Freakin 9.4GB download.. Yiikess.

[Phant0m51]

It downloaded fine overnight for me. I'll be seeding this until I get at least a 2.0 share ratio on it.

I only snagged 25% last night, but started at midnight. Plus my DSL's pretty slow.

dammit i saw this too late

Ok, I've only got a lvl 4 Marauder, but here's my small review for now.

Camera works good, but it can confuse the hell out of you when fighting multiple mobs and switch back and forth between them (DoT's). The camera will occasionally jump a full 180* and possibly disorient you, I know it did for me before I got used to it.

Controls are great, and even on the test servers there was minimal lag. Graphics are pretty sweet.

My 2 biggest gripe's right now are the class selection. I just can't find any classes that really appeal to me. I played 2 warriors in WoW, and I also played a Druid. My druid in WoW was my absolute favorite to ever play in any game, and there is nothing remotely close to it in Warhammer which makes it hard for me to find a class I enjoy. The Marauder is similar to a warrior in WoW, having different morphs that use different skills, it genuinely reminds me of them.

My second is I don't really enjoy the feel of the game. It's fun, and the quest system is freaking awesome, but the game just doesn't "feel" good to me. I don't really know why.

A I said above, the quest system is GODLY. It's freaking awesome being able to walk into an area and suddenly you're part of a group quest where you have to kill a bunch of mobs and then a boss. So you kill the boss, and everybody that helped gets rewarded for their participation. No 25-man raids, no dedicating your time to raiding forever to get loot, just go to a group quest area, help them kill it, and you get rewarded.

This is what scares me. The characters animations look really clunky, old and lame.. Oh well I'm like half way done on the beta download, so I'll try it tonight.

keep the reviews coming......

Ive been debating on getting this

[hans5849]

So is this like WH40K?

[Scooby]

no, not at all.

This is an MMORPG and set with the old Fantasy Warhammer world. The one that Blizzard got Warcraft from, not the one they got Starcraft from

[superman]

I feel like this game is in every way better than WoW.

[darktides]

I feel it is a little clunky, but not bad. I was getting some lag but not bad for beta. The quest system is impressive and I like that every quest reward suits your class. I have a high elf, the one with the lion, cant remember the name and not at home. anyway it is fun I liked doing the zone quest, i placed 2nd the 3rd time i did it. it isnt a wow killer but it is very fun

[-Sevendust-]

Damn it looks like Im going to try it.

[Phant0m51]

I agree with darktides, it isn't a wow killer.

I do like almost everything about it better than WoW, except 2 things. I actually prefer WoW's graphics. I don't know why but they seem to fit the atmosphere better.

The second is I've played 6 different classes and still haven't made it past Rank 6 (lvl 6). I can't find a class I like to play, and it's starting to frustrate me. I want to like this game but I just can't.

[superman]

I prefer Warhammer's graphics, but WoW's are definitely more pleasing to look at.

Also, I guess I should have said it's better in every way if you don't want to spend hours and hours of your time raiding for gear.

100% agree, i like the game but not sure if I will buy it. I like that raid type quests can be done with random people and you don't have to group to do it

[chapel]

Ive been playing it a bit and have been enjoying it.

I heard that once you get to lvl 10 and above, that is where the characters really shine, so if you haven't gotten above 6 in any, then you should push past the lul and then you might enjoy it better.
