NEW Races!

[Astoron]

Well heres some more news from WoW. I'm following this game everyday and from what I read the game is for sure having pvp. From All the stuff i've read and all the city pic's I've seen (of cities) the game looks to be faction run. So prolly Team based. But you never know, Blizzard has always released pvp servers in all their games! Heres the news straight from the article.

1. SC got email from CGW Mag (HUGE INFO). | 8/22/2003 2:12:54 AM GMTDT


Well first off I like to say thank you to TheGreatMoose for getting this information started for all of us. Nice work Moose

His thread is pretty big you can read it here

I am going to copy and paste the reply e-mail I got from Jeff Green Editor-In-Chief for Computer Gaming World just a few minutes ago.
Thank you Jeff.

Hey Starbabie,



Yeah, that info on battle.net is true---we are doing a cover story on WoW in our October issue. It’s 10 pages (I don’t think I’ve mentioned that yet), and will include the remaining playable races. I still have to keep quiet about who and what they are, but I can tell you that it’s at least two new playable races. Woo hoo! Subscribers will start getting their issues any day now—they were mailed out on 8/19, and it will be on newsstands on Sept 2.



The game looks great!!



Hope that helps….



Jeff

i have a subscription to cgw so i will get it soon!

[Astoron]

Gotta let us know as soon as you get it omg omg omg!

[Mindgames]

i have a subscription to CWG as well i cant wait~

by the way if i forgot to tell you all... i was talking to an admin a while back about the pvp situation on the boards...

GM's and admins will be playing the mobs in the game.. of course most will be computer run but when you are getting bum-rushed by a bunch of Treants you will be getting PKed by GM's. I think thats funny. And of course keeping aggro on a boss mob will be pretty tough when its a real person playing it~

Each guild will get their own Guild Hall (kinda like a building to call your own) and GMs will take over NPCs and try to jack your guild hall and what not so you have to defend it..~

OMG GMONES ARE IN BONERS ALL AROUND..

GFraizer has just confirmed the new CGW info. Please click here to read his post.

The races are as follows:

Forsaken/Undead: Horde
Trolls: Horde
Gnomes: Alliance

The new classes are:

Paladin
Priest
Rogue

Also announced are Heroes. When you hit level 40, your character can become a hero. Details on exactly how this works has not been given as of now though. Check back later for more information!

I think the priest = Cleric type :P
Since most of us are gnome lovers does DB = Alliance?

Click me for a good time~ (http://warol.com/ediart/cgw10cover.jpg)

[Astoron]

heres some new for all you guys. Has PVP INFO! YES THERE WILL BE PVP!

Scans from CGW can be found basically anywhere. We aren't linking to other sites that put up all the scans of all 10 pages because not only is it ILLEGAL, but it discourages buying the magazine, which you should do if you are a true fan.

We can say we know this:

