3rd realm

[Calaen]

Anyone missing the lack of another enemy floating around?

 

[Moriath]

nope

 

[Javai]

It shifts the balance of rvr alot when it is a straight up two-way fight. At the moment I don't miss it as such because the game is still fresh and new but I can see it may become more of an issue as the game matures and we get two-way zerg fights in open rvr without the disrupting factor of a 3rd realm.

No. And I especially don't miss the x-realming.

 

[Calaen]

I suspect very few miss that element of the game unfortunately some people love to win and will do anything.

I do not know what it is, it just used to be nice having a good old fight only for another realm to come pounding in and totally change the whole dynamics.

I always missed the three way battles in RTS Games since westwood decided to make their own series rather than continue the Dune title. ( Dune 2 still the best RTS ever ).

 

[Belgerath]

Sadly with Warhammer hammer lore it would be very difficult to make a 3rd faction as such.

Imo its really needs it though, but its never gonna get it.

Its what made DAoC rvr so good.

Not sure at all.... Greenskins used to be a force of its own (WAAGH on everything), and Undead too (Nagash etc...)

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Overall I don't really, even though it could make for more complex and interesting dynamics.

 

[Kami]

Sometimes I do, fights would be more fun especially in scenarios. Hard for them to find a 3rd side though as it stands, shame that!

 

[Calaen]

Yeha thats what I am thinking about, having a third realm/faction in scenarios would remove half of the crap that is being pulled in there.

And add twice as much crap.

 

[Tallen]

Order (Good) vs Destruction (Evil).....perhaps Mythic can introdue a third faction....Apathy perhaps?

Hmm Order vs Slightly Untidy Vs Chaos (*)


(*) yeah yeah I know it's Destruction allow me poetic license

 

[Cadelin]

Order (Good) vs Destruction (Bad).....perhaps Mythic can introduce a third faction.... Manisch (Ugly) perhaps?

Fixed for you

P.S. You can insert the name of anyone you want to call ugly not just Manisch.

Nah, that works

 

[Boggy]

Anyone missing the lack of another enemy floating around?

Yes. I missed this in every MMO I played since DAoC. I can see why they've done it, but wish someone would go for more than 2 realms. Pirates of the Burning Seas did, and it was quite nice, though they made no attempt to ensure comparible population sizes, so it went wonky.

I think it would be possible since the tabletop warhammer lore has always been set up so that it would be possible for any race to fight any other race; they do it like that so that players never have trouble thinking up a reason why they would be fighting a particular opponent.
I dunno which teams they would split to make it 3 way though. It would also involve a massive change in the whole victory points realm control thing.
I think it's unlikely to happen.

 

[Plutaris]

ye i miss it.

Adds a whole new element to the game. World PVP is better with a third realm.

These scenario / BG's are silly. Wow introduced these stupid things. Now world pvp and things are hard to come by. Or if you like take a big hit, because people would rather now be escorted into a zone the size of a match box and have it all done for them. Sad but it is true, no thx to the WOW mindset, that Mythic shoulda left at the door.

 

[Phantomby]

probably unlikely at this stage but its a great balancing mechanic having a third realm to chip in against the most powerful side.

so...yes, i do kinda miss it.

From the Herald:

EA Mythic proudly announces the new expansion for WAR:

"WARHAMMER ONLINE - OH FUCK IT'S THE TYRANIDS"

We feel that the addition of this 'third realm' will create an exciting new dynamic for Realm-versus-Realm play in WAR, as both sides try to achieve their objectives before being inevitably devoured and rendered down into bio-gruel by a ravening tide of Xenos beasts.
This expansion includes several new features for the world of WAR:


Four new playable classes! All completely balanced!​

Hormagaunt - individually weak, but uses numbers to make up for this; popular with 'zerg rush' players.
Warrior - a strong tank with some offensive capabilities as well; rather like an Ironbreaker. With a rocket launcher.
Carnifex - Bored with siege engines? Now you can simply eat the whole keep!
Hive Tyrant - For solo players who still enjoy being able to take on an entire zerg; quite powerful. But still balanced. Oh yes.

Two new Scenario modes!​

1) - Hicks, We Are Leaving! - where, upon seeing the Tyranids arrive on the battlefield, the objective is to see whether Order or Destruction can run the hell away the fastest.

2) - Capture The Flag, Eat The Flag, And Render It Down To Bio-Gruel - pretty self-explanatory, really.

Exciting new Tyranid zones!​

Including:
The Plains Of Rendered-Down Biomass
The Place Where They Ate Everything Already
Where The Hell Are We, It All Looks Like Dead Biomass To Me Desert
and
Oh Shit Let's Get Out Of Here Before We Get Eaten Forest

We feel sure this new realm will add exciting and interesting new dynamics to your WAR gameplay experience. Enjoy!

Pft when I mentioned this a few weeks ago people just shunned me.

 

[Narzeja]

ROFL, Svartmetall, that was pretty terrific!

 

[Zebolt]

Yes a 3rd faction would have been great, but it's kinda too late now. Should have been there at release íf they should have added one imo not in some expantion later on.
