I've been in the beta for awhile now, but given the NDA there was never any point to a thread about it, but with the release coming up I figured I'd get this up.
Legitimate Businessmen intend to reform as a Destruction guild upon release, with many old members, and old friends from Dethecus. Once server lists are available we will pick one, and I will put it in this post for those who are interested in not getting to level 10 before they find out it's on the wrong server. Otherwise this is just the general discussion thread.
Update: If you intend to play with us you should e-mail Malvado. The address can be found on our website (http://lb.pifff.com), which is currently a roster of people who intend to join our guild, and what class they intend to play.
Update: We'll be picking a server when the Head Start opens.
Update: We've chosen Averheim to play. The head start has begun, so if you've preordered the collectors edition, go a head and start rolling your characters on Averheim.

but what about wrath of the lich king ??
-
:whoops:
-
Kazz, it's an MMO. You won't like it. Don't do it!
-
I was actually somewhat serious. Norn, Hrae, Paco, etc. aren't interested in WAR a'tall but are planning to go way hard when WOTLK comes out. This is kind of a dilemma.
-
I am interested in WAR and WOTLK. This is a major dilemma. :(
-
War should come out 9/18. Wrath is HOPING for December and more realistically destined for first quarter 09.
So..
Buy War, love it, problem solved?
Buy War, hate it, Buy Wrath, problem solved?
Buy War, love it, get burnt out, Buy Wrath, alternate? MADNESS.
But, you know. Buying War if it holds to that September release. Will see what happens from there.
Go Chaos or Go Fuck Yourself.

bullshit
you'll beat WOTLK in two weeks
(note: nobody but Niku even knows how to beat an MMO)

Go Chaos or Go Fuck Yourself.
i am very curious about the marauders and would like to subscribe to their newsletter

This month in Hideous Club Arms.
-
My guild in WoW is finally starting to lose steam and devour itself from within (mostly due to the GM's best friend wanting to allocate all the loot to himself :whoops:) so as such I and my better half will probably be free to play a new mimmopurger when Warhammer comes out. We'll give it a shot.
-
then again zealots are pretty cool too and what we all learned from burning crusade is that NIKU LOVES TO SPAM YOUR SCREEN WITH HEALTEXT
-
BUT MAGUSES GET TO RIDE ON A GIANT FRISBEE HOW THE FUCK AM I GONNA CHOOSE
-
The frisbee also turns into your mount later.
-
I think the D&D RAW forbade you from riding Tensor's Floating Disc. Not that WAR is D&D, but I imagine I'm not the only one thinking that.
I was actually somewhat serious. Norn, Hrae, Paco, etc. aren't interested in WAR a'tall but are planning to go way hard when WOTLK comes out. This is kind of a dilemma.
stop making this shit harder than it is you fucking anti-sponsor son of a bitch

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY
PLAY BETA OR GTFO
(oh shit i better get crackin' on those netherwing eggs if i wanna hit exalted before then)
-
Paco's rolling witch elf
WE'RE GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER
-
honestly right now my hot button is sacrifice disciple, because that looks like a melee shadow priest, but i am also hot for magus and zealot. and want to skim the newletter of squig herder and witch elf. CANNOT DECIDE. MUST BETA.
-
I am going magic surfboard like you don't even know
-
I wanted to hop on the bandwagon, but I just cannot put in the hours on this like I know you guys are going to do. Orks look like the most fun. Choppy and stompy.
-
In the beta weekend, I couldn't actually use the name Sogitking because apparently King can't be in a name.
So... Sogitkeng, Squig Herder from Squig Herder Island. Assuming I get some ram in the next week for the beta, lolololol.
-
I can't be King Panzer?!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*cancel preorder*
-
you can be Krang Panzer
the brain in a tank
-
:mikey:
-
This is probably not going to be worth it for me.
We'll see.
-
I can't preorder on D2D because they fucking hate my money. I will probably have to just buy it on EA's site and wait for them to ship, so odds of me getting into open beta are essentially nil.
-
ha ha, just kidding! the EA store won't let me buy the game either, so i won't be playing warhammer with you guys at all, actually.

Wait, why can't you just preorder it in... a store? Or on Amazon, for that matter.
Also, I played on a friend's account in the closed beta, and I'm hot for the Chosen. Hopefully all you guys and my friends who are playing will happen to be on the same server so I don't have another World of Warcraft "choose who you would like to play with ever" scenario!
-
Amazon and all the local brick and mortar stores are out of preorder codes.
-
It seems like bad planning that Amazon would run out, seeing as how they don't actually give you any physical object for your preorder.
-
Don't fucking ask me, i'm not the product of 20 generations of inbreeding, unlike everyone involved in the promotion and distribution of WAR.

solution: force them onto our server
norondor are they out of the normal preorder codes or the collector's edition because CE is like sold out everywhere but my local stores still had stacks of normal ones?
-
The problem is, neither of you know which server you'll be playing on. And you'll probably decide, differently, within five minutes of open beta launch.
EDIT: Huh, how about that? (http://warhammeronline.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_servers)
-
SKULL THRONE SKULL THRONE
-
but is it RP PVE-only?
-
PVE-only
I can't tell if you're joking or misinformed.
-
oh, burrito
:slow:
-
I'm never attempting any form of e-commerce with anyone but Valve ever again. Fuck your whole rotten infrastructure. i hope the world burns and you all die in the rubble.
-
can't you go to a physical store and get a physical copy
also, do you want my open beta/head start codes from my preorder?
because i won't be able to fucking play on my campus connection
-
We'll be picking a server when the Head Start opens
-
i get to pick
and then everybody has to stay there for years
and i get to leave
deal?
-
And you shall call that place... Outer Heaven.
-
Hooray, everything is resolved! I am probably in the open beta, even! ::D:
-
I'm really glad Norondor didn't want a blizzcon ticket because I'd probably already be dead by now
-
i get to pick

