- I think people forget there are other Tier 1 thru Tier 4 Zones and only do their Racial quest side. - Some people dont even do their City quests which helps the city unlock certain dungeons as well. - People just jump into a game an expect they know everything within a week or 2. - No one dares goes thru ther ToK and try to unlock key quests. 3 ways to level as well.. 1. PvE questing / Dungeons 2. Battlegrounds - PvP 3. RvR - PvP To me, its hard to focus on which I should do when I log onto this game. Lack of content in this game for leveling, I dont think so. I just believe alot of people are just burnt from mmorpg's and look for any excuse to get out, which I cant blame them, mmorpg's are a HUGE timesink of ones life. |

Yeah if you are not having fun, it is probably best if you play something else. On the good side there are other mmos out there that should feel better for you. If not, I guess mmorpgs are not the genre for you.
Hopefully you'll find something that will be to your liking. Good Luck.

People are starting to hit a wall in leveling even when doing the other race's content, basically killing PvE replay value. Here is a continuation to a 66 page thread voicing concerns about lack of leveling content and having to resort to grinding on mobs. http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=118423 |

As someone else said, if you don't have fun, may be this is not the game for you. For me, the game is moving too quickly to my liking, I am actually leveling faster than I want. One RvR scenario at level 10 gets 10% exp into a level and I am already level 12 and I cannot do RvR scenarios for Tier 1 anymore :( And most people are still doing Tier 1 quests and I like to be with where most people are. T2 areas seems empty compared to T1 zones.

Its a personal preference thing, some people like being told where to go and how to level, other people prefer figuring it out and exploring. To say that Mythic should not have done it is to admit that you prefer to be told what to do, and so there are games for people of your opinion; go play them. |

My soon-to-be-flamed opinion: "Good" PvP is held up as the holy grail of mmo's by many hard-core gamers, and the inability or unwillingness of developers to focus on this has allowed the topic to persist, because no one, until possibly WAR, was able to deliver the goods. Now that someone has delivered a smooth-running PvP based game (some will count Guild Wars or Eve as a prior example, I don't for a couple reasons: Eve isn't really combat in the same way as other MMO's; Guild Wars is heavily channeled and restricted), the truth emerges: PvP is boring after a while, because there is no written content, just the same fight over and over again. The much maligned PvE is addictive because it is written material, and inherently exploratory. Reminds me of when a political party that shall remain nameless kept harping about what would happen when it finally got control, then people found out how bankrupt its ideas were. |

So do not tell me you did everything to lvl. You did all the quests and you probably ignore all chapters PQs and you did not much of the scenarios while you were in tier 2. If you try to hit 40 as fast as possible but you only do 1 thing out of 3 that gives you XP, I have no pity for you and you did not understand the way the game works, understand that WAR is a PvP game with PvE, so if you thought you could get there only with PvE, clearly this game is not for you. Of course now your in tier 3 and you realise the mistake you made and you want to blame it on the game, but it is your own fault if you outrank everyone and now the only thing left you can do is questing. Get a life you freaking Gamer.....no no, you don't understand, I'm a Gamer, I have many lives!! |

Originally posted by happytklz I feel the opposite. And in the game which you exclude (EVE), the PvP is not the same fight over and over again. There aren't the basic character classes repeatedly respawning after death, which you know how to counter just because it's that class and you can kill them the same way each time. A possible exception is POS warfare, and even then there are tactical and strategic variables. |

Astralgeth: I defer to your longer experience with Eve. Anyway, I should have been more moderate in the way I put it. PvP is ultimately boring to ME. Obviously many find it compelling. I guess maybe a difference in goals is in play here: I like cooperating with other people to defeat imaginary enemies. I was never a sports person or a fire-in-the-belly competitor in real life, either. As soon as people start beating their chests in an MMO, I'm hitting ignore, it's deeply unattractive to me. I know there is a wide range of personalities who like PvP, from goodnatured competition to borderline sociopaths, so I'm not trying to disrespect people. I'm still waiting for a game with a non-fantasy setting with really good writing and deep, rich PvE content. |

Of course now your in tier 3 and you realise the mistake you made and you want to blame it on the game, but it is your own fault if you outrank everyone and now the only thing left you can do is questing.
I will say the best way to level on Warhammer in my opinion is to be in RVR Que 24/7. While waiting, do quests and party quests. When it's ready, find a spot and then join. Once out, go at questing again. It's very fast and you level your renown rank just as fast as leveling at first. I'm level 13 and my renown rank is almost 13 as well. Got 13 in about 9 hours now. Not as fast as some but hey, it's fast for me. I only hop on for a few hours a day but when I'm on I knock out a few levels. RVR gives an average of 7k experience. Atm I have around 80k for level 13. 12 or so rvr's and you're solid. I usually never make under 7k experience in RVR's. Questing always gives you an extra 2k-4k while waiting...so in between your killing making 500-1,000 from killing from each quest and ur making 2k-4k from quests....so 4k x 12 thats 48k exp right there, lol. Really when you're done with 6 rvrs depending on the time frame, you can reach another level at level 10-13...but it really depends on the time frame. Time was good today for me. Did some party questing, went to some rvr's, and did some more questing waiting for more pvp action. I try to make every RVR happen to keep my renown rank going. It goes fast. Around 3 hours played this afternoon and got level 11-13, full levels. Not too shabby but not too great either. I'm kind of slow hahaa but I kind of take my time questing.
I really don't feel like people should be giving reviews when they are under level 20. I gave a review back when I was in beta and I wouldn't do one again. It's dumb. I still have so much to learn about the game and I'm 13...Because you do new stuff every tier. Also I have yet to experience the big 100 on each side raids that I hear about in guild chat, lol. That would be known as castle pvp. See, still have alot to learn. But loving it.

The general tone towards the OP sucks in this thread. He's not trolling with this thread.
To the OP, you're right, the rate at which you gain XP after 20 does change quite dramatically compared to how it was before that, but I haven't found the need to grind anything such as scenarios as you have experienced.
I'm now doing chapters in each pairing combined with open world RvR and scenarios on the side. I'm leveling at a nice steady rate now. |

This has totally been an issue since just after the PW. Mythic completely nerfed quest XP from T3 quests onwards. Me (and a ton of my guildmates) are definitely starting to feel the strain. It sucks to have my R11 alt getting just about the same amount of XP as my R23 main from questing. It really sucks. It's definitely been a complaint on WHA for a while now, and hopefully Mythic will 'un-nerf' the XP...

This game has worse Graphics and animations and combat then anarchy online and anarchy online was relased in 2001. If Warhammer was released in 2000 it may of been a good game. As old as anarchy online is it blows this game away |
