*** Official Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Thread***

You have to remember that your server will probably fill up a bit aswell. Looking at the jersey place chart War is at 3 under Spore and Crysis Warhead, so still lots of people coming into the game.

Judging by people's comments etc I'd reckon about 60 - 70% of them will sub for at least a few months.

Chosen look ace - I have one but can't post a screeny at work.

However there are drawbacks. The PvE is fine. No problems there at all though at level 18 I have too much damage done to me and I can't deal enough damage out to kill.

It may just be me but time will tell. So just a little word of warning. Choose carefully. If you want an evil looking race then Chosen is probably the best.

I thought this with the archmage - you have to adapt although. I played a phoenix gates too for the first time, the play style was far better than the kaine's scenario. People just seemed to work better and the classes gelled.

That adaption never ceases - each level I find it changes..

Is there a common server that OcUK are using? :)
I'm thinking of trying it out as a dwarf...

dorfs are cool :) best looking dorfs in any of the mmorpgs !!! No beards on the females though so you might be out of luck ;) :D

I cranked out an engineer dorf last night. The first couple of levels were a bit painful but got to 6 and it seems like a right laugh ! Gas bombs, gun turrets shot guns, love it !!! :)

I kind found the reverse. Got really hard at lvl 7. I just died all the time. Weak in PvP.

The dwarf/greenskin probably the best area in the game. Really has a distinctive look and feel to it.

Most people here are Destruction on the “Queue Central” server, also known as Azagal.

You did realise that they have a 21 second curse (via gas bomb) and a 10 second 40% snare that is applied from the lvl1 melee attack if target is cursed right?

Weak in pvp at lvl 7 doesnt mean it is weak at lvl 40 unless you have leveled one up to 40? I also dont believe anything I read about 'how good a class is' until i've tried it myself. No way could I tell by lvl 7, that is for sure. All I could tell by lvl 6 was that it was a laugh.

Yeah I like the dorf area art. Damn impressive.

A lot of people still dont realise that imbalanced now doesnt mean imbalanced at 40, the game is designed heavily around endgame pvp.

But the game has to have some balance and fun before 40. You can’t expect people to put up with 39 levels of imbalance otherwise people are never going to get to 40.

I just seemed to hit a brick wall at lvl 7 with my engineer. Also, played a DoK and they were fun at lvl 7 and could eat engineers for breakfast in PvP. My engineer didn’t seem to be able to eat anybody.
 
Engineer is the Magus mirror right?

Most magus I know claim true "glass cannon" status, if you pick a calss that puts out allot of damage but cant take it then you need to have tanks keeping you safe.

Casters shouldnt be able to take damage at all really.

Yes but a casters class should be able to kill but I didn't find that possible.

Exactly, hence the obvious kite ability for the odd chance you might be on a 1v1 pvp situation against a melee (hinted at by my reply to BM) with the eng.
 
Never understood this casters cant take damage logic...

I know its a game, but even so, int of over einstien x 10, standing next to a class with a perfectly good combat shield and they dont bother to copy it!??!!??!?!?

never understood that yet. give us a shield spell at least as good as say the blademaster one. intelligent my right eye..

still, love the bright mage, but love the shadowwarrior and blademaster too, not tried arch mage yet... will try this weekend, they any good before lvl 8's?

a shield spell which brings your caster dps down when active to be inline with a 1h melee shield wearing char, I have no problems with that :D
 
Ranged and casters get LOADS of abilities as you reach higher levels to either stop people getting to you, or reduce the damage when they get there, or knock them away again once they get close. You cant expect to have all the skills straight away....

oh also, a chosen at high(er) level.

They can in other games. A Disc priest in WoW can take a heck of beating while healing itself.

And I hate kiting stuff around in PvP. Learnt that from my hunter in WoW.

Disc priest cant exactly dish out a mage level of damge though can it, sheesh. Yeah it can stand there healing itself over and over and doing mana burn/dispell/fear/reflect shield thing because that is just so entertaining.

Just because you dont like kiting in wow, doesnt mean a shadowwarrior (or any class with kiting ability) is as naff in war does it?

You seem to be forgetting that WaR isnt about 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 5v5 even. If you want that, you need to go play 'World of Instanced Arenas' or 'World of Instanced Battlegrounds' or 'World of Duals Outside Town' :p

tbh imo I think you are playing the wrong game right now, and posting in the wrong thread :p

Yeah exactly. I can hear it now......

"omg this char is not pew pew enough yet and I am rank 5. I'll just need to QQ for a while and roll up another char !'.

Some of the posts here are making me laugh tbh :D
 
I still waiting for them to fix the lag/pathfinding. As a ranged class, its incredibly annoying to watch them run around on the spot, then teleport to you.

Hard to stack abilities too, cooldown/casting doesn't match.

Fix it fix it fix it.

How are people finding level 18-25ish? I've heard the quests run a bit dry around then, and it requires quite a bit of PvP/PQ grinding?
