Warhammer - Release Date and Open Beta Date

[Sarduci]

Any idea how they are going to distribute the open beta invites if you pre-purchased online from a vendor?

You should have got them if you bought it from one of the partners. I've had mine for about 2 months now from when they first went on sale.

I think Sarduci is referring to the Open Beta Codes, along with the Head Start and Ingame Bonus Codes. If you pre-ordered online, visit www.warhammeronline.com and there is an area somewhere there where it tells you how to get your codes depending on which vendor you bought from.

I am currently downloading the client, but I'm really confused as to what Beta I'm in. It said Closed Beta, but on the same day as I got it, a ton of others got their Collector's Edition Closed Beta Invites. So I dunno....

[quote='Morganti',index.php?page=Thread&postID=9938 1#post99381]BTW, does anyone know if they included /stick????? Melee boxing won't be doable without it! [/quote]



please read all the post in the same page before asking [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=3766']Warhammer Online[/url]
I said there is no /stick there is just /follow and /assist

And MB in ONE pc is actually impossible. because WAR doesnt accept key in an unactive windows.

When open beta pops those are the type of things I'm looking for. It'll also allow me to see how many instances my computers will run and if/what is boxable.

And I STILL want /stick!

I tried 3 instances without problem with a Q9450 but impossible to multibox and maybe not in near future.

[Morganti]

I was still looking at the FAQ when asking about /stick where they say they're undecided on including it.

I'm not planning on playing more than 1 instance of the game per computer right now, but I have 4 computers that will run the game, so I'll use the Multibox app ( http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/index.php/Multibox ) to key broadcast. We shall see.

I have 2 comps, but I'm 100% sure I can software box this game. It's input methods are the exact same as AoC.

I'll play 3 chars, 2 on 1 box, 1 on another.

One thing to consider when multi boxing Warhammer is that it seems most classes have aoe knock backs that will fling your characters very far apart and in different directions. Video evidence would support this.

Once you get identified as a multiboxer I would expect you will have very little success in actually coordinating yourself due to these knock back abilities. It will be like bombed in WoW with no defense against it.

This will obviously diminish the ability to PvP. I don't think there will be many problems in PvE however.

There's PvE in Warhammer? All the reviews I've read say that it's a PvP game with very very little PvE content, especially at end-game.

I expect this game to be another AoC... sad to say.

I sure hope not.

I haven't read one thing that they are changing in WotLK that is exiting to me. And most everthing I've read regarding the classes I play has been dissapiointing. No more rank 1 casting for my mage, no more plus healing gear for my twinked 39 priest, and who cares about spell pushback? If your getting pushback, then you're not playing right... at least that's been the case for my mage/priest.

Everyone I personally know that plays WoW is dreading the expansion and/or quitting (not necessary for WAR). I'm just hoping that WAR will give me my pvp fix, otherwise I'm just gonna go back to HL2: DM, CS: S, and TF2 until I find an MMO that fits my playstyle. What I like about MMO's and pvp is the ability to customize the characters you use to fit your playstyle. WoW is great for that, but the pvp options are too sparce and largely imbalanced.

Anyway, the NDA will be lifting soon (maybe monday) and the open beta is just around the corner; so, I'll soon be able to judge for myself.
