Warhammer Online: New Grab Bag Released!

Sanya has put out a grab bag of questions to go with the monthly newsletter!

Q: I am just curious about how you guys are implementing the magus on his flying disc into the game. When does the magus get his disc? How much does it affect game play? I assume he is low enough where he can still be attacked in close combat, but is he faster, can he traverse terrain that is too hard on foot, does it take up energy, can you just get on and off whenever, etc.? Thanks, and I can't wait to play.

A: I passed this question to the gentleman in charge of such things, Designer Josh. Just read it. It's like a tiny window into the gaping void of insanity that produces fun games.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Disc

I have a confession:

We weren't REALLY playing a drinking game during the conference call a few weeks back. I know we SAID we were drinking Scotch every time someone brought up the Disc of Tzeentch, but let's be honest - everyone involved would be dead now if we'd actually gone through with it.

People are fixated - FIXATED, I SAY - on the Magus and his wonderful, terrible Disc. Initially, I believed that the fans were simply curious, but now I believe darker forces are at play. It is my belief that the Disc itself is guiding the discussion. It seems to haunt the fans, quietly calling to them at night, demanding attention, compelling them to greater and greater depths of obsession

WAR! An answer on the Magus.... I love you Sanya... Like, I would leave my wife and children and be your eternal slave!.... (note, I have a very short attention span, so eternal = about 15 mins)

Seriously though, Thanks for the the great grab bag! You can read the rest of the answer to the Magnus, and several other great question over at The War Site!
