Warhammer's 1.2 patch to go live March 3, 2009

Clearly you don't know why they're making 2 new classes, do you? It's called game balance, these two new classes should hopefully achieve that.

Every single race has four classes, except for Dwarves and Greenskins. IIRC, both don't have any Melee DPS classes but both have a class designed for Tank, Ranged DPS and Healing.

This patch sounds pretty sweet, I've only just started playing WAR and I already like it. I can't really rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 because I would like to get past Tier 2 first.

But I do find it a bad idea for Mythic to release a date when they're releasing the patch, because guess what Blizzard will do? They will put their "good marketing strategies" into effect and now Patch 3.1 of WoW will release before Patch 1.2 of WAR.

And can you blame them? It IS good marketing for them to do that, and Mythic have themselves to blame. So in the future, they should really hold off from announcing a patch's release date until it's actually released. Because no other MMO can release a patch earlier then, because they wouldn't have known when to.

On a more off-topic note. I am waiting around for Star Wars: The Old Republic.

...are you sure you're playing WAR?

Ah, that explains it...you must have just gotten the game this afternoon. ;)

Give it about a week...

hehe, had the game since October 1st and have enjoyed it ever since. I play with a RL friend who enjoys the PvP as well, so it helps having an instant duo/group always.

Admit it, you are jealous of WAR. Just try it for more than a week before you bash it ;)

Urrgh are you serious?
I logged in last night to try and give it another chance (only because I foolishly paid another $15 thinking the new classes had arrived) and on my Zealot it took me over 120sec to kill a *boar* that was four levels below me.
(I also joined five different servers to do a /who count, none of which hit the maximum filtered into 10-lvl bandings lmao)

I immediately Alt-F4'd and uninstalled after being reminded that its THE most boring game I have the misfortune of owning.

Roll on THQ and the WH40k MMO!

Death to WAR! Death to Mythic for daring to charge $15/m for such an incomplete and ill-planned piece of hyperbole!

To the seven of you (rabid fanbois) left on their servers - enjoy!

Ohhhhhh.. I see.
So I have to *use my imagination* to make WAR fun?

Oh! My bad! Silly me! I know I should've expected that, paying $15/m and all.. *blinkblink

Yes, an effortless boar. It should be named 'effortless bore' more like.

So erm, exactly how am I 'unskilled' when I have a finite number of offensive spells (as a Zealot) that number less than 10, that I click on in varying order, until my action points run dry, yet the boar is still 2/3's health?
(At which point I have to rely on the AUTO ATTACK which has a blistering speed of what seems like 3 hits per week - and of course an add will spawn even BEFORE I've finished slooooooowly hitting said effortless boar.. ad infinitum..)

Yep: FUN!

Even if your statement were true, did you read what you wrote?
Typos aside: "I have a Zealot too, I can kill anythink at the same level in 45 secs. "

Hrm so.. 45 secs per kill, when you're 'a good player' such as your obvious self?
I think the ol' "10 seconds of fun" rule got busted there?

I say again:
WAR Stinks. I admit it was fun post launch (scenarios only) but that just kinda-sorta relied on, oh.. PLAYERS. And in case you hadn't noticed, most PVP team games are not subscription based.

No matter what you, or any other proponent of WAR says, the gaming public voted with their wallets and preferences. The vast majority of those who started WAR, stopped WAR a month or two later.

There's a reason for that you know.
*Quack

Amana, stop pissing in his cornflakes. If people like War, let them play. Although I agree, I have a Zealot and it doesn't take me that long to kill anything. Could be a player issue. (L2P?)

Hahaha that is too funny. I will assume you are a very low level Zealot then - and although you chose a class that has the lowest DPS in the game, is meant to group and mainly only heal, it is still possible to kill a boar in under a minute.

If you wanted to be a damage dealing healer, you should have tried playing a Shaman, DoK, an Archmage, or a Warrior Priest.

Most likely you choose a Zealot because "they look cool!" (and they do!). I would just recommend people read up on classes before choosing one.

WAR is not like that one game... you know, the one where almost every class can be the best of whatever they want (dps/heal/tank/blah blah). In WAR there are different paths you can take, but for the most part, each class has its vital roles. Some of those lines are blurred, but there is a "best" healer class for group heals and there is a "best" healer class for single target heals for example. It all depends on what you want to do.

Some of you are so impatient to learn anything new, you don't give anything a fighting chance.

WAR is for those that like PvPing. If killing boars all day is your thing, go play something else - you will seriously have more fun. If you like PvP, you need to get to Tier 3 to even judge the game, and even then, it's just a taste for Tier 4 where you will have much more fun!
