New classes let anyone chop and slay in Warhammer Online
The update that added two new classes to Warhammer Online last week didn't unlock the new classes for everyone. You had to have done various difficult and esoteric stuff to unlock them early. But now all players can play the new classes by just logging in and creating a new character.
Mythic describes the Orc choppa as follows:The ornery and savage Choppa is an offensive juggernaut that embodies the love of a good fight found in every Orc. He has a one-track mind that is dead seat on wrecking havoc on enemy lines and bashin' heads! Driven by an inexplicably strong bloodlust, the Choppa is a whirlwind of destruction on the battlefield with a ... debatable sense of self-preservation.
And here is their equally enthusiastic assessment of the Dwarven slayer:The tattooed Slayer is the manifestation of the Dwarfs' obsession with honor, seeking only a heroic and honorable death in combat. However, dying quietly is simply not in his nature. In WAR, the Slayer is a ruthless and terrifying fighter, throwing himself into battle with no regard for his own well-being. He is a force to be reckoned with and relies on his ever-escalating rage to power each swing of his dual axes.
Other than one being an orc and the other being a dwarf, they sound like they'd actually get along pretty well, like the kind of guys who might get a beer together.

>dead set on wrecking havoc
Wrecking havoc? We can't have nice things, can we? High Command spent a lot of time crafting that havoc, please don't wreck it.

I love how deep and interesting these character descriptions are. It's so refreshing to hear about a character that "has a one-track mind that is dead seat on wrecking havoc on enemy lines and bashin' heads!" How do they come up with this stuff?!?!?

The warhammer universe has so many "interesting" characters, classes and races that it is very sad that this is what they decided to throw to the community to appease them. Instaead they could have open a new race, like the tomb kings since they added the new lands...