As someone who had a ton of fun playing on Dethecus before Blizzard transfer-shit all over it, I support this plan of action.
-
god
god
dethecus these days it's like
like
every fucking day on qquelthalas OMG I AM BEING GANKED HELP HELP
do these people not know what fucking server they are on
i think if i hadn't joined the trollrregulars i would be tearing my hair out by now instead of just kicking everyone who uses poor grammar and spelling from the guild as a therapeutic measure.
-
hay can i join your guild :)
also you probably shouldn't sleep too easy yet, romo, since the world ends in 4 days
-
http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/08/27/warhammer-online-fan-preview/
I was unaware that you could dye your armor
we need lb colors
-
It doesn't really work yet. "Shadow Grey", for example, yields a particularly horrid shade of off-light-blue.
-
so ronery :(
-
i'mma patchin' mah beta client
(and then going to sleep in a few)
-
with any luck i should be all ready to go by the time i get home from work tonight.
-
ha ha ha, my internet went back down, so i lost my progress at 80%! patching again!
i hope that the internet doesn't go back down again any time soon like it's been doing several times an hour for the last three months!
-
nope still like two hours left on my torrent. and then presumably i have to patch. OH WELL I GUESS I'LL DO SOME DAILIES.
-
ha ha, back to 0%! NO PLAYING WARHAMMER EVER
-
... oooooor i'll start the patcher and it will finish in one second?
-
Detor,
Level Rank 4 Chaos Magus.
Ridin' that disc like a complete fruitcake.
-
FUCKDAMN SHITCUNTS
-
so uh
why the hell can i not use the patcher D: D: D:
-
disregard that i suck cocks
-
we're all on cragmere (...i think) for the beta, but don't worry too much about it unless you have a truly insatiable need to play with everyone on the fullest server ever for 7 days.
-
Since my computer is as old as Sharkey, I'll be playing WAR on my friend's computer to see if I like it. If it is at least as fun as early DAoC was, I'll be buying or building something that can run it.
Based on the guild webpage's tally of projected classes, I'm leaning toward Zealot or Squig Herder. Suggestions?
-
I'm a level 4 Zealot (Nikuko) on cragmere for now. Prolly gonna be trying out other classes pretty soon though!
-
so apparantly if you are trying to customize your magus at some point he will decide to rise up on his floaty disc so you cannot see anything you are customizing and will refuse to come back down :victory:
-
post s tripple
Nikuko = zealot
Mister = marauder
Meatdoctor = squid herder
Ukinko = disciple
Ikunko = witch elf
I am sad that "The" is unavailable or taken, but I got "Mister" anyway for now. I think with so many changeable titles, such a name could be funtimes!
-
Played for about an hour tonight after I got home from rehearsal and... didn't have much fun.
Witch Elf is god-awful at early RvR, and Magus is god-awful at early PvE.
Guess I'll try a few more classes tomorrow.
-
I've mostly been playing an Engineer and an Ironbreaker, but I also rolled a Chosen named Prospero on Crag Mere.
-
Detor, Level Rank 4 Chaos Magus.
Ridin' that disc like a complete fruitcake.
DETOR!
DETOR!
Amael.
DETOR!
-

Fuck, I'm glad this wasn't just me. Quite possibly the most infuriating this about the game, and you're still in the creation screen.
-
Besides the fact that Maguses are a PVP area denial class with no ability to do anything but die messily at the hands of anyone who actually decides to give a shit about them? :slow:
-
actually, in all honesty -- chaos and orcs are cool and shit, but why are we not rolling order? all their classes are better.
-
because we can't all be witch hunters named Vanhellsing
-
yeah, but at least we could win RvR whenever we wanted.
-
Funny, I was playing as Order and it seemed like Destruction kept winning RvR...
Fucking Black Orcs, man.
-
you were losing? you didn't have enough bright mages, then! :happy:
-
I dunno things have seemed pretty evenish to me so far. YOU WIN SOME YOU LOSE SOME
-
i am digging the magus way more than i expected so far.
-
want blue demon
-
Are we going to be rolling on Core or Open? It sounds like Core is basically PVE, but Open doesn't let you go back to old areas without turning into poultry.
or maybe rp
-
I predict that Greenskins will have higher-than-usual populations on RP servers.
This may or may not be linked to my desire to create a macro to yell "WAAAUGH!".
-
We're going Core. The open rule set is kind of muddled and stupid.
-

my black ork is named waaaaaughlter.
-
let's be friends
-
Grudgingly agreeing with Norondor because between Bright Wizard, Witch Hunter and Dwarven Engineer there is a pretty strong showing of mad fucking style against the forces of Chaos.
Also I havn't seen White Lion anything but it sounds pretty god damn GAR and like it may involve my favorite part of WoW Hunters: JOUSTING.
-
(http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z284/Nikumatic/DEATHFRISBEE.jpg)
yeah i think i'm going magus.
unless you knobs are serious about going order in which case witch hunter hoooooo
-
I dunno what to play. There are already two maguses, so i guess we could get a good game of ultimate frisbee going.
-
I'm increasingly hot for Ironbreaker. It helps that I have a friend who rather likes his Warrior-Priest.
Maybe I just like not ever dying.
-

