Warhammer Online Q&A

It depends how adventurous they are. There's room for doing a focused PVP experience where it isn't just "tacked on".

However one quest I heard as an example sounded kinda weak (it could be the quest doesn't really exist though and it was just an example), but the evil race runs around the zone chopping the beards of wounded dwarfs while the good players give the wounded dwarfs beer and then the quest resets itself when there's a winner. To me that doesn't describe a meaningful PVP experience, it's just a basic rinse and repeat quest only difference being is that it's competitive. They probably have some more interesting stuff though.

Also I am a little disappointed that haven't heard anything that really makes this a Warhammer MO, where's the cool locations and characters from the Warhammer world, although they do make an effort in the QA to say they really wanted the Warhammer license and will make use of it. And I still prefer the darker art direction from the previous WO game.


Anyway it could be good, at least MOs seem to be growing past the EQ/WoW format.

I'd like this to be good -- the PVP stuff could be great. I never played DOAC but I hear great things.

I hope someone asks them about how they feel about people saying they are stealing WoW's art style (like that Dungeon Runners game from NCSoft). For those who don't know WarCraft is heavily based off the Warhammer universe and Blizzard even admitted this back in the day.

This is the MMO Im holding out for. I loved Camelot. I left, like many others, because I thought the grass was greener in other games, such as WoW.

I've since learned the greatest lore in games and a ton of polish can be ruined by gameplay mechanics. Im not into massive raids or pve really, so WoW eventually became a chore for me.

Camelot really was the perfect MMO for me. It had just enough pve to keep me busy and a pvp endgame.

Im hoping WHO is much of the same, and Im sure Mythic has learned a lot from the mistakes it made with Camelot.

I'm not sure about warhammer as an MMO... to me, Warhammer is about armies squaring off across the battlefield, whether it be above ground, in a dwarven mine/tunnel or at the entrance to the chaos warp... sure it had hero characters... but... a warhammer game where you're all heroes, or just extraordinary soldiers? I'll wait and see... definitely hanging out for the RTS though...

Although... if there's "battlegrounds", where massed armies do duke it out, and the players can turn the tide... that might be interesting... though it may be a case of been there, done that...

I'm actually somewhat positive on this one.

The developers seem really confident, and a lot of their comments are actually interesting and on the mark, rather then being mere empty hype drones.

I think i might have to hold on to my MMORPG negativity and see how this one turns out...

Camelot 2 :p
