We should get a channel or two going once the servers go up, to answer noob questions or just general cocksdickslol action. The command to join a chat channel is /chan <channel name>.
I preordered and set up an account on Wednesday, and got into the preview weekend so it's at least worth a shot.
Only the first 50k sign ups got in for the PW, I doubt there is any spots left. The only thing you'll be getting with preordering now is a spot on the OB (Sept 7th), Headstart and a few ingame items.
I'd guess because it wasn't questions anymore, mostly discussion. And the mods figured we don't actually need 2 WAR threads that serve the same purpose.
I thought you had enough points at the highest level to go all the way down two mastery trees, is that incorrect?
Not all the way down. Partially down. You get twenty five points overall and it takes fifteen to max a path with out spending anything on tactics or skills. It could still be pretty effective speccing eleven or ten in both, and grabbing a few skills or tactics depending on the lines. I do not know if that will be competitive, and it's really only achievable late game (as you start getting points faster in tier four).

...And the Open Beta starts tomorrow, and the NDA is lifted.

So I hear the goblin shaman has epic knockback stuff. Tell me more.
They have a ranged aoe knockback. Basically you shoot it off against a crowd and 5 of them go flying back
You also have another AoE knockback called "eeeek", and it makes you fly off in a random direction, with every enemy around you also getting tossed randomly. So it's like a crazy escape button.
There will never be a day without "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" being spammed in chat.
Ever.
Especially on the rp servers, where you will find large groups of Greenskins yelling over each other in an effort to reach a consensus on the appropriate number of capital letters and exclamation points to be expended on a casual waagh while they bash Stuntiez into the ground.
This preview should be madness, I can't wait to see what RvR looks like with the massive numbers of people that are going to be playing this weekend.
The early Tier 1 PQs and stuff should be... interesting. In that they'll be massively overpopulated.
I don't know if WAR does the "slideshow" thing that DAoC always did, but I imagine things will be a little laggy.
I also predict lots, and lots, and lots of random "Waaagh!" shouting in the Greenskin zones.
Well, they have 23 servers, so hopefully it won't be too bad. But there are multiple PQs per zone so I have faith. Plus I think the general chaos that will insue will be rather exciting and even lend more to the being in the middle of a chaotic battle atmosphere.

Yeah, work is going to kill me, knowing that Warhammer is online and I'm not in, and my new Deathadder and Icemat are waiting for me on my front doorstep. If there was ever a day to call in sick, this would be it, but it just so happens we have a big project happening today and Monday so I can't not be there.
At least my weekend should be free and full of WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

I'm off tomorrow so I can play all day. :winky:
Because goddamnit I've always wanted to talk like a British soccer hooligan with a penchant for axes.
Should I just wait until it's released?
Preordering right now will likely yield a Standard Edition box, which has an Open Beta preorder code. Open Beta begins on the 7th of September.
Where'd you get it from?

If you've get numbers set up in a sort of table, use the (code) tags.
For future reference, it's fantastic for giant ASCII penises.
Thanks for the help but my failure has killed the timing of the joke I was trying to pull off.

There might be a third knockback but I'm not sure
I'm guessing the folks that have characters there already are just assuming they'll get those names? As they obviously can't be playing yet.
I will be sitting here tapping my footo patiently until I see the servers are up, then I will try to not get a speeding ticket racing home