There are very few classes that haven't been good times for me yet tbqh. I plan to push every class up to at least rank 5 just to give them all a shot (magus gets doubleawesome disc at rank 11). Magus has issues, but it's really clicking with me. That's why I've put in the most playtime with it so far. I've got some concerns about how well the close-range AOE caster build will work out for it though, so I guess I'll see how well my shiny new armor spell helps in RvR tomorrow? I like the rhythm of Black Ork a lot too. The 1-2-3 combo is like a fun game of stunty whack-a-mole. In fact, so far I'd prolly say I'm almost split between Magus and Ork. Zealot wasn't grabbing me like I had hoped, and I like Disciple and Sorcerer both well enough but the latter's damage risk is kinda obnoxious since while every other class tends to get some nice big number telling them about their special thingie .. Sorcerer gets a color-changing orb you have to mouse over to see exactly what percentage of Dark Magic you're at. and then you're slinging your nuke and all of a sudden :scanners: Otherwise I'd probably like the class a bit more.
Marauder felt nearly broken to me for the two levels or so I played it when I popped into a Scenario and was just slaughtering people left and right. Hooray for anecdotes! I also like Squig Herder thus far, but have not done much with him just yet. The only two I haven't touched at all are Chosen and Shaman. I'll probably fix that some tomorrow.
-
Zealot is basically the only class in the game, as far as i can tell, that has absolutely no special mechanic. They're just WoW Discipline Priests with absolutely nothing unique about them.
Who are they clones of? Rune Priests?
-
Yeah, they're the "straight healers". I understand that they are, pound for pound, the healiest healer classes in the game, at the expense of being able to do things like blow shit up good.
-
Their special mechanic is based on their Mark buffs. Each one is a very large, very specialized buff that has the additional effect of granting the target an extra ability, usually something useful, on a moderate cool down. The other thing they get a bit later is rituals, which are very powerful group buffs centered on the caster. Their mechanics isn't anything as obvious as someone like the Black Orc, but that's what it is.
And yes, their parallel is the Rune Priest.

Didn't I fight that guy in Contra 3?
-
Update: We've chosen Averheim to play. The head start has begun, so if you've preordered the collectors edition, go a head and start rolling your characters on Averheim.
-
In the meantime, this gives me a chance to steal Spore!
-
I just rolled a Marauder called Grimmy. My poor Witch Hunter is no more :sadpanda:
-
I'm probably never going to play this, but if I do, I call dibs on naming my Witch Hunter either Dante or Damien Darktalon Blood.
-
Hope you preordered the collector's edition, because those names are going to be taken on every server ever.
PS Mildly irritated that I can't patch because I have to login to do that and I don't have CE preorder, just regular. What a terribly-designed patch system. Guess I'll just have to grab it on Tuesday when the whole thing explodes.
-
If you are in the game contact Malvado, Orken, or Siegmund. We do not have the guild made yet, because that requires you to take a group of six to the Inevitable City, and we haven't bothered yet, but if enough people are on I'm sure they'll take care of it.
-
God I hope the power in our apartment is back by tomorrow. :(
-
as rad as this game seems, my computer sucks, my car is broken, i'm shit broke and Wrath of the Lich King launches in two months. My shit be TIED.
-
powercomebackontodayplzplzplz :( :( :(
-
I.. I guess I'll see you guys around Christmas, maybe. Might be getting a new computer this year. T.. then I can be.. one of.. da boyz.. sniff.. :sadpanda:
-
same sentiment as Doom
-
Borderline pulling my hair out over this game. Three groups who wouldn't mind me playing with them. Crew from back home, LB, and some of my coworkers.
The other thing is there are a ton of lovely games coming out between now and the end of the year, that it pretty much means having to dedicate videogame time to Warhammer.
I'm still gonna have to say no for now, but dammit there's a good chunk of pressure to hop in and it looks fun.
-
We've formed the guild. So far Orken (Myself), Malvado, and Siegmund can invite. Afia will be able to invite soon, and probably others as well. Not that it seems to be a terribly pressing issue.
-
god it is so frustrating to be computered up, head start coded up, and generally completely ready to rock and then a hurricane goes "LOL no". My only solace is that I will be r40rr80 by next Wednesday no matter when I can actually start playing.
Also needs more cooldudez not not playing :( :( :(
-
also I am fully aware that this being my biggest hurricane related problem would piss a lot of people off. I am also having trouble sleeping in a bed that is not mine??? 8D
-
:whoops:
oh niku
you are just the bee's meow

