We’re back!  Yes, the troublesome trio of WAR bloggers (Keen, Snfzg, and Syp) are back with another episode of ChaosCast to enrage excite the masses of the WAR community.  Our last podcast recording was back in October and due to RL time commitments, misc obligations, and a whole bunch of other illegitimate excuses that we would like to put forth, we’re finally getting around to doing these more regularly.

A lot has changed in Warhammer since our last podcast.  We’ve seen about a gazillion patches spanning all letters of the alphabet and using various forms of scientific notation which can mean only one thing: it’s finally time for ChaosCast to weigh in our thoughts on where the game is at now and where we think it’s going – if anywhere – in the near future.

The Blowhole
Our listener mail section where we take the questions YOU submitted to us on our blogs and do our best to answer them with a discussion.

- Phoenixr asks, “I’d like to hear you guys discuss the fact that even after putting oRvR inf rewards, and after the larger crowds hit the rvr lakes, people still take the path of least resistance. Instead of engaging in open combat, I’ve seen warbands run from BO to BO, if they can roll a keep quick they will, but usually they’ll just head to the next pairing and do it again. I’d love to see some full scale warfare. We had a bit yesterday in DW each side had a keep and we pushed the battle front to them, got pushed back to our keep, and so on… it was tremendous fun, and I got a ton of kills, even as an AM.”

- Paul asks: Blackguard 2H or sword & board? Thoughts on a Blackguard anti-caster build?
