I'll remember that for you greymann if you go to a hospital and the doctor is deciding on whether to kill you or amputate your leg.  Personally I'd rather amputate...they're moving on up in the world of prostetics.

First off, i'd like to say that from all reports, WAR leveling is a good 30-60% slower then WoW, but the max level is 40.

It'll be a good 1-2 months before a siege is even close to happening. It'll be another 1-2 months before a siege succeeds.

Then another 1-2 months before anyone even comes close to mastering a town siege.  By then more content should be coming.

 

 

QFT. The game should have plenty of content. if they release the capital pairs with a few months time in between everything should be fine.

Could be even a good thing in a way... Not being fanboyish or anything (i hope) but adding those capital pairs will gradually increase the strategic complexity of the game. With all 6 capitals on at the start the new players might find themselves clueless on what should they be doing now. This keeps things focused.

As for missing classes, thats another matter. They should be added ASAP. Imo, they should make that extra effort and make them ready for release. Too much imbalance between races. Not good at all imo, and not easily fixed.

LOL! Hey everyone lets buy a half finished game!

Sorry for trolling but when I saw this I couldn't resist.


 

Someone's not going to use the half full vs. half empty analogy?


 

Do you people seriously see this as half of the content being taken away?

 

Once a man hand gangrene in is arm, the doctor told him he had to cut it off, the man refused then the doctor asked him "You want to be Alive or Whole?"


 

Let the man die and bring a better one.

a bigger better  "one"

Let me see if I have this straight, correct me if I'm wrong as I hope I am:

There will only be two cities released. I assume that only the races to whom they belong will be available to play as a consequence. Further, due to all that or for some other reason, a bunch of classes will not be available.

Apparently a delay for this would be far to long. This implies that we wont be seeing these things for quite a long time.

If EVER something warranted a delay, this has got to be it, surely?

Are they releasing anyway because they sold the CE pre-orders this year? Is it because of WotLK?

WTF why?

All the races are in.

2 cities are in.

4 classes are out; 4 cities are out.

About sums up those parts of the article in a nutshell.

Further, due to all that or for some other reason, a bunch of classes will not be available.   No all 20 remaining classes and their respecitve Realm Teirs are still available infact this was stated by a dev today .. that in order for your side to siege on the Capital that is in game you must control 2 Campaign battlefronts..you must have 2..as in 2 racial pairing areas under your control.    The only content being removed is the city itself and the internal quests / dungeons that were in that city thats it.  There's still far more available for release than most games including wow have ever offered at launch.

....Mythic has never had an issue delaying before if it was simply a matter of a few things missing or not ready they'd delay.   Obviously its not...No one has ever seen these cities, not even beta testers.  Its safe to say they are NOT complete in any shape or form and spending Launch time trying to ready them would be a POOR decision for team focus.   Atleast this way the team is focusing on fully finishing 2 cities instead of trying to finish 2 and pop out 4 more in a mediocre decisions.

We still siege, fight for keeps, have guilds, have dungeons, have living cities, we have everything promised except a couple of battlefronts that quite honestly can be launched without destroying the game.

While it is slightly annoying that the other cities won't be in at launch, I highly prefer that to a completely broken unfinished mess like what happened to AOC.

Better not to implement broken features IMHO...

Thanks for the clarification, but it brings up more questions. How is that going to work out?

All of the races are in, but there is only 1 area per faction.  It was my understanding that the races each had their own areas of the world, with their own cities. With their own quests. Not to mention that the CE pre-order offered items and quests that seemed  localized too.


While there were 8 classes to start with, the reality was closer to 4. Now we have 2. LoL?

What were they thinking? What the hell man?

So they would stall for a couple of minor things, which I know wasn't the case before btw, but missing 50-60% of the overall content is okay? This isn't even like just endgame content, its entire chunks that are missing.

 



  Obviously its not...No one has ever seen these cities, not even beta testers. 

Than they damn well need to wait and make sure they are tested.

That seems FAR MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN with the current situation. They simply need to tack on another year or two if that is what it takes for the game to be complete.

It will destroy the game. They are launching with 2 classes and 1 region. The other regions will be added, way later. Like I said, this isn't just some endgame stuff which is bad enough. Its entire regions, and adding the remaining regions piecemeal long after launch isn't what the game was built to handle. Its going to cause serious complications.

The campaigns missing capitals will, for the moment, contribute to taking the two capitals that are slated for the game right now.  As for the 2 tank and 2 MDPS careers, the article was too ambiguous to really make any claims or speculation.  I imagine the missing careers-to-race will eventually get worked in, but I don't really know.

Edit: To address your post after your post, there are more than two careers in the game.  They originally had 24, now there will only be 20 in the game.  DE/Empire are missing the tank, and Greenskins/Dwarves the MDPS.