For just $400 dollars a day, you can help sponsor a gamer in need with a gaming laptop.
[Picture of Niku goes here]
Won't someone please think of the beard-bearing class citizens?
-
those fucking charities only encourage them to breed more
-
I'm pretty iffy on this. Getting together with all you guys and adventuring sounds hella fun, but the extra time and money (plus I just got over playing WoW again) makes me want to play TF2 instead.
-
So why did we roll on a first-letter-of-the-alphabet server again? Login queues on day one are zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
wondering this myself. whoever is in charge of server-picking, screw you. :humpf:
-
So there are still server queues after the open beta?
Are they still up to 30 minutes long?
-
clearly because SKULL THRONE was too awesome for us. (no really apparantly it has already hit max population along with three others, none of which are ours)
MAYBE TOMORROW HA HA HA ;______;
-
Averheim was, and still is, the lowest pop head start server.
-
Averheim was, and still is, the lowest pop head start server.
Does that mean every server is going to have queues to get in? And how much worse will it get when the official release happens?
-
Strongly reminded of WoW launch here.
Let's see if they manage to learn from the mistakes of those who came before them and get this patched up before march of next year. :nyoro-n:
-
Realistically if you blow your budget on trying to build the capacity to handle every player at launch, you're going to find yourself with a massive surplus of power that needs to be maintained once the greater percentage of the playerbase trickles off.
IOW, launch on a decently managed MMO is always going to be like this. That you apparently consider it worth the wait is good news.
-
Gobsnick the Squig Herder and Buffon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges-Louis_Leclerc,_Comte_de_Buffon)the Chosen on both Averheim and Avelorne; Thoric the Ironbreaker and Teslason the Engineer on Skull Throne.
I suggest Skull Throne be our server for order alts, since my filthy order-playing friends are on there.
-
Strongly reminded of WoW launch here.
Let's see if they manage to learn from the mistakes of those who came before them and get this patched up before march of next year. :nyoro-n:
Thankfully, despite a couple random crash-to-desktop-v.-cleanly bugs, War launch is way more stable than WoW's was.
Which is good, because my strategy for getting around the terrible launcher is to just stay logged in.
-
They're going to launch with a shit load of servers. They've got approximately one million pre-orders of the game, and are shipping 1.5 million units. I'm sure once Wrath of the Lich King launches in November there will be a large migration of PVE fags, but until then we'll just have to suffer a bit.
-
So I heard that everybody in LB is already high level or some shit?
I thought the game started today.
-
I think Sieg is probably level 20 by now, and I'm level 14, which was second place when I went to sleep. I'd hardly call that high level, though Sieg's leveling is insane.
-
You can hit R10 in a day almost effortlessly. It's around there (9, 10, 11) that the curve seems to rise. The really great thing is the bolstering: though top of the tier ranks will fairly well menace you, with many classes you can pvp at any level and do not toobadly for yourself. So you can play with LB of all ranks (until they outlevel the tiers I guess?)!
-
Yeah, the only hard limit is the tiers. Those are pretty lenient though. You have to be level 12 to have leveled out of Tier 1, and the same is true in the later tiers until 40.
-
You can hit R10 in a day almost effortlessly.
It should be noted that you, in particular, would be an awful judge of this.
-
Within a few minutes of Niku getting his power back, he should be halfway through the end-game content.
-
Anyone else having crashing problems? Today twice so far, once after 15 minutes (dumped me on my desktop) and once after maybe an hour (but took my monitor with it, so I had to restart.)
-
You can hit R10 in a day almost effortlessly.
It should be noted that you, in particular, would be an awful judge of this.
No, it really is reasonable. I got 8 yesterday after a full 8.5 hours at work, never having played in the zone past the first three quests, having the worst RvR Scenario in the entire game, and still getting to bed around midnight.
-
;_________;
and now I have to worry about gamestop having no power whenever mine comes back
-
So instead of a reasonable grace period, Mythic decided to have a one day period after launch before you need your CD Key. So I'm out of the game until my Collector's Edition comes in the mail, which is looking like a couple days.
-
Boo hoo, you closed beta player.
-
That's not exactly pertinent. I was playing alone, and spending most of my time testing and making bug reports. Now I'm falling behind the whole guild while I wait for a god damn package.
-
It's funny that you say that, just days after assuring me that it doesn't really matter what level I'm on or how often I play.
Clearly we all must level simultaneously, or the game dies.
-
Clearly we all must level simultaneously, or the game dies.
That's what I was afraid of, and why I didn't dive in. Not fun to be the straggler trying to catch up as the awesome guys ride on living discs that eat hope and they fire off various awesome things that make people die.
Meanwhile you're poking angry bunnies with a stick until they drop a coin for you.
-
It's not really about falling behind in levels specifically. I mean that I've been playing closely with a group of people so far, and I don't want to fall out of that group.
Straggling behind is no problem in the long run at all. We'll all be 40 and kicking about soon enough I'm sure, but my leveling experience was more fun for leveling with a group of people that I will now very likely fall irrevocably behind.
-
While that's a shame, I didn't get into the head start AND I'm doing RL stuff all weekend AND I'm not going to play a minute of the game on Monday AND I'm going to roll an entirely new character on Tuesday. So I am already totally resigned to not being able to play with you guys pretty much ever at this point.
-
My difference engine can't parse this game. Disregard statements made to Toaste re: me playing.
-
oh yeah my game runs like shit too. i'm rolling Squig Herder because i would be unable to play anything where i'd have to stand next to an enemy.
THAT SAID I'M TOUGHING IT OUT OK?!
bc the game is 4 serious pretty rad so far
-
I am installing the game (patching now!) on my mother's laptop on a stolen wifi connection at my job.
It has come to this. ::(:
p.s. ha ha ha bal ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
i mean sympathies
lots of them
for you.
-
They reactivated the accounts affected by this. Apparently people were going to "boycott" the game they couldn't play, but were desperate to. I was just going to play Clear Sky, personally, disappointed as I was.
-
also apparantly if you do not meet minspecs (my mom's laptop is pretty much just under) the game does not run like shit, it just refuses to run at all. oh well. it's not like i was actually going to play today.
ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS MAKE MY CHARACTERS, MYTHIC. ;_;
the wait for power continues.
-
Is there some sort of online character creator demo? That's always my favorite part of those games.
-
Not that I'm aware of. Pretty much every character has about 20 different ways they can be horribly disfigured!

Even if it did run it's not very much fun waiting five minutes to walk and then crashing because of the lag caused by those three Bloody Sun Boyz patrolling the newbie area.

