What is your experience with Warhammer

[Skalier]

The biggest mistake in this game is too powerful group healing, together with a 100% chance of being hit especially in ranged combat and without friendly fire. This is something I have not met in any other game yet, and certainly in the world of Warhammer. A bit also in attacking several targets at the same time. And too much accent on team play. I think that the game loses a lot.

Problem with friendly fire in mmos is its an invitation to troll.

The warband play is definitely lore friendly. Id say its more lore friendly to go even larger.
Our characters arent heroes like Archaon or Teclis. Were just the models in a unit.

Eldar 40k army in the 90s. Noob approach on WAR. Tough learning and friends made through 2008+, grown up "but pro" in ROR. Full love

Ah Warhammer <3 I started playing table top with a group of friends way back in the late 80s (after its first release, but "in the beginning") We played religiously every weekend until sometime after 94/95 when we started having kids and work schedules that put an end to it. Never got into 40k, (in fact I have a lot of "misplaced" animosity for the demise of fantasy ,) but when I heard about Warhammer Online I /had/ to play it. My husband and I started out playing Online right after launch, and eventually dragged our kids into it. (Our eldest son was a kick ass healer ) Alas the boys grew up and, just like me way back in the mid-90s, they found they just didn't have time to game around their work schedules. Sadly my husband and I got quite bored after the boys stopped playing with us, most of our in game buddies quit, and we'd been invited to beta Rift. We came back to WAR within a year, couldn't find a challenge in Rift, but everyone we knew was gone by then and we just kind of drifted off to other games after that.


I feel bad often because I seriously want to play here, even despite the lag that kills my want to play melee SW, but I have so much stuff going on at home (remodeling the house, writing a novel, etc) that I can't ever seem to find the time (and "alternate desire" or "energy") to level my characters. My husband found some free time, I think it was last winter, to get his sexy boots to 40, but mine are stuck at like 20 something. We keep saying we're gonna level up our other "main" classes (IB and RP) so we can do some RP/SW duo'ing (which we /very much/ enjoy,) but it hasn't happened yet :/ I don't see it happening in December either, though I guess on the plus side we're getting very close to done on our remodel projects so there's more hope for it than previously heh

Playing together with your family must be something wonderful. Especially with children. I only played with my brother and when my father saw what we were doing, he said we were abnormal. But that was any 15 years ago.

Bored on a Sunday... What to play, what to play? If only there was a game like Warhammer available. Google search, 10 minutes later writing this while waiting for the client to download.

I played it from the very beginning. Pre-ordered and everything. You know in the first weeks, where there were mobs that attacked u, but you couldn't attack them back? I was there. Can't remember the names of the servers tho... Played a sorc named Flow part of the Damned Souls guild. Flow turned into Teardrop as the servers merged (btw does anyone here remember the huge ventrilo meet of all the leaders and officers of all the guilds that were impacted by the merge?). Anyway, Teardrop found a home with Explicit Content guild and saw capitals fall on both sides and eventually the whole warhammer online world crumbling. After so long playing destruction, this time around I think I will go order.

Yeah a lot of older folks, even folks my age (40s), view computers in general in a bad light because they don't quite understand them. Didn't help that there were some bogus "studies" pushed by the media for a while that claimed video games were made you lazy, violent, etc. I'm a bit different (as a parent) because I basically grew up attached to a computer - I was a programmer before I even got out of HS, wrote my first computer game in the 80's, before windows and the internet as we know it. Was an ASCII dungeon based on D&D, which had both "random" rolling and "player input" rolling, for fights with monsters and legit D&D loot. My buddies and I were total nerds and geeks


Playing video games with my kids is probably my favorite memory of parenting to be honest. It started out with numerious console games, then computer games (Civilization and... Warlords I believe it was called), then online games when RPG's got popular. We actually had to install an intercom in the house so we could communicate Good times and I do think it brought us all closer as a fam; certainly it kept the boys off the streets and out of trouble.

id say both dmg and heals should recive a cut generally to make more worth single char builds

This is what I write about for a long time. You join SC and just play, and do not look at who has how many healers because their healing abilities are not so powerful anymore and they are only help, not necessary.

By and largely, I am a 40k fan and player. I've owned 6+ armies in the few years that I've been playing it, and have brought a dead club for it back to life because I wanted to play it.

I started a guild on launch night of Age of Reckoning on whatever server we went to. It was called Solstice. I recall us doing well, though I was an absentee guild leader.
