Warhammer Open Beta

If anyone's gonna be in said game for the Open Beta, I'll be there as Goraillion, the High Elf Swordmaster. Let me know and we can pick a server on the 7th.

Ask Kage, he likes to play lots of things (Except LotRO).

I will be giving the open beta a try also...although I don't know which career yet...I tried a little bit of the rune priest and shadow warrior...I liked the rune priest best...
Let me know which server...

And Eldarak...you're too funny!!!

I played quite a few different careers and I think I am going with the Witch Hunter. Stabbing someone with a sword then shooting them with a pistol made me giggle. Twice.

I don't know which server, but Mad Dog Pass or Mad Dog River or whatever it was caught my eye.

Nothing like an ugly one-eyed elf swinging a huge sword like it was made of paper to think of irony and have fun at the same time. Swordmaster FTW.

OMG a Cage sighting!

To be honest I'd love to try WaR, but I really dislike the whole Warhammer setting, but love the ol' RvR from DAoC.

Hows about we chose an order server and a destruction server. They won`t let you have both on one server. Mad Dog for Order, mount gunbad for destruction.

New server names, how about the pits one for destruction and chrace for order.

Gor,

Are they keeping the same servers for head start and launch...???
I was checking out the populations on the servers and it looks like Tyrion is a popular one for both Order and Destruction...both listed as Full...
I also like the name Crag Mere...

Serenity....

Another consideration is, which servers are open RvR...
I enjoyed the RvR scenarios but am not sure I would want an open free-for-all RvR environment....

They haven`t said yet. All I saw was the RVR areas, but that`s still just the first map.

I created my toons on Mad Dog Pass, just as I said I would.

Cage - Witch Hunter - lvl9 PvE and lvl8 PvP right now.
Kage - Bright Mage - Haven't even logged in.

No destruction. The Destruction population is huge. It is my goal to kill them all.

I went 41 - 1 in my last RvR challenge. Nothing like shooting a dark tank in the face with my pistol and five pumps of absolution

Didn't see that one

Well, I'll put a char on maddog, bright wizard, hopefully called Firabrand. See you there cage. And if anyone wants to try destruction, got to pits of vardock server and look up Thorkal.

I downloaded this the other day and gave it a whirl - it is quite fun. The freshness is there, something I didn't get with AoC beta.

Ah, Mad Dog Pass...cool name...it wasn't available though a few days ago...which is odd because it sounds like it has been around a while based on your all's comments...

Oh well...it's there now!!!
Character is a Dwarf Engineer...Zorr....

So, Bright Wizards rock. Its like a walking nuke. Only downside is self-collateral damage, which gets very annoying after a while.

So the chars are Cage, Firabrand and Zorr. Lets kick but.

I have a Witch Hunter on Mad Dog Pass called Phigh.

The open beta ends on Saturday - Sunday is the pre-order headstart for collectors editions and Tuesday is the headstart for the rest of the pre-order crowd.

Anyone down none-instanced pvp yet. Was doing it last night, and we were owning destruction. So much fun building up combustion, then unleashing x2 crits(600 dmg aprox) on unsuspecting casters.

Hey all. Whilst recovering from an awesome wedding weekend (my brother-in-law) I came down with a nasty sinus infection. Since I was stuck at home, and had the beta download from Kage, I picked up the pre-order and tried it out.

I agree with Phigh, the feel of it is very much like a previous mythic MMO, Dark Ages of Camelot. I haven't got as far as RvR yet, but I expect it will be similar, if not more polished. The feel of the PvE stuff is very WoW-like to me, only with less grind. Of course, I haven't got that far in, so grind may be yet to come. I'm looking forward to their raid and RvR gameplay to spice things up.

My main concern about this MMO - aside from time to play, as usual - is that I'm not at all into the lore of the game. I didn't really play Warhammer much; it was the gaming night I would skip when my other friends would play it. Hopefully, the ability to shoot someone in the face will address any storyline misgivings.

absolution -fire - laugh - repeat. stab someone when the mood strikes you.

I created 2 characters, but only got to play with one because the server crashed. Both on the Mad Dog Pass server.

Invicta, level 4 (almost 5) Witch Hunter
Bero, newly created Dwarven Engineer

This is probably pointless though, considering these all get wiped next week for Early Bird launch.

Open Beta ends on Saturday - I wonder if there will be an End of Beta event, I really enjoyed the one in TR.

Intend of giving Warhammer a try, but I will also be playing LotRO - Warhammer will probably fall to the wayside for a while when Moria comes out.
