what rpg has Squig hearders???? ok they are a hunter like class but a multi pet hunter, first time i think its been done in an mmo setting,
As a side note to this convo, no mmo Ive ever played or know of has Squig Herders. The closest class to a multi pet hunter and mind you its not a hunter but a caster is a Bonedancer from Dark Ages of Camelot.
Bonedancers are offensive casters with instant lifedraining abilities. That coupled with 2 minions that can heal you and one that fights for you makes for a pretty potent class. If you choose to go different "skill" paths the bonedancer can have a archer pet or a caster pet in edition to his commander skeleton.
I think I got that all right, its been a while since I played my bd.
You could have as many pets as you could physically maintain is UO. I remember once I tamed about 50 horses/cats/dogs/pigs/cows and went pvping. The people I attacked would get caught in a sea of all the animals and I would be shooting them with my bow. Since I targeted melee fighters usually so they could only kill 1 animal ever fer seconds. It took way to long to get all those animals but it sure was funny as hell.
Sent me an email if you want me to mail you some pizza rolls.
Playing horde in WoW since release and while I can see that the alliance has/had (stoped playing currently) it has not impacted my play. Heck a good grop of horde players could stiill hold the Ironforge tran station for almost two hours before we got zerged. My point is that nothing is decided in pvp just becasue on side has a numarical advantage.

I agree and I personally would have no problem with one of the sides not getting played as often. It didnt ruin DAOC at all. As far as Im concerned it made the game better.
The "under dogs" (mid) just had to tailor there style of play and use more strategy. Mids couldnt really zerg like albs could so they had smaller, better organized groups that in many instances took on zergs three times there size and still won.
iono bout you guys, but i like the darkelves look =] And from MMORPG"s that i've played, most people like having characters that look fierce, which is demonstrated in all races, especially the Chaos side. But i give them props. becuz they're all good ^^
All races look good to me,they look like battlescarred bloodcrazed men not like elf pansies who never seen a flower get stepped on ,let's not talk about ever seeing a battle
Personally I think if there is a problem with outnumbering, its going to be a horde of people playing chaos. I dont plan on playing them, but most people would agree that a chaos warrior in full armor looks pretty awesome. I'm going for dark elves based on 2 reasons, I played them for a long time in the tabletop game, and they had awesome looking armor in the game.
I believe that the high elves vs dark elves and dwarves vs orcs will be relatively even in terms of numbers, but I can see the number of chaos players overwhelming empire.
In the end all it is going to be...just like WoW...the evil side will be more ugly than the Empire...cause this game is related to Warhammer 40k...Chaos will never look good(warped by demon influence), greenskins always will be a orc look(or Waaagh Clan), id say the only thing that would look good would be the Elves or the empire.

I disagree with the premise that WoW is unbalanced because people think one side looks prettier than the other. First off, alot of people like playing the bad guys. Secondly, WoW is unbalanced because the leet pve gear is overpowered in pvp, not because more people play attractive races.

I don't think most people can't tell the differnce between a Scott and an Irishman
I think logangregor might want to watch what he's saying with his racial stereotypes, someone might get offended.
Also, in one of the videos Paul mentions the races are based off of the british "class" system cliches.
"The great big orc king... is desperate to destroy all stunties and take away all their homeland. Not because it's a good idea, but because it gives him an excuse to fight..."
"The greenskins are actually soccer hooligans. All they do is wander around, pick up sticks, and try to hit other people. They have no long term plans, no long term concepts. They're a group of soccer thugs on the march on the march to glory. Whereas the dwarves are like the northern working class of england. They live down mines, all they want to do is get drunk. They just want to fight people who call them short. They have no money. They're very proud of their holes in the ground.
The high elves are british posh people. Never done a days work in their lives. Don't understand about doing the washing. [They've] had too much time so they've been able to read lots of la-dee-da-dee books, and get really good with the sword, and do the special magic. And the dark elves are english posh people what have taken drugs. Basically, Lord Byron. They've got money coming out their ears, then they've taken a load of opium and decided that they run the goddamn world and can have it any way they want.
... And Chaos is humans that have been totally corrupted. Tentacles.. crab-claws.. extra eyes.. horns.. Some people get confused and say 'Oh I see, Chaos is like the devil.' Nononono it's not fire and brimstone, it's chaos. It's custard falling from the sky. It's an arm that turns into a sword. It's the ability to cut open your arm and mice pour out rather than blood. It's chaos. It's corruption."
good old british "class" system hahaha i am british and i can tell ya im not a soccer hoolagan but i think i would like to play as a greenskin lol
so whats the main diffrence between this game and say.. WoW because i looked at the site lads. and to be honest it looks kinda the same . the video and all!!!!!!!
instead of the orc and the elf its an empire fellah and a chaos dude
All I know is that EA has a horrible track record for making anything innovative. Just rehash and squeeze money out of expansions that make no common sense and destroy games that people love. *cough Ultima Online cough*
hmmm the man has a point. ive never played Ultima Online BUT i do see alot of EA expansions for things that arent even needed. like the sims! there still expansioning that its maaad!

I mean, I loved Dark Age of Camelot for a long time. But I fear that WAR went down the path that SOE took SWG. It's just going to be an unoriginal pos. It will be popular but not WoW fanatical everyone you know plays popular.
SWG used to be such a dynamic and living online world... sigh.... Speaking of it makes me hate SOE so very badly...
Sorry kinda got a little off track there. Anyways, short answer - Mythic good... EA bad... EA more bad than Mythic good = Thumbs down, sadly. I'd really love to see them prove me wrong tho and EARN some respect from me. Even if it is just a little.
I'd really prefer to see them open more than just the 3 races on the Chaos side ... get them closer to the original lore. But, I can understand the need to keep things more balanced for gameplay reasons.
I like the fact that it isn't all flowers and pretty faces on the women nor is it all one-sided with good looking types on the "good" side and misshapen hulks on the "bad" side. We could go farther down the road and discuss the lack of clothing on female models in most MMOs, but I know that horse has been beaten far past dead.
I like the graphics so far, I'm really hoping the gameplay follows suit. And most of all, I'm hoping the lore the dev team says they are relying on is stuck to. Warhammer provides a great backstory, and I think it will provide a great game experience. We'll see how it goes ...
I just know the ugliest thing from WoW was female trolls... and I dont see the dwarfs as pretty. But the gnomes were a great laugh lol. Besides If the content of the game and the mechanics are done right who cares what you look like. If games like Lineage can be successful with everyone looking pretty much the same, it will boil down to is it a good game or a not so good game.

high elves and dark elves will hopefully be roughly equal.
Just my thoughts.

*For the Emperor*
Half the people in this thread are forgetting about the Dark Elves.
Go watch the trailer again. See that chick in the leather bikini? Dark Elf.
If you wanna be evil and have a "pretty" looking character, there you go.
