Large Warhammer Patch In December, Two New Classes

Posted by Soulskill on from the tank-you-very-much dept.

Eurogamer reports on an announcement from Mythic CEO Mark Jacobs regarding the future of Warhammer Online. Jacobs said the first big content patch will be coming in December, and it will contain two new classes, the Black Guard and the Knight of the Blazing Sun. These are two of the four classes lost to the pre-launch content cuts. A number of other changes are on their way as well. "The Knight of the Blazing Sun is described as a tactical leader using Battlefield Commands, while the Black Guard is simply 'the embodiment of hatred and disdain.' The arrival of the two new careers will mean that every race in the game has a damage-taking tanking archetype. Of the originally planned careers, only the Dwarf Hammerer and Greenskin Choppa, both melee damage-dealers, will remain on the cutting room floor."

    Why do you feel the need to be a prick?

    His name is aussie_a. aussie as in down under, then "a". He is the "a" down under. Anyone who has purposefully named themselves (for all intents and purposes) "asshole" is really only to be expected to make prickish comments.

      Doubt it. For a bunch of designer soliders who's mission in life is to die as quickly as possible, a penis would just be a tiny unnecessary vestigial organ at best. :)
