Warhammer Stuff, Warhammer Online and DoW2 Options

[AC9breaker]

So Mythic just recently announced a free never ending trial for Warhammer Online. I remembered Oddies was playing this and I was pretty interested in checking it out but never had a proper gaming rig when it was out. So I figured a few of us could give it a try and see whats up. It's free to play for like forever, the catch is that your capped to level 10 until you purchase the full product.

Then there is also Dawn of War 2. I'm sure some of you guys have already heard of the new expansion Chaos rising that will introduce Chaos units as well as a couple of new units. But recently the added the Last Stand play mode. Think horde mode but RTS style. 3 players team up and take control of a hero unit and try to make it out of ever increasing hordes of enemies. You level up and unlock new equipment, traits, abilities and have different loadouts so you and your team mates can plan out new and interesting strategies on dealing with the waves of enemies. Highest wave I made it to was with wave 25 I think? With two random doods. I was tanking with my Mekboy but godamn Space marines ended up taking us out with a freaking dreadnought spam. It was hella fun though tanking three Carnifexs. @_@

Anyway, you doods should check the game out. It's a great title doesn't play like a conventional RTS, feels like an RPG, and is totally badass. Plus, Tyranids are fucking sweet, and Eldar don't come off as the pansies they did in DoW1.

There may be more players on Gorfang but I am not sure. I cannot recommend the PVP zone and scenarios enough. Once you have a good grasp on the controls and skills, head to the red contested zone below. You can then just seek and destroy at random or join an open team.



There are almost always ad hoc groups there, you can check for open parties in any given zone. To access the Open Party interface, as a solo player, click on the "3 skull" icon beneath your player portrait on the upper left hand corner of the screen. Make sure you grab the kill X amount of players quests available in the vicinity. There are also quests for capturing and holding key areas. I haven't played Alliance enough to know where the quest givers are located on that side of the contested zone.

To join the queue for a Scenario click on the scenario icon near your map:


I haven't played this in a while, but got back with a free trial, and may join the Endless Trial. What are your characters' names? I unfortunately have no Alliance characters, but could make one, maybe a Witch Hunter.

Here's a couple fun shots of a Caste Keep battle:
