Playing a warrior priest on Phoenix Throne (RP). I don't RP but I haven't seen anyone RP at all. *shrug*

This is my thoughts too...would rather play WotLK when it comes out..but that is my opinion.

Hopefully Warhammer lasts longer then AoC!

It's not that you'll be required to speak in High English (thees and thous) or anything like that. It's more so that there's recourse against people who make stupid names like IpwnzJoo the Black Orc or something. You're more or less required to stay in line with what your character is as far as naming goes. So, naming a Marauder "Sir Psycho Sexy" wouldn't really fly.

Coincidentally, I'll be rolling a zealot on Phoenix Throne.

Was there a time limit for applying head-start keys or something? I applied my CE head-start key yesterday and couldn't get in at all, I figured I didn't put it in early enough or something but maybe I'm missing something.

imagine that. another pontifex post claiming how warhammer offers "nothing new" and sounds "dead" because nobody was talking in /1 in open beta.

like clockwork.

we get it, you don't like rvr or pvp. go back to wow.

imagine that, another moron troll who wants to complain about my opinions. I didn't mention anything about chat in this thread.
oh, and I don't play WoW.

complaining? more like stating facts about your crying. you mentioned "chat" in numerous other warhammer threads. since you're not even playing, gtfo the thread. see thread title.

oh, like that hasn't been done before. grow up and quit trolling. I mentioned the chat thing in ONE (1, uno, ein) thread. OP asked a question, I answered it with the reason I wasn't playing it. you had to come in all off topic and start bitching about me. the trolling and stalkerish activity done by members of this forum in my threads or in response to my posts needs to fucking stop.

wow, you're still here, troll? you have zero intention to play the game, and have stated you hate the game. gtfo already.

I don't really care either way (about WAR vs. WoW) but you come across as the biggest troll I've ever seen in these forums... and they let you get away with it which is somewhat shocking. When I read your posts I feel like I'm reading the WoW forums.

calling out pve fangirls and putting them in their place doesn't violate any rules :)

continue your crying though. notice who started "trolling" this thread? cough *pontifex* cough. funny how you fail to mention that.

Witch Elf looks hot. Maybe I'll sign up on a RP/Core server just so I can get the name I want.

Uh, no dude, he's right. You're a huge troll who only provokes conflict. You jump down the throat of anyone who has an opinion different from you. Go back to 4 chan maybe?

Can we try and keep things civil and on-topic here; don't want to have to lock the thread.

Thank you.

wrong :) i jump on trolls like pontifex who are either dead wrong with their facts (see "rvr" definition argument in the other warhammer thread), or just plain trolling such as in this thread (he had zero intention to play the game, and didn't list a server, which is what this entire thread is about, and only trolled with his usual warhammer complaints).

like the mod said, stay on topic. :laugh:

Anyone in the headstart care to comment on how the quality is at all? Is it pretty much the same as the last days of open beta, are there any bad bugs or lag or anything?

I tried out the beta, but I don't know how well I like it yet. I have a CE key (friend had an extra) and rolled a new swordmaster yesterday.

I like the public quest and the fact that they can reset within a few minutes. The RVR isn't bad. Some nice loot can be had if you get a good roll on the need/greed/pass option. Too bad the chaos side seem to do better at it or the order teams I got stuck with are just plain inept.
I can't compare to WoW since I never played. I think the last swords & shields MMO I actually tried playing (besides AoC...ugghh) was LineageII.
2 very different games to say the least.
Maybe I haven't played enough War to have it stick to me, but so far and I'm neither overly impressed or underwhelmed.

The lag was there yet playable. I bet that it was due to so many people crammed into the beginning areas. It kind of followed you since everyone was trucking along at the same pace.

you should check your own facts. I did not troll in this thread nor did you have to define RVR to me because I wasn't even in that conversation at all. How is what I said in this thread considered trolling? All I said was that it wasn't bad but it wasn't for me...

i never said you were in the "define RVR" thread. i said trolls like you were. anti-warhammer trolls specifically. feel free to reread my post.

why respond with your anti warhammer opinions (that you've been stating for weeks if not more) in a thread that was meant for which servers / sides warhammer players are choosing? yep.

Just move on man, pontifex goes into threads for pretty much every game and says they suck for some inane reason, it's best just to ignore it.

I have an AMD 3700+ 2GB RAM and 8800GTS (320MB) computer right now. Can anyone with a similar setup comment on how well, or poorly, the game runs? Thank you.

The game will run passably.

You'll probably get performance numbers similar to what you'd get in Oblivion (they use the same engine: Gamebryo).

Warhammer uses the gamebryo engine? I never wouldve known...

should be alright. running 8800gt (512) with 2gb ram... starts to slow down a bit in the open world if i crank anti alias up to 16x.

edit: and that's after i have everything else in WAR cranked to the max (ie, terrain draw distance, shadows)

DAoC does, and I have no expectation that Mythic would adopt something new.
