Gentlemen...
THE KING
HAS RETURNED
>>322091217
wtf is that gay looking shit
>>322091217
this game had such potential. but its launch was completely ruined by absolutely abysmal optimization. it looked worse than wow yet required a rig 3x as powerful to run decently. back then i ran wow fine on a high pop server. yet warhammer i was stuck at 17-25fps if i was lucky.

>The King has returned
The game died rightfully, just because you are a Warhammerfag doesn't allow you to skip all the flaws it had ranging from the retarded 2 Faction RvR (should have been 3 Factions which would have allevitated the loss in subs, the reason so many left was fucked up faction balance that ended with people not experiencing lot of content)
Oh man, that game had every opportunity to be wow killer but fell flat on its face.
I was especially mad when I heard the rumor that the lead development guy put Chaos at a not huge but significant handicap in balance because he arbitrarily liked the other side better, though I could be wrong that was a word of mouth rumor. I never checked into THAT topic myself but I did check into how Chaos was under balanced to compete in pvp and no one was bothering to fix it.

>I was especially mad when I heard the rumor that the lead development guy put Chaos at a not huge but significant handicap in balance because he arbitrarily liked the other side better
It was good thing he did that but in the end didn't help because the balance was still horribly skewed towards Chaos instead of Order. There were few servers (on EU at least) that actually had Order dominance and even fewer servers that had balanced factions.
what is this dig dug?
>>322091217
This had some of the funniest low level PvP in a while.
The Mage class was insanely fun, and Warrior Priest is still the best designed PvP Pally ever.
>>322092531
Really? Interesting. I didn't stick around for the end though. Far from it, probably gave it a few months tops and just said fuck it went back to wow or whatever. I had better games to waste my time on.
>Balanced
NOPE
>competitive
NOPE
>fun
YUP
this game was this shit
>mfw literally blocking an entire warband of people from entering a keep as a black orc by just standing in the doorway with 20 healers backing you
>when you backlash and kill yourself as a brightwizard
>>322092891
It's the reason why man left the game in the first place after the initial drop of subscribers. Imagine being forced to see your capital fall into Chaos hands 24/7 and the enemy laughing in your face because they absolutely overgear you since they are the only ones that have access to any good high-end gear that drop from City Raids.

>When you are a Warrior Priest and beat the shit out of everyone and everything while healing yourself
My first MMO was Warhammer online,
I've still got the collectors edition sitting on my self.
It could have been so much

>when you're a borc and punt your ass off the ledge into the lava in that one volcano Battlefront
Why care now when they made the better PvP in ESO instead.

I've been thinking of buying, sell me on it as a WAR fan

That Lion is fucking overpowered with his armor debuff.
>>322093773
>that fucking pounce bullshit where the cat stunned you and ate your face
>>322093773
You picked one of 4 good order classes, stick to it so we can start winning.

>Go behind him and push the Halberd in his ass
God this class was so much fun and not a useless piece of shit.
Fuck Witch Elves though with their stuns.
>>322093949
I remember when the Knights of the Blazing Sun were added and made everyone butthurt with their Thorn Aura that killed everyone that attacked them.
>everyone having a grand ole time
>Magus shows up with his Sorc bitch
>he sucks in everyone
>EVERYONE dies
>EVERYOONNEE DIES
>>322094215
Seems like Warhammer Online dying was also the canon for Warhammer Fantasy
>>322091217
Did they work out the emulation or what?
>>322091217
Oh boy I can't wait to get stuck in the ground for no reason and get 1 shot by BS classes that never get nerfed
>Be Ironbreaker
>Play pvp in TorAnroc
>Pushing literally fucking everyone into the lava, cackling maniacally and getting top scores left and right.
It should be illegal to have that much fun, I literally cried when I leveled to the next bracket and couldn't play that anymore.
Is that still a thing? can I make people ragequit and uninstall in this private server? or has the magic of IB died with the updates?
>>322091217
>the class "balance"
>all of the classes that are useless and receive no tuning whatsoever
>the horrible game engine that runs like shit regardless of computer specs
>movement and actions feel clunky as shit due to shitty engine
>the lack of promised content
>the faction imbalance
There is a reason why WAR died.

>me and my bro buy this game
>expecting epicness
>he wants to play PvP server because his mom wouldn't let him be hardcore
>point out that PvE has PvP battlegrounds that will probably be a hell of a lot more fun than getting one shot by some autist 30 levels higher than you
>he promises me that won't happen
>first time out of noob area
>get one shot by an autist that was level 40 by like day 2
>the king
>literally bugged shit: the private server
found the fucking shitter who never played it past the starting zones
If this is f2p I'll give it another shot. Loved the shit out of its PvP back in the day, seven with all its flaws.
Except if I need fucking Origin, ofc.
>>322095886
Didn't you get transformed into a chicken if you entered a much lower area?
>buy on release
>be excited
>cant decide on a class
>keep on making alts after alts after alts
>end up with dozens of characters in the 10s
fuck this game was hell for an altoholic.
Never got past level 20 and played for months
And its always like this with every mmo.
I need help
>>322095968
The game is dead, theres a private server which is in "alpha"
guys in charge seem like they're serious about it
>>322096071
I thought that was only if you tried to gank low levels. I think you could travel in the areas safely enough but would become a chicken if you actually tried to kill anyone too low.
>>322096218
Man, city of heroes destroyed me as an altoholic. I lost count of how many characters I ran through, and only a handful ever made it to max for that hami raiding... I regret I missed out on warhammer online, because coh's pvp wasn't... great.
>>322091217
WAR still manages to amaze me with how ugly it is.
All the textures are so muddy and blurry, it's revolting.
>>322096605
>City of Heroes
TRIGGERED
Why, man?
>>322091217
Lets focus all our time on stupid public quests that where only relevant for a couple of weeks after release! Where are the cities, classes and professions we promised? Whoops! Class balance? Nah we are fine with 2 classes dominating everyone! Hello melee classes you say you are completely useless? Oh well!
Unless they are going to devote their time to completely reworking the game it's going to be just as shit as WAR was when it died.
>>322091217
Been playing for a few months already. Best MMO. Unfortunately I'm tired of MMOs at the moment.
>>322096883
I..I didn't mean to.. sorry anon..I miss patrolling the city
