I love this game. The graphics are aweful, but the gameplay rocks the hell well. And because that is so I want to make a little discrete attempt to give you some insight in the (near-to) daily expierience with WAR. So here we go...
Orcs? Dwarves? Elves of all kind? Chaosbarbarians? Cannons 4 men high? Dim of battle all around ya? Well, you've finally arrived in WARHAMMER Online.
Kinda star-struck I went to character creation and as it is in every MMO I play - I begin to create characters with almost no concept. After creating a Chaos Mage, a Darkelf Sorceror, a Blackorc and a Chaos Marauder, I finally decided that I needed for first-time WHO expierience something in green aka MEAN-GREEN. ;)
Well then, my friend choose to play a Darkelf Disciple of Khaine, so after login my first quest was to get to some flightmaster and get to the same zone. As I had a little closed beta expierience I found my way and got to him in almost no time and nearly Rank 2 because of my repeated entries in "the Book". Ah **** to hell with it, he navigated me with a bunch of maps that google spat out and I got myself nearly killed for several times over! :P
After a couple of quests we joined our first scenario, the dark elf T1 scenario.
And I kicked ass as a tank :) And I loved the style of play, after some serious butchering the enemies concentrated on me and went like "Ohoh there's the big mean Black Orc, coming, FIIIREEEE" and I loved it even more! I think we've von 488 to 132 and I am inclined to think it was in big parts on my account! :P Well, at least I think some big green monster that rushes all the way through your cloth-wearers gives them something to think about!
But my fiery killing spree ended in a Public Quest then (back in PVE of course), when some huuuuge Dragon spwaned and knocked me off with 3 blows or something. Forgot the name but it was quite a sight, for the first things we knocked out weren't even champs and that was a hero! Wtf?!
To be continued...
