Mythic = fuck awesome. Warhammer = We may be living in the post-WoW world

[TVC15]

If the game's first impressions are anything to go by, the old king is dead.  Long live the king.  Again, for all I know, the game may turn to shit after the first few zones, but as of right now, this is the shit.

Mythic

Make sure you are queueing up for scenarios and doing some open RvR while you level after getting to rank five or seven. The real gem of the game for me so far is the way that the game seamlessly shifts from PvE to RvR and back again, and all the while you are leveling from it and getting loot no matter what you do.

[pilonv1]

I TOLD YOU IN THE OTHER THREAD BUT YOU WOULDNT LISTEN

Seriously though, frag is right. There's always stuff going on, PvE, Public Quests, Influence Rewards and RvR. There's always shit to do.

Also the crafting and gathering skills are fantastic and have great experimental aspects to them.

[Eric P]

i haven't done crafting because the "how to do alchemy" rules kind of scared and confused me

[pilonv1]

theres no rules. you just mix some ingredients with a main ingredient and experiment!

[MrAngryFace]

Ill probably still play WoW, I like this so far but WoW feels like home while this feels like ill have to devote time I dont feel like devoting.

Still, 1000x better than Conan.

[Eric P]

i liked conan's healers a bit more

the tanks a lot less

and the ranged dps a whole hell of a lot more

[Smooth Groove]

How is the PVE?  My gaming times are very inconsistent so I'll probably be playing it alone most of the time. 

Also, how are the graphics compared to AOC?

[Phoenix Dark]

is there a free trial available still?

[Ganhyun]

is there a free trial available still?

Yes, I may try this out if there is.

[pilonv1]

Simple but effective. Plus the public quests are PvE and people tend to make groups so everyone can share the influence rewards. I've noticed that people are much more interested in putting together PUG's than WoW.

Don't think there's a free trial yet.

[TVC15]

Yeah, the public quest I did was fun.  That's a great new feature.  It's like getting to play with the other losers there without actually having to deal with them that much.  Kinda best of both worlds.

[Ganhyun]

Well, as long as my Vista will run it, I'm probably gonna grab it later on today or this weekend and be on there with The Bore.
Warhammer has always fascinated me, so its not like I won't like the game. I'm just worried about getting it and the system not being for me. But none of my friends have this so I'd be the first to try it. But usually you guys' opinions on here match close to mine, so I'll probably love it.

[Fragamemnon]

I got my collector's edition today and the box is as big as my original Xbox.  It is now sitting on my desk next to my pile of plush chuzzles.

Rank 17 Ironbreaker, renown 15 right now. Looking forward to getting out of tier 2 this weekend.

[TVC15]

Where are you at, Frag?  I am playinh Order on Ostermark.  Eric P is there as well.  I am doing a Witch Hunter.

[BlackMage]

did they ever fix that shit where if another player is like 15 feet away from you his animation becomes stop motion? That shit really ruined it for me.

[CajoleJuice]

...

I'm so scared....I want to try this. 

Me too.

[FatalT]

Yeah that's right, Warhammer is amazing. Take it in boys, take it all in.

[MrAngryFace]

Speedbump is movin on up. New clothes, new shoes.

Why does RvR take so long? I have that first RvR quest and im queued forever, and nothing.

[MrAngryFace]

lol, me and 4 other greenskinz went on a pvp adventure.

[pilonv1]

Why does RvR take so long? I have that first RvR quest and im queued forever, and nothing.

Some scenarios are bugged, otherwise there's not enough people queued unfortunately.

[ZombieSupaStar]

so how is this?

I was in lich beta and still play WoW but I dunno with fallout 3 coming I dont think ill have the time. I really wasted my cash on AoC, otherwise i woulda definately tried this.

Neocron was the funnest? pvp for me tho, ganking people in their apartments ftw!

[Shuri]

is this shit like conan where everybody will suckoff the game for a month until it goes to shit?

[MrAngryFace]

I think its better than crap conan

[pilonv1]

i could play this for months and not discover everything.

plus the PvP is awesome fun

[MrAngryFace]

is this shit like conan where everybody will suckoff the game for a month until it goes to shit?

Give it a month and see how many of us jump ship.

[MrAngryFace]

I went ostermark too

[MrAngryFace]

Anyone having trouble using trophies? I got one and I equip it but it says there's already a trophy there and there isnt and it does show :/

[MrAngryFace]

Oh yeah, this rox. BIG FUKIn HAMMER

[TVC15]

is this shit like conan where everybody will suckoff the game for a month until it goes to shit?

So far, I think this is better than Conan.  Right from the get go, there were red flags with Conan. 

I will say this for Warhammer:  it's definitely the most solid-feeling MMO (at launch) since WoW.

[MrAngryFace]

Yeah, im not sure i'd say its better than WoW, but it will probably be the best alternative around for a while.

[pilonv1]

i was awesome in the T1 scenario today, led the destruction sides with 6 finishing blows and 2 solo kills. Up to R8/RR6.

[TVC15]

Here is my current character, Devendra.  He's a Witch Hunter. I've only been doing him for 2 nights.  I was doing a Magus before but I wanted to switch to order and the Magus class is kinda meh at the moment.

