    Wren is totally not invited to my birthday party. Rentilius can have his invitation.

    Keeping on topic edit: I fully intend to play IB during the preview weekend, so if nobody is going to do a writeup I could give impressions from whatever I can glean in 72 hours.

    I could give the career the good college try tomorrow, but I'm pretty dead set on Black Orc. I'd like to see how it compares.

    Play a Disciple of Khaine. From the screams of joy I keep hearing over vent from some folks, I hear they're pretty good.

    I was dead set on Black Orc for a long time, but my friend in beta seems pretty insistent that Destro = new Alliance, so I guess we're going Order unless I can convince him of the error of his ways. I know Swordmaster is the BO mirror, but I just can't see playing a poncy elf.

    Travel to the High Elf pairings. While other people don't seem to like it, I plan on levelling there because all of the zones are so pretty.

    I'm really hesitant to say anything in the really slim chance I get caught breaking the NDA or something along those lines (not purposefully trying to break the NDA, for the record), but I have a crazy bird man and a short guy with a big axe. If I'm still around when the NDA is lifted I could do a write-up on the crazy bird man.

    You're not helping...

    Trying to stick to the Sith rule here for WAR, only my main and a single alt (Black Orc and Zealot respectfully). Also I am a weird aesthetic whore and the WP's huge collar looks currently wins over the DoK look. That and I'm afraid I would like DoKs just as much and will bring back my horrible case of altitis.

    Incidently I was just writing a review for one, so I suppose also toss my name under the Disciple for reviews.

    Very true, while doing a PQ with mine I came up with a great reason to play that class.

    "Want to be able to AoE horses while you heal? This career is for you."

    Man, the marauder just kicks ass.

    He doesn't stand up much, so those "Absorb X amount of damage" potions help but without a coordinated group, I basically suicide and create as much havoc as possible.

    Most often this works well. :D

    I sat in a PQ with my Zealot, mostly just healing my ass off like a maniac. I'd pop up an absorb heal every time the ability was ready, HoTs on anyone in range, and the direct heal was going like a machine gun.

    I played the same PQ about a dozen times and came out first every single time. I ended up picking money as my reward for 11 of those, since the reward is identical for the same colour bags.

    Possible slight NDA breakage (probably not though):
    I just want to hear from some high ranked Chosens, I'm currently fighting along side a BO one rank higher than me in RvR and he seems to be able to take alot more damage as well as put out more damage than me... just wondering if this is my imagination or do Chosens come into their own later on? I'm only rank 10

    I have an idea of what the problem might be, but it certainly is under the NDA if it is in fact what I think it is. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

    Yeesh, open beta invites all around, beta weekends, etc. Talk about discouraging that I've not heard a peep out of Mythic even with a CE pre-order entered in their system since March. Bastiches.

    Have you entered your CE Codes into the main account site yet? Not just the Beta Center?

    I hadn't. I have now. I swear that I had no idea :P I never got an email about the main site, and I guess I missed that here. Have the client downloading, and I noticed that on the main account page that I'm registered for the CE Open Beta. So yeah. Does that mean the open beta that starts on 9/7? Or the one that started last week?

    My answer to that question;
    It may be that he got his 10/6 gear. I.E. at rank 10, reputation 6, he went and got his tier2 gear. I did it with my white lion and the difference was amazing. You can get it at any keep you side owns.

    So I've never really had any experience with the Warhammer universe before but the more I read the more I want to know. I'm especially interested in the Chaos gods. Does anyone know of any good resources to learn about all things Chaos? (books or otherwise).

    Yeah, same here. It initially said to check again in 50min, so I Check'd Now and it errored out on me. But I Refreshed my Reservation from the other page about a dozen times and it eventually started the download. Took like 9 hours, but it should be finished now.