Even if it did run it's not very much fun waiting five minutes to walk and then crashing because of the lag caused by those three Bloody Sun Boyz patrolling the newbie area.
hence why all i wanted to do was make my characters. :( and maybe spin them around on the character screen until they got dizzy (try it, it's fun!)
-
My system beats all the specs and then the game runs all skippy and shit. Probably because I run the only single-core CPU still on the internet.
-
Taking the game pretty slow since I've had an overtime workweek, but even at low levels the PvP is a blast (esp. now that scenarios work again). The lakes are a great mechanic and combine the best of Alterac Valley and TM/Southshore. Even though first-tier is a little imbalanced because people are queueing up before they even have a second ability, once you get up a little (which I didn't have the patience to do in beta and I'm glad I still picked up the game) you can really tell that they had a heavy PvP focus in designing.
I'm really in love with the action points mechanic as it really solves a lot of the problems with spellcasters in other games (also that you learn, like, 50 spells and they all scale by level and stats). The backlash mechanic also works as beautifully for checking Sorc in PvP as it does in PvE to compliment the lack of manapool.
But it sure doesn't stop you from destroying the entire other team if you have a competent tank and healer.
-
I CRAVE FLYING DISC ;_______;

The thing that makes me so fucking hard is that PVP Tanking is real and it works like a fucking dream. When I'm protecting someone, using taunts and guard, among other abilities, I can tell, and so can they. You can that beautiful "Get the fuck away from my healer" feeling, and the abilities to back it up.
-
I'd like to request some in-game pictures of your soon-to-be epic characters, if it's not too much trouble.
-
What? Taunting works against players?
Do they become unable to attack anyone except you for a specific amount of time?
-
IIRC they get a debuff on them that makes them take extra damage from the person taunting them until they turn to attack them a few times.
-
Taunt causes the effected player to take additional damage from the taunter until they hit him three times, and do less damage to any target they hit that is not the tank. This, combined with guard, can cause an attacking enemy to do truly insignificant amounts of damage. The overall idea is to make the tank a high enough priority target that he will be attack instead of anyone else.

My chosen class (zealot) has gear that's itemized wrong and playing it in PVP is pure pain. Oh, also, have i mentioned what a huge fan i am of the fact that PVP instances only have 4 tiers across 40 levels, when each level makes an enormous difference in terms of how effective you are, and while they scale the power of your skills and your stats, they don't scale gear? It's so fly :cool:
there's also the fact that ironbreakers are FUCKING broken but that's another issue altogether.
-
...isn't that the exact issue tiers were supposed to address?
-
yep! they did just the opposite.
at least at tier two, where the highest-level players all have mounts and everyone else just gets shit on from as great a height as you can imagine.
-
In all seriousness i'll still keep playing the game, but definitely not as zealot, and probably not even as Destruction, if they don't fix Ironbreakers straightaway.
-
yeah i hear that all the renown gear for maguses in tier 2 is loaded up with strength and weapon skill 8) gg mythic
ANYWAY I AM PLAYING NOW SO YOUR COMPLAINTS ARE MEANINGLESS BECAUSE THIS IS NIKUTOWN NOW
-
yeah, i get initiative, i guess because zealots are supposed to be detecting witch hunters. usually i do this by being slaughtered in two seconds by them, but whatever.
I mean, the t2 renown gear for zealots doesn't even have armor. Just init. If i get 500 of it, that's 1% parry!
-
If money weren't an object and you had 5 hours a week to play with a consistent posse of people, would you rather go WoW or Warhammer, and why? Or, if neither, what MMO would you go for?
-
5 hours a week? Neither. Go play PSU or some other instanced game where you don't have to deal with the rest of the world pounding you with their giant dicks.
-
WAR, honestly. It's WoW 2.0 PVP edition, and it's fun. It's got a solid foundation and once the bugs and balance issues are ironed out it'll be fantastic.
Cryptic is building on a solid base here. WoW is going to be mediocre forever.
-
Apparently getting a stupid team is unforgivable. Deleting local content.
RE: Ironbreakers. I hate to say it, but L2P, and also realize that a tank with a two-hander is supposed to be a threat to you, and low level PVP is not completely balanced. Ask Malvado about Ironbreakers. It takes like three of them to kill him, and that's without me guarding him.
-
I forgot about all the options i have to deal with ironbreakers, like running slower than them because they have a permanent snare and not being able to outheal their damage. Should i be using shadowform? Is the key my thoroughly useless damage shield, which protects me from a little less than one melee hit before breaking and has a 15 second cooldown?
ETA: i like how you can ping-pong directly from "learn to play, noob" to "the game's not supposed to be balanced" without your head exploding from cognitive dissonance.
-
I didn't say it's not supposed to be balanced, I said that it isn't balanced, and judging two classes (Zealot and Ironbreaker) by their performance at level 11 is ridiculous. I admit that there is not much you can do personally at level 11, but to say that tier 2 is a total wash is just ignorant. Any tier can be rough if you're at minimum level, but by the time you're half way through it you're a near par with anyone in there thanks to bolster, and regardless of your success in the scenarios you are always quite well rewarded, and the alternative to the tier system they have is not being able to get into a scenario most of the time. Believe me, I played before they implemented the current system, and in the lower populated tiers the scenarios never popped due to the level gaps.
If you can deal, then just wait until you're half way through the tier before you queue up. As for the L2P comment, I was just being glib.
Addendum: And by "unbalanced", I'm not talking about something major, like WoW hunters at 19. I'm talking about some classes being too powerful against classes against which they are already intended to be effective.
-
What i've heard from Malvado -- and actually, what i'm seeing RIGHT NOW -- is that i am not actually rewarded for PVP in any meaningful way. I don't have any fucking use for gloves with +20 init on them, or boots with +23 init on them, or a charm with +30 init on it. I'm still using gear from PQs in chapter 2 because i haven't gotten anything better.
As for bolstering, it is a cute idea that clearly Does Not Fucking Work, or i would have a chance against someone who's +5 on me. Maybe not a great chance -- i'm down 2-3 mastery points, maybe a blue piece of gear, and some class skills which could mean the difference -- but better than being able to take out maybe 4% of their total health before being curbstomped.
Or are zealots honestly just supposed to sit as far back as possible and toss out HoTs and run if they are spotted? I feel like i'm falling further and further behind the power curve, enemies in PVE are half-killing me or more, and it takes some 30 seconds to kill a single equal-level mob. Part of this is probably the fact that as mentioned my renown gear is totally worthless, but if i inadvertently rolled a holy priest that will explain a few things, including why it is i am never playing zombor again ever ever ever.
-
Admittedly itemization is a little screwy, although that may be intentional in an attempt to fight mudflation. That's in the minds of the developers however. I think the main point here is that Zealots are a full on, sit back and fucking heal class. You can solo in PVE well enough, but you are not now, nor will you ever be, a face melter. Your DPS tree is for leveling, and maybe a bit of extra damage in PVP, but you are playing the healingest class that Destruction possesses.
I think you might be happier on Magus. Their form of DPS is as close to shadow priest as this game allows.
-
Contrary to popular belief, i don't really mind healing (i mean, i always roll healer...), so that wasn't why i went shadow. I did it because i actually hate being totally helpless (also, because it was enormously overpowered). The only things i see coming up are, like, AOE damage spells, which is puzzing considering how totally useless Zealot damage is -- do they get any really useful abilities on par with PW:S, Psychic Scream, or whatever? Am i going to be totally at the mercy of Danknuggz the Chosen to decide whether or not he wants to keep me safe, while i have no choice but to heal useless idiots? because if so, Zealot is seriously not for me.
-
Admittedly itemization is a little screwy, although that may be intentional in an attempt to fight mudflation.
Actually, on this note: are you getting a ton of ballistic skill and int on your black orc's renown gear, or what?
-
Noro: You might try rolling the PQs for a while for gear. I have not actually looked into Zealot gear much, but I hear the PQ T2 gear for Maguses is correctly itemized where their Renown gear is not, and vice versa for T3. It's fucked up, but it's one of those "lol thanx for playing an mmo at launch" sort of things.
-
Well, it's academic, because after talking with norn i suddenly realized that I am playing WHM and this cannot be tolerated, so now i am looking at shaman/disciple/sorceress.
-
to be fair, it's less academic when you realize it is entirely possible that at some tier or another, everyone's gear might be busted right now :sadpanda:
-
a WHM with a ton of great +wis and +cha and -threat gear is still a fucking WHM.
-
i was worried about not being able to play with you guys
but i'm so happy i can play without listening to ventrilo ragecries right now
-
What is a WHM?
-
I'm guessing.. White Mage?
-
Black Orc gear is getting a lot more Willpower and Initiative. Not completely useless for me, but I'll never have it in number high enouhg to really make it worth while, which is the same for your weapon skill, although that is a worse case.
I would not be surprised at all if it were intentional because, with the exception of strength on caster gear, most of this stuff makes a perverse kind of sense.
-
I think he's talking specifically about the WHM, the White Mage in FFXI, whose jobs are as follows:
1) Stay as far away from the monsters as possible.
2) Spam heals.
3) If a monster looks at you, die.
4) Do nothing else. Ever.

