meh, sad to see posters who say something like "GW pvp is about luck" "GW pvp is smashing bottons" .... get into the pvp before u speak.

do u think its for fun that a guild can stay on the first place of a world rank ladder for month's,  with the best win/lose ratio? Without having super gear like no other have... but they have simular gear to everyone els.... ? i guess they are good at smashing bottons and pretty lucky ey ? lol...

GW PvP its one of the most complex and dinamic out there altought it is statical (Totaly skill-based) it requires an huge amount of teamplay and game IQ to be really good at it.. And as you can create a character at max lvl anytime you wont get killed by some 1337 idiot with his 1337 Suber Uber Grinded Set..) Altough this is just my opinion dont just say PvP is luck based.. It's an insult to the game..


And TimberHick i dont think anyone cares about what you do or dont do

Nerdkill, seriously, chill out.  No one has been unreasonably rude with you, yet you're getting more and more aggitated.  Try reading the posts without the chip on your shoulder.

But anyway, as said, other than that one time at E3 '06, there has been no other mention of bringing WAR to the consoles.

And thank god!  If they develop this game with consoles in mind, I'm going to have to throat-punch someone.  I am so tired of "console-itis" ruining perfectly good PC games.  Oblivion?  Did anyone like that bloody interface?

I take it back.  I would accept a console port ONLY if there was no gamepad support.  XBox users want to play an MMO?  Plug in a keyboard and mouse.

I'm sure there will be girls that play Orcs and Goblins, but if they don't want to, then they'll have plenty of other choices, and I don't think it'll hurt the Orc and Goblin population at all.

I bought the game for LORE and im staying to see the story continue. Im NOT buying a game i NEVER heard of."

That's a quote from the WoW boards and it pretty much states my opinion upon WoW fanboys. Ignorant and consumed... :/

thanks

Rumor has it that some people are getting really worried that they haven't heard nothing bad about the game.  No game is perfect including this one.

Alot of you are saying things about "phone bills" etc. That would be true, if your phone did not have say, bluetooth, or if you did not have unlimited internet access with your service provider.

I have a cell phone, which I use to go on the internet, to check email, browse the net, etc. I also have a plan that includes unlimited internet browsing. $5 a month, and I can go on the internet as often as I need. If my phone were blutooth, I could even use it with a PC that is configured with bluetooth, to browse the internet on that as well, but thats not really practical. But then again, if you did have bluetooth on your cellphone, and your computer, or maybe even network capability with your cell, you could have unlimited access.

I don't know anything about this game, but you are saying that you would get a huge phone bill. I just thought I'd point that out for you, that alot of people actually have the ability to have unlimited access to the internet, using their cellphone.

What  am I expecting from WAR?

Hmmmm.....pretty much that it won't be released until the end of Q4 or more likely early 2008 so all this speculation right now is just a bunch of nonsense. All this forum seems to be is uneducated, uninformed speculation. Funny to read for a while, but tiresome.

Hi just want to hear your oppinions, what you old MMO-Gamers like myself think about WAR and another level sytem MMOG.

My experiance starts back in -95/-96 when UO and Asheron's Call was released. 2 complete diffrent games but both MMOG's, AC with plenty of levels to grind and diden't take long till there were macro bots and all stuff out there to help you gain these 126 levels that first came with release. now with new expansion there are 275!  about the same with Anarchy online

and UO that has no levels but you got better by picking professions skills. the more you hitted the higher skill... etc.  And you could also re-spec to other skills by reverse the skill training.

i've played and beta tested like 15-16 MMOG's in my career and i must say i'm sick of leveling system, its just a long boring grind from start to end.

But i have faith in WAR and i hope it will give me loads of fun, and even if it has a level system i hope you won't take that much of focus from the rest of the game. Been waiting for a Warhammer MMOG since when i started play MMO's and Warhammer Tabletop.

Now even if EA are involved i don't think they got much to say about it. you don't mess with Gamesworkshop

/Regard and have faith onto mythic and GW

Well, it stands to reason that improving your skill (or virtual skill) at anything requires plenty of practise - and that's usually a grind of sorts. But I do know what you mean here - I started on UO myself back in the day, and there were some grind sessions that weren't enjoyable (often boring), but were a necessary evil to improve your character - mining is a great example of that. killing the same mobs over and over again to grind xp could become boring as well - EQ seemed to be adept at that, but it was a newish concept back then, so I didn't mind it as much for the first year... lol

As long as the grind is FUN, it won't seem like a grind. As Mythic continually reminds itself - "FUN you fu**ers!", i have great hopes that they'll manage to pull that one off. And since you can improve your character by fighting other players, that's certainly going to go some way to alleviate the boredom in grinding. In my experience, only WoW has come close to making PvP seem like just another grind - but I think that's because the battlegrounds weren't varied enough, and that they held no greater purpose other than to acquire better equipment. From what I see, WAR RvR and PvP seems to have an overall purpose and objective where your actions actually make a difference to everyone's game - and I really like the idea of that, because it won't seem as much of a grind then (hopefully).

The concepts of WAR RvR and Public Quests and all the rest seems like the breath of fresh air that a lot of people have been waiting for. Like you, I have a lot of faith in Mythic because of their enthusiasm for the game and world I know from the old tabletop days.

Here's hoping that the inevitable grind to the upper echelons of battle mastery will be a long and FUN one.

The reason there is no stealth is because it just does`nt fit with WARHAMMER lore.From what i can remember about TT is there are no true stealth(total invis)classes.You have certain infantry that can camorflage ,you no blend in with surroundings but NO total stealth.

WAR IS COMING....

I remember hearing in an interview, one of the devs saying that you would actually be able to take over the enemies capital city.

it was said after aquiring a certain number of  points, you could eventually assault the captial city. The idea of actually being able to take over towns, and castles is pretty awesome. But they never mentioned if you would be able to keep them, or if your factions NPCS would spawn there. I hope they don't do something stupid and eventually make them revert back to whoever's faction owned it in the first place. if a town gets captured, they should make it so you have to go back and try to retake it. And they should do the same with a capital city. Of course the question of how to balance this out always comes into play.

 

So how do you think they are going to make this work?
