The Engineer sounds great now, and the Chaos magus can summoin demons. I think these will be very popular classes.

Over at Warhammer Alliance ...

Thanks for sharing!

I am in WAR beta, but some of this stuff is new to me, so thanks!

Fall '08 is looking to be very exciting!

I hope that Mythic doesnt pull a Funcom and yank out the RP servers before release with some half-assed excuse...

Made my day, thanks!

Every single one of these articles is pure gold ... good job massively :)

You can't yank before release.  It isn't real until it hits release.

Hahaha instanced 48v 48 sieges, so much for next gen pvp lol.  Numbers just keep falling and falling.  So much for paul barnetts crap on the podcasts about epic and 100's  of players doing sieges.

Guys,

I was reading through this thread and decided to stop lurking and chime in.

Nothing we said has changed about sizes of Capital City battles. Whatever is the "fun" number is the number we will go with. We are still shooting for 75v75 (more likely 72v72), but we would love it to be larger for some of these critical areas. This limit is only in the instanced, contested, Capital City areas though (and of course in our general, instanced scenarios throughout the world 6v6, 12v12 and larger battles do happen).

The video that many have linked here still holds true, though we are definately tweaking and improving the city experience based upon testers feedback and everything is still open to be changed if needed to make it better.

Remember, much of our RvR takes place in the open world and can have pretty large numbers involved. I literally just got done with a 3 hour long fight in beta that had 100v100 testers or more rampaging around Marshes of Madness, capturing objectives, seiging keeps and causing general mayhem. For those concerned, Destruction prevailed and captured the zone

I know this doesn't answer all of your concerns, but at least know that we are aware of them and that we are paying attention to what you guys desire.

So.... the number of participants is still in the air. Mythic wants huge battles that are FUN. Everything else is subordinate to that.

 

Same spin and crap like Funcom did with Age of crap.  Another delay incoming for warhammer me thinks, or they will release it and it will eb another hyped up so called wow kilelr game that neevr was.  These so called next gen wow killer mmos just get more and more ridculous.  Infact warhammers pvp is more instanced based  than wows.

The true words of the misinformed. I guess you missed all the talk about the OPEN RvR zones with keeps and battlefield objectives to be fought over? Maybe you should read the article rather than making incorrect assumptions?

Cheers!
