Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Q&A - Part 6 (IGN)

[fallen966]

Beetroot has double e Beta has one e it is pronounced the way people always pronounce it.

[SkaterDude718]

I call it bet- ta, didnt no you pronounce it be-ta

[Reddaxe]

God this guy is made of epic win.

[pRoX132]

when is open beta?

i want to play the open beta!!!

[chazdoit]

Its Beta, Its Beta!

[critcal]

meh wwow was good while it alsted but fuck wow warhammer looks awsome

[Kovenflash33]

i have to stay 95% of people on the internet including myself. Are douchebag's.

[yoshiball]

Paul Barnett takes up that whole 5% of the people that aren't.

[Drath66]

so apart from him where all douchebag's.

[Rattnuff]

fuck wow, warhammer here I come:D

[Pardan]

He's kinda cute...always great to see someone excited and convicted regarding the things they do ;)

[DarkEnergys]

look how you spell it, beta, BE-TA.

why would you make it bata.

silly Americans

[Phunbubba]

Darkenergys, the word Beta comes from like roman times so know one even knows how to say it correctly anymore, it could be actually like fuzzy eagle face, the prounounciation, but current days its pronounced Bay-tuh

[teriyakibk]

queerbait?

[pungulven]

Its greek

[zachlaflair28]

does it really matter the only problem is that it takes me awhile to figure out what english people are saying when they talk differently by english i mean european not american but as long as people get there point across there is no reason to make a big deal

[Draca666]

THANK YOU!

Let's get married!Someone else actually agrees!

[zachlaflair28]

:-)

[phastoeh]

it's BAY-tuh.

[Tombking2]

look man hes the design manager he is no game master, he will propably maybe have those advatanges if he plays the game

[iamleeman]

looks sweet im quitting wow to not today not tomorrow but someday lol (in 8 days) :D

[tremurici]

what about more important questions? what happens when u die in game? will there be mounts? or flying mounts? can you train professions? is cross-faction communication possible? can for example a chaos character travel to ork or dark elf areas?

[piratebri]

You know this user isn't an official thing. It's just some guy posting videos he comes across. He deserves a huge thank you of course, but if you want to see more content you should watch the videos on the official warhammeronline(dot)com website.

[piratebri]

To answer your questions, in order:

They haven't released specifics about what you lose upon death yet. When you kill someone you gain Contribution and Influence which are used toward spoils. Yes there will be mounts. No word on flying mounts, but this isn't WoW. Yes to professions. Yes you can go anywhere on your "side" (order/destruction) and talk to anyone on that side.

[Peanutman]

canceled my WoW today, got really sick of it really..

can't wait for WAR :)

[SyndicatedALIVE]

Good.

[zachlaflair28]

WoW was great but it loses something every time they make a new level cap and charge 50$ for it

[DeusExInfernus]

it's βήτα meaning its pronounced bita.....

greek here :PP

[dajuggs123]

i wonder if we will be able to see paul ingame as a gm or something i wonder what race he would be because my black orc will be sad if he has to smash him

[thaftha1]

he seems most excited about the destruction races to me, particularly the greenskins so your orc can rest easy at night knowing he hasnt smashed the ultimate lifeform

[piratebri]

Paul is an avid Greenskin fan. He changed their Leipzig presentation to Orchammer Online, lol.

[piratebri]

He wouldn't be a GM.. GMs are employed customer service grunts. He might have a Dev character, and if so, it'd most likely be an Orc.

[MrStarborn]

Paul's(Him) favorite character is engineer (Dwarf) (To blow up things)

[ThePenguineKing]

Must Play! Warhammer online, must quit WOW to play it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[flanos]

I just deleted all of my characters, uninstalled wow, and broke all of the disks. I feel free! Until WAR comes out... then it's back to having no life...

[apachedisco]

nooooo video won't play for me!!

[sephxml]

is this video broken?

[hyperabbit]

ahh i cant wait for this game

[panefuldeath]

this guy is absolutly hyper, he must get up in the morning and eat a massive amount of suger and energy drinks...

WOW SUCKS!!!

[LordAkira]

p.s....its baeta. =P

[LordAkira]

Paul, can we expect to see ALL races using mounts ? e.g Chaos Knights, orc boar boyz, goblin wolf riders, etc? I mean, we all know that dwarves dont use mounts, they're too heavy and would break the poor animals back, but other races?

[lohhahaha]

Well if its anything like Daoc then it will completely blow away Warcrap.

[darksean99]

Just like Daoc blew away EQ lol

[lordofdarkdudes]

it is killing me that you have hava 1yera left and i i am almost cruing that it will tak so long

(i know my speling sucks i have a-d-d and i am swedish)

[zoolander444]

Pure awesomeness. Paul is a genius, and I'm recruiting friends to join me in the pure awesomeness that is this game.

[xMalifactx]

Agreed, they do seem like a pretty cool company. Same as GW. Consider this game preordered.

[clownsheep22]

I must say, Mythics has been the most intimate and down-to-earth that any gaming company has been to me before.

[gatekeeperrag]

November 1st was last announced release date (got my pre-order :3)

[ATOODLES2]

i so ahve to get this game it sounds awesome

[trox7727]

When the hell does it come out

[LordAkira]

Set for late '07 , but they've said early '08, just to give themselves room, but by the look of it, it will come out ahead of schedule, so expect it to be on the shelves in time for christmas, so every little kid can nag and scream their parents for a copy. =P

[yarpenzirgin]

I'm buying it

[Seirios86]

actualy, its pronounced "veetah" in ancient greek :}

not beetah, not batah (which is the most common) =P

[DruidLover500]

Does this guy eat suger lumps by the ton? i like him reminds me of me :P

[axom20]

TOTALLY man, you soo need to be payed more.

P.S start the 40K version before i die. I'm only 20 so you got a long time (I hope).

[snpacl]

oh oh oh yeahsss(shudder!) 40k version yes please

[LordAkira]

Its been bounced around as an idea a few times, but DONT get your hopes up. Lets see how WO:AoR goes first, then we'll go from there.

[EdgarTFriendly]

I've seen loads of Pauls videos and have come to the conclusion the man is great. I'd love to buy him a beer and just listen to him rant

[strikedead]

hmm so is this game coming out late 2007 or mid 2008? because the trailer says 1984-2008 and this video is december 2006 (keeping in mind he said "we have a year and a bit to go) which is suggesting somewhat of a PS3/WoW delayfest

[chefrobsen]

This guy is truly amazing...i wish, i had a personal paul barnett to do my job interviews for me^^

[Noegendyr]

He's a well payed actor, that mythic hired during the early period of the marketing. They wanted to give gamers a fammiliar (and trustworthy) face to listen to.

Its brilliant!

[raoulAQ]

bloodly rights!

[XD]

Yes hes a real chaump

[stpieraf]

Whatever they paid for Paul... They need to pay double. His personality can sell ice to an Eskimo. I'm psyched!

[TNSFE]

Agreed. Raise Paul's salary!

[Hologue]

Yea! he's awesome
