 Posts: 2384 Joined: 28 Sep 2003   | I'm sure the GM's will do a fine job at encorporating war while at the same time making it relevant to the plot, it's gonna be awesome. |

Posts: 496 Joined: 29 Oct 2003  | I personally think the full scale PvP race wars will be what characters do once they reach max level. The speed with which it sounds like you can get to high levels (5 hours or so to get to level 10 I hear) perhaps indicate that Blizzard plans for a lot of people to reach max level (which is somewhere around 60 or so theoretically...) Once these people reach max level they'll need things to do, and what better than engaging in large scale PvP combats? This will keep those crazy high level people out of the way of the newbies still working on their characters while also giving them something to do. Granted, those last 50 levels are not going to be coming as fast as the first 10, but it does seem that blizzard is not trying to keep people away from reaching max level. I wouldn't be surprised to see people up in the 40-50's within two or three weeks into the release from the sound of things. |

 Posts: 551 Joined: 4 Nov 2003  | Hmm, it would be waaaaaaaaaaaay to laggy. But it is still a very nice idea. We'll just have to wait and see what Blizz does. |
 Posts: 106 Joined: 24 Nov 2003 | <LABEL id=HbSession SessionId="3817797961">It depends how they create the game... SWG was created a way which means it loads up small parts at a time which means it reduces the lag by ALOT.. i mean i lived like all across the world from my server and it didnt lagg... it would probably lagg a bit yes... and btw... from lvl 40-60 will be HARD to gain.. especially the last 5 lvls... probably take weeks to get one lvl at that stage...</LABEL> |
Posts: 478 Joined: 9 Sep 2003 | They have to do something like that. It would be so cool. but, yeah lag does pose a problem. I guess it's just wishfull thinking. :SAD: |
 Posts: 23 Joined: 11 Nov 2003 | Hold on...do you mean that after the first few weeks all the random units will be gone? That does not make sense... |
Posts: 149 Joined: 3 Dec 2003 | No Zon3r, I think Koga_Ringo meant that after a while players would get bored with killing creeps all day long (for leveling purposes) and would venture more and more into PvP gameplay. You're right, the spawning grounds of "random units" or creeps do not ever disappear completely, except perhaps in the instanced dungeons. |
Posts: 123 Joined: 13 Dec 2003 | I dont agree with you on calling it KILLING creeps so far ive learnd that there are creeps for every level so there even may be creeps that are almost invincible to a max-lvl player |
Posts: 253 Joined: 3 Nov 2003 | well it wont be invincible but they have said that some major bosses will require many high level players to defeat it |
 Posts: 148 Joined: 17 Jan 2004 | War will be cool, and i betting that blizzard will definitly have places where clans or guilds can battle each other to the death and recieve things for winning. Even maybe in the future get a time set and set a server for just a major battle between races. We will see what happens. We also have to think about what major bosses exist within the story line. :LOL: |
 Posts: 24 Joined: 1 Feb 2004 | What i'd really like is attacking Alliance territory and seizing it for the Horde faction. Say you attack Hillsbrad, you wipe out all Alliance members within. The town and the area changes hands and becomes Horde territory. In a few game days a caravan will arrive and merchants and other facilities will set themselves up, allowing for future campaings into Alliance lands from Hillsbrad as a base. However the Alliance will catch wind of this and both PC and NPC fighters will be dispatched to attempt to retake the town. I don't expect to be able to conquer starting cities. But it'd be fun to lead small campaigns and taking territory for yourself or your guild for more realism. Though sieging Stormwind Keep would be fun/ |
Posts: 148 Joined: 17 Jan 2004 | I do not worry about the alliance hearing of this. Let them hear for my powers will enslave them like they did to us. And my demons will eat them alive. So do not be troubled troll. |
Posts: 2384 Joined: 28 Sep 2003 | Rattan what you say is not far from the truth. There are battle fields that can be converted, depending on who prevails victorious, to the winning faction. Angel of Mercy I see your urge for bloodlust and demonic control but I warn you, the powers of the light are overwhelming in certain areas so do not be too rash or your race will be driven back like their first assault on Stormwind. I do not doubt your strength, for I travel from one area of the land to the next, but be cautious. |
