WAR's failings
April 27th 2009 16:48
For a long while now I've had only one or two accounts active across all games. Recently, I have been running two EQ accounts and letting the time run down on my Warhammer Online account. For some reason the other day, I decided to upgrade my SOE account to the all-access pass. I figured for a few extra dollars I could check out Vanguard, again, and EQ 2. The opportunity to play more than one game sparked a need in me to find something new so I logged in to my WAR account last night, and took a few screenines.
What I noticed most about WAR is how crappy of a game it is. Sure it looks pretty, I seems to be fun. But you get down to it, and its just like WOW. Redundant killing of trash mobs constantly. Oh! You say "The RvR makes up for it?" It is okay, if you can play it. My experience with the game tells that you need to have a pretty rocking system if you're going to even enjoy RvR. I was running an E6400 Overclocked, 2 gigs of DDR2533 RAM, and an nVidia GeForce 8800 GTS. I got choppy graphical lag, couldn't even participate in RvR, and had a really difficult time moving in areas with lots of people. It wasn't until I bought a new system that I could play with any degree of fluidity or smoothness.
Thankfully that same system allows me to play eq with 2 clients. Here are a few screenies of my latest jaunt through the game.