...So yeah I can see how that would sort of suck in PvP. Guild Wars did it okay, though, why can't WAR?
...oh, right. That level thing.
-
You also got like two hundred million spells and maybe you could use axes or have a pet crab or so.
-
It's not really fair to compare Guild Wars to a real MMO in terms of PvP. GW will always stand above the rest because the devs didn't have to balance skills, abilities and classes for 1v1 or PvE.
That being said, I think it's possible for the devs to do better in MMOs then they do. I haven't played WAR, but I'm a longtime WoW pvper and holy shit some of this shit is just glaringly obviously stupid
-
longtime WoW pvper is just glaringly obviously stupid
-
Zealots aren't helpless. Malvado is damn near unkillable without a real concerted effort from the enemy team, you're just too low level to have all the tools available to you.
WoW PVP is a hideously balanced mish mash of PVE mechanics.
-
Lemme guess, WAR PvE is a hideously balanced mishmash of PvP mechanics?
-
WAR isn't hideously balanced at all. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LEVEL 11 HERE. I mean, jesus. It's already more balanced than WoW at the tier Zombor is talking about, and it just gets better from there.
-
Just curious, do you guys match Rank for Renown, or catch your Renown up as you go? I pretty much just quested in the open beta, but by trying to keep myself generally at max Renown Rank there ain't much room for questin' in this here grind.

You're usually a few Renown Ranks below you current Rank

I'm going to assume you're insulting the game here, and not me, despite the fact that it could be read either way, which really pisses me off when people do that shit.

::D: It could easily be both!
But seriously Friday, are you going to let an asinine knee-jerk response bother you in either case? Isn't that the entire point of these forums? I clearly think that's what they're for.

