    I hope there will be plenty of heads to put on my armor!

    Orcs are the toughest, the meanest, and the greenest of em all! They are the second largest army next to the Skaven, and second in strength next to the Ogres. They are a perfect army, and have plenty of gobbos to throw at armies until their weakened by cutting down thousands upon thousands of fanatical gobbos, then the big boyz come in and clean up.

    As much as I would like to be a Greenskin, I'll probably have to play one of the underdog races just to find people to kill off peak hours.

    I think that i would rather play good guys cause i have a feeling they will help the underdgs out like the started doing for mids on daoc plus you can have all the heads on your armor you want as long as yours is on mine lol

     Only evil races get heads as trophies for their armor I think. Either way no hummie is going to be taking my head. I'm going to kill Dwarves, i'm gonna kill humies, i'm gonna kill puny little elves, and when I have no more of ye to kill, i'm gonna kill those chaos sluggs and maggot Dark elfs.

    I can't wait to have me a nice shiny templar helmet of me own so I can write the symbol of Gork and Mork on it in your blood haha!

    I picked evil, but after seeing the results mabye good would be better. I like being the underdog.

  • JtHMJtHM Member Posts: 122
    I think its still really early. Most people are saying evil because from the screenshots we've seen so far, all we've been shown is Greenskins and Dwarfs. And of all that, the Greenskins definitely looked cooler. But if you look back through the history of the genre traditionally people tend to favor the good guys, the pretty races, the light and colorful lands, etc. Alliance over Horde, Albion/Hibernia over Midgard, etc. So while the poll looks as it does now, I wouldn't hold too much to it this far out.

    The Empire is certainly not qualifying to be good.

    As to what I will play...Chaos-Khorne, High Elfs or Wood Elfs...the other factions are enemies, I can't play them or bear them near me too long.  But that is just me, assuming I even play the game when it is released.

    ALSO, keep in mind this....... dwarfs/high elves have special racial abilities against Orks and goblins... if you have played the table top game.. this you would know.... and those "puny little elves" have the best magic and marksman ship in game. how do i know this? MYTHIC said they will be trying their best to base it off the miniatures, so in this case i highly doubt an ork will get close enough to take my head. but no "evil" races aren't the only ones to take heads... the dwarves take many.. many ... MANY ork,goblin and troll heads , and the elves and empire take the heads of those that should have been banished long.. long ago.. (such as the dark elves and chaos)

    Actually Mythic has stated MANY MANY times that WAR is NOT going to be the tabletop game in MMO format, and it is NOT going to be the RPG in MMO format. WAR is going to be it's own new thing, taking aspects from all the different games in the Warhammer universe.

    Not trying to "own" anyone, just trying to clear stuff up. There are a LOT of misconceptions about ANY game this far out in the development period. :)

    i just would have thought mythic would have made some stuff as related to warhammer as it could... alot of warhammer fans are going to be dissapointed : /... i know i already ami was really hopeing they might contain racial traits as such.. but then again yo ure right about the development

    I think I'm going to play a Dwarf. I like playing the underdogs, and I think WAR is going to be the exact opposite of WoW come launch, and the good guys will have fewer numbers for once. I also just think the Dwarves are cool sounding in this game.

    If not for the wanting to play the underdog team though, I would be playing Chaos all the way.

    I have no fear it will be very much Warhammer in nature. You just have to keep in mind Warhammer is more than just the tabletop battle game. One of the Previews I read last week summed it up perfectly...

    Warhammer is like Batman.

    Stick with me now... Batman isn't just a man in a cape. Batman is an idea. The original TV series, the Burton movies, the newest movie, the animated series. They were all VERY different from each other, some were more bright and colorful, some were dark and gothic, but they all were Batman, they all held that central idea that was Batman.

    The same holds true for the Warhammer universe. It isn't the tabletop game, it isn't the RPG. It isn't just the CCG, the previous computer games, etc. It is an idea, and the MMO will stick to that Idea, not to any single previous incarnation of the universe, be it the Tabletop Battles, the RPG, etc.

    I hope I didn't butcher that too badly.

    Empire or Chaos.

    The other races to pick from do not interest me at all. High Elves get close to interesting, but don't quite cut it.

    Pick Empire, there are already far too many Chaos kids out there.

    Well that is certainly true enough.  One thing I have always liked about Warhammer and Warhammer 40k is that really there is no true good or true evil.  Well true evil possibly chaos, but you can debate how truly evil they are compared to the Empire or the Imperium.  Even the so called 'good' races exist in at best an ambigious grey that might border on truly good from time to time.   The Warhammer world is not nearly as black and white as say Tolkien's Lord of the Rings where there is a much more clear cut distinction between good and evil. 

    At anyrate I certainly hope that the sides end up being somewhat balanced.  I hate playing an MMO on a server where one faction has a far greater number of contributing players.  It just ruins some of the fun.  WoW is somewhat notorious for this as you can easily find yourself on a server where your side never wins in PvP BGs because there is or was at one point a huge difference in the amounts of horde vs allaince or vice versa.
