    QFT; including the phrase "for the most part".

    This mutilation of the game goes against everything Warhammer stands for.  I guess ignorance is bliss... Have fun playing your gimp game at launch. gg

     

    LOL. If you had a clue about Warhammer IP, then you'd know there are literally dozens of cities with it's own lore in the IP. There is no way they'll get it all in. Deal with it.

  • The only thing that I am discouraged or disappointed by is the amount of whining kids on here. To be perfectly honest, if you haven't played the game and don't know all the details of a classes such as blackguard, but you are saying you canceled your pre-order because the class is cut means only one thing. You need your diaper changed. Grow up.

    1. If they delayed - some people would complain

    2. If they left them in without them being fixed - some people would complain

    3. If they cut them out until they are right - some people complain

    The game isn't released yet. Very few of you even have a clue as to how difficult it is to make something that takes, say 100 core people with talent and several years. Things change. I'd prefer they remove a class (and it's counterpart) if they are overpowered or broken. I am sure they'll fix it and release it later; they aren't stupid. There are tons of other "classes" in the Warhammer IP but how many different systems of combat do you think they could come up with to assign to a new class that is interesting, unique and balanced?

    Likewise, 6 cities to fight over might be a be much; who knows. Only they know and some of the beta testers. I've no doubt they'll come out with these as well. To be honest, form what I've heard, I'd pay to play right now. The cities are the highest end of content. I am sure we will be fine with all the other types of RvR until they give us four more cities to fight for.

    The bottom line is; no matter what they do, some people are gonna bitch and say "That' it! This game totally sucks now so I am quitting." (even though they never joined yet, LOL). I wanna hear a bunch of people that are in closed beta say they won't join because of a few cut classes. Twenty is still plenty. Each side still has each type of role; even if you can't get a race/role you set your heart on just because it looked hardcore, etc.

    That's an interesting thought, although they are awfully close in intended playstyles. DAoC could've been a lot stronger all these years if they'd have made decisions a little better. Most poor decisions are based on:

     

    1) Trying to give the players what they think the players want.

    2) Trying to give the players what they think will make greater sales.

    instead of...

    1) Trying to give the players what common sense says they need.

    Been playing for years, ..   and years.

    Most of our wargaming group will be playing WAR when its released.

    Have a massive DarkElf army, thats been shelved for the last 2-3yrs(cause they suk so much azz). Heres hoping dark elves dont suck half so much as they do in the wargame

    Also I have quite a sizable Chaos army, and also have extra stuff for chaos allies in my Dark elf army.(cult of slaneesh)

    Also have a multitude of 40k armies, but we dont play that game anymore. 40k is to warhammer fantasy, as WoW is to Ultima Online.

    40K was a great game once.

    It makes you wonder, doesn't it? I rather expect that if WAR is a bust that my faith in the MMO genre will be a bust, too. It almost seems that the more they hype the game the worse it ends up being. I remember VG:SOH was hyped like crazy; bust. Age of Conan was hyped pretty well and half of it isn't even there yet. LOTRO had probably the lowest hype of those and it seems to be the most stable.
