WAR Sports Comments by Alec Meer

Only thing that they need to fix is making sure that the scenario you play is random, just like the big matchmaking ranked FPS games. No more "lemme-pick-my-battleground-because-i-am-a-wow-carebear" stuff please.

Lizardmen aren't really Order, they're kind of neutral, or at least not aligned with anyone else.

Wood Elves would be nifty, War Dancers!

Gnomes! Give us gnomes!!! ;) And kobolds!!! :D

Bretonnia X Vampire Counts

Is it just me or the scenarios queues take damn long?

God Eurogamer MMO articles are full of such fail each and every fucking time, I would actually just stop doing them if I was you, honestly.

I don't think God had anything to do with this article though.

I liked it. captivates scenarios quite well, and I'm glad WAR gets some eurogamer Love :-)

Skaven and Lizardmen will be the first expansion. I'm pretty sure of that.

Skaven because there is already a few quest characters on destro that are skaven

Lizardmen, because they seem to be the most logical choice. Else it would be more elfs, or more humans.

Why say WAR's PvE is rudimentary and then say that the public quests are excellent? Surely the public quests are PvE and so therefore the PvE is excellent? I'm loving how all the quests are tied to the central story, and how each race adds flavour to the quests in their area. Scenarios are definitely the best though, it's much more fun to kill gobos when you know there's a human behind that ugly green mug.

Actually, I'd say Lizardmen are more order than any other race. Not to mention their opposition to the Skaven. The expansion writes itself, really.


I take it this article was written before the last patch which has a 'join all' for scenario queues?

I moan all the time in scenarios. I think because after so many wow battlegrounds and guild wars arenas I've just lost all tolerance for things going badly :p

RvR is just miles better. I only scenario for the xp and renown.

yeah. im a lvl 25 Witch Elf in T3 atm
Impossible to get into any scenario other than fucking 'Tor Anroc'.
:/
im averaging 1 kill before i get focus fired to death or punted into lava :/
then I have to run back from the spawn point missing out on shared kills from my group.
single target 'paper-chainsaw' class is rather painful atm. hoping lvl 40 is allot more even, i'll keep going and judge it then. If I didnt hate the looks of the Marauder i'd prob be having fun with one of those.
overall there's still large nuggets of fun to be had in between spending most of my scenario time flying through the air or running back from death.
