I'm going with unsure on this one.

It is a very effective way to keep high level players from ganking, but then again you know there are always those players that will gather and attempt to form an unstoppable horde of chickens.

While it would be nice for them to use a simple "/kill" instead of the chaos chicken, the world of Warhammer has always been rather humorous and that may be the reasoning behind the chicken.

Just some thoughts.....

If ignorance were bliss, the world would be a *much* happier place.

It's the single-best and most creative idea they have in the entire game.

To live free is worth dying for.

Why get rid of the Chicken?  That's the single most amusing idea I've EVER SEEN in an MMO that allows players to attack other players.   It' keeps things from getting ganker and seriously... chickens just fit those folks.

 

I voted NO.

I like to PvP. I don't want all the rank 40 kiddies down in Newblet-town getting their rocks off. Frankly speaking, I believe the only people who will complain about the chaos chicken are the people who constantly get owned in pvp. The solution is to learn some pvp skills, not go kill some lowbies.

Watch there be a ToK achievement for spending a certain amount of time in chicken form or actually managing to kill someone while in the form.

My only worry about the Chicken system is that I'll be stuck with annoying gaps in my Tome of Knowledge, because something I need is only found in the PvP zone. For example, I don't like the idea that I may have found 4 out of 5 lorebooks in a Tier 1 zone (one of the recent videos showed some Tome unlocks are part of a set) only to miss the last one, which happens to be stuck in the middle of the PvP zone and therefore be effectively unable to get it. I just don't want to have to plan my character's leveling process by reading Wikis or Thottbots to ensure I don't miss any content on my Tome collecting character(s).

What so you can get you kicks by killing people that can't compete or fight back? There is already a system like that... its in wow.. go play that game. Thanks.

 

I personally think its a good mechanic that keeps the challenge in, and the griefing retards out.

 

So no...

This is a very good point, anyone know if Mythic have said anything about this?

I believe that you will be able to enter the RvR area without becoming a chicken but once you try and attack someone then you will go "poof".

Things happening in lower tiers affect the higher tiers so you can't have a high level farming lowbies.
