Im gonna be totally rude here and say that Snide´s beard looked kinda wild and kinda spotty for my taste but that combined with the trucker hat DID make him look like a true trucker which is never wrong.
Im also liking that my screenshots are covering every WAR story now. makes me really glad im contributing to the site.

A couple of comments on what some of you guys said, and hopefully, it'll make you look at it in a slightly different view...as I tried to compare the game based on what I've known about WoW over these years as well, and it really doesn't help things:

1. Snide, you said you are worried about melee DPS being OP. I can understand what you mean, and especially after rolling a Dwarven Ironbreaker, their hamstring ability (can't remember exactly what it's called) can be VERY OP if you have a full 100 grudge on that toon. I think the based dmg on it is something like 186 dmg over 10 seconds + 40% movement impairing. I would just hit an enemy once, then pop hamstring, and sit back while they hit me. With all the parry and block built into that class, as well as all these weird little warlock-like DoTs, yeah...I can understand. On the flip side of things, Black Orcs get the same thing.

My main is a Chaos Marauder, and while it's a good melee DPS class, I wouldn't say they are OP. They do get a move that takes them out of movement impairs, but it has a pretty decent cooldown to it, and against ranged classes who all get a snare ability, it means that they can keep melee DPS down pretty good.

And that's where the thing about it all kicks in: we're used to thinking of PvP in WoW terms. That game is very 1v1-centric, whether anyone wants to admit it or not. There is no balance to Warhammer, because when you ARE doing PvP, it will most likely be against a fuck ton of people. I've been in enough Stonetroll Crossing RvR scenarios to know by now that ranged will fuck me up if I try to go against them, and especially alone. Other melees, or even an engineer if they are fucking retarded, are quite a battle.

I'm mostly worried about HEALING classes being OP, because....even with an MS-type of attack...I can't kill them, and that's after popping a couple of potions. I was watching my brother play his Warrior Priest, and the amount of healing and how little it costs them...plus the fact that all healing classes seem to have either very low or no cast times at all...really have me worried about both them and Runepriests.

2. Jeff, you mentioned at the end the "grind" of it all. Honestly, there's not really much of a grind. I know a good handful of guys that have picked it up and don't play more than 2 hours at a time, and that's not even every day. Regardless, they feel like they are accomplishing a ton in the game. As well, they are still having fun. I don't know...personally, I almost feel like I have ACCIDENTALLY leveled up to 18 on my Marauder. Sometimes, I just think "Wow, I'm halfway there"...and that's in a week of maybe 5 hours a day, just foolin' around with friends. Give it a little bit of time, then reroll a new character. You'll be amazed just how easy it will be to pull a character up to at least level 10.

3. The one thing I can gripe about that you guys didn't touch on is the fact that, while the beginning areas are nice and pretty...and I'll even agree with Snide in saying that there's a ton of NPCs but not many players atm...my biggest problem is travel. The flight path setup is really funky and hard to get used to, and the first two tiers of zones are FUCKING HUGE...so travelling on foot gets b-o-r-i-n-g very easily. Luckily, everyone gets Flee, which is a nice way early on to get around...and if you are a Marauder, you get Charge as well, which stacks with Flee. Nonetheless, I just hate that so many of the quests have you go to one end of the map, then once you complete it, you have to go all the way back there...with no really simplified mode of travel. Most MMO games have this problem, except for Guild Wars. They had a really nice setup that I would love to see more MMO games adopt, even if it was an instanced world.

Otherwise, good criticisms, guys. Looking forward to see how far you guys advance next week. I'll be right alongside y'all.

First of all, great info, thanks guys. I'm really hyped to try this game now. Sounds really great.

Secondly, anyone who uses Thottbot for ALL their quests or most of them anyway is just lazy. They did a great job of telling you were to go, and it makes sense not having a marker. That said it would be nice to have it as an option to give avague thing on the map because there are a few quests where it just doesn't tell you, or expects you to be familiar with an area you aren't.

Yeah I was liking Snider's beard and trucker cap from the last WAR Report that was awesome.

On the game; I might try it out, I'll give it a couple months and look at videos and see if I can get into it, but videos like this REALLY help me because I can't be bothered to hit up YouTube and sift through videos of gameplay, I find it much easier to listen to your opinions but if you can for the next WAR report put some in-game video in there, not your actual mains if you don't want to be spammed with whispers but some other characters you guys have, hopefully then I'll know if I can get back into MMO's. Thanks!
