I just can't do it..anyone else?

[tomfar72]

For some reason, I just can't bring myself to play a WF. I know they are great, with lots of immunities and such, but I just can't get behind the idea of playing one. Even on a wizard, I know the self healing would make life alot easier, but I still can't do it. Maybe I'm just old(school). Humans, elves, dwarves, drow, halflings, and gnomes are what I grew up on.(I am old btw..I remember when Elf was a D&D class, not race..lol) Anyone else out there have a mental block about making a WF? Just curious.

Keep in mind, I am NOT bashing WF, and have no problem with those who play WF, I just can't do it myself. Should I call Dr. Phil??

Part of playing an MMO is the appearance of your avatar. If that avatar doesn't look the way you want, to make you want to play them more then its not a good avatar. Forgies have many great advantages, but look like ******** fish frogs. I'm with you, while the self heals are way less, I'll stick w/ my drow sorc.

You should roll one up and experience the glory that is leaving the flesh behind you. At worst, all you have to do is delete the character.

Come to the dark side. We have delicious oil.

[SolarDawning]

I can't do it either, you're not alone.

[Symar-FangofLloth]

I can't do it; just because they're so bulky.
If they were to introduce a smaller, slimmer model for them I could.

I can't play halflings either. Too weird of a head shape and running.

I have 2 WF myself. My mental block is dwarf. They are so 'flavor of the month'. If you notice almost all dwarves made dual wield dwarven axes and have 6 levels of ranger. lol

Oh, I have tried them, just can't get into playing them. I have made multiple WF. With vet status, I have made them, gotten off the airship, and I always end up deleting them before they even get their gear out of the bank..lol.

[FuzzyDuck81]

maybe it'd help if you dont think of it as a warforged.. think of it instead as a gnome in a battlemech! after all, gnomes disappeared & warforged appeared.. its not a coincidence

[Beherit_Baphomar]

Four years I felt this way then I rolled one and fell in love.

Warforged r in u'r raidz steeling u'r lootz.

[acidtiger]

I can't do it either. It's not even the genderlessness of them (I'm female), its the size of them...I always feel like i'm 5 feet away from the mob while meleeing.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

My main has to be human...to represent me.
Then my next favs are Elves and Drow.
WF come in third. They are actually a very nice race, and there is a certain helmet graphic that I like a lot on the right WF face.

[Aesop]

Well...


The way I look at Warforged is this.

When truly powerful souls pass on to their eternal reward, some are not able to let go of their mortal exsistence and strive to return to the world. When the Warforged bodies were created they were the perfect vessels for these disembodied spirits.

The transition however is traumatic and they energy that it takes drains the spirit and they cannot recall the powers of their previous exsistence.

So if it makes you feel better think of them as an elf or whatever in full plate



Dwarves were never my cup of tea however... maybe cause they are stout and I perfer lithe... but that's just me.

Turbine created an Easy button....it's called War Forge...


Yeah... I rolled one up...then deleted it!!

OMG, has it occured to anyone that gnomes are not arround because the WF ate them??? I see that WF could be gnomes in battlemech armor, but I think they would be really noisy and smoke alot...

Correction, leave the flesh behind for more than a couple of minutes.
I was much like Beherit_Baphomar, and had no love for our clanky brethren. I think my watershed moment was beating the tar out of a beholder while soloing as a rogue. The sudden realization that the eyestalks held no more terror made all my extremities tingle in a most pleasant manner.

My only real beef is that i'm a stealth junky, and the camera is a pain when using the larger WF model. I have some issues with bits of scenery getting in the way when I'm panned out and trying to see whatever I'm sneaking past. Outside of that, <3 me some 'forged.

It probably doesn't help any that you play with someone who exclusively plays Warforged.

That is right, I'll admit it, I have problems when I am NOT playing a Warforged.

I agree with you comrade, they're bulky robots that look ugly (uglier than male elves). However, if Turbine decides to add sexy bodies for female WF I just might change my mind

[ilgriffo]

(I am old btw..I remember when Elf was a D&D class, not race..lol)

OMG! how old are we?

I had the same mental block for more then 2 years....then I rolled one and I really can't play enything else couse they look so cool to me now!

[Saaluta]

I feel the same way, lol...I actually got a my wf wizardess to 10th level before I rerolled her as a drow sorceress...and then I realized I'm just not a caster type person, so I rerolled her as a human FVS/Barb/Ranger

Saal

and no, casters and healers are not the same thing

This is why I have a tendency to play Dwarfs...I like dwarfs I like the look of dwarfs. There are a vocal and strong group of players who play primarily Warforged. There is a group that swears by human...to each his own.