That's not what he does, but whatever, play whatever class you like. I'm not begging you to play Zealot or anything, I'm just pointing out where you are mistaken on some of it's capabilities.
-
every post i have seen on the electronic cyber-frontier re zealots is either
1) zealots have no issues, i can dps down 10 mobs at a time solo and i'm unkillable in pve
2) i'm level (11-20), does this class ever get good or is it a parade of misery and inefficacy from now until the end of time?
::(:
so now the question is: since i'm 8 levels behind the lowest level people do i want to a) grind grind grind b) keep playing on an alt c) delete local content
:confused: I DUNNO GUYS C IS LOOKIN PRETTY GOOD
-
and it really pisses me off because I LIKE ZEALOT A LOT so i kind of do want to just bulldoze through the evidently awful 10-20 bracket and get to where i will be awesome, but the talent trees are a fucking mess and so is renown gear, so the actual issues with the class never get better!

Maybe you should, like, not continue to pay for it? I know you gave up on canceling FF11 but I think Warhammer will be a different experience.
-
Well, no one is paying for Warhammer just yet, because it's still within the initial free month.
-
So, I guess I don't actually have time to play an MMO these days. That's pretty tragic, I was starting to really enjoy WAR.

-
They introduced a patch that completely killed the experience gain from killing multiple mobs at the same time through AOE grinding (if you kill two mobs within a second of each other, the third will be -50% XP, the fourth -67%, the fifth -75%), which as an AOE grinding god of a class, made me go "what the fuck?"
And then one of the devs went "what the fuck, who's idea was that" and had it turned off within a few hours.
I think Warhammer's gonna be allllllright.

Ok, so I'm probably quitting this. Hearing today that you can't queue for scenarios as a warband clinched it. WAR is a tight game designed by smart people who decided the pinnacle of WoW was the Tarren Mill/Southshore zerg. I'm having fun hanging out on vent but this game is not even in the same zipcode as fun for anybody who actually enjoys coordinated PvP, and there is no way I can see the long-term investment being rewarding enough to justify the retardation along the way.
Also, Witch Elf sucks and I'm not rerolling.

you can do what you like; probably a lot of people will be back up in WoW's grill when WOTLK comes out, no matter what they say, but you might like WAR's super-pvp-centric everything more.
-
alternately we could all get FFXI and roll on hades !!!
-
i have no idea what WoW's appeal is. you guys are insane.
-
On the PVE <--> PVP spectrum it's between FFXI and WAR. FFXI's PVE game is so solid that i don't miss PVP, but playing it without friends is not tolerable. PVP in WAR is so well-designed and -implemented that i don't care that much that what you do between battlegrounds is boring, unprofitable crap, but playing without a preformed group of guildmates will leave you pounding your face into the keyboard all day (at least, if you are a zealot, and can't just cheese DPS meters...).
WoW, therefore, is the boring middleground, which allows you to crappily muddle through instances or battlegrounds with sub-human pickup groups. Muddling is fun!
-
WoW is the safe, average middle of the road choice that everybody's familiar with, and wouldn't mind having to spend the rest of their lives with if they had to choose even though it's kind of dull. WAR is the younger, more exciting choice that's so young and so exciting that it quickly becomes obnoxious. FFXI is the slightly more mature one that constantly tries to seduce you with its pedigree, but obviously does not regard you very highly and is far more concerned with itself.

Does CoX get no love anymore? :sadpanda:
CoX is plenty fun; it just doesn't make any pretenses at providing the level of content of the three mentioned.
The three Brent mentions really are the current contenders in terms of overall quality. Most of the others are either sandboxes (CoX) or painfully broken (AoC). When called to defend MMOs as a genre, I will usually suggest those three* and if the subject can't dig on any of them, they probably just don't like the genre.
To answer Kazz's original question, the general hoi polloi of WoW is actually a pretty fun bunch of blokes. This is because WoW attracts normal people and not aspies.
*some people are apparently really hard for EVE Online but honestly that game sounds so ridiculously aspie to me that I can't in good conscience try it or suggest anyone else do so.

Man, now that Bright Wizards and Engineers are awful I see why everybody was saying Witch Elves are OP.

Wait, bright wizards are awful? What the hell?

now that .. Engineers are awful
oh right paco doesn't actually know anything about video games
-
now that .. Engineers are awful
oh right paco doesn't actually know anything about video games
EDIT: Engineers were a mediocre class at best in most situations but Electromagnet/Barbed Wire was a ridiculously hard counter to Witch Elves.
And yeah, Bright Wizards were nerfed all to hell. It's actually horribly unfair to them; their damage was way too high but they didn't gain any survivability in the exchange, and as a testament to the fact that Mythic has NO FUCKING CLUE what they are doing, the backlash system seems to be completely unchanged judging by health bars.
So now that BWs can't liquify me from 100 yards and Engineers can't pull me out of stealth by being in the same zip code, every scenario is filled with delicious candy. Warhammer is still as dumb as ever but I admit it can be pretty fun if you refuse to take it seriously.

I think that about describes every warhammer property generally.

Taking a game seriously is the surest way to stop enjoying it.

Unfortunately the trial won't work so great not going to pay 30 buck's for a trial.

I haven't played it since a little while after launch, but it has a lot of potential. You just can't get away with that unpolished of a launch anymore.

