Destruction will out number Order by a large amount . easily 2 to 1 probably more . Mythic made a very very VERY big mistake that will throw the entire realm balance off . now i could be wrong and come release Order will have enough people playing the correct classes . in that case all will be good . if not Mythic will have a big mess on their hands ... one im not sure they can recover from . when the NDA lifts i will be going off on this subject !
I'm intrigued. Does anybody know what "VERY big mistake" he could be talking about?
read my post again. more specifically the blue text .
I guess I'm just daft, or maybe you have to be in beta, but I can't see anything wrong with the class balance at this point. They seem to have tried to mirror classes across the realms. Like I said, I haven't played the game, so I guess I'll have to wait until the NDA drops.
your not daft ... it's just impossible for me to explain what i am talking about with out breaking NDA .
NDA get's dropped next week ??? i will explain my point of view then .
like i said before i may be wrong and hopefully i am !
I was going to make a Zealot, and I played Horde in WoW. "Pretty" faction doesn't interest me; the 'bad guys' always have more character. That said I really hope there isn't massive population imbalance.

The lure of Chaos/Evil is to powerful to deny, nearly everyone will roll a Destro toon. Even if its just an alt.
My guess after reading these posts is that Order isn't going to have the tanks it needs to compete. Looking at the 2 sides, besides just the numbers this is the biggest difference i've noticed. I am NOT in beta and this is all hypothetical. But from the highlighted text from the previous posters guess that there will be an imbalance due to players playing the "wrong classes" this seems like the most likely problem. Chosen is by far the most popular destro class (as far as i know) and i know black orcs are popular too as the only Orc class. I'm sure there will be a fair share of Swordmasters and whatever the dwarf tank is (mindfart) but i can see a very big discrepancy here.
If dwarf slayers made it in (homicidal suicide killers) I would have played order now it's chaos all the way, and hopefully we can taint all the forces of order with chaos anyways.
BTW don't mistake Order with "good", Warhammer is all about shades of grey and witch hunters would pull the fingernails out of their own grandmothers if they thought they had the taint.
I will more than likely play a disciple of khaine and I know others of similar intent, not sure I will have time to heal tho as I will be busy slaughtering.
Well I will be on order side,I really like the sound of a runepriest,If this guy was on the destruction side I still would have played him.
The healer's from destruction side just dont seem to grab me the same way but I guess there are quite a few see it the other way around,I am sure the balancing will be fine,It has to be or the game just wont make it and I am sure the devs will have it sorted out.I dont know how they are going to do it but it wont be much fun if the order side always wins or players on the order side have to keep queing to get on the server as there side is always full,I guess we will find out soon enough.
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"
I remeber all the old polls I saw months ago had destruction abou 25% higher on avg in them. I havent seen any lately though. I switched from wanting to play destruction for this reason. I wanted the hard fight. I like most all the Order classes, except witch hunter, and swordmaster. I am most pulled towards the Bright Wizard, shadow warrior, and white lion, and hoping they aren't broken. I always managed to pick the badly (in a bad way) broken classes that are aweful come launch.
the only class ppl will play on order is a warrior priest.
at least destruction has more variety.
Unless you're in beta and have advance knowledge, I see no reason why that would be true. From people who've stated they will play Order, if anything, it sounds like the Witch Hunter, White Lion, and Bright Wizard will be most popular. Like I said, I'm not in beta, so I'm just going by what people in the forums say they're going to play.

There's something rather fun about playing an orc.

I always played the evil side in any mmo played, i was horde in wow and i will be destro in this game.
And BTW do you seriously think Mythic would purposely buff a side leaving the other weaker on purpose ? It's Mythic, not Funcom.

Im prolly gonna roll shaman or most likely DoK
cause i feel there may be a shortage on healers on Destro side
due to everybody wanting tentacles and giant armor.
destro's seem bound to have way too few healers

ironstriker ftw, im gonna be a tiny little boozing death machine
now what class will Order have to few of ???
the answer to that question is what i was talking about in earlier posts .
I would never want to play elves,
but after paul's explaination of DE's as Rich British Posh people on opium, who think they run the world.
but then again
i want to be a soccer hooligan.
Destruction!

Umm...There is no telling what will be the dominant force, that will vary by server.

i already answered the what will order have too few of with my earlier guess... Tanks.

I wanted the hard fight. I like most all the Order classes, except witch hunter, and swordmaster.

They removed the knight, which in my mind, was the most tank like career order had
the only class ppl will play on order is a warrior priest.
at least destruction has more variety.
Zealot all the way, ohhhhhh yeaaaaaaaah.
