Juicy Details on Warhammer Online from EA Mythic
An article written by Warhammer Online on Warcry details all of a conference call conversation with EA Mythic regarding their upcoming gritty fantasy MMO, and includes a ton of very juicy details. Check out the full article here. Some choice bits, including details on collision:
They also clarified a question on collision. There will definitely be collision in RvR, so that characters can block each other, and guard their squishy cloth-wearing friends from attack. No more ignoring tanks and going straight to the healer! However, ranged attacks will not be blocked by player collision, including both magic and arrow attacks.On "famous" NPCs from Warhammer lore:
We will be seeing all kinds of famous faces, from Teclis to Malekith to Karl Franz, and apparently defeating these guys will gain you some kind of "hero" status in the game, with genuinely impressive fame resulting from that.... and on the magus' flying disk:
But the class that everyone seemed to want to know about was the Chaos Magus. Since we learned that he will be riding a Disk of Tzeentch at all times, people have been buzzing about this class. The EA Mythic team went more in-depth about the Magus, and especially about the Disk! The Disk is basically a flat, flying Chaos shark, with lots of eyeballs and teeth and tentacles. It is a nasty, mean Chaos demon, and as such it will have its own abilities, and play a role in combat with its own attacks. It will change and develop over time along with the character.
