| cwbys21 said: I've played both WoW and War at a friends house and WoW was alright (though tediously slow after playing lots of Guild Wars) and War's battle system makes WoW look like Guild Wars. For the hour or so that I played whenever I got into a battle it is just spamming 11111111111111111111111111111111111 so that your character will actually attack. If you don't spams specific attacks he takes all day and all night in between normal attacks while the enemies attack 3x faster than you do. Unless that changes, and fast, I think War will bomb. I know they want to keep you subscribing but to slow down the pace of battle so slowly will drive people away. I used to give my neighbor a bad time about playing a walking simulator with WoW, now maybe I will have to give him a bad time about a crawling simulator with War. |
I played Guild Wars a lot and I disagree with saying that War has a slow battle system. I agree that pressing an attack every time is a bit ridiculous but you get used to it quickly. And even in Guild Wars you better use an attack on most of your swings anyways, otherwise you are not doing that much damage. Later on you get a lot of nice skills so you will be spaming pretty much every skill on your bar. I had to do the same thing I did back with Guild Wars with making skills 5-8 Q,E,R,C so I could reach them quickly. This battle system reminds me a lot from Guild Wars where skills recharged quickly and you had to constantly use every skill in your possession.
