WAR (Warhammer Online)

Frankly I rather have a system were you temporarily de-level to the highest rank of that tier level when you enter a lower tier zone. This would easily allow people to play with friends and go back to complete old/new quests/content in the future.

Being able to de-level would slightly reduce numbers in those final tiers, so perhaps they wanted to get people to level their characters up to play with their friends.

We'll have to see how it works out, I really liked the CoH/V sidekick system but perhaps WAR will work without something like that.

I thought that would be a good mechanic too, but it's possible that Mythic intentionally wants to push characters toward the end-game tiers.

People who have proposed the deleveling are also the people who usually want twinking and the ability to turn of xp gain.  They are just trying to run around that system.  Chicken mechanic is great.

Yeah, pretty much, cause even de-leveling to the highest lvl of that tier u could still cause quite a disruption to other players and ruin their enjoyment.  I love the chicken rule, and it fits with the humor of the game!

The chicken thing is so silly. It goes against what Warhammer stands for, and It is just a feature to satisfy all the whiners.

It doesn't go against what "Warhammer stands for."  Warhammer is replete with humor.

 

I like the chicken rule, I hope it stays, and I hope that I will be a part of killing a 100 chicken raid and also be a part of a 100 chicken raid.  Sounds like great fun!

In a game that is level based and item centric it would be very stupid to have a PK system.  In order to be fun a player needs to have a chance at surviving an encounter which doesn't happen when you can 1 or 2 hit a guy.  PKing has a place in games but not these kinds of games.

As far as the chicken raiding goes: did EA Mythic say that you'll be able to do HP damage as a chicken?

1HP DMG I believe!  So its gonna be hilarious seeing mass chicken raids in low tiers trying to kill ppl!

Does dying as a chicken effect the victory points in the RvR campaign?

No you need to be identified as a coward if you go around being a punk, and a mandatory chicken suit's a great idea. 

They should add that into the Constitution.  Tie up lawless d-bags in the town square in chicken suits, so we can throw eggs and rocks, point fingers and laugh at them.

I truly look forward to the day that a large Alliance of guilds gets bored and takes 500 or so top line folks to the newbie zone for a massive flockstyle gankfest. It will be the funniest thing ever seen. Especially if its in the Tome of Knowledge to have a certain number of kills in chicken form.

Youre actually turned into a chicken if you gank lowbies? Any other penalties?
