Crowd control has two kind of 12 seconds immunities so, well, you might not have played at all lately.

The amount of time i spend disable is minimal compared to that i spent fighting, and it's not even slightly comparable to first generation DAOC.

Again, you might want to get your facts straight and then come again.

Anyway, Completely deserved award, and it's not the only one since they got the MMO of the year from gamespot as well. Mythic shown that a successful fantasy MMO that isn't WoW can be made, and it can only improve and expand further from now on. The future is much brighter than some doomsayers dribble.

Agreed. Crowd control is a minor annoyance in WAR. It pisses you off when it happens to you, of course, but it's not game altering and it breaks easily. The've done it really well.

You'll never have the WoW crowd control experiences where you spend the whole fight stun locked, feared, or otherwise out of control and never get a shot off before you die.

I agree. And it's not like I haven't played the game, I was an R40 RR45 Warrior Priest in the top PvP guild on my server, and played until a couple of weeks ago. Disabling and knockdown effects ruin the game in mass PvP. The diminishing returns almost never work as intended and all RvR becomes is who has the most disables.

Let me tell you it gets boring when the only fight you get on your server is against almost twice your numbers with all their members using AoE disables and the like. Maybe you play on destruction (order has almost no disables or knockdowns) because destro has a TON of retarded crowd control.

So I don't know what you guy's are experiencing, but it certainly wasn't the game I played. I applaud them because the RvR was fun when it ended up being even numbers, didn't lag and the enemy didn't immediately run with their tail behind their legs. But sadly for me I never got many of those good experiences, instead my server deciding that trading keeps was a much more fun pastime.

I play order, which got a nice reinforcement in it's crowd control with the KOTBS (a MUCH needed and welcomed addition), and you probably quit before the latest very extensive changes to CC immunities were made. Again. I'm afraid your vision of the game is outdated.

In two weeks MMORPGs can change a lot, expecially warhammer, which is handled by a very reactive company that actually works hard on solving the problems as soon as possible.

Not even nearly. :D As a frontline tank in both games i can most definately tell that the CC in WAR is much, much more mild than what we used to face in DAOC.

Actually WOTLK was between the competitors, (and it'0s very safe to assume that so was mine of moria, since an expansion is considered for the MMO of the year). They simply got beaten. Why? because they're both inferior to Warhammer, in more ways than one, at least for the editors that decided the award. And I woleheartedly agree.

The only inferiority of WoW is that it came out 4 years ago and people have been playing it for 4 years.

Categorically, every single other feature is already done better in WoW, but some people after doing the same thing for 4 years want something a little different. And WAR is a little different. But inferior point for point. It's just newer, and that certainly doesn't equal better.

Lol you're seriously delirious, lethalithy. Talk about being a rabid and completely blind wow fanboy. There's basically nothing that WoW has done better than Warhammer, other than making it EASY to appease to kids that can't really face an ounce of challenge. But dodn't worry. You can continue being spanked by mobs, since your evident hate for warhammer most obviously comes from having been smashed in RvR too much. IF you did even try to play it, of course.

It's a completely non-innovative game - there's nothing new that WoW hasn't done better already.

If you define success as 200,000 niche players, then grats, it's successful.

Ahah, Lethality what orifice did you pull those numbers from? A game doesn't have a certain number of players because you wish it to, you know? This is, though, one of your most hilarious fanboyish statements.
You, a wow fanboy, accuse another game of not being innovative? While you worship THE game that brought absolutely NO innovation to the MMORPG genre and still does nothing else than copying features from other games?

Sorry to rain on your parade of sillyness, kid, but Warhammer's innovative features have been explained and shown hundreds of times, so you have really nothing to back up your misguided argument.

Public quests, the campaign system, livinc cities, open groups, the ability to exp to cap completely in PvP, living guilds, and quite a lot more. There's been MUCH more innovation in three months of warhammer than in all of WoW's years (not that it's hard to do more than zero).

Eat it up. Warhammer won the award, and it's not the only one, and won't be the last one, now you can go sulk in a corner.

Given the choice between the award from some random TV show, and the record-breaking sales of WotLK, combined with universally positive reviews - I think most companies would say thanks, but no thanks, to the award.

Also, in regards to CC, I was there for the latest patch (I've looked over the patch notes) and it really didn't make a difference to me. What class are you playing? The reason I ask is, because I played a healer (and a MELEE HEALER) I got to see every ounce of CC people had.
