The Grab Bag of Questions #19

Welcome to the Warhammer Online Grab Bag, where your friendly neighborhood community manager will answer the most popular, and most interesting, questions in a new regular feature. Many things aren't yet certain, so try to be patient with us. Trust me - we're as eager as you are to see the features finalized, so that we can hear what you've got to say.

Q: How soon can I start PvP and will I be able to get adequate gear solely from PvPing?

A: You can log in on day one and run straight to the RvR area in the very first zone if you’d like. And you’ll be able to acquire plenty of great gear via Renown (which builds during RvR combat).

Q: Will players be able to access resources such as their bank accounts if their capital cities are sacked?

A: The absolute core mechanics necessary to keep the game playable will always be available to players in some way.

Q: Can Black Guards only use halberds?

A: Nope.

Q: What are action points and how do they work?

A: Action points are a pool available to each character that enables them to use special, powerful abilities. They’re a baseline resource that players must manage strategically in combat to guarantee that they are able to execute the right move at the right time in a fight. If the AP pool has been exhausted, players need to wait for it to replenish before executing additional abilities with an AP-cost attached to them. AP regenerates rather quickly, so it never takes more than a few seconds to get back into the action.

Q: Will healers get credit for healing in Public Quests and RvR?

A: Absolutely - Healing will be just as highly-rewarded as damage dealing in both cases.
