Personally I am excited about the news; however, I never worry about doomsayers and haters. I think WAR is probably the best casual MMO out there.

1-You dont have to raid every night to be competitive.

2- If you want PvP  you get it.. plain and simple.

3- Class balance is almost there, but much better than ANY other MMO

I think WAR is heading on the right direction. Of course thats my opinion

DOOOOOOOOOOM!

hehehe...great job mythic!

With their usual volume of spittle, vitrol, and viral marketing for their chosen games. Best to not respond ;)

seems that mythic is attempting to listen to their customers

Sounds like good news to me. A game that has been out for less than a year already adding in 4 classes and a ton of new content. Notice how I said classes and not new classes. Either way its a push in the right direction. That ontop of all the bug/balance fixes, i'd say mythic is right on track. Shoot maybe ill come back and take a peak at the new. 

Read the VNboards, Doom haters seem to have no problem with this "big announcement" :)

Steroids aren't exactly a good thing.

This is the current mood on the VNboards:

On a sidenote, MJ says he's working on more notes right now. Apparently he had a busy morning... (and apparently no time at all the last few weeks )

you want kudos for them adding in content that was supposed ot be there at launch? /scratches head.

there are about 50 threads from launch that predicted Mythic would release the content they took out when they needed the surge, and everyone would undoubtedly claim "woot, new content"...when in reality they're just giving you the content they origniinally should have included at launch.  I predict in another couple months when morale is down they'll release two more cities and everyone left playing will look at it like it's the next WoW killer.  Feed a starving man crums, and he'll think they're the best tasting crumbs ever.

This is good news. People are funny though, people wanted the classes cut put back in, they do, they wanted a df style dungeon they re doing it, etc etc and still complaining. The game isn t perfect of course but they re doing a good job implementing things to make it more an ORVR game but still not lacking on the pve. All in all i really like how the game is coming along, when it launched i quit when the 30 days were up, but have been back a bit and generally people seem much happier in game and  are happy the direction they re taking.

What the addition of 2 more classes will add to the gameplay?
I don't think that the lack of classes is the biggest problem for WAR.
Yes nice add, but nothing really groundbreaking.
If you think about it, those 2 classes were supposed to be launched at release, so they are months late.

I don't want to be a doomsayer, I just don't see why haters should be worried about this news.

its just more of the same.  for people that are loving the game, yay, great, but for those who are hoping for real changes or revamping?  meh...

5 months he says?  ok, maybe i'll check back in 6 ..but probably not.

WoW was supposed to have Hero classes in at launch.

WoW took 4+ years and an expansion you have to PAY for to add in ONE Hero class.

WAR has already added back in a third of their "missing content" WITH in-game events FOR FREE, and this is no different.

You really need to learn to respect the company for what it does, not what you think it should've done. Yes, the content was supposed to be in at launch, but it wasn't for various reasons. Now focus on how they're putting it back in - mainly how quickly and how they're not charging seperately for it.

I think they're listening to the community, especially with some kind of endgame RvR-control influenced dungeon with Tomb Kings - RvR more important like in DAoC and another lore faction put in at the same time, two birds with one stone. The way they're going about this "expansion" is different as well. Instead of trying to cram all the content into an expansion pack and charge you $30-50 for it in June, they're adding bits of it in over the next 6 months and it's all free. Why can't other games do that?

Now, this isn't as big as other "expansion packs", that's true, and maybe when Mythic adds a whole 'nother area, they'll sell it seperately. But I think this is the best system of improving the game without leeching extra money from your playerbase.

Just my two cents on the whole thing - I think this was a good step forward and just hope Mythic can implement everything well

I don't know of any game that's destroyed their core gameplay mechanics (which is what you want them to do because you probably think WAR is boring) just to satisfy another playerbase when that game already has one (in WAR's case, the casuals). Don't act surprised.

 As Ascension mentions, WoW is the perfect example of an MMO not delivering what it promised, and succeeding regardless. WoW promised battlegrounds, honor system, sieges and hero classes. It launched without any of these, extremely thin PvE leveling content at 45+ as well as non-functioning end-game (similar to how WAR's end-game has a lot of issues). It launched with no PvP content whatsoever, and it would take a year before battlegrounds and the honor system were added, and as mentioned it took FOUR years for hero classes to make an appearance, and it was only 1, and 1 that you had to pay for.

Mark was very up-front when he announced the cuts in good time ahead of launch, and stated he couldn't promise we'd even get the careers, although he mentioned he'd like to see them make it into the game.

Mythic really delivers, and that's what matters to me. Hell I even enjoyed WoW for multiple years :)

So lets see what the future holds for Warhammer:

1/ 2 new classes, one of them being brand new (slayer was not beta tested).

2/ Darkness falls dungeon. Excellent.

3/ 3 New events. Great!

4/ Mark mentioned a first pass at keep upgrades. Nice.

5/ Mark also mentioned a redesining of the interior of keeps and especially fortresses. Sweet.

6. Mark also mentioned that there will be a patch in early February.

Everything seems pretty damn fine to me. My only problem is that the darkness falls dungeon wont be added before June and the classes I think will be added in March. I wish they could add these features sooner; we need more content urgently in t4 and I am afraid quite a few peeps may be burned out till summer. I may well be one of them, although I am a war fan and currently active player. Overall I am excited with the changes and I think they dungeon will provide a great boost to replayability and rvr.

PS: I will never understand why Mythic decided to be active and post only in the VN boards. They are by far worst boards I have ever come across. MMorpg.com is a kindergarden compared to them. The amount of whining going on is unbelievable. They claim that all these additions are nothing but fluff...? Biggest PR disaster of gaming ever? Srsly what's wrong with those people? They are just trolling Mark. I mean, Mythic's patches have been great so far, give them a break ffs.

You get that with every MMORPG. It's a good thing that Mythic will be getting their own forums though.
