Sad news, Warhammer: Age of Reckoning has to remove 4 classes and 4 capitals from the game to make its release date. Mythic felt the Hammer (NO!!!!!!!! This was to be my first class), Choppa (the orc's DPS melee counterpart), Blackguard (the awesome Dark Elf Tank), and Knight of the Blazing Sun (Human tank) are not fun to play, and that they should be removed until they are fixed. Mythic also feels that the Elf, Dwarf, Orc, and Dark Elf capitals are not polished enough to feel right, and will be adding those in later.
I for one commend them for making this tough decision and letting us know well before the release date. Mythic is no Funcom. 
I wrote the following on MMORPG.com
| Quote: | Mythic, thank you for your honesty in letting us know this before we have commited our dollars. Unlike Funcom with Age of Conan, you have given us the facts and ample time to decide if we will cancel or keep our pre-orders. Your candor has made me very glad that I have the CE on pre-order, and I for one look forward to adventuring in your lands.
Based on what I have read about WAR and seeing DAoC mentioned, I have recently purchased DAoC and am enjoying it. Seeing y'all learn from your mistakes and successes gives me a positive feeling. Thank you.
I was very much looking forward to playing a Hammerer first; I will be making a White Lion instead. My Blackguard character will be replaced with a Chosen. I look forward to playing the missing classes when and if you can fix them and add them back to the game. I prefer melee over casting, but can adapt. I will view this as having something to look forward to.
It was not easy for you to admit you will have to leave promised content out of this game, but you found the courage to do just that. Thank you. I for one prefer to have a more polished exerience on release for I prefer Quality over Quantity. Age of Conan's broken quests, lack of promised DX10, stealth removal of mature content (DX10, nudity, and sexual themes are on the box), major class "rebalancing", lack of endgame content, and female melee attack speed bugs have all left a sour taste in my mouth. Your honesty and preference for quality ensure you will get my money instead of Funcom.
Someday my Hammerer will make those greenskins pay. I trust you to make that happen in time. I can wait. |
