okay guys. i went to bestbuy today, had the game in my hand, really thought about the purchase, and decided not to get this game. reason? because although a lot of people are giving this game great praise, there are also a big group of people that does not like this game due to bugs, graphics, gameplay, etc. i really feel that people are into this game because its a little different than WOW, and its a new game infatuation. in the long run, interest in this game will not last. I am sure in the future patches to WoW, new features will be released that will be similar, or even out do the WAR RvR/PvP system. besides, WOTLK will be coming out soon, ill wait till that comes out first and see how that compare with WAR in the fun to play/hold interest/worth spending time on category.

a wise choice imo
I was totally for this game, but now that I've been playing a bit, I see its far from complete.
There's a ton of bugs, especially game breaking exploits (just found 2 more myself tonight) and I imagine me and friends will be finding more.
Bank...where is it and is it like WoW in that you can buy extra space etc?

Currently there is a bug that makes you randomly lose equipment and CSRs are unable to handle item reimbursement at this time it seems.
Which is just one of many many bugs.
I'm willing to forgive animation bugs, ui bugs, ai/pathing bugs, but losing gear is a pretty big bug, and without a way to reimburse, its no go imo.
back up statements with evidence?
Gear going poof @ WHA
Crashing deletes my weapon @ WHA
There are some a VNBoards but their all in general warhammer discussion, and I'm not wading through that.
My wife has personally lost 2 items and 3 days now we've been waiting in "escalated" appeals without reimbursement.
The more I play the more I regret buying the game ATM.
PS here is a canned reply:
Dear Customer,
As we have discussed in-game, we are regrettably unable to restore items at the moment
We can advise that there are renown gear merchants across all tiers from which you may acquire a replacement weapon. Also the auction house is available in your capital city.
Thank you for your appeal.
Kind regards,
WAR European Customer Support Team
It is affecting US servers too, and to top it off if you play order, good luck getting to a renowned vendor 90% of the time, sure I can get there randomly, but odds of us owning a keep when something randomly disappears? Pretty low at this point.
To also add that renown gear got nerfed and is TOTAL CRAP compared to PVE/Influence rewards.

Videos or it didn't happen.
I've had zero major bugs so far. Not a single CTD. No alt+tab problems. No texture problems. My friends all say the same. These reports we're hearing about endemic bugginess are blown way out of proportion.
WoW fanboys looking for any excuse to tear down the game.

I am playing on a fairly busy server (medium all day, high at night) and there`s just no one around. No one talks on General... no one doing the PQ`s... it`s very lonely.

Bug free for me more or less, some minor ones like NPC quest givers missing their quest symbol above their heads when you go back after completion, minor glitches on the NPC horses in RvR empire area.
ALL my quests have been fine so far over 200 done.
As to WoW lol that game is well overated played it for 6 months and just found it boring,WAR is an improvement on WoW for sure.
There is ONLY one way to rate a game and thats is to try it for yourself, both negative and positive reasons won't tell you how good the game is unless YOU actually play it.
Bank...where is it and is it like WoW in that you can buy extra space etc?
I found a bank while exploring they are not hard to find,try large cites (mine was in Empire region when I took a flight at the docks),can't remember name of the city.

Troubleshooting problems is the worst bit of this game. Not only do you have to wait 20 seconds to log off (or none of your in-game settings save), you also have to wait through five incredibly loud intro movies to get back into the game.
I have only watched the intro movie once. Hit the "any key" to skip it and jump right into the game.
You are having a large number of problems with the game. Have you tried contacting them about the problems?
Maybe not, since you had trouble finding the "any key." /jk
Well there's also the EA movie, the Mythic movie, the GW movie, and the WAR movie, with the WAR one being the most annoyingly loud. The in game audio controls do not have any effect on the intro movies either, so I had to lower my overall system volume and boost vent inbound to even it out, and it still gets really loud randomly. Skipping the main intro movie is possible, but it really shouldn't come up after the first time you run the game, and a couple of the people I play with don't see it when they launch. One doesn't see it on his PC but it still comes up on his laptop, so it's probably another bug.

addition 2: having issues with crafting...i chose talisman making and scavenging. Big mistake apparently, since i havent found a single fragment so far, which is a core ingredient for talismans. Found lots of the other 3 ingredient types though. I guess i need to take salvaging or something? Anyone know what gets you fragments?

Last night I encountered a few more bugs that are related to the massive lag my server was experiencing. I was in an RVR scenario at one point and NO ONE could hit me. I couldn't attack anyone else either as I kept receiving either the message "Target not in range" or "Invalid target." I'm sure the order team was getting the same thing trying to hit me. This actually worked in our favor, because I found as a witch elf, being a front line squishy means EVERYONE focuses on you. So while the entire order team is trying to focus on me and figure out why the hell they can't hit me, my team is tearing them apart one by one. Not that I could do anything to solve the issue. It happened more then a few times last night. A couple to me, and a few to other people.

There are several visual sync issues in the game, where what the client shows to be happening is not what the server understands is happening.
The most common is ranged mobs with a bounce-back ability. They'll throw you, the client will represent them as running toward you with their melee weapon, when actually they're taking their ranged weapon back out...so you stand there trying to attack this mob standing right next to you, shooting you, yet he's not in range. It's happened very rarely in RvR, too. This is the most frustrating bug I've noticed, however, I'm sure it will get fixed eventually and it's hardly a deal-breaker.
