Anyone here getting Warhammer: Age of Reckoning?

[Verdande]

I bought and currently play WAR, and I have no plans on going back to WoW for quite a while. The excitement, fun, and team-based nature of the entire game is what I like, and want in an MMO.

Seriously, it's that good. Go get it.

Well, City of Heroes is getting ready to unleash a ton of goodness as well--without any extra cost to the player. I have high hopes for the implementation of leveling patcs and the mission creator. Think I'm heading back for that.

WAR has no rogue or stealth component, right?

WAR has no rogue or stealth component, right?

I believe that's correct, though I'm not 100% sure.

This is both a blessing and a curse; blessing in that stealth classes really tend to muck things up balance-wise (for themselves and others!), a curse because it could turn away people who favor that kind of class.

Yes, there's stealth in WAR. It's pretty limited though; it is limited only to the 2 lowest armor melee DPS classes (one per side... and in both cases they are the most WoW rogue-like classes), and stealth drains their AP while active (your attack resource for all classes, though some classes have alternate pools for certain abilities) faster than AP regenerates, and has a cooldown of 2 minutes. (That's quite a lot in WAR. The most powerful abilities generally have cooldowns in the single minute range, though there are a few with longer).

It's also mostly there to let them have a role in large-scale PvP; their stealth helps them work with the tank classes to break gridlock when large zergs come together, and keeps them alive while they are crossing the no man's land in the center, else they'd never be able to kill the casters, which is their main role in PvP. And Melee DPS, in Warhammer's design are the main caster killers...

Compared to AoC, it is a well-designed and much more polished game. The former felt a little rushed.

However, for some reason, I have stopped playing. It just stopped interesting me after the first 10 levels or so. I have never played WoW, so maybe I'm just not made for this type of MMO.

I fell back to Mount & Blade instead, which has occupied all of my free time since.

There must be something wrong with me.
