This is why i am not going to even buy the game until at least 2 weeks have gone by and the opening volly of patches and crashes has passed.

I agree with you in theroy.

Yes WAR should have all the real elements of a real war but this is a video game. not a documentery on how the Chaos invaded Aldorf and cut the heads off babys. (and that is just for breakfast) I hate to say it but by them cutting the gore level down to PC13 they can make this game avalable to more people. If you need a game with blood, dirt, and naked chicks look at AOC. they are targeting that group of people. I like both games equily and will most likey play both of them in turn. But each one has its own feel to it. WAR is ment to be more cartoony and dark humor. While AOC is all about dirty realisum. I say take our pick.

I also didnt get one. from what i have been hearing is that not every store got the beta key and that some of them gave them out to none collecters adition preorders.

Amen  lets kill this thread

There will not be stealth in WAR.

That said, i do believe that there will be ways to be stealthy in the game. From all game footage it looks like there is no auto lock or target nearest enemy button. That means that if your hiding behind a bush and attacking with a ranged weapon you wont immediately know where your "stealthed" attacker is. Also if some one runs up behind you, you wont just auto lock some one that is attacking you, giving them time to get in that good old back-stab.

While i am not sure about this sense i have not played the game, that is what it looks like to me.

I say no to the lifetime account, It is like getting a life time worenty on a computer that you know you would have to replace in 2 years.

I think seeing a black orc charge the front lines of an dwarf army and try and take out as many as he can before he dies with no consers of death is exactly what mythic is trying to go for. The hole death penetly would cause those crazy orcs not to charge head long with no consern.

now i do agrea that PvE deaths should have a down side dura/exp/time what ever.

Ok from what i have seen of game play from their demenstrations there will be no real down side for PvP deaths to the person that died with maybe a 30 sec time respawn for their battle grounds. But to the person that killed you he will be given Exp as if you were just some mod that died acording to your level. Also you will drop random loot for your level as well. Kind of like alterac valley but better stuff.

As for PvE i agree that there should be some penelty for dieing but i dont want to have worked for 2 weeks of Exp just have it taken from me because i agroed to many mobs.

just log onto their web site its all there.

Ok, So the graphics look the same at first glance. I dont realy care. UI has a simular set up, so what i liked the WOW setup for how i controled my character. all this does not change the fact that I have played WOW, done every quest and killed every boss uncounted times. If the system works why fix it?

For me i left WOW because i could not stand sitting around waiting for my guild to get ready for 3 hours to kill a boss just so some one could have a shinny new sword. Their end game content lost me, with the options of Farm gold or Raid a boss there was no real exitment beyond the first kill. The only thing i liked at end game was when we would get together and go raid a town. Blizzards PVP system left a lot to be desired so with WAR forcusing on PVP from Lv 1 to 40 I think i will be enjoying the game more then WOWs, oh look i got one more blue to sell on AH.

Well I have played on pvp servers and seen what happends when sides get unbalanced. the side with the most people usely gets to go zerging across the country side killing a few people here and there but not much else. They may raid a city but they can never hold it for long because to many of them are not dedicated to the same goal. once they would get the enemy city most people would just leave because the under dogs know never fight the enemy head on. so with no one there to keep peoples intrest they would start leaving and look for some one to fight.

Meen while the underdog side is off some place else attacking the a target that is less defended and still has plenty of people to kill. And when the zerg shows up they scatter to strike again another day. Simply gurilla tactics.

Also as far as the Warhammer world is conserned i have alway felt it was Order that has alway been outnumbered but they aways seem to hold back the tide verse the Choas.

Now more then before i want to play a high elf Archmage. GO underdogs 

So far i have been wanting to play a green skin, mostly for the ability to yell out WAAARRRGG!!!!!! every time i go into battle but now that the archmage for high elfs is out i am not so sure any more. Being able to play as a healer class that also is a nuker just sounds like fun. Also have to stick with my high elf army i run to.
