Warhammer Online

Wood Elves would work like Greenskins I'd wager. Not a single race, but two - Wood Elves and Dryads. And since Dryads are essentially walking trees, you've got your tank.

I'd love to see them and Lizardmen added as a set of races in an expansion.

New cinematic is spiffy.

I have to wonder tho'... given the number of times they've shown the Dwarf Slayer (original cinematic, tapestry in the new one), I'm surprised they didn't use that for the Dwarf DPS class. I wouldn't be overly surprised to see it enter the game as a new class at some point in the future.

There were a lot of other classes that didn't make the cut that I understood why (Dark Elf Assassin, Empire Engineer/Greatsword/Flagellant, High Elf Dragon Knight, Orc Weirdboy, etc), but the Dwarf Slayer just seemed like such an obvious choice.

They can't really do Khorne or Slaanesh with the Teen rating apparently. Slayer would pretty much need all his armour to be tattoos, hopefully they could pull it off though Slayers are awesome. I'd love to see Skaven, as long as Gutter Runners were in, i'd probably play one over Chosen. Luckily with Chaos one of the first quest npc's you meet is apparently a Skaven :D. Making Chaos, Chaos Undivided would of been good, as lore wise most of the times that they come together as Undivided it's Tzeentch at the forefront.
 
Well, I got what limited patching was required done this morning. Just waiting on tomorrow for the servers to come up for the weekend, I guess... :o

Sources tell me they could be up as early as 9am est. I'm betting closer to noon though.
 
Good, since I won't bother getting up until closer to noon anyway. :biggrin:
 
The Tome of Knowledge has to be the coolest feature in an MMO ever. It is an achiever's dream tracking everything you do right out of the starting gates. Here's a shot of the table of contents:

The guild management interface is also awesome in this game. I don't have shots of all the pages, but here's the profile tab and you can see the different features lining the top of the page:

Quick question, but is WAR handling similar to WoW (keyboard and mouse only), or is it like FFXI (for PC) in that you can use keyboard, mouse, and gamepad?

Personally, I use only the mouse and keyboard. I have not heard of anyone using gamepads with WAR, but with the amount of customization available in this game, it wouldn't surprise me if you could.

I can hide Long Piggy on a top shelf if you want. :fencing:

On a more on-topic note, the Tome and other aspects of the interface are something I'm really looking forward to. Kill quests are typically obnoxious, and I hate it when I wind up getting a quest I should theoretically have completed quite a bit earlier, but the NPC doesn't seem to know that.

Now, if WAR avoids the whole issue with WOW fetchquests, I'll be even happier.

Long Piggy :(


:P Guess Long Piggy can have your half of the bed!


Sorry to de-rail :x

Anyways, I can't wait for this come out. The pics look amazing.
 
I hope someone can help. I am having issues with Warhammer Online.

I have downloaded the beta client already. When I try to open War application, it sayd I need the newest version of DirectX or something along those lines.

Then it says "Not to worry I am being sent to the page to download it." First and foremost I run Vista and have directx 10, and on the page I cannot find where to download anything from.

I am at work and stupid work filters will not le me access warhammer forums to see if anyone else is having this problem and how they fixed it.

If someone can help me I would be very happy, so please, help me.

Thank you in advance

Warhammer Online has just won Games Convention Leipzigs Best Online Game award. I shall be there tomorrow (I LOVE YOU CHIIMI) and hopefully i'll be able to get a quick go in a scenario or something. The art book and graphic novel are in some bloody case there as well so I don't think I can get a look at that.

Hoping I get to say Hi to Paul and try and convince him to come back to his and my hometown :D. Also the German community manager guy mentioned t shirts and freebies at the stand. So hopefully i'll have some pics to put up when I get back to Chii's on Sunday night.
 
Yay! I can't wait to play the open beta this weekend <3 My beta character is going to be one of those slut dark elves. I shall name her Skanki and only equip armor that shows my goodies.


But for reals... can't wait for the real game to come out so I can play lion-kitties! :D


*squeel*
 
Closed beta characters were wiped so I had to start over with preview weekend. I'm leveling a Shadow Warrior again because bows rule, and I'm on Barak varr once again as well. Anaeran is the name as always if anyone's playin there.

I plan to toy around with a Zealot on the destruction side as well.
 
This game is addicting :\ Dammit, makes me not really want to play since I'll lose this character anyways. Witch Elves are awesome.... :D Skanki lives!!!!
 
Witch Hunters are freakin' awesome.

That is all.
 
I had a lot of fun playing an Ironbreaker for a good portion of preview weekend...

..he's the Ballzz!!


Smokin' his victory pipe:

Tanks are overpowered.
 
Witch Hunter looks like fun, been keeping my eye on that one.

Most of my buddies from AOC and WoW are going to Tyrion if that server is still around by release. Sept. 16th, see you all there =]
