Warhammer/CB (in Off-topic)

Well, I figured since there's a thread for everything else, we need one for Warhammer too.

I'm currently playing on the EU servers Karrag Orrud PVE (Theory, High Elf) Shadow Warrior) and Finuval Plain PVP (Jotun, Chaos Chosen).

Does anyone else here play? The game is kind of confusing so far, lots of things not explained in the game, but it's fun. I really like their scenario-gimmick and for once 'tanking' skills are actually useful in pvp! (An example: single target Taunt makes you do more damage and group target Taunt lowers the damage of affected enemies.)

If you're thinking about joining and have no one to play with, shoot me a message on either server.

i am on sylvania server, just got my mount, woot!

I was seriously considering Warhammer Online, but ultimately decided to go with WoW since I wouldn't be able to play with my brother then, since his laptop can't run Warhammer Online.

From what I've read and seen about the game, it's very good. Probably one of the few MMO's that has the potential to overrun World of Warcraft- I kind of hope it does, in fact.

It has the potential, I think. This is the most stable and contentfilled launch I've experienced and it'll only go up from here. This game will be fantastic in a year and up until then I think there should be plenty to do.

How are the mounts, Dudemus?

i stayed up late getting my last level to get it, so really i have just tooled around altdorf on it so far. i think it is going to be pretty nice though. my elite flyer on wow had me spoiled, but my horse is pretty cool too!

So do weapons and armor have a "set in stone" effectiveness? For example: In WoW, every single weapon with the same name has the exact same effectiveness. Why I'm asking is because I really liked the star wars galaxies setup where players would create weapons and armor and there could be crap gear and awesome gear. Someone could make a high damage but slow firing T21 rifle, and the guy standing next to him could have one that fires twice as fast but does half the damage, or maybe twice as fast with... the same damage! w00h!

Yeah, one of the reasons I didn't care for WoW too much was the way that gear works. I enjoy having that wiggle room like in SWG.

Oh and before you bother looking up SWG up because it sounds cool, save yourself the trouble and forget about it. It has been uber nerfed to hell and back. Sony wanted to steal some of WoW's thunder and screwed the entire community over in one night and lost about 80% of their customers in the process. Now the servers are all but empty...

i played swg as well, i tried it once since the change and couldn't even figure out how to kill the simplest of creatures and logged off after 30 minutes.

as for crafting in warhammer, you cannot at this time make weapons or armor. we are limited now to potions and talismans (much like gems in wow). i am not sure what the plans are for crafting but had heard that some of it was pulled before launch, so ya might check out the web site at www.warhammeronline.com for more info.
