no need to get so peevish, I was just asking cause from what most people have said I didnt think my computer wouldnt be up to scratch, 99% of questions people ask on forums could be answered through google.
That aside, whats everyones opinion of the game? I know some people are saying its better then wow but is it really?
Is checkers better than monopoly? They're both MMO's, but they cater to different audiences really. If you want PVE, go WOW. If you want PVP, go WAR. WOW puts all its balance and polish in ensuring good PVE first, and PVP second, and WAR is the opposite. WAR is a great game, and I'm having tons of fun. I haven't played WOW, but you don't get THAT popular without being pretty damn good. I'm not sure any MMO for a long time will dethrone WOW as king of the hill, but WAR is looking like a viable contender for a strong number two. It hit a lull when WOW released the latest expansion, but now the populations are skyrocketing again. We'll see what happens.
I imagine AION may be the one to Dethrone WoW, and I think as soon as the balances are complete with classes like the Runepriest etc, the game will get a nice Golden Star :3
Now my opinion of PvP realms isnt that great, when playing WAR will I be liable to have some asshat gank me with sheer epic weapons? are all the realms PvP? Also is the PvP balenced, or do you have way overpowered classes that will wipe the floor with you in 20 seconds ect. my basic fear -well not fear as much but- is that you will have some people fighting you and danceing around like a guy from riverdance while you are trying desperatly to cast a spell on him and end up dead before you can even cast 1 spell.
Warhammer doesn't want one on one duels. The world is setup in such a way as to funnel everyone with an interest in PVP into a few zones. The map discourages coming across members of the opposite team in other areas. Those zones where Warhammer wants you to fight are triggered to flag you for PVP just for entering. In any other zone, you have to flag yourself, and your opponent has to flag himself in order to fight. There is no "ganking". What more, there's no real death penalty. You lose no exp. You lose no items. You can choose to pay a couple pennies to a healer, or you can fight for 3 or 15 minutes with a little less HP. 3 minutes if a player kills you, or 15 if a monster kills you. It's almost unnoticable anyway. If you join a PVP session as a low level, the game brings your level up to par with a "Bolster" buff. Every fight is fair levelwise.
Are all the classes balanced? Yes they are. Can you pick any class and beat any other if you have skill? No you can't. Every class has a role in the army, and no class is the hero. Melees excel against casters. Tanks excel against melee. Casters excel against tanks. This is the general rule the game is aiming for, but there are variations and exceptions for flavor. No matter what class you pick, there will be classes that have a huge advantage in 1v1 combat against you. As a healer, I find that includes everyone but healers. That said, you're not a one man army. There are dozens of players around you of different classes, and it's the group that counts. play to your strengths, and hope everyone does theirs, and that's how you win PVP in WAR. It's balanced, but it's not balanced for 1v1 like WOW is.
Equipment and gold don't really help your character till you hit level cap anyway. You level so fast and go through gear so quickly, that noone cares.

Rank 2, think I will prolly go hunter.
Any tips? I am finding it very annoying though when an enmy falls through the floor though.
EDIT: is there any addons like the QH from wow?
I've never seen an enemy fall through the floor. :o
