The Good:
Mythic's teaming up with Punkbuster. This is good news, should sace many a stolen account (ArenaNet?) cheats and other unhappines.
The Bad:
4 Classes are being cut from launch, and not sure when they’ll be in: Dwarves’ Hammerer, Empire’s Knight of the Blazing Sun, Dark Elves’ Blackguard, and the Greenskins’ Choppa. If you’re counting that’s 2 tanks and 2 Melee-DPS classes. All 4 of which I was really interested in.
The Ugly:
the capital cities for the Dark Elf, High Elf, Orc, and Dwarf factions will not be in the game at launch. The Human city of Altdorf and the Chaos Inevitable City will be the only Capital cities in the game.
So, Two out of Three End Game scenario's won't be in. Three out of Three WAR sections will have an inherent class imbalance (on top of expected faction imbalance) due to the 4 missing classes.
No wonder Paul Barnett doesn't like to go to GDC.
So the ongoing battles (race VS race) are gonna be imbalanced due to a certain race containing one more dps class or one more tank, HMMM, games already buggered up before release, very unexpected however that they have taken 4 praised classes out?!?!
They're not taken out so much as "delayed".
It's an issue because all races were balanced to have 1 Tank, 1 Melee DPS, 1 Ranged and 1 Healer. Some races will have to do without 1/4th their arsenal. For instance, Empire has no Melee DPS, Dark Elves no Tank.
Chaos, who'll be opposing Chaos and High Elves opposing the Dark Elves have the full range of classes.
