Topic: WAR begins

Warhammer Online (only open beta at this point) comes online tomorrow, not sure if it will start the day online or come online later in the day but I am thoroughly excited, all except for the 350 minute wait to download the client at Fileplanet.  sad

Like many others I plan on using OB as a chance to see how much I like the game, and to decide what class I want to play at launch (assuming I play it). Right now my classes of interest are (in approximate order of importance) Black Orc, Chaos Magus, Dark Elf Sorcerer, maybe Squig Herder.

Looks to be a long night though, if I am lucky I can start my download at around 3am tongue

Re: WAR begins

I am.. forget which server I'm on but put a few hours in with a Chaos Magus.. Lvl 5 now..

He is okay.. Though I'm kinda wishing he had some more glitz and glam with his attacks.. everything is a bit stale in terms of looks of what he does.

Re: WAR begins

Ya honestly I agree with you Adam (!!!) that I wish that magic attack animations had a little more mmmph in them.  Otherwise I pretty much like the graphics

Re: WAR begins

Heck the mages first spell in WoW (Fireball) had more glitz..

Though I was in a RvR game and a lvl 8 person who played on The Order side hit me with some awesome fire skill that sent me flying.. tongue

Re: WAR begins

I imagine that would be a Bright Wizard but I have never played Order so I dont know for sure.  Though Bright Wizards sure do look cool as hell, and if I were Order I would probably check that out.

Also I noticed that today a lot more people seem to be on beta and its a lot more laggy now, whereas last night and this morning it was really not too bad sad

Can't wait till they get their server code ironed out

Re: WAR begins

So I'm sold on this game.  Gonna preorder from the EA Store.

Great fun.  Loving my Squig Herder though I hear he is one of the weaker classes in the game but should get buffs.

Right now all the tanks in the game are over powered and then followed by healers.

Re: WAR begins

THe Beta is raping my computer. I don't know if it's lag or my computer just sucks.

But I'm betting it on my 1 gig of RAM. And I'm on vista!      Well last night I was about to reformat and load XP back up and then I said fuck it and bought 2x 2g ram for my computer. I've been meaning to do it, but this game finally tipped me over the edge.

I get so frustrated when games suck on my computer because of sys req.

I've been playing the Magus. The flying disc is pretty bad ass.

Re: WAR begins

I tried WAR at PAX, I think I was the guy on a flying disc shooting fireballs at mobs. There doesn't seem to be aggro of any kind, i picked off some minotaurs one by one. I'm probably not at the meat of the game tho =[

Re: WAR begins

So um

You have to have a fileplanet subscription, huh.

That sucks.

Well knows he who uses to consider, that our faith and knowledge thrives by exercise, as well as our limbs and complexion. Truth is compared in Scripture to a streaming fountain; if her waters flow not in a perpetual progression, they sicken into a muddy pool of conformity and tradition. A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the Assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.

Re: WAR begins

Before fileplanet had it hosted the site actually listed a torrent. IF you want I'm sure you can find it by googling it.

Re: WAR begins

Hey adam, if you want to play with Ray and Matt I can find out what server they are going to be on. Them and like 12 other people who live in the plano/ ft worth area are all playing together.

I'm probably going to have to go oceanic.

Re: WAR begins

boo, I was really hoping the game would suck, for self preservation reasons sad

sigh... maybe I'll have to download it after all.

Goddamnit... there goes the semester.

Yeah I went there looking for a key.. but that site is so goddamn hard to navigate. If the keys are still there, I'm having trouble finding them.

Edit: Ah crap, I found it and yeah they're all out.

Re: WAR begins

Sorry for the double post.


Hey Adam, if you're going to preorder, doesn't that come with an open beta key? Could I have it since you're already using one?

Re: WAR begins

Yea it does.. Haven't preordered yet.. but if that key is tied to early start then I may not be able to give it away.

Will see .. I think I will do it tonight.

Got my Squig Herder to Rank 12.. So much fun tongue

I think I finally got some skills that can burst people down or at least casters now.  My 2nd level Morale Skill raises my dmg by 100% for 7 seconds and then I have a new Squig skill that knocks him into a rage where his dmg and attacks go up by like 50% for 30 seconds.
