The Dwarf Hammerer, the Dark Elf Blackguard, the Orc Choppa, and the Empire Knight of the Blazing Sun are cancelled. Also. The Empire and Chaos capital cities are the only ones that will be in the game at launch. BAD NEWS.

I like how Dwarves are portrayed in this game. I'm so sick of other games that portray the race as a bunch of goofy drunks who screw up all the time *couth*WoW*cough*

[thestarheart]

one of the mounts for this game is an ale powered vehicle. sounds pretty goofy to me.

[strantheman]

LOL Paul Barnett is so fucking funny.

[hummer1337]

violent yes, mature no. u can buy whores and pee on them :/

[HatfieldCW]

I don't have sand on my embark, that guy's going right in the magma.

[olliemasta]

not rly warhammer has about 5 million users already and it's been out for only a year...............it had a much better start then wow, for example

[Jareals]

That was really a bad idea to make Warhammer an MMORPG.

[blowme23]

so.... how's it going? still sure slayers won't be in?

[Warriorsorochi77]

lol! Could they use swords?

No...

Well how about crossbows?

NOOOOO!

why not?

CAUSE THEIR HAMMERERS! THEY HAMMERS THINGS!

Tutter... it would be better with more melee dps because atm when i play rvr there is always like 2 tanks getting healed by 10 healers with a couple of ranged dps protecting them... it's so annoying

Interesting game... But WAR's losing customers already. Many servers are ghost towns, many others are drastically imbalanced.

Oh and this preview actually showed blood... Something that got censored, even on the US release. What a shame.

In addition, if you've read any of the Slayer books, you'd know that some Slayers do prefer to be brought back to life. In the case of Gotrek Gurnisson, who was slain by a catapulted boulder during the second Chaos siege on Praag, and later resurrected by a priest of Shallya..he recovers saying that his many conquests had not yielded him a death of honour- and was rejected upon entering the Halls of Ancestors.He stated that he preferred to die against a more worthy opponent to restore his honor.

[Saithes]

In addition to what I have said: Dwarfs hold to oaths stronger than anything. Even Slayers who continue to make oaths strive to hold them lest they be dishonoured even further. Now the topic of resurrection- it fits. If a Slayer has made an oath to protect someone, something, or something related, I am sure he would prefer to be brought back to life in order to fulfill that oath before his actual passing. It wouldn't be hard to integrate this common knowledge into the game just to add Slayers.

[Saithes]

Lore 'fanbois' will never allow the slayer to be a playable class huh? If you've read the Warhammer Alliance forums, you'd know right off the bat that what you said is non-sensical. From what I have seen, the lore fanboys have made every effort to provide a reason for Slayers to actually BE in game.

Slayers fight to die, so what? Slayers respawning in battle is no different from any other class doing the same. The developers of this game have already made lore changing decisions with the DOK.
