One thing I noticed is the fact that you won't have any choices of pets or anything, simply a limited customizable Lion.
Many people find the idea of a permanent pet that grows with you to be very appealing.
Horses for courses mate.
In essence WoW pets grow with you as well as their size increases as you level, although it's not as visual as the WAr version of course.
I kinda agree with him though, I like being able to pick my own pet rather than being stuck with a single choice. That said, It wouldn't fit the class at all, so alas ^^
Yeah, really. Lets make the White LION...again, the White LION...class be able to tame a wolf, or an alien insect pet with four legs that comes from an extra-dimensional realm called Outside-land. Lol I swear some people have to pick up on the most obvious things and make themselves look like morons. Anyways, I'm not too interested in this class...but I plan to roll almost all of them at least once .
I'll give you some credit Pheace, your last sentence saved you hehe.
-------------------------------------- A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"
At this point Mythic should have real screenshots, in-game video etc of the new whitelion class.
WAR will not come out in Q4 2008. It's still far from complete. BUT it will probably come out, no doubt.
Just not in 2008
The game world is built and ready to go! This year has basically been heavy testing of all the classes and making sure they're all balanced well, and final testing of some of the areas and City Sieging!
I hope you are right. Cause the majority of public vids of WAR are just illustrated. Not being able to show in-game video scares me.
Personally I hope they don't rush the release. Q4 is not a good period to release a game anyway.
AOC brought some new good stuff into the MMO genre, so I think the expectation of WAR is even higher now.
I finally get my true pet class. Hopefully it won't be like WoWs huntards.
exactly the thing I expect and fear.
melee pet class
look at the masterys too >.>
melee won't change if someone is a huntard or not. So you kill from a distance (WoW) or up close and personal (WAR).
Melee will NOT make a difference if it's retarded.
Oh and lore will go out the window within the first 9 months, as in any game ever made. What lore there is, gets ignored as the game progresses.
At least you wont have some lamebrain running around wing clipping you and using concussive shot with no deadzone while he fires arcane shot after arcane shot, ALL THE WHILE having his pet rip you to shreds from behind. Oh and laying some nice traps, can't forget about them!

They're showing us way more gamplay than Age of Conan ever did..all we ever saw of their videos were Tech Videos. To be honest the Podcasts are not about showing 'gameplay' they're about 'discussing' gameplay and careers. If you want gameplay videos that are official you look at the Video of the Month..they've not had one in two months. Mythic's marketing has been carefully planned and while I'd like to see more gameplay videos ... to be honest what game has ever shown us a ton of game play videos before release? Lord of the Rings didn't, WoW didn't, EQ2 didn't, etc. Its just the name of the marketing game.
Hopefuly we'll see some screen shots of the white lion soon but like they've done with all the other classes I wouldn't count on seeing it for atleast two months now that its been officially announced.
btw crusher welcome back we missed your incestant trolling...did your game of choice burn you so you came here to grief us instead or are did you figure it'd be safe to slip back in? Q4 is the perfect time for release its right before the holidays...you know big shopping season and all...WoW & EQ2 both launched in Q4 and did just fine..More than fine in WoW's case. Most Consoles are even released around Q4.
Please Refer to Doom Cat with all conspiracies & evil corporation complaints. He'll give you the simple explination of..WE"RE ALL DOOMED!

Go read about what a White Lion is on the actual Warhammer website...you'll find that the lore already went out the window in favor of a cool mechanic.
Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

I don't see how changing the lions form being used to pull chariots, to having them as personal companions to select Heroes as much of lore gripe, considering there have been many others, which some people would claim to be more aggravating. Remember that GW has approved all of these changes and as far as lore is concerned, whatever they say goes.

Well I live in Europe. WOW was released in february 2005. Anyway, you are talking about something
that happend almost 4 years ago. The MMO market has changed since that. It's more unpredictable.
Games that where released at that time has become very well polished, balanced and include tons
of contents. Now days, when new MMOs are released they are compared to games that have been
out for years. The customers expect to see equal features and alot more.
I'm currently a huge fan of AOC. Funcom didn't really invent anything new. Instead they took the
best features from succesful MMOs and put it in AOC. The PvE side is very good in the game,
but I don't think the PvP side will ever get close to what WAR will offer.
But the fact remains for me. No real in-game screenshots, videos etc make me really worried.
I'm gonna be all over this class. I have dreamed of a durable melee pet class for a long time. I love the multiple critter pet classes also. I'm bored with the typical paper armor DoT dealing pet classes that cannot function in PvP. This class sounds like a very good change from the typical.
The way they describe it to work with a pet, rather then saying GO MY PET, and then doing your routine while he tanks sounds pretty dang good to me!
Also the fact that the lion stays alive even if you die sounds pretty cool to me, makes it so you cant just burn down the player and the lion despawns.

Worried about what? You talk like the game's a living person or something. If you're not convinced, just wait for release. If you're already playing Conan, then I don't see why you should "worry" about WAR if you're also convinced that it will offer a lot more PvP-wise. If in the end it doesn't, you can always wait for the next big MMO, or, easier yet, wait for one of your current games to make the necessary fixes. I believe Conan will get better with time, anyway, so don't "worry". I also believe WAR will deliver, but I'm not betting on it yet... it could turn out to be a piece of crap after all. I believe it won't, but you never know.
I finally get my true pet class. Hopefully it won't be like WoWs huntards.

Games Workshop (creators of Warhammer) have to agree on ANY changes to lore added to the game. They are VERY protective of there IP and i doubt any changes (like space cows falling from the sky) will occur.

If its humorous, I wouldn't put it past GW from allowing it! GW has allowed Mythic to create new content for the IP on many occasion where necessary!

Sounds like a great class. The only thing I loved about WoW was the hunter. Too bad the rest of the game was boring.
