Ok, haven't checked this thread in a while, so long post incoming.

Actually its going to be more like hunter pets. In fact, exactly like hunter pets because they already use focus. :P

Not exactly like Hunter pet focus, though, since Steady Shot will actually generate focus while a pet's focus works more like a Rogue's energy.

Resource Mechanic Change
Here we come to the meat of the upcoming hunter changes.
Hunters will no longer use mana; instead the class will use Focus. Focus generates much like Energy, by building up. It will not be affected by Intellect at all. Haste will improve its generation. Hunters will generate roughly 6 Focus per second, slightly less than rogues' Energy generation rate of around 10 Energy per second. Below, we have listed some examples of how we intend Focus costs to operate:
Steady Shot/Cobra Shot: No cost. Generates 9 Focus per shot (or 12 per second instead of 6).
Arcane Shot/Chimera Shot /Explosive Shot: 45 Focus.
Aimed Shot/Multi-Shot: 60 Focus.
Concussive Shot/Tranquilizing Shot: 35 Focus.
Rapid Fire/Master’s Call/Disengage: 30 Focus.

*edit what resolution are you runnign at Maz? That can make a huge difference. Also the landscapes get better and bbetter outside the noob zones and you won't be wearing any of the really nice armor at that point either. ( Though the shire is aweful purty especially when a rainbow comes out)
I believe I was running 1920x1200. I played a human and an elf, but haven't tried a Hobbit yet. If the Shire is that purrty, I might just try it.

Mazra make sure your using the highrez client! In your install folder there should be a file called client_highres.dat
its rather large in size.. I think its pushing close to 4g now, and your total install with it is usually 13.5 gig give or take. Thats the file that gives you the "purrty" graphics. Something tells me you only have the "normal" version installed since you said it was only 10gig you downloaded (twice...)
I have that one, 3.7 gigs. The downloaded files took up 10 gigs, but upon installation and updating, it added some files and now takes up 12 gigs.
I'm tempted to resubscribe now that I know it gets better further in, but I want to play a Runekeeper or w/e it's called and would have to buy both expansions.
Doug, did they improve/fix stuff in Warhammer? Like the Black Ork and how the "stance" system was completely broken (you'd drop stance all of a sudden for no reason)?
