ON Januari 29th is the date that something special is about to come to Warhammer from the Devs! So what do you think will happen on the 29th of January??

Will they fix the game or will it fall deeper into the "dark flop ground"`?

New Capital citys or what will happen?

What's the point of adding new classes if they're just as boring as all of the rest.  What's the point of adding more captiol cities when they won't have an effect on the fundamentally boring and flawed gameplay that is WAR.

They would have to add and improve PvE play dramatically to even start to move onto the right track.  They would have to make all of their classes more engaging, fun and with a much wider range in skills (There should be a lot of skills that aren't only damage, healing and crowd control) which are currently two dimensional and boring.  They would need to triple the size of the world, allow for under water exploration and add points of interests that aren't just hubs for quests.

There are just too many fundamental flaws in the game to ever get me to come back unless they made truly radical changes.  So, in essence, 3.  None of the Above

Here's hoping for both, eh?

New classes, some new PvP ideas implemented and a good amount of new PvE content. 

i think this is when they will release the career combat rehaul, that they had talked about on the test forums when 1.1 released.

I can't imagin they would come out with more new classes so soon after  they just released the last 2. Classes take time to develop and balance and I don't see them having the time  to do that just yet.

I thought I also read somewhere they weren't too sure about adding more capital cities since it would spread everyone out more and they didn't want that. - So if I am remembering correctly and if it's true, I don't think it would be more cities.

I honestly don't have any idea what they could be adding/announcing, but would guess maybe new content/dungeons. I haven't been subbed to it for a few months.

Whatever it is, it's cool to see them  updating/fixing so much stuff constantly , unlike other games who update a couple times a year and only add stuff in xpacks.

Mythic devs, "We give up and can please ya all, servers closed!"  ROFL

They should go back and make WAR more like DAoC and then I'd consider coming back but as it stands it eh at best.  Though it would be nice if it were another 2 cities, I'd love to the Dark Elves city!

Agreed

Slayers announcement obviously.. if Mythic doesn't release at least that class, there's gonna be some pissed off people after the haircut clippers and dye nonsense, lol. And if they introduce Slayer, that means the other Destro class with it for fairness, to give Destro lovers something else to roll.

I guess they'd be fools not to bring in Slayers for people to play around with until they got the endgame crashing fixed and all the bad coding.

They haven't hinted about new cities with any press kits or Lego building models to people so I'm not so sure they are bringing those in. I wouldn't look for those this time around, maybe a "coming soon" thing.

Did they fix the contribution system code yet? They said on the Youtube video it was some egghead's fault and said they would fix it "real soon" because now they know what happened. That should be a priority before classes along with all the other broken stuff.

The 29th is the day he's going to give the announcement that gives the broad spectrum of what they are going to do for the next 6 months or so and lots of information etc etc.

Far as I am aware it is *not* a patch or anything on the 29th itself, just the announcement.

That said, clearly the classes are up first, the cities is a highly secondary or further down the line concern imo.

Slayer and Choppa announcement.

Plans to add back in the cities.

New mounts.

Combat and career changes.

As was said this is just an announcement for what is planned over the next six month or so with an outline.

 New class i believe, my fravourite CHOPPA!!!

But like the 2nd poster said, they really need to add more new content to the pv aspect of it, and also the "end-game" need to be more meaningful. Else some players will come back for awhile and leave again.

 EDIT: They need to fix up the ctd, stuttering, lag etc.... issues soon also..

I dont feel the games a flop, seems quiet a few are enjoying it. That being said, I am sure we will see two new classes, I hope they dont add new zones. Maybe a dungeon or two would be nice, but other than that I would like to see in Order :)

1. Server Stability increase

2. Keep, and fortress rewards increases, more incentive to hold one.

3. Class balance.

Theres more but, I would take that over anything at this point, especially the first one.

as much as i would love to see them putting in the new cities and opening up the game more for city sieges to take place , that was more quest , more armor, / weapons, and fixs to the game take place,

it just wont happen till maybe later this year , so most likely it will be something lame, that no one will care about .

new classes  = bs . why dont they fix the problems that are currently plaguing the game already instead of addin more crap to it.

because mythic likes to beleive its own hype

So who says they cant be doing new classes AND fixes ?  lets not assume until we know all the facts.  But if we are to assume, I would say classes are just one part of what they have planned.  Maybe the most gmamorous part and the one that will generate the most internet buzz.

