OK, so the OP didn't like the game. Fair enough, I respect his opinion & everyone has their own tastes. So far this has been the best game I have played in a very long time, so as I could see myself continuing to enjoy it for quite some time to come, I even signed up for the 'six month discount' subscription offer. I hope the OP finds something he likes soon, but for me I am having a blast with WAR. If you can't "Have your cake & eat it too", then how can "The proof of the pudding be in the eating"? |

Agree with the OP and I didn't resub at the end of the month either. The biggest issue for me is the game didn't pull me back or make me want to log in every minute like all new MMO's should. In fact I didn't log in after 3 weeks but I did log in on the last day to hand out my stuff. Even though I couldn't enjoy the game I do know one very good friend who is absolutely loving it. However I think its due to him being in a guild with lots of mates in the same region and they are really into the RP side of the game. So in a way its really there gang that is making it enjoyable. For casual gamers or players who like a bit of solo work I would give WAR 0 out of 10. However if you are into big guilds and quite active then it may be a game worth checking out. At the end I found the combat engine to be borderline moronic and after going through one keep take over I would rather eat my own hand than go through that again. Each to their own though. (As an after thought I would have subbed another 1-2 months if I was in the US / Aus region then hanging on TS would have been worth it)

I was in a guild on both my order and my destruction toons. Game just didn't do it for me. I hate to use this phrase, but it got potential, it's just not there yet. My orc was 32 when I left the game so I had a good try playing it. Anyway, when I said they looked gay I was refeering to the elves mostly. I don't have a clue what kinds of men gays find attractive, but I've seen my share of gays and the way some of them look. Elves just look too damn gay to me. No offense to gay men mind you. On the other points, WAR is played by alot of people and the naysayers around here is, as usual with trolls and their ilk, a poor measure of a games real success and playerbase and should be ignored at all times. Don't even bother to reply to them, unless you want to have some fun at their expense. One poster wrote that pve and rvr give out rewards a plenty but I don't see people there, I see them in the scenarios. Hence my other concern that the game is a pvp minigame. At the end, my opinion and taste is only my own. Allthough I'm sure alot of people share them (we aint that different after all), not everyone do and that's the way it should be. I posted this just cause I wanted to share my experience with the game with people and I said at the beginning that everyone should feel free to ignore this and move on

Helluva lot of people that actually post in this viper pit of a forum you mean? It is just that I really don't see what those complains are about since I don't experience those problems.The game has some tbh, but I find that they are almost never actually mentioned here. It's all about the same old set of "problems" that I actually do not experience, and especially not to any degree that the "cool crowd" around here insists is "game breaking". I don't know why. Maybe I'm some kind of a freak that somehow got a special super-secret edition of WAR that is actually enjoyable to play and very easy to group... and so are all my guild members. Dunno. There's something funny here. I play on a low pop server and I find it very easy to group. I never have any problems with finding people to PQ. I do open RvR daily and I'm enjoying myself immensely. I don't know what is the problem with me. I really would like to be like the majority of posters on this site, pissing on this game mostly because they haven't put any effort in actually understanding how it plays. Maybe I should just join the crowd yelling "there is no open RvR" and then queue for a scenario instead of actually forming a RvR warband. Or maybe go to the first PQ, kill a mob and then proclaim the game dead because there isn't a full group waiting there for my pleasure. Hmm.. or the "PvE is shallow!" - off to that scenario again, maybe just maybe a starter quest from a hub occasionally. "Open RvR is imbalanced!" and then keep hitting that same old keep that is defended by half of the opposing faction instead of thinking strategically and attacking in some other pairing... I could go on and on in this manner you know... But frankly I'm tired. I'm off to play the game as it's meant to be played.
First of all your not a FREAK your just a Warhammer Fanboi who decided that this is the best game ever, which evidently it's not due to it's declining numbers. And yes I know you Play Destro thats why I know you are happy probably a mindless zerg herder slashing everything in it's sight with one button. See how you like PVP when you guys are playing with yourselves, which your probably doing already.
Lol, according to some of the posts that have been constantly generated on this site I surely must be a freak for enjoying this game. In fact I recently heard one such "reviewer" around here stating that WAR is a game made for mentally challenged people from which it would follow that all players who do enjoy WAR must be "playing with less than a full deck". Oh and btw I'm playing order on a severely underpopulated server, Karak Norn FYI and am a leader of an intentionally small and tight guild. The goal is to have a guild where everybody knows each other and how everybody plays so we can do some really "special forces" kinda stuff. In fact if there's more than 2 of us in a scenario we win 95% of the time. Serious open RvR is still a bit iffy for a guild of our size but when we get our numbers up a bit and our alliance starts coordinating i think we'll have a bright future. Why am I saying this? Because I always wanted to play like that, small tight guild, people I know etc. In WoW and most other games of the type mega-guilds are the only way to go if you want to do anything (EvE a honorable exception, as always). The whole way classes work together and how the game rewards actual cooperation is what is actually drawing me the most into playing it. That and the great guild/alliance mechanics, ofc. |

