Not trying to hate the game, but tbh the gameplay feels almost exactly like WoW. The classes feel the same, the environments the same, the races, the feel, the ideology of the actual game's lore, all of it. Not that WAR really had a choice, both WAR and WoW are both exactly the same subjects when it comes right down to every niche possible in the fantasy genre (which aren't many). I just want something different than WoW. The only thing that doesn't remind me of WoW when I'm playing this game is the art style (which I like ALOT about this game) and combat, which in a sense is different but not exactly perfect.

I'm hoping to get into some more RvR in the OB week. The videos make it look like a lot of fun.

I agree when you say its the same. But in my opinion Mythic is doing what Blizzard should have done with the genre. That is RvR, capturable cities and (unique looking) yet the same base classes. How cool would it have been to play as a Troll headhunter or an Undead Necromancer. The only unique classes in WoW were paladin and shaman and look how blizzard handled that. The only thing i dont like is the 2 faction setup. I would have preferred each race/species to have been on there own and alliances the result of player actions. So if you changed servers you might have had totally different battlefronts. *Crosses fingers for expansion pack* 

Warhammer is what World of Warcraft should have been. It is v2.0.

Thanks to OP for posting the video, nice find.

Uhh... what?

I take it you have never leveled a Chosen from 1-40.  Just because it is a more complex class does not mean it's underpowered.  In-fact, I would say that a Chosen being played by someone who actually knows how to play the class will outlast an IB any day.

If Chosen doesn't aura twist, they are only gimping their effectivness.

Well maby im wroung, but there has never been a video out there or any information, what show or tells, what a chosen at all can do what a IB or a WP can do.

And the Chosen are the only class from the dark side that are comperet to this 2 classes. so

damm nice video. and it shows how usefull a denfensive tank class can be - in rvr and pve. i dont see many reasons not to lvl as defensive, if you want to be a tank class ;)

There really is only 1 scenario that I could see where being speced in damage would be better than defense.  That would be if you have a static group & there is already a main tank leading the group.  And, in that case, why are you playing a tank class anyway?

In every other situation, always using sword + board and having a defensive heavy spec is a much better idea.

This goes for all 4 tank classes.

Just FYI, I am going to be an IB in release & will most likely be speced 100% in defense.  (Unless there's some kind of arbitrary cap on my defensive prowess that would  make it more effective to spec in some other way)

The commentary is excellent by Brent, he did an amazing job IMO. I was iffy about WAR really, still plan on waiting.. but i sat through all the Black Orc videos and was thrilled by the RvR stuff, especially since he narrates so well what's going on.

Say what you will, these videos convinced me.

 

EDIT: If this has been posted a lot, my apologies, I just thought the videos are worth a viewing by those who wanna see what the game is like, unbiased.

Thanks for the acknowledgment ;)

And yeha, they are great vids :D

combat is too slow...he beat on that first mob forever, then the mob runs and he chases it forever. he's tossing thrown axes at it and it still didnt die.

You have'nt watch the video properly, that so call first mob is a player, they are doing PvP, So I expect it takes a little more time to kil than a regular mob.