I agree.  It might be wise to see what they say before making kneejerk denouncements, or giving them undue praise.

In addition to the things stated above, I think they will also be touching on the proposed changes to oRvR and how captures work.

Every single game that has ever added new classes to their game could have fixed more bugs in their game instead. You know what the problem is though? The items team doesn't work on class balance. The Tech Team doesn't work on items. The Art Team doesn't work on coding. Each team has a different job which allows companies to do multiple things. There will be bug fixes, and there will be new classes. The attitude of a company only being able to do one task at a time despite having multiple teams is laughable at best.

hopefully they will announce the rest of the game ... you know instead of just a giant epeen waving frag fest. like some good PVE content, good crafting content ... maybe making the characters semi unique, maybe making mastery paths actually worth a damn. give people a reason to actually group up and do PQs.

you know stuff that makes an MMO an actual MMO instead of a giant fragfest.

thats true
 

Well the 1st thing they added as a special event was a new scenario...

I am guessing that they still dont except what player's dont want and add yet more scenario's...there's your big new's.

The only big news this game could make is that 31+ there is no scenario's and it is open rvr only...other than that,there is no news.

Oh and just for the record neither the "additional" classes or the "additional" cities are actually "new" content. Its stuff that Mythic left out because they failed to complete the game on time. People keep forgetting that they are paying to beta test a majorly unfinished product. Its nearly half a year after release and the WAR fans think that the sun shines out of Mythics behind simply because they "might" add the missing content which should have been there in the first place.

The Slayer was NEVER, ever in Beta for us to test. It is completely new, not something they forget. We did get to test the Hammerer but it wasn't all that fun hence the cut of it. Don't speak of things in which you do not know.

thank you.  It is getting old how many times WAR haters spread lies and misinformation on the game.  It is time to give it a rest.

So they changed the class. The fact remains that the full complete game was supposed to have 6 races with 4 classes for each race.......so its still a misconception that Mythic are being generous to its players by giving them these "bonus" classes. They are simply going through the process of finsihing their incomplete product which its players are paying for.

You see a meal advertsied at McWarhammer cafe which offers sausage, eggs, bacon and chips. You ask to buy the meal and the cafe owner tells you beforehand that you can only have the eggs and the chips. The sausage and bacon will be given to you at some undisclosed time in the future after you have paid for the meal. The money will go to paying the wages for the guy who cooks the sausage and bacon. You dont really like this but its all the rage lately and everyone just accepts it. As your really hungry and there are no other cafes for miles around you accept and hand over the cash.

You take the half-meal away and munch on it for a very very long time. An hour goes by as you munch on your egg and chips (you're a VERY slow eater). They taste ok actually. Hmmm am I eating the full meal or did I pay for half a meal? I cant remember. Oh well I'll just carry on munching.

The cafe owner has a very special announcement to make. You look up with a feeling of excitement. What could it be? He tells you that he will soon be able to serve you a delicious sausage! What a pleasant surprise eh! That cafe owner is such a nice guy! Its not the same sausage that you originally ordered but thats ok.....because this "bonus" sausage looks great.

You vaguely remember ordering bacon too but you're not bothered about that anymore.....not after the brilliant news about the sausage. He just mumbles something about the bacon coming at some time later.....but thats ok because the sausage is on its way. Oh geez that cafe owner....what a nice fella

All mmorpg's are never completed at launch, tell me one mmorpg that delivered everything on day 1.

MMO's are a constant changing world (101 mmorpg).

Now if you are bitching because a company said that they promised something on release, well, the only mmorpg that came to my mind was Age of Conan and how it did'nt come with DirectX 10 capability at launch.
