True story! White Lions will kill the mother and capture the cub to raise as his own. (I doubt you will do this in game, rather just given a white lion cub at rank 1). The white lion's lion becomes more than a pet because of this, more like an ally/best friend. Creates a cool concept compared to the "find a pet, tame it" bore. I'm all for it.

The game looks amazing. The combat is faster than it was a few months ago and looks extremely entertaining. I am very excited. Thank you the sweet vids.

When does the newsletter come out next week? Finally, I've waited so long! Will the blackguard/KoTBS be given new information? Anyone know?

Armor dye done wrong would ruin a game for me. Bright, neon colors in a dark, mainly overcast world of evil blah blah blah you get the point. While I understand there are bits and pieces of some shades of pink.. black orcs or chosen in full on neon pink gear is definitely not part of it. It would ruin the game, making it cartoonish. And unfortunately, I have seen a video of a Chosen with a neon pink helmet with a bring green armor set. Yuck.

Find me a chosen figurine from the tabletop game in neon pink, or any character for that matter, and I'll put my foot in my mouth.

Reasons why this game will flop: Linear exploring - no open areas, walk on paths everywhere. Impossible combo execution for a "clicker" player, when expected to run/aim/shoot/shield/etc. at the same time. Lack of PvP importance (Capture the flag? Really?). The graphics are pretty, but how far will that carry the game? Not to many people can afford the type of machine needed to run AoC on max.

 

From what I've seen, the game appears to become repetative and dull. But hey, I'll probably still give it a shot after the first few reviews come out for shits and giggles.

Too funny mate too funny...

 

You basing your reasons off the PVP minor area weekend??

You're assuming that is where I got the information. Wrong. While I did participate, I've read reviews on other sites where the author was disappointed.

Linear noob island start to the game. Obviously its not as open, its a small island.

Again, I'm not an idiot. I did not base anything I said on the starting area.

Whats impossible in combos when clicking on them instead on button pushing?

This doesn't make sense. There are two types of mmo players, clickers who use the mouse to activate abilities, and mashers who use the hotkeys. Two very different types, and if you are a clicker, AoC is frustrating.

PvP importance in a mini game?? doesnt really have any, apart from rank and 1 v 1 or group epeen status. Oh and the fun element too. Try  going to the Border Kingdoms :)

I don't see the point in fighting each other without a reward. Does capture the flag even fit into the lore...?

You know there are people playing on $400 machines having fun?

I haven't heard that. Where'd you get that from?

Misinformed and completely wrong but its ok.

Lol fanboi.

I would be more worried about the state of your other favourite game then looking for arguments here that are poorly executed..

I made fair points that have been agreed upon by not only weekend players but beta testers as well.

Do you think Jeff and Paul will reveal the final class at this years NY comic con? They tend to make the largest announcements at large press events, and in order to get quality testing, the final career should be implemented in beta. Any ideas?

No it's ok, people see an organized, neat UI and a character running around and they assume it's WoW's gameplay. Let em go; not worth the effort.

Agreed.

He isn't doing anything wrong. He bought the Collectors Edition (must have got a couple) for the key's, and probably thought he could turn a quick dollar. It isn't illegal, or rule breaking. Think of it as a "partial Collectors Item". At 60$ I can't see him selling many of those anyway.  

Spend your time worrying about important things. You know, the war, the economy, presidential elections... not scoping eBay for 'potential' rule breakers.

Hardcore players choose Destruction while kids, noobs, zergers play Order. To put it straightforward. 

I consider myself "hardcore" and I always play the good guys.

Anyway, I'm going with a Dwarf Engineer (short, stubby, covered in grenades. He's a walking bomb) followed by a Warrior Priest/Witch Hunter/Shadow Warrior alt.

Enough. If anyone can logically present a new argument of the similarities of WoW and WAR other than "hey, the graphics from the few BETA screenshots I've seen are kind of like WoWs. THEY MUST BE IDENTICAL GAMES!"

 

....

 

Otherwise, kill this thread. Now.

 

 

Yeah, noone is arguing that, and you are arguing nothing. And it should also be pointed out that posting in a thread suggesting that it should be killed in fact keeps it alive. if you don't like a thread ignore it, and it will go away, otherwise you end up looking like a douche.

My head hurts.

I don't know who said it but Twitch and FPS are very different.

Twitch is used for mostly space flying games. It lets you take control of the space craft and fly it around rather than point/click (think Eve). These set up controls are very different than the FPS genre controls (over the shoulder or actual 1st person). Think about it. How similar is Call of Duty 4 and a game like Vendetta Online (which uses twitch i believe?)

Carry on.

This link will take you to a White Lion only forum. Talks about speculation about the class, what weapons it will use, how it will look and how you might be able to make your lion more custom.

The people who think the White Lion won't have a lion... Common. 99% chance it is the white lion as the last class and a 95% chance he has a lion as a pet (more like a companion/best friend).

Also, in reply to another post: Couldn't the pet class also be dragon princes with their dragons? there are so many careers in Warhammer.

I think I'm more excited about the expansion possibilities.

I don't know if anyone else has done this, but I went into Gamestop and they pre-ordered me the Standard game when I wanted the CE. Has anyone had any experience trying to change a pre-order? Can can it be done online or over the phone?

ToK - Tomb of Knowledge

Basically, it is a giant book that keeps track of pretty much everything you do and rewards you as you go. It keeps tabs on the amount of NPC's you kill, other players you kill, creatures you kill, places you explore and have been, etc. and can unlock items, upgrades, and titles because of this. For example, if you die 100,000 times you get a really embarrassing title (you can turn titles off) or kill a bunch of dwarves you become "dwarf killer" and maybe get an item that allows you to do more damage against dwarves.

Looks like White Lion it is! I'm not sure if this has been shown yet, or how official you can call this, but I found this paragraph from the Warhammer website about the cinematic trailer.

"As you can see from the storyboards, we took another crack at the action, this time featuring a Dark Elf Sorceress (female character, check! Magic, check!) and High Elf White Lion (Cool warrior class, check!). All looked pretty good, except we went a bit too far by giving the White Lion a cool new ability – the Lion’s Roar - that we could not guarantee would be in the game (or guarantee Games Workshop would approve) So we scratched that battle and finally settled on the Witch Elf vs. Mage pairing." - warhammeronline.com

It said the ability "Lions Roar", isn't guaranteed to be in game, not the White Lion class *if I'm reading it right).

Here is the link so you can check it yourself. :

www.canyourunit.com

Go to this site, it checks your computer compared to the released specs and lets you know how well the game will be run, and where you can upgrade your unit to make it work better.

While it is refreshing to find a preview that isn't sucking up to WAR, the forced parallels between Warhammer and WoW ruined the article. It felt like he was going to compare WAR and WoW from the start, and most likely a WoW player himself (10 mil subscribers? Good chance), lead to a biased read.

I'm just grabbing at straws, but point made.

Are you in beta and don't care about the NDA or are you just guessing because I haven't heard ANYTHING about that (and I try to stay educated on the state of the game)?
