N3RDCast 10/17/08: Never Been Warhammered
Posted by Kwip on October 17th, 2008 7 Comments 
Trevor, Dr. Sexy and I sit down to discuss some of our questions about Warhammer. Listening to the questions I have, you’ll surmise that I have never actually played Warhammer, but honest, I have a couple characters I can display as proof. Granted, none of them has made it past (or to, at this point) level 10, so obviously I don’t know wtf I’m talking about.
I was puzzled as to why Magii seem to get targetted so often, but Trevor and Sexy clarified it for me: because I’m an easy kill. That actually makes me feel better – I’m getting killed just because I’m an easy target, not because there’s something effective I should be doing but have no idea how to do.
I really love Public Quests and think that they are completely brilliant, but damn, some of those bastiches are hard. But that’s good – it makes them a lot more challenging. I just wish they could scale so that they were HARD but not IMPOSSIBLE when I’m the only one there.
Speaking of Public Quests, Dr. Sexy brought up a good point about the loot bags. I didn’t even know they were randomly assigned – I thought each scenario always produced the same ones, but Trevor sets us straight.
None of us know how to leave scenarios, however. Is it even possible?
And speaking of scenarios, has anyone heard that there are bannable exploits in them? Or at least, ones as lame as banning people that climb on the barracks in Nordenwatch? If that’s a bannable offense, that’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard – you can still hit people on those barracks, and if you don’t want people to be able to get on them, MAKE THEM IMPOSSIBLE TO GET ON. Is it really that hard? Are they banning people that climb on the walls in the fortress? Dumb.
Dr. Sexy has a collection of talismans, but apparently isn’t able to use any of them. I haven’t even seen one of them yet, so I certainly aren’t any help, but Trevor again stepped up with the answers.
If you haven’t heard about it yet, check out Raptr.com. I know at least Dr. Sexy, Tathas, Bini and I are all on it, so if you’re there, give us a /friend.

If/when you guys pick an order server for the bonus, post it somewhere and i’ll join you. I like some of the order areas.
Healer rez is @ 10th, I think for all classes.
Not all PQ’s drop gear better than green items I think. I was reading about some of the PQ’s online, and you can see that all the loot bag drops aren’t the same for the same level tier.
Gorfang!

Is that one that will expire in a few days, or one you’ll go to on the next round?
Don’t listen to Dr. Sexy, he’s drunk. Also, a filthy, filthy dorf. I’m trying to level my Shammie tonite on Phoenix Throne, come help me! I saw the drops you got yesterday (on Raptr, another plug!) – were those PQ loots?
Oh that’s the one that expires on the 17th. Is there more that are going for next round? If so, I’m fine with starting somewhere else too, I’m just messing around trying to find the right class for me on the order side.

I’m guessing they’ll either do it again, or extend the current deadlines. I’ve actually enjoyed the Shadow Warrior a lot. The White Lion would be fun, but the pet can be really buggy.
Kwip, uh, sure that’s where my loot came from? Yup, sure was. Um, maybe? Actually, I think they were RvR gear from the Renown Mechants @ the RvR basecamp (which seem to sell better stuff than the normal renown guys do). And that was my char on Ostermark, not Phoenix Throne.
Not sure if i’ll be able to get on tonight or not. We’ve got company coming in this weekend for a baby shower, which i’m being forced to attend, so we’re probably going to be cleaning a little tonight till they get in. What time do you think you’ll be on?

Looks like they have several servers with the bonues until 10/24. Amazingly enough, two of them are for Destruction. Let me know which one you guys want to play on and what your names will be.
