Don't think there will be anything Marauder wise atleast till the Elves are out, which is a shame.

By the way, is this video downloading really slow for anyone else? I think its been over an hour now and its only on 38%...

Enough about the Marauder already.

Took me about a hour to download it wich is slow for my line.

Nice quality. Really liked the animation on the squig. The squig does not seem to have much of a taunt, maybe they wont get one either, seems to recall that Mythic dont want the pet to do to much of the work. The herder seems to do respectable damage, and thankfully no deadzone. Still this is the starter zone, so any damage assesment now is worthless. Pet pathing is *way* better than LOTR btw, was a few places ther a LOTR pet would be hoplessly lost, so that is good. But the pet lagged behind here and there. A bit to much deadtime in the vid , would have like to see more challenging fights and some examples of snares/escapes.

Still nice to finally see him in action. I will roll one, with some luck i can find a server where dwarves outnumbers greenskins :)

*Groan*

How embarrassing, thanks for pointing it out :)

Fixed, and now; running for the hills.

For those who don't catch what's going on - One of those quests is entitled "Save da Choppas!"

I'm sure you could guess what that would imply. Especially after the Herder finds the bodies of wounded Choppas across the land. However... upon interacting with them - he takes their choppa!

That gave me a great chuckle, the weapon is more important than the git (as it should be!). :p

Well, I downloaded it after around 2 hours... and it failed! For some reason, everything I download on this PC, using Firefox fails. :?

Anyway, I'm downloading it again using IE, estimated to be finished in 2h 43m.

wow that just sealed the pact i wanna play a herder now it reminds me of all the good times i had on my WoW hunter... they look like so much more fun though like if the hunter were balenced and enjoyable perhaps?... exciting dare i say =X no dead zone i believe u can even shoot your bow when their in your face its just super weak but still thats awsome innovation (to me atleast) smart pet actually, really smart pet AI i say better than WoW but its hard to say from one lil video what the only thing that kinda gets me a lil concerned though it doesnt really isnt that big of deal it seems like npc's have very bad pathing right now and seem easly abusable even if the pet seems to have no taunt... we can only pray that herders DO NOT GET a taunt because of they do, gold farmers =/ and even normal farmers will all be herders and that would really annoy me, good movie i enjoyed it thx 4 posting it
