2 sides or 6 sides?

Are there 2 sides or are there 6 sides in 3 different battles?  What I mean is can say a Witch Hunter go into the Greenskins' territory and fight with the dorfs or will the Witch Hunter be stuck scrapping against the Chaos humans?

    So it's each race for themselves in three different campaigns with no alliances? 
  • Chad420Chad420 Member Posts: 8

    not sure if it is or not ,but if it is it will be

    1. dwarfs
    2. humans
    3. high elf

    against

    1. greenskins
    2. chaos
    3. dark elf

    ok let me clear this up. If you are a human you will naturally be closer to the chaos areas so you will fight them but you could still go and fight orcs or go fight dark elves. so you can fight them all but depending on who you are, you will be fighting one of them alot for a while.

    Like Vicious said, You can fight anyone you want aslong as their on the opposite alliance but primarily your opposite-race. From what ive heard you can travel between starting zones pretty easily and quite early.

    ?

    I'm confused. I thought the Order, and  Destruction were the sides, and those races were in some sort of mutual...cooperation with eachother? So You can only group with like....someone of your same race?

  • elvenangelelvenangel Member Posts: 2,205

    This was addressed in an article i think on this site sometime ago.  But there's 2 Sides Order and Destruction which 3 race / factions each.

    Order contains the dwarves, empire (humans), and the high elves.  Destruction is made up of the Greenskins, Chaos(humans too), and the Dark Elves. 

    If you are a dwarf you can travel too and fight for any of the factions on your side but it best benefits your reputation to fight more for you own home country.

    If you look at their website and actually read all the information available it IS so.    They've already said in i know atleast 2 articles that you can travel to any of the areas to fight for another race as long as they are on the same side as you.   If you look here www.warhammeronline.com/english/gameInfo/armiesofWAR/

    It shows you out right that there's 2 sides made up of 3 races each.

  • GreybonesGreybones Member Posts: 31
    Ah I see, thanks for clearing this up.
  • SickpupSickpup Member Posts: 382
    originally the devs came out with such a coplicated explanation when they unvieled war,that that led me to belive chaos and order were loose alliances.It sounded like they spoke of infighting in chaos and order factions.not sure what happened to that concept.now its an A vs B game.



    theres fast means of travel and you are not stuck with your race.I imagine most will go and fight where its happening.Zerging back and fourth between 2 capitols.
  • tenhatenha Member Posts: 8

    Aye, i would think it is good that you can fast travel between capitals to get closer to where the fight is. However it would be great also if you have to make some trip to the battlefield. It add some reality that you need to buy some time if you want those reinforcements on your side.

    Oh ok that makes more sense. Thanks.
  • Nerdkill789Nerdkill789 Member Posts: 27

    it would be tight if in an expansion the greenskins broke off and slowly instead of 2 there were 6 opposing factions

    I have heard that not fighting for your race is against "the lore" or will hurt your "reputation".However as far as I  know these are not actual  stats in the game.
  • Timberwolf0Timberwolf0 Member Posts: 424
    Oh interesting point pup. I'm sure you'll be able to fight in your allies zones, but I wonder if you will still have access to the same quests and such. I mean, how realistic would it be for a troll to walk up to a dark elf NPC and demand a quest? I think there'd be blood. So maybe you'll be able to RvR all you want but might not be able to do quests in the other zones.
  • SickpupSickpup Member Posts: 382
    Ive brought a similar point up a ways back.That from my experience with Daoc players seem to pick one place to look for group.Once in the group you follow the leader.Imo the RvR system is better In DAoC.Everybody defended the two main keeps in some manner.Then there was always the wildcard 3rd realm that the stealthers kept an eye on.You cant burn the capitol in daoc,but its of lttle consequence if it happens to you in WAR anyways.

    They have stated that they may have the npc talk to you differently , however, you can quest the same on all sides.

    Ah, hopefully we won't be missing much for choosing to wage war predomently with other races.  Like class-specific armor and or special quest only abilities if there is such things.
  • SickpupSickpup Member Posts: 382
    the other side will be doing the same thing when they group.Anyways is there race specific armor,Daoc never had that.

    DAOC does HAVE THAT.

    And i think they stated about a year ago armor is race specific. However, all quest rewards are tailored for your race (same stats etc but orc armor or empire etc).



    Still this could have changed. (and i hope it does).

    Ill put it in wow terms ... once again because people only understand wow concepts.

    You are on horde. (destruction) you play an Orc (Chaos) your home base is the crossroads in the barrent and you fight against the night elves (Empire) over the area of Warsong. The night elves shome city is darnassus. Your everyday life you are fighting against nightelves. Just like in eversongwoods you would mostly run into Night elves if you where playing horde. your buddy however rolled an Undead (Dark Elf) and wants to come help you raid darnassus. Well he goes to the undercity and takes mass transit to come accross the counrty and lands in the barrens. Once in the barrens he groups with you and helps you kill silly little elves, insted of fighting in his home country against the much hated Humans(high elves) found in hillsbrad over their rival land silverpine forest.

     

    Anyone can jump in any fight, but they have a fight already going on in front of their face. I know for myself I am going to be a Rune priest but love the empire story so I will prob find my way up there after I hit tier 2 and stay and fight with the empire and follow their story against chaos.

    jetrpeg are you sure you are not thinking of class specific gear.In 4 years of daoc ive never seen race specific gear. Unless they added it in thier last expansion.



    but anyways player kill drops is rog anyways.and if you were say the only dwarf in the group roaming with empire.you would get a tonof scrap metal anyways.
