Warhammer Online

It'd be more "Waaa" than "Waaagh" as evident by the warhammeronline.com forums.

While they had an EA slapped infront of their name it's still Mythic that is making WHO.
DAoC were so filled with buffbots that they opened servers where buffing only worked for group members. (Classic servers, no buffs outside of group and excluded content from the second expansion)
And it was perfectly fine to use buffbots as long as no automation was allowed.

Hoping they are going to continue the trend.

I personally ran 3 accounts in DAoC for a long time on the PvE server Gaheris.

I might not start out multiboxing WHO tho, I tend to end up in grind mode easily when running multiple characters, and would miss out on a lot of quests.
So my plan is take 2-3 characters to max level before starting multiboxing, unless it turns out that it's a great boon to be playing several characters right out the gate.

77 minutes of everything, worth watching

I love what they're doing for class mechanics. So many possible combinations for dualboxing, which may or may not be the highest amount of multiboxing possible depending on what they do with the game engine, or?

Definitely excited to see what Warhammer has to offer us dual-boxers.

With out saying anything specific, from what I have seen in beta so far, WAR will be as easy to box as WOW as long as the devs dont go nazi on us.

Should be interesting to see what comes out of EA/Mythic. I'm still gun-shy from DAoC after what they did to all my damn favorite classes.

Zerker = nerfed
Animist = nerfed so badly and so repeatedly that I still limp from it
Runemaster = nerfed
Thane = pre-nerfed (/cry...and I had such high hopes. Shammies in WoW are close to what I wanted out of that char.)
Bonedancer = nerfed

I mean, damn. And for those of you that didn't play it, I'm not talking about nerfs like reducing the damage coefficient on Blizzard by 1 point or some silly shit. I'm talking major, "OMG this spec is seriously not even viable any more" type nerfs.

OK, I'll stop whining now. :P

I really hope they do the WH40k strategy games justice. Those are hella fun and have plots I enjoy. /crosses fingers :whistling:

they buffed BD's again, they are nasty

and some of those classes needed nerfing...hell...zerkers pre la nerf could 2 shot people

That was an interesting read. You seemed to have some semi good discussions with some non boxers. The interesting part I found was while you refrained from the insults there was only one or two non boxers who did the same whilst communicating their points. The rest were <insert disagreement + scum/no lives/hackersbottersexploitszomg/etc> you know.. the usual Still, would read again :) (workftl)

edit: I've never really taken interest in War, thats not to say I dislike it, but after reading some stuff about all out wars it sounds really quite intriguing
double edit: Always too many damn smilies, disable them imo :O

There's a mordred revival going on this weekend, thinking about boxing there with a few friends.

Q: Will there be a /follow or a /stick function in WAR?

A: There will definitely be some form of /follow for allies to use. It's just too useful. (As Designer Josh puts it: "The potential harm done to conga-lines by NOT having it would be immeasurable.")

The /stick command is a matter of debate at this time. (For any readers NOT familiar with MMOs, is in this context meant to describe a close-quarters version of /follow used on enemies to make staying on target easier.) We need to strike a balance between keeping the game fun for people of all different skill levels – but without removing the value of player skill entirely. We will no doubt test many different versions of this function before we make a final decision.

I know there are conflicting quotes out there in the great, dark void that is the internet – but things do change during production, and this answer is the official word as of March 8, 2007. (Yes, these things get written pretty far in advance!)
