Warhammer - Release Date and Open Beta Date

[BobGnarly]

I'm sorry, I'm confused here. Doesn't open beta mean it's "open" to everybody?

After alot of testing I can say that multiboxing in this game while possible will not be overly rewarding.

There is /follow /assist and /aid.
There is a macro system but you cannot write macros to cast spells, only to make use of slash commands, ie the ones above.
Software boxing wont work as far as I can tell, I was using two PC's and my vetra gear.
There is a lot of CC in this game, but more knockbacks etc, that leave you in control of your character but would screw up multiboxing.
There are alot of spell lag/ability lag issues that all seem server side/client side bugs - I have a 15ms ping to my server so its definetly not network latency.

I have cancelled my second CE pre-order and I'm going to just play one account. There are alot of great things about this game and alot of not so great things but its definetly an improvment over DaoC and more interesting to me than WoW.

Just my 2c.

I agree that it's not the easiest thing to multibox in the later stages, but I'm going to have to cancel my second CE box for another reason.

Financial ones. As a result of medical reasons. So I have a EU CE Preorder box with un-used codes right here up for sale, I could arrange some EU player to pay me and I'll pick up the CE for them from the store I got this pre-order kit from, not sure of the price and I cannot take PayPal, this is a GAME store in Sweden. Else I'll just have to leave it up for some random player in town
(PM if interested, I give it until the first day of September until I return it to the shop)


Honestly I don't mind going solo - the unmultiboxables are so much fun! I might end up making a tank, or an awesome awesome Witch Hunter.
