Newsletter Stuff!

[chrislocalboy]

Get yourselves over to Warhammer Alliance, they've got some stuff from the Newsletter filtering through and there's a very insightful video on crafting...... I'm dissapointed at this stage though as there is not mention of weapon/armour crafting at all.

So its either not in at all or they are still working on the crafting system.... the second seems like a better option to me, I can't seem them releaseing a game with only two crafting professions?

Anyway like I said some good stuff so g and have a butchers!

I may be wrong, but I gather that there will be no armour/weapon crafting, it's all going to be disposable items instead.

OH hang on.. look here's this: Warhammer Online

From the start of production they were saying that Mark Jacobs had his own great idea in mind. Dunno if it is... I'll have to watch the vid...

Well he's not said there will be no weapon/armour crafting but it has been mentioned by the other video bloggers that there will not be.

However in the video there are only two crafting proffessions...... whether there are more to come remains to be seen?

Im just happy I even got one, first I recieved since december last year

 

[Dervish]

Mine arrived today which is a miracle as for at least 6-8 months it has been 3 or 4 days after everyone else gets it if at all.

I have a theory. Your place in the beta queue determines how soon you get your newsletter. Since mine arrived at 46 minutes past midnight this morning I reckon I'm deffo in the next invite round.

Well it could be true... /shrug

by the sounds of it there wont be AC or WC in the game, which i like. Quests give armour plus taking towers/keeps allows you a chance to gain armour also ( meant to be the best armour for your level ). If i remember rightly, some vid they done a while back said that the pve quests and the rvr quests will hand out the same or equal value items. I think they are making it nice and easy to get kitted out so we can enjoy end game rvr faster.

Thing is though some people love crafting and spend time on it because they enjoy using stuff they've made, if all your gonna be able to make is consumable stuff and talismans to give you small stats boosts then I think there may be a lot of dissapointed people?

I did kind of like the downtime in DAoC that I spent crafting but then you needed to spend a lot of time doing it to get anywhere. It was just another thing to grind alongside char level, realm level, ToA artifact level etc. This new idea seems a breath of fresh air and I look forward to it.

I'm also really quite pleased that there are no plans (it seems) for WC and AC. I just don't think they are needed.

yeah i knew 2 ppl in daoc who loved crafting and im sure there were many more, i couldnt stand it myself, but if you have crafting and can craft good armour and weapons before end game, no-one would do the end game. Capital city items are meant to be best in the game so it gets ppl to try and collect all the victory points needed to get there. If you had AC/WC ppl would build a nice template and just wouldnt bother keep taking etc and just do 6v6 fights all night long, just like many done in daoc.

Well just like there are only 6 armies to play and hints have been dropped as to additioning of more (skaven, wood elf, bretonian, ogryn, beastmen...) at a later date I ma sure the same is true for crafting.

At present only two crafting and four gathering are designed however this does in no way to me say there will never be more types.


I expect there are no weapon/armour crafting skills for the simple reason of the two negatives mentioned in the podcast, no grinding usless items and no recipes kind of meens you have a hard time crafting swords and stuff.

This said I think that talisman making will be much more interesting as they will be used to improve existing weapons and armour.

Do you want to rephrase that mate? I'm not quite sure what your asking?

I think your trying to say that all the other MMO's are the same?? if so, dont worry, Warhammer is going to be something totally different with many very unique features.

lol Chris - always quick to pick up on the salesman angle. hehe I like it.

Well the character screen animation looks pretty good although they did say it was only for the beta. Probably be even better on release. Otherwise I imagine you choose your race/class/face/hair/skin colour/hair colour etc, think of a name, press the button and start playing?

Or like localboy said did you mean something else?
