compared to the destruction side which look bad ass esp orcs and goblins or whatever

maybe the dwarves are passable but the humans and high elves are hideous! the white lion class doesn't look cool at all. 

blizzard seems to have better art designs.... night elves look fuckin tite

no i dont play wow

for a game that focuses on fighting each other...  you'd think they try to innovate with a spellborn or aoc type combat....

at the very least let us block in real time, thats all im askin

I wonder how hard it is to create a system where players can scale their own risk/reward setting. If you crank the setting on your character as Fanatic you are set back a great deal if you die ( longer respawn, item degradation, stat debuff and exp loss), If you tone yourself to Cautious, you have the current setting of WAR as a penalty.

Rewards for Fanatic would be an increased loot table roll and influence/ reknown bonuses for RvR kills, (to a lesser extent for healers).

Is that possible for todays games?

Would you play WAR if they had such a system?

 

Brilliant!  Good out of the box thinking.  The more risk you take, the more bonus you get.

this is the best idea ive ever heard and should be implemented asap!

woudln't it be more logical and tatical to switch it around???

pve should have no penalties i mean who cares.. its computers

pvp should have that 10 minute thing.. that would really work well

somebody in the warhammer camp tell them my great idea

op is right

this fuckin sucks ass... almost everything was perfect about this game then this shit appears

I don't know what the OP is getting at. Have you ever played dnd? A tabletop? Everything is stats and number based.

Please go get some sweeping headshots in Halo.

actually im new to the genre, mostly a console gamer

but i do know about rts games....

so the strategy is like a rts game if i can use this analogy,  2 grunts going at it in warcraft 3, usually whoever hits first is gonna win... theres no strat there

but in an army u chose who to go after, who falls back, healing ect...

so the strat in this game is alike a giant rts game?

one more thing, i dont mind that its not as player skill base as say zelda or god of war, but for the love of god why couldn't they thow in a block, it would add tons to this game.  im sure it wouldn't blow up the servers if they did that...

meaning is it one of those point and click mmos that people hate so much?

if it is.... can someone tell me how actual player skill is involved when fighting

is there more to the tactics then just clicking on the enemy???

and can u manually dodge block parry attacks and arrows??

thanks

how do u communicate in war? chat or microphone..

like if u join a public group can just talk with all of them through voice? or is everything chat unless u use teamspeak or some thirdparty crap

wow thanks

i dont know to much about the warhammer universe but on the games workshop site they had some cool races that aint in the game..

like wood elves and vampire counts...

maybe in an expansion???

looky here squall, for u to say counter strike is not skill base then u must be retarded or delusional and all the game tournments out there are wrong and its all luck.. idiot

and mmo's want to play like console game meaning: hit u get knocked backed combo, evade blocking... like zelda and the like but its a lag issue..

i guess im not talkin too much about skill more about defending.

im not a big fan of taking turns hiting till one dies..... like most mmo's

so the skill in this game is basically stoping someons animation with a spell.... and u only have 8 at a time, and can't change during battle?  how the hell u suppose to know what to choose if u dont know what they got?

i can understand how 2 range fighters can use some kinda skill... what about the melee classes if they went toe to toe? how is skill invloved in that?

im not trolling im just getting info, and genuwinely dissapointed is all....

the chronicles of spellborn... now thats some skills!

i agree and have blieved for sometime, those dam things are hideous, absolutely stupid character design... they look like monsters u kill

look i bought the game, i might reinstall it... im just bitter that the devs compared the reflex skills to be the same as counter strike, which is a dam lie.... i call fraud!!

maybe guildwars 2 will change that... but then again diablo 3 will probably be better.. theyre both free might ass well get both

and one more thing, would it hurt to impliment a real block system??? i'd like to have some options if im getting hit instead of just sitting there taking it.. the game is instanced for god sakes they should have put it in some how

i have played it and remembered clicking to kill everything

god of war ,zelda= player skills

guildwars = clicking

i like the turn base aspect of it. i like the cutesy graphics even tho its severly outdated... and the turn base is quite outdated... they should have least upgraded to like eternal sonata gameplay where u can actually block!

im not convinced, its still in essence, a point and clicker

limiting to 8 skills sucks balls....

dodging range attacks is not that much of  player skill.  i dont see how this is that competitive...  it seems whoever picks the better skills will win,

stop saying its skill base as if this is a fighting game, now thats serious skill, this is just another rpg sitting duck point and click game,

and another thing, i remember when guild wars first came out and they talked about its competitve aspect of the game, they actually compared the player skills to counter strike skills! which is rediculous.......  this isn't a skill base game people... i guess i have to keep waiting till a perfect game comes out

till a game that plays like a console game

ive seen vids and even played a little bit of it, and this game has always claim that the combat is skill base and what now.... can someobdy explain to me how is it skill base????

not only do u click to move... all u do is click on the enemy spam, powers. just like every other mmo... theres no block or evading so how the hell is it skill base???

So your going to expect to get a full party every time you log on? And some people hate to play with real players because well, most are idiotic so they like to use pre-programmed NPCs because they listen better. It's not a bad feature of the game, unless you just cant team up with other players at all, which would suck pretty hard.

if u can't find a party, then fight alone! duhhh stupid ass.

and are the npcs permanent or u just rehire and fire as many  times as u want? this system seems retarded. do u build the npcs as if they are real characters.

they could do a auto team up. like how ur forced to play with random people in rts games.

by the way fighitng deers is stupid, and no real time blocking sucks balls

no atb (active turn base) it has retarded enemy phase player phase..

and why the fuck do u need to hire npcs to fight with u... i thought the point was to team up.. this is stupid