Posts: 148 Joined: 17 Jan 2004 | Not bloodlust and or demonic control, i am a new age of warlock. one who seeks knowledge and power. I do nothing for the demons. |
Posts: 478 Joined: 9 Sep 2003 | Interesting wording, Sipher. :SMILE: |
Posts: 24 Joined: 1 Feb 2004 | I like the sound of this even more. Now if they go the distance and allow us to set up a temporary base for attacking enemy holdings that would be the best. Taking control of Blackrock Spire is a very pleasing thought. Angel of Mercy, you say you are not controlled by your bloodlust. Yet you still utilize the demon magiks. Best remember what happened to your people the last time they dabbled in demon magik. |
Posts: 148 Joined: 17 Jan 2004 | true, but the demons magic are different because of the bond with shamenisom. We control the magic, not it control us. Also there is no demon hold over my people and i will not allow that to happen. Like the human curosity for magic, us orcs have the same thing as well. So my demons powers are redefind for this new age. |
Posts: 24 Joined: 1 Feb 2004 | I wonder how the Scourge will play into this. Perhaps at some point the armies in Northrend will strike down upon both the Forsaken of the Plaguelands and the Night elves of Kalimdor |
Posts: 8 Joined: 13 May 2005 | I agree...for example one minor or moderate battle groun is the Terren Mill. Yes we should start out on small battles then go to larger ones like raids on major Alliance grounds...for example Stormwind. Ironfordge, and Darnasses. :EVIL: |
Posts: 8 Joined: 13 May 2005 | That would be coo having the Scourge comeing down...and having a massive war...but you have to think. Not all players are high lvls and will jist get them selves killed...but i would be cool in Blizzards part to do something like that...Especially going after the :EVIL:Alliance :EVIL: |
 Posts: 50 Joined: 15 Jun 2005 | Techniquely Blizzard is making it so it builds up to a war. 1st they started it off easy with just haveing raids. Now they have brought in Honor points, wich make you wanna kill the other faction much more, and Battlegrounds. Hopefully soon it will all lead up to a war. |
Posts: 2 Joined: 12 Sep 2005 | it will probaly last about a week and start up again every month or two. That would be a good time to have a war in this game. THey could implement mass summoning spells requireing more that one person to activate it. its a good idea and anyone who disagrees with me is a gnome.
and gnome punting. gnome punting must be added |
Posts: 26 Joined: 14 Feb 2006 | yup!! im looking forward to it also..... |
Posts: 12 Joined: 16 Feb 2006 | I am always down for war :p |
Posts: 2 Joined: 3 Nov 2006 | I think it'd be awesome if you could betray your faction and either work for the opposing side or be a loner or neutral. If you become neutral maybe you could start your own little guild mixed of Alliance and Horde and fight against other guilds, etc. Also as mentioned above it would be cool if you could take enemy towns or lands over. |
Posts: 22 Joined: 12 Dec 2006 | They should just have a two week long war, where you take over the enemies towns and whatever faction wins, wins. Everything should respawn to normal when its over. Then another war would start a year or 6 months after. You should also be able to "recruit" NPC guards and mercenaries to help you out, and high PvP rank players would access a special map, where they can design an attack on a town and submit it. Others can then try them out. They could also have special "rampage" times where all mana/energy/rage bars are set to full and dont run out. All stats should be set to high for that rampage time, which should only last one or two hours. The "rampage" buff! Other factions could also fight in the war, and you could try and take their towns too. Anyone think my idea is stupid? |

I am greatly looking forward to WoW, mainly for the Species warfare. The first month of this game will be quite entertaining, but think of a couple of months after that, when neutral units no longer quench peoples thirst!! Races will turn on eachother, and the 4th war will be at hand!!
I really think there should be an entire forum made spcifically for war. And anyone that wants to shake some testosterone can rumble it out!! I would love to be a part of that.
Anyways, i look forward to the game, and I hope I will be accepted for Beta testing.