-Undead, Trolls, and Gnomes are the last of the playable races.
-Undead and Trolls are in the Horde. Gnomes are in the Alliance.
-Paladins, Rogues, and Priests are the last of the playable classes.
-Players become heroes at level 40.
-Two confirmed heroes are: Demon Hunter (Night Elf Hunter) and Mountain King (Dwarven Warrior).
-Core stats are leveled automatically, while players are given additional points to spend on additional stats or secondary skills.
-The Character design process includes naming your character, selecting race, then class, then appearance. You can jump into playing right away.
-There is a built in buddy and e-mail system.
-Factions definatly cannot group with each other
-Humans ride Horses
-Orcs ride Wolves
-Tauren have plains running, a skill to run fast
-Dwarves ride rams
-Night Elves ride Nightsabres
-Undead ride Nightmares
-Trolls and Gnomes don't have mounts yet
-Humans, Dwarves, and Gnomes ride Gryphons
-Night Elves ride Hippogryphs
-Orcs, Tauren, and Trolls ride Wind Runners
-Undead ride bat-like creatures (unnamed)
-Boats have scheduled times for when they sail
-PvP takes place in Arenas (Free for alls), Out in the fields (Faction battles), and in a Consentual duel (1v1)
-All Alliance speaks Common
-All Horde speaks Orcish
-Each race has it's own language on top of the "common speech"
-Undead start with the ability to speak both Common and Orcish.
-Dungeons have plus mobs, which are stronger versions of normal mobs
-Over 100 Mini dungeons
-Over 20 huge dungeons
-The largest dungeon can take a whole week for an entire guild to go through.
-Players can create instances, and from there, invite other layers to join them in their instance. If you leave the game while in an instance, when you log back in, you'll be back in the instance.
-Rogues have backstab, swift strike, knockout, and more skills. They focus on doing the damage.
-Priests are the best healers and buffers in the game. They can manipulate their opponent's mind. They can focus on shadow or holy magic.
-Paladins are Alliance only (much ike Shamans are Horde only). They focus on healing and buffing, and have supportive Auras.
-Druids can shapeshift into an aquatic and a tree form, on top of their other forms.
-Warlocks can summon Doomguards, on top of their other summons.
-Shamans can place totems on the ground that work like a witch doctor's wards in Warcraft III.
-Rituals are multi-user spells. One ritual summons a portal to a town.
-Lock picking allows player to open trasure chests that others cannot open.
-Riding allows you ride mounts and even ride the mounts of other races (at high levels

[Skcalidrone]

Yeah an Undead Rogue would be cool. Very cool

[Mindgames]

be a gnome~

[Xondio]

Did they say anything about the pvp setup yet? I try to keep away from hype... so i haven't been reading much on wow

[Skcalidrone]

Hey Xondio...who is that? =P

[Xondio]

my soon to be wife :(

[Vallidus]

shes very, very purty

[Xondio]

I don't know... I think Gray's pretty too... I just hate picking :(




ah hah :cool:

[Vallidus]

Id like to see her boobies plz, see what ya can arrange?

Full set of cloth armor in it for you, EVEN the necklace!

But back to WoW, I must say I wasnt that excited abotu it, sure it looked nice but hey, dont they all these days heh, but after this new info, omfg I cannot wait :D

But shit, Darkenbane as the allies?!? Screw that, we gotsta be Horde :D

Sure there was a lotta gnomes in db but damned how many Dark Elves did we have? Hell in the beginning Db was a Rp DE pk guild wasnt it? Or maybe it was Dawn of Malevolence

[Astoron]

Ya DE way out number the gnomes in DB lol. We had maybe what? like 4 gnomes, some halflings and the rest were DE. We HAVE to be the horde. I mean come on, trolls, undead and orc. That sounds bad ass to me. I'll not be a human thats for shizzle my nizzle. So in conclusion I second brother Vallidus. Now all we need is a writen bill and BAM, we have a new law rofl.

[GrayRage]

Heyas guys :)


Alot of good info! As for picking which team, no worries on this...we have alot of time and even the beta to decide :) Someone post links /and or the new pics ;p

[Xondio]

undead ..... ...... :cool:

[Astoron]

I'll most likely be an undead warlock or mage! As for the new pics... *sighs* I cant find them anywhere.
cgw is calling it Illegal to post their pics. So no sites have them. Also I wanted to point out that if you go to the main Blizzard WoW site they are now hiring GM's and shit for the game. It's looking real close to beta!

[Skcalidrone]

How are we gonna do this again? Use every IP address possible to sign up? Also, If I'm at school, I have like 30 computers on a network. Do they all share an IP address? Because if not I could definately sign up on each one =D. Can't fucking wait!

[GrayRage]

Let me tell you how the questions in the application for beta will go:

Name:
Email:
Physical address:

There will be experience questions and whether u are with the media ect. The application will prolly log your IP address as well. My guess is they will limit one beta account per person and will do this by comparing Email addresses/Physical addresses/names.

As such, do an application for each email u have with a different name, different email and different physical address (but one u can get the CD from when they mail it to you). USe your mom's email/physical address/name....sisters.....freind's ect.

