WAR Land of the Dead Q&A Video

Ethec · 05-12-2009, 10:42 PM

Warhammer Online's Gabe Amatangelo and Jeff Skalski offer an in-depth preview of WAR's summer expansion, Land of the Dead, and answer a few of our questions. They'll talk about how Order and Destruction gain access to the new area and the concepts of sigils and purging, new lairs and the 18 new PQs all the way up to the Tomb of the Vulture King, the new Tyrant armor set, and the action RPG feel of the expansion.

It's all in this enjoyable 9 minute video, which also features over 4 minutes of expansion gameplay video and bonus footage of the squig cake seen at Baltimore Games Day 2009!

If only they would make the game more RP friendly... if they are going to toss out words like RPG like that. >.>

Mkay, so thats what they are doing instead of fixing the many balancing issues or filling up the missing content.

Hopefully that expansions will be for free.
I certainly wont invest any extra € just to play my chars in a new area until i feel the classes got fixed.

They did say it was free if you had watched the video.

Yes, it's gone far beyond the confines of the absurd, we cannot even freakin' walk in this game. Yet here, in the trailer for this game we see a warrior priest walking. Mythic has gone almost a year without a word for the immersive/RP community. it's sad.

Oh, but guess what? You can walk backwards if you are so inclined.

It's sad to see MMORPGs lose the imagination and immersion, instead of balancing it with the more exciting competitive play. We can have both, you know. BOTH !

Other than that, the new content looks amazing, I love the animations on the bosses, and the massive epic scale to the battles.
I wish Mythic would provide the tools necessary to enrich the immersion when experiencing their content. It's great to see more of the less static action/adventure aspects merged with the expansive virtual scale of an mmo.

It is just way to easy to get bogged down with the negative issues of the game these days so I am looking forward to exploring and fighting in this cool looking new place.

I do think that the new ideas they are going to put in will be hit and miss type stuff for awhile. For the most part Mythic is doing good work to keep the game fresh while they workout the other issues and that makes me smile more than frown.

*sigh* Yet more content and nothing being fixed.

New content looks good too bad it's not going to get me to Re- Subb. Balance issues should make this place a grief haven for all players

. Have fun if thats what you like.

I just don't get why people make comments when they don't know what they are talking about...

Warhammer is awesome and I am glad they are adding this cool material to the game. They are working very hard to get any little bugs squashed, the balance of the game is really good.

There is a VERY long list of things changing in the next patch, if people would read the official forums they would know this.

Alot of balancing and bug fixes coming FYI ... although the game is kickin butt and taking names as it is.

Guzzlebelly.
Do not tell me that I do not know what I am talking about since I have been playing WAR since Beta. I am pretty sure I have been playing it a lot longer then you. So I have every right to make any comments I see fit.

On tha Balancing there is not enough of it. Lots of the balancing should of been done before release and it wasn't FYI.

Lots of Class problems have yet to be fixed or even addressed. I read the offical Forums and all they keep doing in band aiding the main problems not really fixing them.

Example: Instead of fixing the casters dmg pre- 1.2 they nerf resistances that screwed a lot of things ups such as dungeon bosses and RVR. They should of just uped the single target dmg for them and called it a day.

LOL you have never been to T-4 I assume.

I have 3 Lvl 40's so I would say I've had a bit of exp in T4...

You say they are just adding content and not fixing anything, they are actually fixing/changing alot of things in this next patch. People just judge A game as massive as this one too harsh for it's first year out. I have had so much fun with this game. On my server (Iron Rock) battles are intense and not overbalanced.
