[Official] Warhammer Online


Recommended Posts

Been looking into this game, but I have some questions, wondering if you guys can help me out...

How much coin will it cost on the 18th ( tomorrow ) for USA?

Whatever the standard price is for new games in your area, that's what it'll be. But, like most MMOs WAR will require a monthly subscription of about $15 US a month (the first month is free).

The level cap is 40, correct?

Yes. Character rank (level) cap is 40. There are also Renown Ranks (RvR ranks) which are separate from regular character ranks that you can level by participating in RvR. RRs are capped at 80 (and the word from Elder testers is that to get to RR80 will tank a ridiculous amount of time).

AoC was lame and overhyped, and WoW gets old after a few years of the same thing (Even WotLK looks like more of the same recolored garbage) ... Hence, why i'm looking into it ._.

I can't say whether or not you'll enjoy the game (because it's your opinion), but I enjoy WAR thoroughly. I played WoW for years, and I was in AoC's beta (and played it for a few weeks after release). I can honestly say I haven't had so much fun in an MMO as I have had in WAR the past few weeks. I suggest you give it a try.

That is not good, was planning and have played a chosen, hmm.

Well, you may like it.

But when you are Chosen number 7 Million and 3 and you notice the lack of healers, which is your main source of staying alive, you may eventually get sick of it. It seems Order sides healers are a lot more attractive to play and melee classes for the Destruction, which skews everything just a tad.

Thank you, exactly the response I was looking for.

I have been a dedicated wow player since Alpha release. I tried Guild Wars, didn't like it. I tried Age of Conan, and while it looked great, I just didn't like the gameplay.

Now Warhammer comes out, and I find myself very intrigued by it. Something about it just makes me want to play it, but again I am a wow player, and find myself stuck between wanting to play warhammer, but not wanting to give everything up in wow to try it with the expansion so close. HELP!! Btw. My wife will not let me pay for both games, so I have to choose one.

Well, first off, you don't have to give up everything. Blizzard doesn't delete characters when you cancel your subscription. Believe me, I've canceled many times.

It boils down to this; do you want to try something genuinely new and fresh in the Universe that Blizzard originally wanted WoW to be, that many people are having immense amounts of fun with (and it's not even officially launched), or do you want to wait to play the same old fedex quests, with recolored mobs, and start that perpetual gear grind again? I say buy WAR, try it for a month or two, and if you don't like it, go back to WoW.

Why not just put your WoW account on Inactive and buy Warhammer.. you've got 2months until WotLK comes out, so thats plenty of time to see if you like WAR. If not, you can just reactivate your WoW account when you buy WotLK and continue like nothing happend :p

But i'll just add, that if you're still highly enjoying WoW.. it probably isnt worth switching over to Warhammer. As even if you like it, you'll end up being pulled back into WoW when WotLK is released (if only to see what its like :p)

I'm going to go the low-road and suggest...get a new wife?

Anyone know of a Warhammer information site like thottbott/wowhead for looking up upcoming spells out-of-game and such?

WAR Wiki - General wiki for WAR information.

Warhamemr Alliance - good site for Dev updates (and semi-official forums)

WARDB - Like Wowhead: tons of info on items, gear, and abilities. Plus it has Career and Renown calculators.

Thanks man (Y)

No problem. Happy to help.

I also forgot, if you want to do character/guild searches or see the status of your server's keeps and sieges (in real time) (not added yet, but is a planned function) you can go to WAR's official site here: Warhamemr Online - Realm War

EU Servers aren't listed there, that's the US site :/

Nice list, thanks, I will probably be using those once I get the game.

i'm really disappointed with the graphics....

rolled a Empire Witch Hunter (read: Alliance Rogue) lol

level 3 right now....

Did you try the ingame settings tabs? The graphics turned up will choke most systems, also if you have a Nividia card you can set more settings in the control panel.

everything is maxed out

but no amount of AA or AF is going to change my mind lol

i can set those same settings in the ATI control panel

i think i'm too used to the nice bright anime shinyness of WoW

anything non cartoony i expect to be like Crysis haha

the graphics are 5x better than wow

Honestly, I played for 10 hours straight yesterday and really don't see the graphics being anywhere near "5x better than WoW". Both graphics are very cartoony in nature, and WAR's graphics really aren't anything to get excited about. All my settings are maxed running at 1680x1050.

World of Warcraft looks like crap by any standard, the "Oh it's cartoony" is so lame, they just used ugly low-res textures and everything is just big blocks. Water is just a flat 2D texture that isn't solid and everything just looks like flaming ass.

So no, Warhammer doesn't look 5x better than WoW, it looks 15x better than WoW.

well, i like WoW graphics and i don't like WAR graphics

to each his own i guess

but graphics aside.....

i only got to play for a couple hours last night

those public quests are very cool (Y)

gonna try a couple different classes this weekend and hopefully some PvP

maybe a tanking class since that's the only class i never played in WoW....

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