[Astoron]

http://www.blizzard.com/wow/townhall/undead.shtml

Heres some new Screens for us to Drools over. OMFG I cant wait until this shit comes out

[Skcalidrone]

Yup That does it. Undead Rogue for me

[GrayRage]

I dunno....the Horde seems to be seriously lacking on hot chicks :( Allies have Humans, Night Elves (both HOT chicks! ;p) Need hotties!

[Skcalidrone]

What about those undead chicks? At least they're not fat...

[Astoron]

Ya it does lack in hot chicks. But most of the hot chicks are FAT old gay guys anyhow lol. The Alliance just lacks in cool factor:D Prolly going Undead mage or Warlock here!

[Vallidus]

Shit yes, Undead look sooooo suhweet

[Xondio]

I see enough hot chicks in one day at college... i don't need to switch teams on a game where 60 year old naked men masturbate while playing WoW as girls and cybering with unsuspecting people... hahaha.. it's a shame too, because i know a pretty decent girl who plays EQ.

anyway... im going undead... but if you're going alliance, the human males look bad ass in armor, that's what i'd go with if i joined the alliance, but im not gay... er i mean it's not my style to go alliance... hehe :p

[GrayRage]

60 year old naked men masturbate while playing WoW as girls and cybering with unsuspecting people

I am NOT 60!

[Astoron]

LoL. Dont tell that to tera. He loves DE chicks!. But I would like to try something new... EQ had humans gnomes and dwarfs. Hrode just seems mean and nasty! Astoron is mean and Nasty. they dont call me Nasty Asty for no reason( Sheerah gave me that nick name ages ago). Horde looks like the shizzle fo Rizzle!

[Xondio]

oh man... that was you gray? i thought that was some hot chick..

gray played a girl in eq and cybered me :(



lol

[Astoron]

man i dont know now. After looking at some videos and shit Humans look tight and the Alliance looks cool too. Im stuck between the two. We should have a Vote or something Grey. Humans dont look gay like they did on EQ. Plus thos chicks are way hot!

[Astoron]

I got two new pics here for ya guys! Enjoy, It's for a Human town!
http://wow.warcry.com/index.php

[Mindgames]

ya im gonna wanna play a gnomer thats for sure.. orcs tauren and undead look like crap anyway.. humans look tight so do the night elves and the gnomes are gonna >

[GrayRage]

I can already tell u how we will decide. about 2 weeks before beta, on our WoW private board (by then I will have one set up after getting in all the DBers who will be playing WoW), I will start a thread on which team to pick. We will debate it for 2 days or so and then I will put up the official poll.

This will happen after we have all been in beta and played all the races. we will have alot more info to go by and we will know what factiosn the other guilds are goin to be. A day or two of discussions will allow everyone to make their points and try to get everyone to pick which team they want.

In the end, we will go with whichever team has the most votes from those who have been accepted to play DB for WoW release. The poll will be done based on your login so it's not possible to cheat.

This will likely be our most important decision as it will surely be a lasting one so we will take it very seriously.

[Toaday]

Yes this will be a VERY VERY important decision. We all know how much picking the neutral team affected our play and longevity on SZ.

[Xondio]

i'm sure we'll have fun no matter which team we decide to go. and we'll do alot of killin' too.

[GrayRage]

I still think Neutral Team was the best choice. Being on the evil team would have so gimp. And being on the goody team woulda been like Rallos ;p

[Astoron]

I played on the Evil team on sullon. All the way up to a level 54 SK. only took me a few months though. You are right Gray ,the evil team was such shit. On WoW im gonna vote horde . I already know because I want to be a warlock-Undead

[Xondio]

Playing on evil team for SZ is like playing for AD in RZ. It has no point and the same could be accomplished on the blue servers. Unless your idea of fun is being in a group of 1000000 and taking down 1 guy every couple weeks or so.

[Astoron]

Ya I was only evil though because I wanted to try an SK. No real other reason.
