I have been wondering how class are in WarHammer. Are there any sandbox abilities or are you locked in to a talent tree like WoW?
Can you build your own toon or do you have to be a certain class like Healer only, or Melee only?
*sniff* I miss old SWG P.

Warhammer uses a class system like EQ, DAoC, and WoW. You pick your class which has a defined role, DPS, TANK, HEALER. As you level you can use Mastery points to alter the direction of the class more towards preset conditions in that Role. Everything however is contained and laid out to an extent.
No sandbox here, you might want to have a look at Dark Fall Online, I they are shooting for a skill based character creation which is open ended, but i'm not sure.
No sandbox there? There's no RPG in the MMORPG word. Its diablo-online hack'n slash with no travel, no immersion. If you're not running from instance to instance (scenerios) then you fight the same mobs with a couple of other random guys with whom you have no communiaction whatsoever (public quests) or you do extremly unbalanced open PvP which rellies on server population and not on skill of any player. This game should not even be on this website.
He fails to mention the tactic slots and morale abilities, which are both customizable (As in what combination of both you will use).

Your right. Tactics & Morale abilities can help push the role of your class a bit more but in the end your still restricted by the class choice. A Healer will always be a healer first for example. No matter how much you push that wall you never really break it down and move over. Now Warrior Priests & Disciples of Khaine are a bit wavy given that the damage they inflict plays a role in the heals they can deliver but still.
Not trying to be negative, just telling the truth. Overall each class is unique enough that you will fill a group role a bit differently than other players of the Same Role. For example a Shadow Warrior can be focused on short to medium ranged combat, extreme range combat, or melee. While each of these roles play differently, in the end they are still DPS.
LOL this thread is nice for one thing: it shows how a person can be constructive or a troll.
Whitelight23 explained the person what this game is (yes, as someone else said Whitelight23 missed some features but I think because he wanted to be clear and direct).
Anyway, Whitelight23 tried to explain what the game is and what it is not. He even gave info about other game that the OP might want to look at. He didnt bash any game. He didnt say if one game is better or worst. He just tried to be construtive, imo.
In the other side, Steelrose showed he is ignorant or that he is just trying to misslead the OP with false information.
For example, implying that WAR is not a MMORPG, that its heavy instanced, that there is no traveling, that you dont require skills to play the game. All plain lies or just ignorance speaking. To finish the trolling post, Steelrose finished saying this game shouldnt even be here. Who knows why? Maybe MMORPG.com should ask Steelrose which games deserve the right to be in this site LOL
Two posts: one contructive and the other one a missleading trolling post.
