Sometimes something is so good that the flaws stand out like thorns on a rose stem. I'm sure that my next batch of posts about Warhammer are going to seem very critical, but I wouldn't bother pointing out what is wrong with the game if I wasn't enjoying it so much.

I hadn't expected to love WAR. I wasn't even sure if I'd play the game, it seemed in many ways to be contrary to what I prefer in an MMORPG. But what's there, the core of gameplay, is fun.

There are, however, a LOT of bugs and issues. But these are easy to forget when you're having a good time.

I was the same way with World of Warcraft when it was released. It was such a wonder at first that most players glossed over some significant issues that they would otherwise roast a game for. WAR is much the same, some of the issues are big, even close to show-stopping (the poor ways WAR handles lag come to mind), but it's worth playing.

That won't stop me however, from being very critical of Mythic. Some things need fixing now, while others should be addressed sooner or later.
