It’s almost that time again…

Everyone’s hard at work putting the final touches on the new and improved WAR Beta. With the end in sight, excitement is running very high here at EA Mythic HQ.  Thanks to all the patient testers who stayed active in discussions during the downtime.  Your feedback has been a critical part of this latest round of changes and improvements.

I’ll see you on the battlefield shortly.

A final freebie:

There are no “Blood Priests” in WAR.

    Hah! That should put to the end all this “Blood Priest” nonsense. Thx Josh. 🙂

    I had to make an account just to express my gratitude for the freebie. Can’t wait for the Beastmaster information. 😉

    Thanks Josh, and good luck with the Beta re-opening. Here’s hoping everything goes smoothly!

    Who said anything about Beastmasters?

    MUST.

    MAINTAIN.

    ANTICIPATION.

    Who? Why, Paul of course! He kept going on and on about who they are and how they fight, and kept blabbering about their Hydras in the recent Play magazine article. (Sounds like he really likes them! The info’s much appreciated, Paul! :D)

    Not to mention all the hints in all the Dark Elf lore snippits on the website. There’s no mention of any other potential 4th career other than the Blood Priest, but you just put that one to rest yourself!

    But, yes, I suppose I am getting ahead of myself, here, aren’t I Josh. Read nothing into this speculation, folks!

    [MAINTAIN ANTICIPATION]

    Stop trying to poke and prod more information out of him Asuril 😛 I don’t know about Josh but it would be rather difficult for me keep things status quo.

    Only nineteen more days tell the end of the month… only nineteen…. Doesn’t sound short at all.

    Hope you keep with the updates, and freebies. ^^

    Glad to see there should be no more Blood Priest talk. Keep us updated and don’t forget to toss out Sorcerer “freebies” while you are feeling generous!

    Thanks for the freebie Josh. 😀

    I DO hope you realize that the issue was never with the “Blood Priest” name, but with it implying that the class is a Khaine-based healer, right? And by saying “There are no “Blood Priests” in WAR.” it sounds to us as “don’t be silly, of course we’re not as stupid as to include a Khaine-based healer; after all the God of MURDER would never give the power to heal others to his followers as that would be like praying to the God of Darkness to get a light bulb fixed”.

    We don’t care what it’s CALLED, we care that it’s NOT a Khaine-based healer/support class. Just wanted to make that clear.

    Hey, it’s not MY fault you guys weren’t clear when somebody first asked me about it. So, to finally put it to rest, the Dark Elf healer i-

    Huh?

    Hang on a sec. There’s someone at the door.

    Dammit. Sorry guys, the mailman’s grown another set of tentacles and for some reason he’s blaming me. I’ve gotta go sort this out.

    I love how Xurre always says “we” when speaking on her behalf. Most of us do not care what it is as long as it is fun. Khaine based or not. But then again, this is all prerelease drama and four months after the game launches, nobody will even remember these issues.

  11. Vid on December 15th, 2007 9:43 pm

    “We” is perfectly acceptable, because I don’t want to see a Khaine based healer either.

    Josh, I thought of you more as a Dark Elf than a chaosling. Did you heal the mailman with chaos magic and are dropping a hint that the Druchii healer will have connections with chaos? Hmmmm?

    *poke poke*

    Well?

    As long as it’s a rocking melee healer!
