WAR (Warhammer Online)

NOw that we have 2 new careers (Thanks Mythic, keep em comin) I woticed that a lot more players were playing KoTBS than the BG.

Anyone think it will help to even out the sides? Will players not stick with KoTBS and return to other sides/careers?

Just wondering
 

After yesterdays wonderfully stupid NERFING of BW's i doubt it will help any. Alot of us are considering rolling WE's now if we dont quit all together.

Yeh, smart move there genius....because of course, things will never change and Mythic might not ever change the changes it just made. Logic is fun!

It seems to me that lots of players decided to try the new classes but i really dont see how that changes the order/destruction pop.  Most everyone i know who tried them are trying the one for the side they play already.  I am encourage by the balancing that mythic has been trying with player classes and it amzes me depending on which side you are on players seem to complain about the strength of the other sides classes.  I think most of it comes down to how well the player truly plays there chars and i dont see why everyone complaigns so much about rebalances the game has bairly been out and it takes a good while to find a true balance between the classes. Also i have think that it must be your server that has a low order pop because mine badlands seems to have a good populataion for both sides.  Give the game time to get a good balance and if you dont have the patience then you really should not get any new mmo since it takes months to get the proper balance  and will always be a work in progress

Not all people have blind faith in others.

As for the original topic, no, KotBS will not help Order in the long run.  You'll have many now, just curious about the class, but it will not help Order by itself in the long run.

the two new tank clasess made a huge difference in the sc/rvr dynamic.  We see big changes in the way things are played out allready, and I didn;t even see any enw clasess in tier 4 yet.

Yeah, Guildwars have people working on that all the time, and had for the last 4 years, and still they are finding small imbalances (It is however the only well balanced game I played ever).

Besides all classes don't have to be perfectly balanced to eachother, the important thing is that both sides needs to be good balanced to eachother.

If you can't stand imbalanced PvP you should either start to play Guildwars, try FPS games or wait until the game is a year old. And if they raise the levelcap it starts all over again (but just for the new 10 or so levels, now it is all levels), just look at Wow now.

It would have helped in release. Now, it may have some effect, but very little.  Despite Mark's claims, Mythic does not know how to run an MMORPG and they have little understanding of their playerbase.

If alot of hardcore players love the KotBS then it would make a lvl of difference bcos you would most likely see them in T4 within a few weeks. I'm definitely going to be rolling one and i'm sure i'm going to have fun.

Yes KOTBS will help order. It has similar mechanics to the chosen tanks (which is a very popular tank). Also human is the most popular order race. I have already seen several KOTBS in tier 1 and 2 from heavy metal. If you look at what order needs most in tier 4 its tanks. KOTBS will be a great addition.