Yeah. I liked it, but once I got to the final stretch I felt I was about done with it.
-
They put the Choppa in, and I have a machine that can probably run the game fine now, and I already own the fucking game, so I'd consider re-upping if others did.
-
depends on if they ever made maguses worthwhile or n NO NO MMOS GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
The Choppa is what make's me wanna play. I wanted a nice 2 handed class for the chaos side that wasnt a tank.
-
Well it looks like Averheim is not on the list anymore. Guess im going to vortex since it seem's to be new and gives me bonus exp.
Edit: I found it
Snagarbongue Orc Choppa
Double Edit: For some reason it won't let me onto the server to make a character.
-
Sounds like a good time
-
I poked over to look at the forums. Maguses are just now getting a buff in the next patch.
:barf:
-
So if I re-upped Warhammer I could go from Shaman to Magus and remain comfortably familiar with my own tepid worthlessness.
hoo-ray
-
I have a rank 18 Choppa that I've been playing exclusively in RVR for the last few days. They improved everything I didn't like about the game, and so I think I will continue to chop as long as the choppin is good. If anyone wants to join me, I'm on Iron Rock. If we can track Dontae down, I could reclaim Legitimate Businessmen from him, since the guild was forced over to the server when Averheim was merged into it.
To be clear, I am not attempting to do great things. I want to run around, chop, stomp, and kill. If you want to join me, feel free.
EDIT: Turns out Guild Leader defaulted back to me. Another awesome feature. Anyway, message Grikka or Orken if you want in.

I will think about joining again. I am playing mostly on the trial.

Send me a copy and a time card and I'll play one of those deformed arm guys.
His name will be StomplerDeformo and he will constantly sing ballads of his great adventures into world chat!
-
i gotta say, i really wish a better game had a magical surfing aoe monster class, because that was pretty fucking fun.
sharkdisc best mount forever.

Oh hey, so you're telling me Warhammer online's failure was the publisher pushing too hard, and general mismanagement? NO FUCKING WAY (http://ealouse.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/hello-world/)
-
What I like most about that is the revelation that The Old Republic is up to 300 million dollars, and it's really just a shitty wow clone that's not even close to being ready for prime time. Hopefully EA takes the hint after this upcoming failure and gets out of the MMORPG game for good.

But didn't you read it? It's going to have FULL VOICE ACTING! You know, just like Oblivion! I'm sure it won't affect their ability to introduce new content in any way.

ok listen, we need to make a new zone
so um
there's a dust storm and it's causing horrible allergies
also all the females died
get mike in here to read the dialogue

I'm looking forward to seeing more of bioware's awesome shortcuts with alien voice acting that we saw in KotOR. Every twi'lek in the game has only four lines of spoken dialog, looped out of order to give the illusion of speaking another language.
Why even fucking bother at that point?
-
four lines of spoken dialog
That's four times as many lines as I thought they had!!! By the end of that game I was seriously considering genocide (minus one blue loli).

KotOR was an old game, dude. It might almost charitably go to a resources thing.
Now why the fuck every member of a given species in Mass Effect 2 has the exact same voice and model is a good fucking question!

Because all Quarians look alike.

To be fair, the one voice volus get fits their race pretty well.
But, yeah, for a relatively huge company with relatively huge funding, I'm not really impressed at the skimping on the voice acting budget in some of these games.

On a whim, I decided to check out the website. I was able to get a 14-day free re-up to the game (No credit card required.)
I forgot how good I looked.

It's a lot better, at least, and the population isn't as tanked as one would think. It's not the same zerg madness it used to be, but there's at least a keep battle or two worth of fighting to be spread around the world.
It turns out I picked an interesting time to look into the game. There's a whole bunch of rebuilding-from-the-ground-up changes coming to Open RVR:
http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/flash/WAR_games_day_10.html (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/home/flash/WAR_games_day_10.html)
The TLDW version of it is essentially that they are changing the current push-and-pull of ORVR to a resource based per-zone system. The goal is the same (to capture the enemy keep) but the method for doing it has completely changed. Resources spawn at Battle Objectives and have to be escorted to the keep in order to upgrade your keep. They start as NPCs on foot, but as the keep ranks up they become armored and mounted. You can also steal resources from the enemy resource carriers.
They are also adding some Skaven that will be deployed for both sides in a limited manner to change the flow of battle. Four different classes of skaven, each with a different style of play.
All in all, I'm actually excited to see the direction of the game. There's also a lot of posts on the developer round table forums (http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/category/230/index) in regards to upcoming changes too. Magus/Engineer changes, Tank armor changes, renown changes, rank changes..

Gah..must resist reup.

Here's the patch notes for the update I was talking about. (http://herald.warhammeronline.com/patchnotes/index.php?id=2010_1-4)
Here's the link to reactivate for 10 days (https://accounts.eamythic.com/war/reactivate) and Here's the details about it. (http://www.warhammeronline.com/call_to_arms/re-enlist.php)

Alright I just reupped finally going to play a 2h Chosen. Thanks for the re enlist Ziiro.
-
Well, 1.4 isn't out yet. Keep in mind things have been improved, but it's still RvDoor/Waithammer at times.
Saw this in the patch notes:
Warlord: This Renown armor set will now be attainable in Gold bags rewarded for the capture of a Tier 4 Keep.
:omg:
-
>magus changes
fake notes.
-
Magus also has the "throwing arm" tactic that used to be engineer only, now.
-
How is this now? It's been 2 years since I last played it and even then I had to admit it was finally starting to show signs of being a fun game (except for Waithammer, of course).
-
Without looking up any news or hearing anything lately: Probably still heartbreakingly bad. They made a DLC/Expansion/Money-for-power bullshit (http://store.origin.com/DRHM/store?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=ea&Locale=en_US&Env=BASE&productID=221617200) that lets you buy/unlock RR81-100. It also boosts your Renown gain from 1-80 so it takes less time. It's a pretty grievous offense.
That aside, City sieges actually happen now in T4 and there's a lot of movement in the zones due to a completely revamped capture mechanic. It's still RvDoor, but it's no longer waithammer when waiting for something to cap.
You could always check out the endless free trial business they have going on. The engine and generally gameplay/lag has shaped up nicely, at least.
