It's been a few days since i've been on the forums due to playing WAR. But yeah, EA store blows, I got lucky and a friend had an extra open beta key, so I've been trying it out. I did get my open beta key through EA store, but it was like yesterday and the OB is close to being over already. I'm in the middle of trying to get a refund from EA store, but I have a feeling it will be a long process. Actually I don't even know if they processed my order yet since I can't even download the freaking client through their website.....

Anyway, I tried WAR with keyclone and it didn't work. There is a thread here about using some of the other broadcasting programs, and I'll probably check into it later, but for now I'm enjoying melee calsses again. My fav in Wow was a fury warrior, but i stopped playing melee when I started boxing, so it's a breath of fresh air to single box a pvp game.

Warhammer is a fun ass game so far. I've been having a great time leveling up the different classes to around rank 6-8. Just trying out different mechanics. I'm kind of disappointed that the only 'fury warrior' type class is the maurader. I love the idea of witch elves and witch hunters, but i'm not a big fan of the combo point system. The mechanics have been a turn off for a few classes, WH and WE, and i tried black orc but the 1 2 3 sequences seemed cumbersome. I like the scout and maurader because the stances/mutations remind me of a fury warrior, so you can adapt your stance based on the situation. I've avoided the ranged classes like Shaman/arch mage, rune priest/zeolet, squig hunter/engineer/magus.

No experience in big RVR stuff yet, but the low level pvp is fun and fast paced. It's so awesome getting involved in PVP right from the get-go instead of waiting until i'm max level, and then being forced to grind just to be competitive.

Warhammer gets a big :thumbup: from me. It definitely has some issues, and the launch will probably be just as convoluted as any mmo launch, but the I think it'll turn out to be a really solid game. I have hope for the future of Mmorpgs now, before i tried the OB I was convinced that it would flop and then we'd see no real competition for Wow. If warhammer makes it, then it'll pave the way for other companies to try and compete, thereby giving us more choices as consumers. I'm excited for the genre again.
