Its Dwarves+Empire (nicer humans)+High Elves V Greenskins (Orcs/Goblins)+Chaos(not so nice human types)+Dark Elves

2 factions, any race cant fight any race. Dwarves and Empire and High Elves are Order faction, and Greenskins, Chaos and Dark Elves are Destruction faction. Its Order v Destruction

And I will be a goblin shaman

actually any race can fight any race. Right form the start if you knew the map you could walk across to where other races are fighting. i read that in the FAQW

Tombstone · 29 Jan 2008 at 18:27

No they cant, at least I certainly am not able to fight another goblin with my goblin in beta. Yes I can fight anyone in order, but I cant fight anyone in destruction

MumboJumbo · 29 Jan 2008 at 19:55

I was talkign about only being stuck as eg empire vs chaos. When empire can fight any of the destruction.

I know order cant fight order. that would be silly.

Q) Can you attack enemy races other than that of your racial pairing? Ex. Can Greenskins go over and bash some Elves? If so, how soon can I do it?
A) Yes, very early on. Almost immediately.

If you know your way around the game, you can run through the starter areas to the first warcamp and travel from there to your capital city. From your capital city, you can travel to your friend's warcamp and run down to his starting area. For the more patient types, by playing through the start

Ah yes, that can happen, it was where you said "actually any race can fight any other race", which would make it a FFA pvp game, which of course it isnt. Had you said any race in a faction can fight any race in the other faction I would have understood

MumboJumbo · 29 Jan 2008 at 20:12

I wonder how it will work though.

If im chaos, does that mean dark elfs can come turn up at the humans towns and help me kill people?

Tombstone · 29 Jan 2008 at 20:23

In a word, yes

MumboJumbo · 29 Jan 2008 at 20:47

mmm and i wonder if you wioll get lots of T3 and 4 players in t1 and 2 which would make it hard for new players.

Tombstone · 29 Jan 2008 at 21:06

Nope, because if players are too high for an area ,they are automatically turned into chickens so cant go round bumping off lower players

MumboJumbo · 29 Jan 2008 at 21:08

Intresting. What do you recon would happen if i aws chaos and went to dark elf territory and died. Would i spawn back at chaos? that would be rather annoying.

Tombstone · 29 Jan 2008 at 21:24

No you wouldnt spawn back at chaos

MumboJumbo · 29 Jan 2008 at 21:46

would you spawn in like the nearest town?

I hope there is loads of beasts that you can level up against as well and collect valuble items.

Tombstone · 29 Jan 2008 at 21:50

Expect bind points, similar to other MMOs, where you respawn back at your last bind point.

MumboJumbo · 29 Jan 2008 at 23:24

sounsd cool. rthink id enjoy goign into other relms instead of being in my own.

the way the game mechanic works is very similar to DAoC if you've played that. Beta testing is still underway and is currently in a hiatus. I wouldn't expect this game to be out until at least June/July at the earliest.

I actually have a monetary bet on a November/December release.

I wish it would come out sooner need something to play that isn't WoW got so bored of that after 2 years lol

roid · 4 Feb 2008 at 19:01

Damn you guys making us jealous at those that were lucky enough to get into the beta. And shame on the guy that gave his away!

I severely doubt it..... I've been keeping a very close eye on this and every feature and thing I've seen looks and sounds brilliant..... I've not seen or heard one thing thats made me think "Hmmmm that sounds a bit iffy"

I bloody hope it will be sooner than that........ in the lastest podcast they told you what you got in the collectors edition of the game but the marketing department made them blank it out.

Surely if they have decided on whats going to be in the box and come up with artwork for the box etc etc it cant be that far away?
