Okay,

Forgive me but many people are asking me why Warhammer is cool.

The following is a link explaining how guilds will function in Warhammer. Watch with extreme caution.

Warhammer Living Guilds.

We await the Benevolent Dictator's Loving response.
 
Warhammer = mostly about pvp and questing?

It is not so much PvP. Especially if WoW is your only PvP experience.

They call it Realm verse Realm. It is large groups of people battling each other on several different fronts. Think more AV but with specific goals involved and team concepts not just zerging and random stuff.

There is also a PvE element to the game as well with dungeons and such. However, the rush or fun comes from epic 50 on 50 battles with your friends. Or taking a keep and raising your Guild's banner above it for all to see.
 
i actually think i like war.. i mean ive always loved the pvp system in wow but it looks great! but i dont think i can handle another addicting game =(

hey icthus can u disclose if there are raids like there in wow? or things that take u like 5 hours to do andu have to be on the whole time? cause it looks great but i have to much on my plate to be playing like i did with wow
 
so, for peeps like me that are pvp goofballs but love big mean bosses to kill and the strategy involved, it might not be a good fit? thinking about letting champoflight have an account there when time is right though.

There appear to be raids of some type, but they are NOT the focus of end game. Rather something extra you can do to acquire items to aid you in the War against the other realm.

The PvP is so different in Warhammer than WoW, it is very difficult to say one way or the other.

It will be a dynamic battle ground rather than scripted encounters. However, there will be strategies to employee during keep takes and such that will be similar to Boss Strats in WoW.
 
I remember reading recently on a public site that at release there will not be any instanced dungeon content that will be 'raid' based. Meaning that the highest end PvE content will be scaled to be very challenging, but limited to a single group of 6. What they plan to incorporate into the PvE game after release is anyone's guess.

There will, however, be raid content for high end RvR which will definitely incorporate PvE elements into it. Think of standard end game RvR as strategic open field group/raid based PvP, but with keeps to attack and defend, siege weapons to build and employ, keep doors and walls to destroy or repel the attackers from, outlying towers to capture in order to gain a strategic advantage in the area, etc. As one side pushes back the other through a series of keep asssaults, they eventually reach the opponent's capital city. They then lay siege to that. Once they breach the walls of the capital, there are a whole slew of PvP and PvE quests and missions that open up. These will support raids, culminating in taking down the opponent's overall leader. Supposedly the best loot in the game comes from these capital city raids, so this is most likely where the raid PvE oriented player will get to strut their stuff.

And the best thing is that there are 3 different fronts all going on at once (Dwarfs vs. Greenskins, Empire vs. Chaos, Dark Elves vs. High Elves). If you're not doing so well on one front, head for another and see if you can get some momentum going there.

But I'd echo Icthus in that RvR >>> WoW PvP. Having played DAoC, also developed by Mythic, RvR is waaaaay more fun and less of a 'grind' than WoW PvP. It's got a TON more variety, too.

And yes, this information is all publicly available. I've done veeeery little PvP in beta so far, and nothing that could properly be called RvR.

Looks pretty cool to me, especially the witch hunter, something about a saber and a pistol, makes me all kinds of giddy
 
What, no druids for Papatoad? I'd think PT would only be happy with a druid with a laser gun attached to its back!

That would be sooooo cool.

True the wow druid is one of the best classes I have ever played or identified with.

But I did have a hunter, On LOTRO I have a guardian, and DAOC I was a Paladin, which in my opinion as humble as it would be *Wink* are the best Paladins ever.



But a Druid, with a shoulder mounted laser gun, now theres something that screams my name!


But I think if and when I try Warhammer, its a witch hunter.
