Nikos the great’s creatures & stuff

So, after 4 tries in the beta key contests, I was able to answer the answer the question correctly and in time and got my beta key Here I played quite some hours, and I’m going to tell you my impressions and accept questions. I didn’t feel making a thread for it, because I don’t like making threads regarding myself and my opinions, so the blog’s the perfect thing for it

I’ll also tell you a bit about the new MMORPG, warhammer online, which I got the chance to play on my pc before the release, with beta, again

 The game is amazing. Nothing less than what you expect. The graphics are great, and the gameplay as well. The caracter customization is great, and you got many choices on what your hero will wear, different clothes for the national army and different for the royal one (ok, it’s not spore, you can’t customize *everything* :P. but I’m sure you’ll love it). In the start, you get 5 points which you can spend to the abilities. The abilities are great and fun, but you can say that the commando is kinda underpowered. You also got a list of missions, out of which you can do 3 at a time (it’s hard to explain, let’s leave it at that). The emotions are also great to do when you kill an enemy You can wield 2 weapons at a time (you get to choose from around 5-6 weapons), and a weapons that destroys tanks (dynamite, bazooka, etc). I’ll tell you a bit about every class now.

soldier: I didn’t play as soldier at all, but I know some things. His health is 110, and one of his best abilities is to heal friends (he’s kind of the medic, personally, I hate it when they make a fighting class be a medic too. It doesn’t make sense. It’d be great if there was a medic class.), and the grenade spam, which throws around 6 grenades to the enemy, and if they all hit him, he’s gone for I don’t know more about his abilities, and his gun is…..a normal one.

Gunner: The best, in my opinion. He has 150 health, he’s a bit slow, but his abilities kick ass. There’s an ability which you enable for a short time and you take no damage by bullets (or so I think!), an ability which makes your gun more accurate, an ability that throws a barrel at the enemy and when you shoot at it, it explodes, doing much damage to the enemy, an ability to run faster, etc, etc. He got some strong weapons and some with fast shooting rate but weaker. He can also wield the bazooka.

Commando: Ok, I really liked the idea of that class, but the knife is really, *really* underpowered (people in the official forum agree with me). The knife is supposed to be instant kill….but you need around 4(!) hits to kill the enemy. He gots 80 health, and his main ability is stealth. Unlike team fortress 2, you can keep your stealth forever, until, of course, you shoot. If you go near the enemy, you get a bit revealed…I wouldn’t say he’s the spy class. More like a sniper class that can become invisible. The sniper doesn’t On-hit-KOs, but if you hit at the head, I think it’s extra damage, maybe even one-hit-KO, I’m not sure. But you need around 4 shots to kill an enemy. He can’t have a bazooka, but he can stick dynamites up a tank’s a$$

Oh, and, if you don’t know it, you can’t play it with your friends, the matchmaking puts you with guys of the same skill level as yours. You don’t get a choice The official release date is 30 of September. Ask me anything in the comments, if you want.

I decided to tell you a bit about warhammer online, too-it’s a great game, which with a few patches can surely surpass WoW. The quests are better, because the game shows you where you need to go to do the missions, instead of looking half an hour in the map looking for “south west, in a field, blablabla”, so it’s much more handy. There are also the public quests, which you can do with random people around, without being on a party or something. Anyone can participate in the public quests, there’s no limit, so even 30 people can do a quest together, I know, it’s great! :D The character’s clothes are more customizable too, since you can change its colours. I personally started with the goblin which has a pet with it, and reached level 6 Another great thing about the game is that there are no general classes, but instead, every race has its own classes, making them more special (for example, only the goblin can have the pet, there’s no human, dwarf or elf that can have it). To sum up, the game has a great potential and I’ll definately buy it in the future.

 I say future, cause school started yesterday and I don’t have much free time anymore :( Anyway, if you want to ask me anything about these 2 games, do it in the comments, I’ll happily answer all your questions!
