Well, I finally dwindled down my choices to two on both sides. Still not certain, but it's progress, right? Haha.

Swordmaster or Warrior Priest for Order.

Magus or Disciple of Khaine for Destruction.

I'm narrowed down to

Order- White Lion or Swordmaster

Chaos- Blackguard

ive narrowed down to 3.

Order: White Lion, Bright Wizard or Witch Hunter
Destruction: Marauder, Squig Herder or Witch Elf

I'l be playing Order as either a Warrior Priest, Archmage, Bright Wizard or White Lion. I've got to try 'em all first. I'm a bit of an alt-o-holic.

I'm pretty sure I am going Order now (though I reserve the right to change my mind later, haha), and my line up of characters will be the following:

Main: Swordmaster
1st Alt: Warrior Priest
2nd Alt: Engineer
3rd Alt: Witch Hunter
4th Alt: Archmage

I didn't wanna go past five characters, since I'm gunna need those slots for future released armies/classes. But with this set up I get a taste of everything.

n the latest of an ongoing series of interviews with MMORPG.com, Mythic Entertainment VP and General Manager Mark Jacobs has dropped big news on the Warhammer Online fanbase: major features are being culled from the game in order to make their Fall launch deadline. In short, the capital cities for the Dark Elf, High Elf, Orc, and Dwarf factions will not be in the game at launch. The Human city of Altdorf and the Chaos Inevitable City will be the only Capital cities in the game. This is an enormous change, seemingly changing much of what we know about the game's core of RvR gameplay.

Additionally, four classes are being removed, deemed to be in a condition unsuitable for launch. They are:

* The Choppa (Greenskin)
* The Hammerer (Dwarf)
* The Blackguard (Dark Elf)
* The Knight of the Blazing Sun (Empire)
Hope no one was lloking forward to playing them at release.. lol

Don't worry, it's for the best. The game will be a lot better with these changes until they can work out the kinks.

Rubbish. Absolute rubbish.

I appreciate their honesty about it all, I really do. And the cities are one thing, that's just fine and dandy. But four classes? It wasn't even mentioned whether or not these classes were going to be put in altogether. This is rather disappointing.

Oh well. Maybe some cooler classes will be put in. I don't see them getting rid of the Black Guard, but the Hammerer and Choppa are pretty boring.

A lot of my friends were looking forward to Choppa but they agree with the decision. Better for them to put in classes that work later on or fixed classes that work later on. We have experienced far too many games that just tried to slam classes in, and then play the nerf/buff game.

But yeah, I'm still going with Disciple of Khaine! All my friends are going Melee type except for one squig herder... wished some of them would go magic or healer type lol >_<

Choppa was kind of redundant, a Black Orc specced down Path of da Brawler dishes out some pretty good DPS anyways. Honestly, I think the cuts are mostly EA's doing with the other bit actual gameplay tweaks. For example, the three capital cities would be a bit much for launch.

Aye now the game is getting close to release I am pretty confident on my first 5 characters.


Main - Witch Elf
1st Alt - Magus *
2nd Alt - Witch Hunter *
3rd Alt - Sorceress
4th Alt - Ironbreaker

• Although I know these two are 1st and 2nd alts, they may switch depedning on if my WoW guild rolls Order or Destruction. I'll be using a Witch Elf as main regardless, but if they roll order, my 1st alt will be with them.

i felt the same about the Choppa. BO can pick up DPS just fine, maybe the Squig Herder can pick up some ranged DPS also.

Please, if you are going to play Destruction side and you want melee DPS, just pick up a witch elf, she will more than satiate your need for quick kills and high damage.

If you roll Order, the Witch hunter looks like he's going to hurt like a bitch...all of his skill trees, even his weakest one does a ton of damage...it's sort of ridiculous.

Anyways, due to the character choices of my friends, and to more thoroughly round out my party, I'm going to play a Swordmaster who will switch between the Vaul and Khaine specs...Usually I'll role Vaul though. For instances we'll need a tank, and a lot of his skills just look too fun not to use.

I was recently leaped upon by Dine to make a choice so he could jot down who I was, looks like I'm going to be charging in on the side of Order as a Bright Mage.

The Sorceress looks pretty damn awesome though. I like playing mages or magic users, can't wait to finally get a crack at it. Asking for a new vid card for my birthday for sure, though.
