Just keep shoveling food at that troll, they seem to like it. 

Well, with the upcoming patch, the leveling process should be quickened quite a bit. 

- Path of the titans is a character advancment system that kicks in at level 85 and gives you 10 stages of advancement.

Kinda like Champ Levels in DAoC?

- New abiltiies for some crafters to "reforge", redistribute stats on gear, example: gear has 50agi but 0stamina, a reforger can take some of the agi points and add them as stamina.

Kinda like the Arcane Transmuter in Runes of Magic?

Watch out, those rascally guys at Blizzard are redefining the genre again!

Just be aware you can PVE or PVP your abyss points and that you can lose abyss points when you die in PVP. The higher rank you are the more you lose. You also use abyss points to purchase gear.

That's a big difference than DAOC.

But yeah it sounds like there maybe some very large fights and it sounds like there maybe some ways to bust zergs.

If that's good or bad is up to you.

Yeah, it's kinda like the BP system in DAoC except you can lose them.
 

What about the books by David Eddings and his wife Leigh?

yes its true wow does offer more option with each class but theres also so terrible imbalances in those classes which have nothing to do with how good or bad the player is . i retrurned for the lich king and after a few weeks of endgame i realised how broken warcraft pvpv  is at the moment . thats not to say it ll not be like that forever but if like me you enjoy the pvp side of the game warcraft is quite simply unplayable at the momnet . which is the reason i ve returned to warhammer for a second time . ok its maybe not got the depth of wow in lots of respects but it is far more accessable and a lot more fun than the mess wow has become . i dont ever see warhammer being any more than a niche game but its a decent niche game . of course if you prefer to do the same instance in warcraft over and over again or dp the same daily quests to get some item that will be obsolete in a year or two or head into a battleground ( or wintersgrasp if you can stand the 20 second lag )where your likely to last only a few seconds against a rogue,paladon or deathknight  then warcraft is the game for you .

i ve played wow on and off for 4 years now i ve never seen it in such a bad state pvp wise .

It's true WAR doesn't have the depth that WoW has, but if you will recall, WoW wasn't always so deep. I started playing at launch and I remember when the endgame was raiding UBRS, and PVP was if you happened to see an opposing faction member who was flagged. WAR is only a few months old, it needs time to get it's legs underneath it.
 

I have to admit though, that is one thing the game is lacking. There needs to be some kind of NF implemented with homelands that can be defended. I'm not sure how they will be able to pull it off, but it needs to be done. There also needs to be some RVR dungeons.

As it stands right now, there's no real benifit to owning keeps. Other than the guild that owns the keep geting XP. Owning Keeps in the WAR NF could give stat bonuses and such. This keep increases WS by 2%, this one increases Int by 2%, and so on. Then by capturing the other realms keeps you could increase your stats even more. So in essence bring the NF system from DAoC to WAR. That is probably the aspect of that game that I enjoyed the most.

I to played the snot out of DAoC, will probably start playing again this summer. The first thing the Devs said about WAR was they were not going to make it DAoC 2. You have to come into the game thinking it's a total new game, and notice some of the DAoC influences.

They do make some DAoC references in WAR though. If you are playing Destro and you go to the North East corner of IC, and go into the chaos portal there, you go into the "Winds of Chaos." If you keep going through the portal you will have the chance to visit Cots in the WAR engine. It's pretty neat. Also if you get the chance to play in the Black Fire Basin Scenario, you can see Cetus frozen in the middle of the map.

 

You might want to try Runes of Magic. It reminds me a lot of WoW, it has dynamic dungeons (Never the same twice), dual class system (Rogue/Scout for the win) and you can level all the crafting and gathering skill to a limit then you have to choose which to spec in. Graphics arn't half bad either and it's f2p. 

Dwarf Slayers do wear armor. See It's a small picture but the dwarf in the lower left hand corner is a slayer and he looks to be wearing studded leather armor. 

The Dwarf Slayer is all well and good, how about the Greenskin career? I hope they change the name to Berserker or something. I don't like Choppa, it's a weapon type not a career. 

They wear pants don't they? just make the stats on pants really high, with lots of talisman slots.

So just a pet summoner type character?

Well this is what I have so far, I don't have a class that is exactly like the WoW Warlock:

Zu Online- Summoner

He summons puppet creatures and casts different types of magic spells.

Requiem: Bloodymare - Dominator

Casts basic magic spells, and summons pets to increase the caster's abilities.

Archlord - Elementalist

Basic Elemental summoner (haven't really played this game much but they seem pretty gnarly)

What is your definition of a Warlock?

I can see where you're coming from, but I seem to be getting a UO vibe to be honest.

Sure, it sucks that they are pushing that patch back a few weeks, but honestly I have survived this long a few more weeks won't kill me. My main is a Magus, and he is leveling up rather quickly. Personally, I would prefer Mythic to their time and get all the variables right so as to not create more problems.

Right here, all that needs o be said, good show Abisbowa. Better get it right then screw it up and have everyone ripping your nuts off

 

And the point sails right over your head - no surprise really.

The only issues Mythic mentioned as the reason for the delay, are worries about the re-balancing to BW and Sorc DoTs.

They could and 'should' have implemented the changes to the classes I'm talking about.  MBJ specifically stated that it would be 'easier' for them to implement 'all' CC changes in a serparate 1.06 patch.  I don't care what is 'easier', I care that I'm paying the same subscription as everyone else for a gimped character, that already has deserved adjustments READY AND WAITING - do you understand this simple concept?

Pretty much what I said wasn't it? More time = more testing = proper balance = less pissed people (sans you apparently)

Go with Requiem.

This irks me, my class, the magus, is broken and lame, and yet instead of fixing the current problems, theyre going to put more classes out there and spend more time on them than actually fixing the problems with the current classes.

If you read the "State of the Game" Mark Jacobs wrote, adding more classes isn't the only thing that they are patching. My Main is a Magus as well. btw. He said that all the classes are "getting some loving" in the patch.