[pilonv1]

order are wilde homos

[FatalT]

order are wilde homos

Agreed.

[TVC15]

I wanted Chaos or whatever, but I wanted Eric P even more.

[WrikaWrek]

Problem with these MMOS to me is still the shitty sense of scale, in the economy, in the "empires" (should have players be kings and shit), that is still based on rpg stats instead of player skill (i want real time combat, like i wanna be pulling the moves and shit), and it's still something that has to be played with a group of players, which is cool but fact is sometimes i wanted to jump in WOW and i was alone, and i couldn't do much.

So MMOS, see you in 20 years, i bet it will have reached the point i want by then. 

[MrAngryFace]

order are wilde homos

Agreed.

I would have loved to stay Destruction, but a lot of forum posts and people have indicated that most of the annoying pre-teens and teens went Destruction to be a fucking Chosen. The ratio on a few of the serves ive been has been Destruction over Order.

Ill take order, they arent neary as fey as alliance. Warhammer universe benefits from having no 'true' good guys.

EVE Online sez HALLO

[Eric P]

i am with the guild The Wanderers because they're competent and fun.  if anyone wants to join just hit up their website

www.the-wanderers-guild.com

order, ostermark

intelligent older peeps.

i'm currenlty playing a white lion named Talenina

[MrAngryFace]

Ill think about it

[Eric P]

every time i play a class that isn't a healer i get so pissed off at all the shitty healers in the game.

[pilonv1]

there seems to be ridiculous cooldowns on healing pots too. i made a fuckload of HOT pots via Apocethary and I can't use them

i did get some heals the other night in RvR though

[MrAngryFace]

Im an awesome healer, battlepriest goooo

[Phoenix Dark]

so what are the instances (or whatever they're called in this game) like?

[Eric P]

Im an awesome healer, battlepriest goooo

i've found that in rvr and in scenarios that the typical battle priest and typical zealot (the DE equiv) are too concentrated on fighting and healing themselves as opposed to keeping other people alive.

[TVC15]

What level are you at, Eric?

[TVC15]

Also, what profession(s) should I take.  I am a Witch Hunter.

[MrAngryFace]

i've found that in rvr and in scenarios that the typical battle priest and typical zealot (the DE equiv) are too concentrated on fighting and healing themselves as opposed to keeping other people alive.

Thats crazy, battlepriest even at level 4 has an awesome super buff, and 2 fucking healing spells. I'd like to think a battlepriest is just a priest that can handle a little aggro and offtank if things look bad.

[Eric P]

What level are you at, Eric?

i have been bouncing back and forth and with my extended absence this week, i'm only up to lvl 7 on my Rune Priest and on my White Lion.  WL is ok, but i really don't think i'm going to keep it around.

[Eric P]

Thats crazy,

yeah i think it's lowbie/noobie idiocy rather than indicative of the entire class

[TVC15]

Any recommendations on picking a profession/job whatever?  I just don't want to pick a useless one.

[pilonv1]

Also, what profession(s) should I take.  I am a Witch Hunter.

You can only take 1 gathering and one crafting skill. Mythic put the hurt on the 2x gatherers fucking up the economy.

I went Cultivating/Apocathery. The cultivating is fucking boring (there's an add on called PlantMe which automates most of it) but the Apocathery is awesome. Experimenting, getting potions that are volatile and may cause you damage. It's really fun. You can sort of work out what each main ingredient does, what it buffs/heals, then you modify it with ingredients that either lengthen it, make it more potent or increase the quantity.

Since you're witch hunter which is the order equivalent of Witch Elf (correct me if im wrong) I'd go for Cult/Apoc. Just having your own potions and not relying on heals etc is nice. Plus you can make some nice buffs.

I haven't tried butchering/scavenging so I cant comment, but apparently talisman making is a fucking money sink.

[Eric P]

'
none so far i'm afraid

i've just done scavenging so i can keep the income coming in

[MrAngryFace]

Yeah! Im awesome. #1 contributor in public quests most of the time. Most battle priests dont fight AND heal. The give you a secondary friendly target for a reason, fuckin bad healers out there. Cant tank, cant heal, what good are they!?



they're good at outrolling me is what

[pilonv1]

so thats what the secondary target is for. im melee dps, like i care about secondard targets

BTW morale abilities = FUCKING AWESOME

[Fragamemnon]

Any recommendations on picking a profession/job whatever?  I just don't want to pick a useless one.

Scavenging is highly recommended. I would go with either talisman making or apothecary as a production skill.

[pilonv1]

why scavenging?

and i thought talisman making was like enchanting in wow, a huge gold sink?

also can you remove talismans? i put a +20 resistance one on some gloves that I replaced 1 level later and i want the talisman back

[TVC15]

I went to join the Wanderers, but I'm not an active member on any of the forums they say you need to be on   Guess Imma going it alone.

[MrAngryFace]

Im totally diggin battle priest class. Fuckin huge sledgehammer and spells to protect. AWESOME.



Lvl 6! Was at the burning windmill andd that invaded fort most of tonight. Either off-tanking or healing. Secondary target is so awesome. Makes healing even a group of players that isnt grouped easier. I wish my stupid trophy worked, I want a tome hanging from my belt. Also the expression on the NPCs face when reading the recall tome is great haha
