You are missing the point. The OP is correct. I have played a healer in every other MMORPG and played one very successfully. I have given up on my AM as the healing mechanics in this game stink. I enjoy the challenge of keeping multiple targets up while doing a little damage but WAR just doesn't handle AM's well.

 

NO that was my point Decker, WAR isn't every MMO as well as its classes aren't.  An Archmage is not a pure healer, as it's a hybrid class (magic/heal) much like my disciple is (melee/heal).  Don't just because you can do it, means you should have access to 100% of the abilities of say what a pure healer (Zealot or Shaman) would have.

I don't expect to be the best healer because of my class, even though I can heal.  Soon enough though, through masteries and ranks I will have a few group heals which will help.  Overall though, I know my class and my role and I expect this.

You as well as the OP need to understand the importance of knowing your class, its strengths, weaknesses and overall purpose on the battlefield.

Who said I was'nt good at playing a healer ? IMO its broken simple as that more group Buffs and heals are needed especially with the Imbalance between Destruction and Order , you know we are not all fans of frantic button bashing just to do something that should be there in the fisrt place .... but your obviously perfect so I'll leave it there ...
 

The system is not broken and it works as intended.  Just because the class you choose doesn't play as every other MMO in existance doesn't mean its wrong.  In fact it makes you think alot more about your choices, and you plan better.  On many occasions as a Disciple (not a true healer) I have to choose who I feel I can save and who will meet their maker.

It makes you think first.... I like that.

Your having fun in WAR... yet your bored?  Why not play both since it may be hard to keep someone who finds fun boring... happy?

a lesson to be learned...NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE.

If you have your home computer set to automatically log you in or remember site passwords (like mine is) then sharing a password wasn't the issue as it was already put in place.  I feel for you as I too have a sibling who did something similar in a game I was playing and have yet to recover from his slander.

I suggest a severe flogging followed up by the deletion of his WoW account as punishment.

Ultima Online. 

Best overall for housing I have seen next to SWG.  Non instanced and you can actually change house wall looks, floor looks, etc.  Literally the whole house is customizable.

Whoops... my bad.  I should have turned on XFire this week while I was playing.  Sorry about that... it'll come up shortly.

Agree with the OP. I found this out during the BETA and was sorry I had pre-ordered it. I still picked it up for the first free month but did not continue playing past the first week.

Next step, Stargate Worlds. Please do not disappoint the same way WAR and AoC have done.

Don't worry it will.

1. they should of never messed introduced trammel

3. a lot of the newer content was geared for a more casual crowd

4. they ruined what i though was going to remain a perfect game forever.

1) AGREE

2) AGREE

3) I resent that being a casual, UO had enough content for appease all sides.

4) AGREE

I can never go back mainly because of the first two.... ultimately making UO what number 4 was.

Wow.... something that completely makes no sense in respects to lore, much like clan PvP altogether.... nice way to completely kill alll credibility of your game by trying to be something you weren't designed to be. 

TR you absolutely had me at the beginning, but now your just grabbing straws.

Well they already stole/adapted from Warhammer (tabletop) many many years ago, now they are just going in for the kill and going to copy it all now (WAR:Online).

No tinfoil hat, they want it all and are willing to do what it takes to capture and hold onto the entire market.

funny how they are discussing about extra content when the game is so full of bugs and imperfections... and the warhammeralliance forum does not even allow posting about them... they should be looking at fixing the rushed unfinished buggy release first before even thinking about adding more content...

Maybe I am one of the lucky few but I have yet to see anything I would consider a bug.  Imperfections... well not sure what your refering to but nothing in this life i perfect, nor game or person.  Get used to it.

Mythic is the only developer I have seen that actually seems to have a solid passion for the product they've released, not to mention are working hard to "perfect" as we go along.  Not to mention that each patch or fix made doesn't destroy half the game in the process.

I like where WAR is going and I think they will be one I will support so long as they continue to support us players.

P.S. Warhammer Alliance isn't a bug-tracking site... if you have issues use the ticket system in game.  That's why they implemented it... you know a central place for all issues to funnel?

Excellent....that was funny.

ONe thing Ive seen is that WAR players seem a bit more accomidating than...AoC or even WoW players thus far.

Sure cause most WAR players came looking for gameplay, an interesting and well known IP, working PvP.... not tits, ass, and blood.

Disciple of Khaine

I enjoy this class as well not because of its balance but because of the lore behind them.  I enjoy making sacrifices to the Lord of Murder..... Just overall the most appealing class to me out of all.

I've had that issue a couple of times as well.

I will still be playing WAR by Christmas, question is will you still be playing AoC?  If you don't see yourself there down the road, come to WAR and give it a shot.

Correct me if I'm wrong but how come, aesthetically, WoW (aka World of Warcraft) looks a lot like WAR (aka Warhammer Online)? I mean, look at the orcs; they wield huge axes, wear big ass armor, and have green skin like their WAR counterparts. Even the humans in WoW would blend in easily with their WAR counterparts. The only difference would probably be in how the colors in WoW seem brighter and dandier. Other than that, everything else looks kinda similar. Why is that?

They would not blend or mesh well at all.  Period.  If you truel feel that way I know an eye doctor to whom you can call for an immediate check-up.  The two games have distinctly different looks and art style, and if you were to look long and hard enough you would plainly see the differences.

Wow if this wasn't the largest exageration I've heard in a long time.

Looks like the AFS is coming back to Earth.  Sounds good and I truely hope for the best in TR.

Most likely a rant of some form, then realized it wasn't either valid or would have come across trollish.
