOC is terrible, but yeah it was pretty children-free
One great touch - they mailed me a 'Pendragon Knot' trophy, I guess for having a Daoc account or for having daoc + war on the same mythic account. The mail mentioned something about remembering past battles, nice touch. Thats a trophy I will always use, the daoc symbol brings back memories.
So back in May I preordered the collector's edition from Best Buy. Boy was that a mistake, took them like an hour to find the CE box in the backroom (no longer on shelves), after trying to give me a copy of normal WAR instead. "No, its a huge box"
The CE art book and comic are really nice, high-quality. Art for Warhammer is so damn good. No idea what I will do with the metal statue, I never played tabletop War and dont know how to put it together. In-game CE stuff is hit or miss, some of the faces are great (human, goblin, chaos), some are lame (elves) and the CE quests, titles and trophies are nice but nothing special or anything a normal player will miss having.
Been playing on an Open ruleset the last few days, its hectic. See some level 20+ players in the T1 and T2 zones, shitting up PQs, running down lowbies on mounts and generally being annoying. Theres no bolster buff in open RvR which really discourages it at lower tiers. Theres none of the back-and-forth pvp battles you get on Core servers because levels are uneven and players pvp in the whole world instead of designated free-speech zones. Even without Bolster, we were able to take T2 keeps with one warband of sub-20s. And it is satisfying to gang up and kill a significantly higher-level player.
I'm playing Order on a Destro-heavy server, but ganking isnt frequent, and it goes both ways. Found out that some PQ bosses for the other faction can be friendly to you. I ran across one group of Chaos, all higher level than my bright wizard, fighting the Reaper PQ in Ostland. I know from experience how hard that guy is, so after sniping with a few AEs and DoTs, they went from holding their own to wiped and I gave the Reaper a high-five.
Still undecided if I like Open more than Core. I think the game was meant to be played Core, with battles instead of skirmishes and ganking. But Open is fun, its chaotic and the PvE gameworld feels dangerous and alive instead of safe and static. At level cap the payoff should be a larger area to PvP in, all of the T4 zones + T3 zones.
