Dang no Wood Elves...

...I guess this means I'll have to make do with High Elves.

I know race plans are still a little vague with only Orcs and Dwarfs so far, but does anyone know if we have some sort of Elf Archer/Ranger in there?  Or did they cut ranged out along with stealth?

    The races are in place, though the classes aren't and I wouldn't be suprised if you could train one of the high elves in the use of bows mainly. Otherwise the dwarf engenier(sp?) is going to be a range class with gadgets ;).

    No they did not take ranged classes out of the game.  Go ahead and saturate the server with elven rangers.

    I still have yet to decide what I will be since I havnt seen how all the races look (ingame) so far I am leaning toward Greenskins of some sort.

    A little hard on me when you add the fact that I -

    A) Am an Archer and a Falconer in real life.
    B) Have had a GW Wood Elf Army since the 80s.
    C) Played a Troll in WoW.

    Try to go easy on the guy, he probably works at a convention hall. Ever since the Lord of the Rings movies he's probably had to put up with bunch of geeks to die their hair blond, put on a green mantle and shouting "Elves use bows! I R TEH ARCHER!!!"

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a wood elves vs beasts of chaos expansion.  Lots of good history there.

  • M1sf1tM1sf1t Member UncommonPosts: 1,583

    For the expansion they have lots of choices.

    For the Order side they can go with..

    Wood Elves
    Lizardmen
    Bretonnians

    For Chaos they have even more choices

    Beast of Chaos
    Skavens
    Orges

    and for twist maybe

    Tomb Kings
    Vampire Counts
    Chaos Dwarves

    Wood Elves and Beast of Chaos are a natural choice for a pairing for a opposing sides. Skavens and Lizardmen are another good pairing for enemies. Bretonnians can be paired with Orges, Skavens, Chaos etc..

    For the twist Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts are mortal enemies but I doubt they would add these two as a playable race. Your average Tomb king or Vampire Count in the table top game are freaking ub3r and would not fit right to make either playable in the game by players IMHO.

    Chaos Dwarves were once fully supported but now are not in the game as much because the GW dropped them and very few people play them. They could though dig them out to add some spice to the game.



    Games I've played/tried out:WAR, LOTRO, Tabula Rasa, AoC, EQ1, EQ2, WoW, Vangaurd, FFXI, D&DO, Lineage 2, Saga Of Ryzom, EvE Online, DAoC, Guild Wars,Star Wars Galaxies, Hell Gate London, Auto Assault, Grando Espada ( AKA SoTNW ), Archlord, CoV/H, Star Trek Online, APB, Champions Online, FFXIV, Rift Online, GW2.

    Game(s) I Am Currently Playing:

    GW2 (+LoL and BF3)

    Ummmmm, Chaos Dwarfs would be such a lovely lovely addition!

    But I fully expect that when they add new races (In, say, 3-4 years ) it will propably be my lovely Skaven and the Lizardmen. These two races would both be drasticly diffierent than all the races on both sides. Lizardmen would propably have both Skinks and Saurus as playable characters and that would give the "good-guys" a divided race like the orcs.

    But seariosly I think its a bit early to be talking about an expansion!

    OR my family system of Archery is traced back to the middle ages and is only taurght within my family, the yeomen regiment is still here in my home city today and is now a tank regiment where I servered.

    But you're right, I should have to defend my race choice to you.  I'm sure you're equally upset because you can't play a lady Orc.

    Lady Orc? What's that? Something Blizzard Made up? I don't really like WoW much soo...

    As for me, I'm kind of upset that I can't play a slave-master like my liniage would suggust me to but I guess a horriblely deformed freek of Chaos will have to be realistic enough.

    Sorry I read your reply half asleep and think I thought you'd decided to have a laugh at me calling me a Elf wannabe.  I replied with a short, random, sarcastic reply.  I see now that probably wasn't the case.

    AS for Chaos, I don't know if you know anything about Warhammer but you shouldn't be disapointed with Chaos if they get it right, the back story for Chaos draws from the utterly screwed up H.P Lovecraft/HR Geiger school of all things that are utterly strange and deformed.

    It's okay, I've done that before too. I've been reading into Chaos Lore and reading what Mythic says about their approach on Chaos, it's sounds like it's going to be the best thing since individualy packages cheese slices. I'll have to buy a Lovecraft book and read it in the mean time, hehe...squids. I really hope we can grow a tenticle though, I'd pay a subscription fee out of loyalty to a company, even if I didn't play the game, if they implimented that.
  • WoodenDummyWoodenDummy Member Posts: 208
    Considering which God they are going with, I think tentacles should be there.  With the armour customisation and character level aging I'd imagine that a high ranking Chaos character should look damn impressive and scarry.

    I wonder if at any point we'll get the other Gods, such as Nurgle the God of Rot or Khorne the Blood God.
