Have been playing a Sorc/Cleric duo with my wifey for the past few days and i have been loving the game! I played DAoC since release (ran high end 8v8 as rr11 pac healer), a bit of WoW, and WAR (rr70 bw), and i must say, this game has been a great mix so far. Just the smooth , unique, new-style (aka asian) graphics and combat styles/graphics, fun environment/questlines.... I dont know, my wife and i have just been taking it nice and slow , just enjoying everything from the amazing character customization (she spent 20min with her character lol), to the fun emotes/environment.

And the flying is amazing. It just has such a good, fluid feel to it.

Anyways, here is a short clip i uploaded, no sound, that sort of "captures" the whole feeling i am trying to describe. (frapsd this to show a bud of mine the flight). Anyways, just thought i would share.

P.S. We havent waited in a single server Que... We decided to start fresh and let our old PvP community go, and start anew. <shrug>

See everyone in game!

I am sorry but i have no sympathy here.

Witch Elves ARE universal. That is why some of the best destro 8 mans run 1-2 WEs in their tank train. Because the DPS and utility is amazing, and with a healer, they ARE NOT squishy.

Im sorry, but i have to agree with the others. You cant base your opinions off of a handful of experiences in t1.

If you wanted to do the same, take our 3 man that we built for t1... Shadowwarrior, Archmage and Brightwizard... we were kite/extending and killing 2fg+ in the t1 ORvR... without the shadowwarrior, this would have been impossible (AE root/snare shots).

You will find that ANY t1 tank can dish out dmg and take alot of hits , and the blackorc has a proc that will heal himself (technically wounds increase, but essentially it is a heal).

As to running backwards, YOU CAN STRAFE AND STILL SHOOT AT TARGETS BEHIND YOU! I am assuming you just havent figured this out yet (still t1), but there is no excuse for you getting caught by a melee class.

You know after reading this post i feel bad for mythic. There are HORDES of these types of players that come, play til maybe lvl 30 tops, then write this kind of feedback, whine on the boards, etc etc without ever really knowing what they are takling about.

Mythic you have my pity...

"Worth Playing?"

YES! WAR is excellent.  I have been playing MMOs for the past 6 -8 years, and this game still has me hooked.

I would suggest avoiding the whiners, and dont try to grind yourself to 40 or you will go mad in the process :D

The more WoW players that go home the better...

Way to be terrible at guessing=)

lol, i can tell the original Poster is a WoW player. Not adding additional levels? wow.

Take a look at Dark Age of Camelot. The level cap has always been 50. Yet they have added enough content to keep people addicted for 6 years. Added content does not need to come in the form of additional levels (which is in my opinion the absolute worst. seriously, i get so angry just thinking about it).  Examples of "extra levels" in DAoC were Realm Abilities, Master Levels, Champion Levels, etc. Things that enhanced your character and caused you to strive for something, yet did not force you to continue to level beyond 50. It added various layers to the game, and made things alot of fun. Having been someone who was rr11, i was always still "striving" towards rr12. Now ifyou look at how many realm points it took for realm rank 11, i could have gotten 11 other characters to rr6 if i wanted to. or 22 characters to realm rank 5.

I think your views of "end game content" are simply skewed because of WoW. I suppose mine are as well. Personally, i heavily favor the DAoC approach. added abilities (NOT FREAKING RvR gear) for realm points (renown points), and then added epic loot that gives simply various forms of utility, rather than making the old gear obsolete.

1) No, you can put your weapon on your back... whether a caster, or a fighter class, staves, swords, shields, etc can be placed on your back when out of combat

2) Im not sure what you are getting at. The combat system is a time-delay system. not your "revolutionary" system, however, every class has some interesting aspect to it. ex. My archmage's healing abilities increase the more damage spells i do, and vice versa. Thus i open fights by doing my insta damage attacks, so that i have a big heal that i can cast instantly, that normally was 3 seconds to cast.

3) As of right now, the death penalty is  minimal. In RvR scenarios, there is no penalty... simply release and get back out to the fight! In the world, you lose constitution (hp points) that you can then buy back from a healer (super cheap... im talking, non-factor cheap). Its not about punishing your players , they want us to get into the fights and not be afraid to get where the action is!

4) Oi ! Youz git smash dem Stuntiez! Yea, the "lore" behind Warhammer is pretty nice, and with the Tome of Knowledge, you have the opportunity to really get into it. (the Tome is chuck full of lore about lands, races, places, events, etc).  As to sounding like an idiot, you dont have to worry about it. I mean, what posistion is a roleplayer in to make fun of someone else for sounding stupid...

But yes, as a last little note... I LOVE this game. I played DAoC for 6 years, and this game is amazing to me. I love the various aspects that have been put into it, and i think it will only get better.  (Yes, i like the WoW style graphics... Yes, i like the WoW style movements... Yes i like the WoW style questing... Yes, i like the WoW style UI... Yes, i like the RvR aspect... Yes, you should play about lvl 10 before making assumptions about the game you dirty dirty trolls!)

Love the game so far. Sad to leave DAoC, but way excited for WAR. Open Beta was great.

Well, i must say, after the initial release, i am quite disappointed in Age of Conan. It was soooo promising, and yet it has not delivered on those promises.

At least we have Dark Age of Camelot Origins to look forward to before WAR.

(If you dont know what that is, they are bringing back Old Frontiers on a new server ruleset. http://www.camelotherald.com/polls/ )

I hope Funcom decides to get down to it and fix this game.

I cant wait for WAR to come out and all of these posters come flocking to the ranks.  WAR is DAoC2 and DAoC is <3.

If you havent tried already, i suggest posting on the VN boards. Much more activity, and you will have a greater chance at success! Hope everything goes well for ya!

"As you run around in any RvR area you will get the odd "load lag" when an enemy comes into your load bubble, which is larger than your clip range. "

aka : "Feel" 

lol. DAoC <3

All i got from that was ::: WARHAMMER ALLIANCE FORUMS GET REPLIES FROM MYTHIC EMPLOYEES::::

High Elf Archmage for the win...

(The Swordmaster animations look AMAZING)

I wonder if the new expansion will up the PvP? After seeing some of the content changes, it didnt seem like anything that we are looking for with PvP... 

All in good time.

Have asked this some other places, thought i would ask here as well...

Im not sure if this has already been discussed, answered, etc, however i thought i would bring it up.

Would it be possible (Lore considered) to have Race VS Race servers? (Or i suppose it would be Race vs Race vs Race vs Race etc). Each race only being allied with those of their own race (ex. Humans only group with Humans, Chaos with Chaos, etc). Of course there are the racial pairings set up, but groups of one race could travel to other racial pairings/lands.

As all the Races have a class in each archtype, i was thinking of how amazing it would be to run around in hordes of all Green Skins, or squads of Dwarves, etc.  

But yes, would this be possible? Thoughts?

because they look so garsh darn like the same person... i say to them , "you want ice cream cone?" both of them say yes....

Good job on putting the video together, but did you really have to "fo-jack" my Mohican music? 

I really wish Blizzard would have focused the PvP  around the "open world". They had such a wonderful "landscape" set up for world PvP. However, like most people, they never implemented anything that gave much incentive to PvP in the open world.
