So does warhammer blow AoC out of the water?

Ive been reading these forums alot the past 2 months and have been playing AoC and Warhammer ( I beta tested war for over 1 1/2 years ).
So many people have posted that they hate AoC and Funcom and are going to warhammer. So after the whole tryout weekend or what have you.. the people who have played warhammer... does it blow AoC away like you though it would?
My opinion..
AoC seams to have more action based combat and a shit ton of potential if funcom can fix it!
Warhammer is very polished.. but the combat is a little slow.. and can get rather boring fast. Also im not really sure where mythic can go with warhammer besides adding more content like wow does! (im mainly taking about features they can add later on based off of what the game has to offer now)
Just to get this out of the way.. this post isnt about what game i like more or what game i think is better. Im just wondering if people think warhammer as a game blows aoc out of the water like so many have said. Now i know people are going to bring up the lies, bugs, issues, no content etc thats fine but aoc isnt going to have all those issues.. and when that days comes... (i hope sooner than later) will people still think war is better?
If you would like me to go into details on anything please let me know!
Thanks

I think AoC sank already, so war can't blow it out of the water.

Are you having fun ? i know i am , that all that matters in the end .
This is very true but when you see nothing but im leaving for warhammer etc.. and now people have had the chance to im just interested in there findings is all.
Even if Funcom can fix the mess they released, who would go back?
I have never gone back to an MMORPG that was rubbish because of bugs etc why would i put myself through the pain of their flinch class balance every week.
They don't even test their patches for goodness sake.
you are a LIAR , you could not have tested war for over a year and a half, and the answres to your question you are seeking, if you where a beta tester you would already know the answers.
Ahh, the AoC fanboys are trying to make a mark here now? bit of pay back is it?
This game could be absolute crap and still shit all over AoC....true story.
can somebody at mmorpg please lock or delete this post!
Sorry i didnt think this post would go to shit so fast without me being called a fanboy even when i said and pointed out aoc flaws but alright!
also i got accepted into the warhammer online beta may of last year!
People just need to look at your post history to see the AoC fanboism and WAR trashing.
It sank before release m8
Beta:
GW, WOW, AOC, DAOC, DOD, L2, VG.
Playd:
GW necro msx, WOW never maxd, DAOC reaver-paladin-cabalist-vamp max, L2 never maxd, VG never maxd.
Play:
Daoc - Paladin. Classic.
Maybe if ou never opened the thread stating how much potential AoC has and how good it is going to get and asking where WAR can go when that game isnt even released yet,If you are really after people's opinion then start another thread and leave out all the AoC can be this and that and just ask "do you think WAR is good"
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

They both have their ups and downs.
Thankfully WAR has more ups than downs, while AoC is pretty much a big downward slope with a couple of bumps along the way.
I don't see why everyone bashes AOC and sure I don't like it but its still alot better than 90% of the crap out there.
You can play better free mmo's than AoC. Paying to play that game defies all logic when you can just play something like GW.
Everyone here has it when they say, "AoC sank long ago." I so badly wanted to like AoC but it was laggy, buggy, short-sighted and Guild Wars 2.
WAR is a fantastic game (though it did take me a while to figure out how to get my graphic settings higher because I am a new Nvidia user) and so far I have only encountered 2 bugs out of about 10 hours of gameplay.
Dont think so. Of what I read War will be something for the hard fan core only.
Um, dude...I've never played a Warhammer game before. Not a RTS or tabletop. In fact, I used to be the kid who made fun of Warhammer geeks at the comic book store. (Irony huh? Comic book geek insulting dice geeks?) But this game...rocks my socks.
I like AoC and I have never said 1 bad thing about WAR because I have not played it but why isnt the Beta running on High graphics? and If players don't like WAR who cares as long as the players playing it do and to bash AoC is like beating a dead horse its not going no where but up think about it.

rocks my socks (lmao)
For the same reason that games like LOTRO didnt have the beta in high graphics... the massive additional download size and to make space for all the beta data gathers.

Considering AOC is the worst MMO is history and Hello Kitty online would be an improvement over it I would say yes.
Warhammer is awesome, I played it for about 14 hours yesterday and its the best MMO I have seen since WOW.
THANK YOU MYTHIC
Then Im just guessing all you have ever played is WoW, AoC, Hello Kitty, and now WAR so I guess I could see why you think this.

Thanks I was wondering why they did that.
I dab into AoC still and like it, but I wouldnt call it the worst MMO in history. There are a couple that hold this title. AoC just needs a little more love and could possibly be fun for me.
Anyways
Can you say Dark and Light and Roma Victor for the worst mmorpgs.
But, Shitty mmorpgs that were bad, but came into their own.. Anarchy Online and Vangaurd.
As for the OP post.
Lets just say everyone of friends that got in PW did'nt believe WAR was all that, till they tried it. However they set their expectations down real low and stayed away from the hype meter. We all played last night together for 6+ hours of non-stop fun. Whether this fun will last over 30+ days for them when the game is released, is still to be seen.
But all 7 of them are going to buy Warhammer and give it a try.
