The Penny Arcade, (a popular internet gaming
webcomic if this is your first time on the intrawebs), has successfully
made me laugh at this week's drastic class cuts. Check out the comic: The Wheat/Chaff Ratio

Capital Cities FAQ and ChaosCast

A few items of business. EA Mythic posted another FAQ following yesterday's on Careers and Punkbuster, this one on Capital Cities. I'm a little more impressed with this one than yesterday's but not by that much. I almost believed the spin they tried to give it, "Cutting content has made the game even awesomer!" (paraphrased). I'll let my monthly subscription do the talkin' when I get to Tier 4, until then I'll just /cry.
While you're around check out Episode 4 of the ChaosCast.

Career Changes and PunkBuster FAQ

The Warherald threw this post up
today answering some questions about the recent cuts and delays.
Personally I'm not really impressed, it's exactly what I would expect
them to say in this situation and I don't really buy the "it was for
the better" argument after years of "we will release a finished game".
PR 101:
"We understand that many
players were excited about these careers, but our dedication to do what
was right for the product and ensure that we were shipping a GREAT game
won out. As developers, sometimes we have to make difficult calls in
order to make WAR the best RvR MMO on the market."
Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have more official comments on the
matter but my broken Chaos soul hasn't healed. How will I prove my
worth to Tzeentch without a Choppa at my side and a KoBS at my feet?
On a related note the Waaagh! posted a much more positive spin recently
on the events. So after you have cried in your favorite dark corner
read Black Friday's 12 Spots of Good News.

4 Classes, 4 Captital Cities: Cut from Release

This is a pretty serious cut heading into the
final months before release. The only two capital cities that will make
it in are Altdorf and Inevitable City. These classes won't be in on
launch day: Choppa (Greenskin), Hammerer (Dwarf), Blackguard (Dark
Elf), Knight of the Blazing Sun (Empire). This is surprising to me with
all the talk of 100% finalized and polish before release. The article
linked below talks about it, it starts out talking about Mythic's
recent partnership with punkbuster.

From the Warherald:
"The drums of WAR sound again!
Legions of guilds and their members finally descend upon the Age of Reckoning.
Beta 3, the final Beta phase before Open Beta, has begun. With it's
coming tens of thousands of new testers will be welcomed to the ranks.
The first batch of many has been loosed to guilds, contest winners,
event attendees, and a host of others so check your inbox or beta
center...you never know, you may be one of them!
All winning guilds have been contacted, if for some reason you have
not received your codes and have been notified by me in the past please
contact me directly so we can ensure you and your guild are able to
participate.
This is an exciting time for WAR and Beta and we look forward to facing you on the battlefield...
WAAAGH!!!"
