Warhammer Online

[MrLonghair]

Giving this a bump.

Is there a /follow command in WAR, is there also an /assist and-or /focus, that's what we need to know. That's what I need to know actually, since the preorders for the CE officially start Tuesday or Wednesday


Say what you will about Warhammer Online, can't deny that it's going to be a breath of fresh air from World of Warcraft.

Im in beta, and cant really confirm or deny any specifics, however, I can assure you, multiboxing will be as easy as wow.

Could use a bit of support on that link http://www.warhammeralliance.com/for...454#post732454 just went from a nice casual debate to all out war on boxers

I'll help out there, and thanks. I'm going to order two CE the moment the best shop in town lets me.

Im not sure what happened in the month since I stopped viewing that thread, they went from being slightly receptive and good points to being a bunch of haters with no reasons other than "You suck!"

I just read the last few pages. I admire you for talking to them so patiently but I think it's futile. They look at this in terms of persons. They see "me the person with one toon" vs. "you the person with several toons," and they think the discrepancy is unfair. You on the other hand look at it in terms of toons. Your toons are a group like any other, so what's the problem?

I don't see any way to resolve this disagreement because there's nothing true or false about the choice of perspective. They are looking at the situation from one angle and you're looking from another. If we look at it from their perspective, then they're right that multilogging is a form of inequality, and since they believe that inequality is unfair, their conclusion is unavoidable. But if we look at the situation from your point of view, from the perspective of the toons, then you're right and there's nothing wrong with it.

This disagreement reminds me of certain political debates between liberals and conservatives. Many liberals are deeply troubled by any form of inequality. Some of them believe, for example, that government should provide equal medical care to everyone and that rich people should be prohibited from buying extra. I believe this is the law in some countries, or something very close to it is the law. Other people say, wait, you have no right to prohibit me from buying extra medical care if I can afford it because my purchase has no effect on you.

WAR will not have the advanced UI, macro and scripting features that WoW has, which is a good thing, less room for abuse.

Anyone else think this is not a selling point for WAR? After playing WoW for a good long time, I've started to get the distinct impression that whatever game comes along to replace WoW will, as a necessity, have to have a reasonably customizable UI. Think about it, each of you. How many people do you know that play WoW without any customization to the UI? Hell, I had at least 10 addons before my first character got to level 10, no exaggerations. Multiboxing or not, the customizable interface in WoW is revolutionary.

Tehtsuo,

Whoever wrote that is merely a forum troll with no real insight on the mechanics of the game and is simply spamming what they believe as reality.

You are right, it would be stupid of WAR to devolve from existing UIs and they won't.

I'm sure the WAR gameplay/UI mechanics will be very similar to WoW. They would be quite foolish to not copy at list a portion of such a popular game.

What's the outlook? Is there a /follow functionality? Does it look like it can be easily multiboxed?

I'm not in the beta, so I can neither confirm nor refute that the /follow command is in the game, currently.

I can tell you though that the developers are/is putting it in.

With this command feature, it leads me to believe that they (EA/Mythic) tacitly consent to multiple account ownership and therefore multiboxing.

Hope that helps.

There's a reason why there isn't an "Official" Waaagh forum.
