Of course we do, we're #1.

Since I got the CE I'll make sure to let you guys in USsss know what server when that starts.

So yeah uhhh, Maguses are really really terrible.  They have like no DPS at all, and every other caster class out DPSes it.  I WILL BE PLAYING ORDER AT RELEASE GUYS.

On top of that by leveling up your renown you get access to cheap, but excellent equipment that is a lot better than anything you could get from doing PVE content.


At the beginning of Tier 2, you get access to public quests that award superior quality items. It's a good idea to mix and match PQ stuff with PVP items for the best gear you can get. Tier 2 has some interesting PQs too, one I was doing the other day had me and a large group of people besieging an empire fort type place. We fought our way up to the top to find a bell ringing loudly, and an endless wave of guards charging at us. We had to destroy the bell before we were overwhelmed. Pretty fun stuff, IMO. After that we had to escape, but blocking our way were three guard captains.

I won first contribution and won a blue axe... that didn't have any stats at the time (it was fixed today; though I don't need it anymore).

Also, Maguses have some phat aoe damage with blue horror. Try it sometime. Haven't seen any other class pwn multiple mobs as fast as me yet.

Hmmmmm okay what I have isn't an open beta key it's an EARLY ACCESS HEAD START key which means i can start playing live servers on the 15th instead of the 18th.

So I get three days to learn about the game so I can say ".......newb" to all esp's questions when he starts on the 18th. Nice.

I said that at first, too, but then I started comparing it to WoW, and well...

This game is totally worth playing if you are any kind of Warhammer fan honestly because I hated Warhammer Fantasy until this. I mean, orcs what the hell is that. The orcs, at least, are pretty close to 40k orks, even though everything else is messed up compared to it.

Sorry I forgot the point of this post please ignore.


PS: Goldenration, Woman, HL, etc: I'm thinking of playing ~2:00PM EST-2:00AM EST Monday Morning, anyone want to play with me?
don't mind me, just postin' after a few brewskies

mark turn the settings down to "fastest framerate". everything still looks really good and theres a significant framerate increase. chaos areas always lagged me more than dark elf areas, too. havent gone to the org/goblin areas.
yes coulombs are "germaine", did you learn that word at talk like a dick school?

Well yea I'm going to be playing on lowest settings for real but my computer is basically THE EXACT MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS so I think this is going to play like shit especially in sieges and stuff.

I've played wow on a computer that only just met its requirements... :-(

I just finished installing beta and played a bit on a Chaos Marauder, it is pretty cool.  I don't have any cash at all though this month and I hate buying MMOs at launch so unless there's guest passes or some shit like that I probably will not be playing this until like November.  Early October at the earliest if one of my friends decides to be cool and buy me the game for my birthday on the 9th or something.

Paul B. rules so hard. He seems really down to earth and makes a lot of sense to the general person. Also he's pretty funny.

edit #2:
made them unembeded because they were acting wonky in my browser

The more I play this the more I realize I need to scrounge up money for it's release.  Any idea if there's going to be guest passes or week trials or anything?

I dig the talent trees in this game. I'm only looking at shaman talents atm but there's some tough choices

when do you get to start putting in talents, at a certain level or something?

Think I might end up playing as a Sorceress or Magus when the game goes live.
Zealots are nice and all, but what people were told by this Paul B. guy about "no one will just sit back and heal" is a load of rubbish. That is all a Zealot can do in PVP (except for the occasional buff), and in PVE 30+ seconds to kill an equal level NPC kind of sucks.
What is even better is that Rune Priests and Zealots are suppose to be the same, they have the same skills, only with different names an animations, but 90% of the time in some way, shape or form the Rune Priest skills are superior (some do more healing, more damage, have a lower cooldown, or something like that).
