Funny you should call it a derail when in fact something like this is almost a "railroaded conclusion" of the game "balance" changes that CCP is doing.

Sadly I couldn't find an appropriate class in WAR that corresponds to the Minmatar race, I tried but no matter where I looked, it seems unlike CCP, Mythic makes sure there ISN'T a bastard read headed step child for them to nerf, beat, nerf, beat, ignore, beat, nerf and down right treat like complete and utter disdain to the point of been insulting to their user base.
Basically I had to choose a well balanced race/class that was competent in PvP, sort of takes the skill out of it when your not prenerfed for the heck of it.
So if your Chaos and on an Oceanic server and getting thrashed by a Witch Hunter, then HI!

Edited by: Derek Sigres on 16/10/2008 01:56:09 They have thier pros and cons. Witch hunter is a bit more difficult to be effective with.
They do gobs of damage but you're expected to be at point blank range to do it in. Shadow Warrior on the other hand has incredible reach and is generally useful against anything that you can touch with an arrow.
I prefer Witch Hunter myself but I figured I'd give shadow warrior another go anyway.

I said that when the changes first were announced. I said that a week after, and a week after that. I haven't seen any signs of CCP doing something intelligent to address the problem and scrapping their current plans. I doubt we're going to see that. At this point I don't really care that much, but that's mostly because I've discovered Warhammer. At least at this point, the Warhammer dev's understand their own game, which is more than you can say for the EVE devs and their HG snakes.
I do have to say though, a Minmatar BS nerf is exactly what this patch needed to satisfy the lulzfactor. IMO they should also throw a nerf into large artillery, just for good measure.
Yeah I'm all but ready to drop 3 30-32M SP Eve characters on the floor between this ******ation Eve is calling a patch and the sheer amount of fun I have in Warhammer. Order > Dest, btw..
-Liang
That good eh? My mates who orginally got me into Eve nearly 5 years ago all reckon it's ace and keep badgering me to join (they all left Eve 1-2 years ago pretty much)... I'm still kind of loyal to Eve, though, if they kill off the Blasterthron thats 73M SP of not-so-much-fun-anymore... --------------

Warhammer Online - I was gonna wait and see how it pans out before I try another online game.
Now that CCP seems hellbent to roll out this speed nerf of everything that moves and make the game stale I'm thinking of dropping my 3 EVE accounts and WAR seem to be a nice replacement, it looks fun, fresh and exiting.
Did I say that it looks FUN?
As for EVE... CCP can probably continue to sucker in new people for a few more years with fluff and pr-bullshit before more people sees through the crap and subscriptions start to take a serious drop, at which time they probably sell the company to EA.

Warhammer = WoW with better PvP, but crappy PvE.
WoW = Latest patch changed the game.
EVE = Subtle changes that keep the game stumbling along.

Oh well, maybe they'll do cross-server scenarios in the future and I can hunt you squishy archers and witch hunters down.

You're just jealous of my 20 second queue time... and I look forward to rocking your world. We were running with three shadow warriors last night and were instavolleying all the Destro squishies... :P
On vent it sounded like: "Shamuaun, Magus back left" "On it", "Confirm" 3s later: "He's down, Zarbut, orc on the healers" "On it", "Got him" "Snared", "Acid" "Down." ...
Destro was getting romped like 500 v 64 on Norden ;-)

Ed: We didn't win every time though... when we lost it was usually something like 475 / 500. That said, Warhammer has a tremendous capacity for team playing... and you won't get the everloving hell blobbed out of you which is nice.
Eve Fleet Warfare meets WAR RvR. God help the enemies of order. 
That being said, on the Core servers there isn't much of a problem with the "blob" per se. On the Open RvR server my main is on, any time you set foot into the RvR zone you can rest assured there is a group of Chaos guys 10 levels higher just waiting to come out and crush any hope of doing any good. Luckily, core servers prevent such atorcities by enforcing the level cap.
I myself from time to time would run into the Chaos noob zone as a level 16 Witch Hunter and screw with the people innocently trying to run a public quest. It was so unfair the game wouldn't give me experience or reknown even after I killed a dozen level 3's. I think the only way to cap this story is with the trusty .

Looked at Warhammer, yuck. Not for me. Sci Fi > Fantasy
I'd rather limp along in brick nerfed falcon jammed phoons, and whine on the forums here about the devs stupidity in adding mass and turning the game into Caldari online.
Hope you guys have fun though. If CCP rectifies their mistakes please come back.

Yes, I do have queue-envy. T_T
The battlegrounds go back and forth though. We win most t3 on my server, except alliance mostly queue for Tor since they all have lame knockbacks and it is filled with lava, haha. Still, with good teams, I've shut out alliance on Tor 500-0 where they didn't even kill one of us, hehe. If and when they nerf bright wizards damage a bit (the Amarr of the game) and buff Magus (the tempest), it'll definitely be a tough sell for me to roll Order.
And let's face it. My Marauder definitely looks cooler.

The knockback attacks are one of the most awesomely overpowered things in gaming. I mean, sure they don't really do any damage and most people don't bother getting to a good angle before using them but that doesn't limit their potential. Even on Nordenwatch, where there's nothing around that's going to hurt you, if you simply take a step to the side and THEN knock the offending marauder/witch elf/Chosen off the cliff into the sea it takes them out of the fight for several minutes while they desperately try to find the 3 foot wide section of beach you can actually walk up.
On the subject of looks though, the Marauder is a fary cry from the Chosen in my book. When you see a reasonably high level chosen wandering about radiating evil you get the definite feeling that they're badass. All a marauder has is an arm that becomes a sword.
And I think the Witch Hunter looks pretty sweet in an "evil puritan" sort of way.

Early on we look a bit lame, but later we look pretty mean. Sort of a barbarian look to the class with the mix of horned/spikey helm and shoulders, and the rest leather, all riding you down on our mutated black horse. Check the concept art, there's more going on than the arm, hehe.

While it it somewhat lame in comparison to the great deals of Eve (or WoW I suppose), it's basically the standard for MMO releases these days. It should be noted that your fifty bucks does pay for the first month. I have no idea what it costs per month.
