Hopefully we'll get Slayers instead of Hammerers. KoBS and Black Guard would be fine to leave in, assuming their mechanic is interesting. It'd also be nice to replace Choppas, as there wasn't a lot to distinguish them thematically from Black Orcs aside from 'One has a huge choppa and maybe a shield, the other has TWO choppas!' Admittedly, I can't think of anything that'd be good to replace them with.

No, the deleted classes won't be coming back that soon.

What I mean is that Sorceresses, Shadow Hunters and Bright Wizards are all pretty pumped up from the last pass while Chosen are outshining Black Orcs. The idea now is to pump up the melees or at least balance them.

I am starting to get a hang of this game.
I thought the CE stuff was going to be in since it says something about something.. NM. Was just a question and thankfully you all know enough to answer then for me.

One question I havent found an answer to is, are last names going the be part of the process or is it going to be one name. Been seeing some typical phrase names as I play

random questions since i have no real imput on the game other then it is a good game.

EB Games Canada - $79.99

EB Games USA - $49.99

Time to not preorder it and have my relatives pick it up for me. Why on earth Mythic doesn't make a downloadable version on their site so they can get all $50 per person is beyond me.

Since when is it a developer's responsibility to provide download outlets of their product? I laugh at your misfortune.

Why the fuck would you care about the boxed software? And just have it delivered to your workplace, you can pick it up at the end of your shift.

Witch Elf, obv.

There are a heap of gender-specific careers in the game...oddly, all of them are Destruction side.

Witch Elves can only be female.
Chosen and Marauders can only be male.
Greenskins are all male.

Yeah, so you brought tier 2 RR items to a tier 1 scenario, big whoop. :jerkbag:

So Greenskins are completely the most fun to play in this game, and I've tried all the classes available in the weekend preview. Mostly Dest, though, because I prefer it. Greenskins, however, are the most fun to play and quest and RvR with.

The Devs are saying that the patch they put in for the preview weekend broke NPC and Pet pathing/AI, so that's to be fixed soon, top of the priority list.

My first character was a marauder and it really bothers me that I'm freakin melee dps and I can't kill a warrior priest, which is a healer. It's kind of an insult.

Though I do like if you enter a BG that you're too low level for, it bumps you up to a higher effective level so you stand a better chance. You're still stuck with your lower level powers and gear, but you have a lot more hit points. hah

I have to admit I'm beginning to question the intelligence of the Dest players, though, since every BG I was in, the Order owned hard and were the top 10 to 12 in kills and renown gained every time. It didn't help that what few healers we got were more interested in nuking/killing than healing teammates. I guess it's hard to expect teamwork from something that identifies with Chaos. Pfft. haha

Very few people on Dest side play a support class to actually support others. DoK is to look cool with two swords. Shaman is to blast people. Zealots (the whopping 3 I've seen) are for debuffs.

There are a few issues in RvR that need work, yes.

-Twinking is possible since you can get the higher levels of RR gear and then go to lower-level scenarios.

-Bright Wizards, Engineers and Ironbreakers are significantly more powerful than their counterparts.

You need to embolden the word significantly, there. Insanity. I, with one other Engineer, was able to solo/two-man the first Dwarf PQ. At level 5-6. Crazy. And fighting against an Ironbreaker is a lesson in futility.

This.

Makes it very tempting to roll Order side.

If I'm rolling Destruction, I'm rolling a Black Orc. If I'm rolling Order, it'll be a Runepriest or a Warrior Priest.
