Further clarification of Warhammer
DateTime:7/8/2009 5:21:12 PM

The Marauder sounds great, chaotic mutated ilk and the like. Personally, I'm more into the Green Skins. The other big thing going on deals with tool-tips, you know those tip popup tool things that display information. The problem the developer team had before is the combat abilities are always increasing in rank, wreaking havoc on the tool-tips. Huh? Yea, I guess it makes more sense if you are in the beta. Further clarification:

"Some upcoming changes will finally allow us to show you some more of the actual numbers that drive your abilities. For example, a Bright Wizard's "Sear" will no longer simply say "A basic magical attack", but will instead say "Deals 18 Elemental damage to your target", and you'll be able to see the automatic upgrades that are inherent in your abilities when it says "Deals 47 Elemental damage to your target" a couple of ranks later. Additionally, we'll have far-more-detailed ability data, including build time, cooldown time, cost, range, requirements, and so on, for every ability."

Much better, I'm full. There's a lot of information to mull over, and I'm quite content with what the developers had to report. That's the end of this edition with checking in with the Warhammer Online beta. Check out now, go post in the comments on how much you miss Warhammer or how much you think it will suck. Yea, I want to know. I actually read the comments on the posts I write. It sounds like the folks in beta will have a lot to look forward to once the beta cranks up again in December. The rest of us, people like me with no beta invite, will get to go back to feverishly checking our e-mail every 30 seconds, hoping, waiting, and crying when nothing but that wang spam greets us. Curse you, phallus enhancer overlords!
