View Full Version : Warhammer
Just wondering if anyone has any interest in playing warhammer. I've just pre-ordered my copy and was wondering if there where any other members of the community interested in forming a FA division.
EDIT: On seconds thoughts, having watched some more videos, I'll wait for a free trial before I pay for that. The combat looks a tad slow for my liking.

What type of game is it? an MMORPG or something more like PS etc?

MMORPG. The interface is very similar to wow, but the majority of the end game revolves around Player versus player or Realm versus realm. With things like guild battle standards and keep battles and enemy city siege's ect ect. It looks like it'll be a good laugh and alot of what they've said makes it sound really fun although whether the game will reflect the hype will remain to be seen. Paul Barnett there creative director sold the game to me crazy mofo that he is.
The concept is nice, it's down to the gameplay for me. Might have just been the video, but it looked a little "I attack, you attack" in terms of speed. Graphics don't bother me that much, however a PvP game needs to have fast and engaging combat really.
Yeah most of the video's i've seen are chaos chosen mind which are 2H wielding tanks. If you want a free trial why not register a beta account and chance's are you'll get into the open beta.
Been registered for the beta since it was announced.

I'll only play this if FA AoC won't be anything serious.
Avie please make AoC serious
loveandkisses

Hard to make it serious when those you rely on to get it going don't want to play. Can't light a fire to burn down a house without a box of matches.
Ahh FA joy :p
I refuse to have any reponsibility in Da Hammer!
i won't be playing unless its an fps i'm not bothered anymore
We need an FA.CSS, FA.TF2 and FA.COD4 tbh.
I play quite a bit of TF2 but wanted something with a bit of depth too.
<- playing CSS from time to time but its a bit fucked with the weird hitboxes and different recoils for the weapons so i feel like a noob atm
We'll need FA-BattleField Herioes! (FA-BFH) :)

So damn true, yet your own activity isn't an example either but we've spoken about this already.
And Nite, I love you too hun. You're not rid of me, ohh no!!!
P.S. See Avie, combined 2 replies in 1 post ... I'm learning ;D

Perhaps try playing a bit of ... I don't know ... AOC ???
theres a difference between being able to play 30 minutes of CSS a day for fun or 30 minutes of AoC where i wont have fun at all right now ...

Main reason why Fa ain't having that much fun in AoC is exactly because too much pple think that way. So yes, when you log on you see far less players as most think like that, sadly.
Shame that pple keep giving excuses why they're inactive while the plain reason is damn obvious.
AOC has it's own forum this is for general mussings about warhammer and conversations about squig's.
aye, indeed. how about those squigs eh?...
what's a squig btw..? =)
It's a ball of teeth and claws. The pet class for destruction is a hunter type which herds squigs.

squigs.
And playing CSS for 30 mins is impossible if its clan based - TRUST me!
Stupidly enough I would be up for running a CSS clan again if the right players were in and I didn't have 10 phonecalls on a weekend away to be told that the server is broke :p
Seriously what about now with the Warhammer? At this rate I am gonna have to take on more work and never sleep or leave Manchester.
ooh that looks like a class i would def play.
"His minions will even fight on after his death, wandering off only when the battle is done."
woot, that would have been great for locks in WoW ;)
As for CS, I used to play way back before zero or source started adding pink and green frosting into the mix - got a bit weird after those, but wouldn't mind giving it another go if a few people are up to playing once in a while - I get a bit tired of TF's cartoony and class specific play at times, not that there's anything wrong with it.

Hehe, as if you weren't strong enough in pvp without that? ;-)
Would be fun though.
AoC is the complete oposite when it comes to pets. You need to resummon it eachtime you switch zone and 50% of the time it does NOT listen to it's commands :)
I've been killed several times cuz my demo attacked a high lvl player and didn't stop attacking eventhough I ordered it to stop :)
warhammer = DAOC 2. *yawn* fest if you ask me.

Major features cut from Warhammer Online
Warhammer Online team has decided to keep their launch deadline firm. Unfortunately, in order to do so, they are pulling quite a few things from the game. Four of the six capital cities are being removed, as well as four of the character classes (two of which were considered the primary "tanking" classes for their race). The team emphatically claims that this has nothing to do with EA.
----------
In the latest of an ongoing series of interviews with MMORPG.com, Mythic Entertainment VP and General Manager Mark Jacobs has dropped big news on the Warhammer Online fanbase: major features are being culled from the game in order to make their Fall launch deadline. In short, the capital cities for the Dark Elf, High Elf, Orc, and Dwarf factions will not be in the game at launch. The Human city of Altdorf and the Chaos Inevitable City will be the only Capital cities in the game. This is an enormous change, seemingly changing much of what we know about the game's core of RvR gameplay.
Additionally, four classes are being removed, deemed to be in a condition unsuitable for launch. They are:
The Choppa (Greenskin) The Hammerer (Dwarf) The Blackguard (Dark Elf) The Knight of the Blazing Sun (Empire) As the website notes, all of these are melee classes and two of these were intended to be the primary tanking classes for their race. This leaves the Empire and Dark Elf races without a dedicated tanking career, possibly limiting their contributions to end-game PvE content. Jacobs moved immediately to try to curtail the obvious rumor-mongering: "This has nothing to do with EA ... they had zero input in this ... They don't even know about it. It's not a discussion we would have with them."

Lol, why bother with releasing it in the fall then?
I'd be game for playing CSS at a competitive/PCW level if we had enough interested people, same for TF2 or COD4. At the moment I'm just whoring a few Officer servers, occaisionally playing gungame or running around like a mad man on a zombie/zombie escape server. We should all get together on one of the games for a laugh, Nite, Twist and I used to play gungame occaisionally after WoW and that was always a giggle :)
As for Warhammer, I'll definately be trying it and will be inclined towards the Dark Elves. Let's just hope it is actually fun, not that fussed if they are removing things as they can't claim they are completely different to other developers as they've just had to cut some of the capital cities as they've probably been told how much budget they've got left. Hopefully they've not hyped up a game thats as fun to play with as a wet balloon.

Wet balloons are fun though ... atleast untill they pop :)
