I hate macs for a few reasons.

1- When you buy a mac , its a pre built system, thus you are already paying more, combined that you are also paying for the mac brand name, more money to spend on things that dont actually help your system

2- As stated above there are Direct X issues, Now combined that with the fact that im sure direct X has a issue or 2 that arnt huge , but adding another layer on top of that adds more crap that you dont need. And combined with no Direct x 10 support well it just keeps moving down the list

3- MAcs are very anti upgrade, since they do there own thing and how they go about. While im not saying you cant upgrade, some are very restrictive. They always want ya to just buy a whole new mac like its a console.

4- Why buy a Mac when i PC can do everything a mac can and then some and save you money. I dont honestly see why you would limit yourself and give yourself more trouble so you can do what a PC can.

Now this next one is more targeted to non hacking mac people

5- Macs are a platform that is and has been based on the idea of people who dont understand PC's. While this is not completely true, but its marketing shows this one

Before everyone gets into a hoot

I have used a mac, i have used linux and i have used Windows

all for different reasons. I stick with windows because it has all the gaming shit i need. Linux was for industrial reasons, and the mac was because it was someones.

Does anyone think that a Warrior Priest could be a back up tank??

 

No.

While no is right, in low lvls they are just fine. With my DOK i tanked with him till higher up stuff. Tier 1 doesnt really require tanks, just more or less a healer. In tier 2 you will definetly need a tank, and at this point people start intermixing alot more.

wrong dude, quiit spreading bad info

make it sound like he is completely wrong, which he is not. You turn into a chicken when flaged for RVR in a zone you are to high for. Obviously if you are in a PvE zone you wont be flaged unless ya choose to.

This only applies to tier 1,2.     3 and 4 are fine

If you are talking about a open server then this rule is the same except you are flaged all the time.

should also add, while RVR is mainly PVP its not the only thing. RVr also includes PvE. ITs prty much anything that helps your side. And as said before, while WAr will have the skrimishes , but obviously the main thing is huge epic battles.

keeping it up

everything as of now is 6

the king is 24

Just cause its 6 doesnt mean its of raid quality or difficulty, its rather about getting a skilled group, then just getting the numbers.

CC is very limited in this game

Althought from what it sounds like

id say

Magus

Sorcereer

Zealot(although this is mainly a healer, hes the most dot centric)

Preview weekend, graphics were set to high by default, I set the graphics to a lower setting hoping it would reduce the number of crashes I was getting.

The graphics are a little less better looking than LOTRO, but LOTRO will never have 200 toons on the screen at once.

wtf you talking about, the settings where stuck at Balanced, you could turn it up to high and see no difference, ofcourse i didnt see anything lower. But im assuming these graphics are medium.

1. Lack of toon customization. Every class at a certain level, say level 11 rune priests look more or less the same. In WoW you can customize your toon with hundreds of different pieces of equipment.

I can understand this, its a fair statement, but in WoW..........you all look the same in the end. In War yeah you are going to look the same as your breatheren , this is due to the nature of the game, you are a soldier. You dont see army soldiers in clown outfits(reminds me of family guy"you guys are stupid they are going to be looking for army guys"). While your armor looks the same, that doesnt mean it isnt customizable, obviously you can change the color of each piece, combined that with guild emblems can be on your armor ect. You are a soldier, not a adventurer, Tzeentch did not grant you his gifts so you can climbe a tree.

2. Simple PvE. Vast majority of WAR quests are fedex or kill 4 vampiritic llama type quests. PQ quests are pretty much the same too, kill 3 waves and then kill the boss, loot.

The higher PQ the less they become like this. While yes the starting ones are simple and do follow this completely and a good portion of stage 1 do this. Some as you move on get better and better, their also exist ones that qualify as difficult, that actually have a story tied to it and is much more epic. I remember the one in marshes of madness. There is a cave full of these ghosts for stage 1, obviously you have to kill them. Stage 2 Continues into the cave finding a crypt , 2 champions and a hero, but if ya dont kill his remains then he keeps respawning. Stage 3, you find out that dwarfs are also in here and have full supplies, that you have to kick the shit out of(best part is if ya find one with dynamite you can kill it and blow the hell out of the rest) Stage 4- you have to kill the leaders of the tower that the cave leads out to, while this is happening you are taking fire from barages from above raining down on you, i found it alot of fun.

3. WAR has a simple PvP combat system. There's no charge, blink, distract, fear, flare, stealth, etc in WAR. EQ1, a game made in 1990's has as many combat features as WAR. Solid toons are a noticeable WAR innovation.

What is your definition of simple? this is all relative, thus well means crap for my concern. I find it funny you mention all these abilities that WAR doesnt have though. CC is very limited in this game, it is not like wow where a rogue keeps you locked down and you die in a few seconds, fights actually last. As many have said its more tacticly, its not based on a set of macroed button mashes, its premtive thinking and charicter planing. Tactics are one thing, same thing for moral(while it has been in other games, not recently though). These are the things that can turn the tide ect.

4. No special things. There are no Warglaives in WAR. Nothing to strive for. In WAR, you are a cog in a machine.

And what are you in WoW? a cog in a guild enviroment, that can be taken and replaced.  Yes you are a cog, not a adventurer but a soldier. But its your job to make that machine rune smooth and clean. Its about your side, thats the fundemental idea behind RVR realm pride. Its something quick you gain in this game. In WoW i didnt play alliance because of well the charicters and players base. The reason i wont play order is because i have learned to hate them. While the classes are fun, its like betraying your side.

5. Unimaginative combat. You'll mostly spam your damage spell or spam your healing spell, nothing else to do.

Wait................................................................dont you do this in wow?

The only thing going for WAR is the large scale combat. I'm waiting to see if the large scale combat is worth a subscrition to WAR. If large scale combat turns out to be a zerg fest with no strategy, just a bunch of people swarming around and the side with the most people wins, there won't be a reason to play WAR other than it's not WoW.

What i grasped is two things,

1- your most obviously trolling, im not one to toss this about, but damn i mean your playing the game that has all these things you complain about, and when a game comes along having these things but adding more layers.

2- i loved it and il be playing it the RVR is great and i cant wait to do the PvE content. Keep seiges are awesome and i cant wait for Fortresses and cities.

Warhammer 40k needs to be either planetside esc or the action is like tabula rasa style. Or will be a huge let down for me atleast.

Does the bright wizard have the whole "blow your own head off" risk when casting his spells?  Or is that a sorc only?

 

yes, called combustion

I think its going to be a rune priest or ironbreaker, damn things are impossible to kill.

 

..except, Order is so outnumbered that Mythic may decide to keep Order classes more powerful, to cope with the zerg.

well my server was the other way so my opinion might differ.

nah ya dont, your just a giant squig. ITs cool though.

I would say shadow warrior also, since the only other archers have pets. And i dont know how you feel about squigs.

DAMNIT MAN we dont want it to kill it, ONLY be a competator.

Why? because if you have 2 games competing then the consumer wins because that means they will work harder to win.

I think if you ask me the brightwizard has something not based on its dmg that brings it to par.

The brightwizards spells ARE INSANLY rediciouslus. They make huge explosions that let people know they are there. The Sorc is much more subtle in most of their spells not making them such a target(cept for the giant stone)