Fair enough. The game has its flaws but people screaming that it's "broken" either have no clue or have an agenda. Whatever. See ya around mate. Anywayz, sorry for the harsh words up there but I was kinda pushed. If you don't like the game you don't have to blow your arguments out of proportion. For example glitchy animations do not bother me because a) I don't really pay that much attention and I find them quite rare and b) it is trivial technical stuff that gets slowly phased out through patching. However you might find them intolerably irritating, and that's cool - we're different after all. It is just that it has become so common to scream bloody murder on this site for every little thing - it's like looking for excuses for having a personal taste. The danger in it is that people try to sell it as an "objective" viewpoint and thus confuse and befuddle people who are looking for some honest info on the game. Chill out, folks... Cya later then! Oh and open RvR still leaves a lot to be desired, I'm not denying it. However the foundation is very solid and the devs actually made it their priority to fix it in the first major patch. And even in this state it is really enjoyable and playable as one of the various game modes - just not as THE prime and only one. I'm having lots of fun right now and it doesn't bother me a bit I'll have to wait a month or so to see open RvR brought up to par with the rest of the game. |

why not sit and watch the TV show OP? it is more easier. you wont worry about the issure of games. let Blizzard, Myth go to eat KFC comn, they are just games, dont be too serious. just like playing chess. somebody think it is great while others thinks it is a pretty boring thing. when you want play, play it. when you are tired of it, stop it, when you want to pick it up again , do it. it is just for fun. above all, we are not Myth, EA, games workshop and Blizzard........ so it seems that we can do nothing about it when they dont listen to us. maybe you can tell your thoughts to the game maker directly. if the accept it, then maybe it can do something to make the WAR better, and that is what we all want to see as well. but just whine here, maybe can do nothing about it, but depress others, especially for the new visitor to the game-like me. look OP, i just begin to play the game... when i see your words, i feel a little disappointed in the WAR OH my squig, OH my greenskins...... RUN FORREST RUN!! |

I'm not resubbing for pretty much the same reasons as OP. After finally being able to actually play the game after an upgrade, I was enjoying my time until I hit Tier 3, where I realised that since level 1 I'd done nothing but join scenarios - TA was a slap in the face. I bought WAR thinking I was going to be constantly fighting for Keeps and such, instead I was mostly queuing for scenarios, handing in the same quests over and over again (kill 20 players, participate in TA), each time zoning out of the scenarios looking at my map hoping that we were either trying to take Keeps or defend them, RvR rarely happens. I've been in a few WB's to take Keeps, but out of all the keeps we took, I think only 1 or 2 times they were actually being defended (and I never seem to get close to a gold bag - only need the damn chestpiece!). Again, thanks to scenarios the RvR is dead, people are lazy and can't be bothered to move from one spot to do something fun, so they join scenarios for the quick and easy leveling. I could list the things I'd like to see, but I really doubt they'll get rid of scenarios, as that's at the top of my list. -iCeh |

I love Tier 3 and all the scenarios and beautiful locations to visit, but when I play my other characters who arnt there yet, it shows me how boring the early content is for me now that I've seen places like Avelorn and The Temple of Isha, or High Pass with its frozen lands of ice and snow. |

No offense to the OP, but I am glad some people are leaving, no I am not trying to twist this, but there is nothing worse than playing with people that whine in the game about how this game doesnt compare to their XYZ game and how it isnt fun for them. I am currently in T3 with my guild (despite we got several that are in T4 now), we got over 400+ active members playing both Order and Destruction. Alot of us that are hanging in there and figuring out the game alot better now and knowing what to do instead of running scenarios after scenarios and actually figuring out how to play our characters as a group. As stated, this game is a Alt-Aholic Dream! Currently I am doing the dungeons (Altdorf) and the PQ's like Mount Gundbad (for example, excellent place however for loot drops) and having a blast with my guildmates. I am finally figuring out the ToK and what to quest for to improve my character. If your going to pull a -- Hi I am JOE SOLO and I am going to Solo this game - you will quit before your even level 20. Its a shame though, alot of people are missing out just by doing scenarios, since they want to get to level 40 asap and try to capp their renown. Stop and smell the roses and do the PQ's if you can (I know it tough with ppl in scenarios, but you really dont have to have to group if your just attempting to gain influence and move onto the next chapter). Yeah I know your pulling a JOE SOLO by doing this, its a damn shame and mythic should look more into improving the PQ participation, but get your influence done and get out and try the next chapter. Unlock some of your ToKs, join a Guild that is active (preferrably a guild thats uses voice chat) in the game that schedule RvR Battlekeeps runs. If you do scenarios everytime you log on, well it was nice knowing you in WAR, cause you wont last and will burn out fast. -this is my opinion and how I play the game- |

Nope, were on different servers, its cool though to talk to other guildmates that are playing the other faction, they bring some good information. But that works both ways. Though it would have been crazy if it was set up that our Order Guild vs our Destro Guild. |

You hit the nail on the head when you said Mythic made a PVP mini game, or mini game theme park as I like to call it, and not an addictive deep open world RVR game. Now instead of waiting at a server screen to get your mini game fix you can now wait in a virtual chat room jumping through the bland PQ's hoops or fedex, kill x quests until your scenario pops. Scenarios are like having to pay a monthly sub to play Team Fortress 2 or insert any number of online fps games and their game modes. As that's what it really is at it's core. Why would I play scenarios when Team Fortress 2, BF2 or COD4 does it 10x better, and is far more fun? Mythic really need to rethink their approach to RVR a redo it from the ground up and make WAR the RVR it should have been. It's as if they looked at the success of Call of Duty 4 and said, “Hey! Lets try do that reward system in our MMO!" " Instead of a persistent world of territory control only, players can go off to mini maps just like COD4 and grind their experience bar for goodies!” Sorry Mythic, but that formula works great for online fps, but not a MMO that's meant to be a persistent RVR world. |

Originally posted by HiGHPLaiNS While I agree with you about whiners, the game should really not be released yet. Half a year of fixes, balancing and added content would have made the game a lot better, and we would see a lot fewer I quit threads. The game is not bad but it have the potential to be great if Mythic works really hard, it was a misstake to release it so early. |

There are quite a few good comments in this thread and I think both side's of the arguement can maybe agree on 1 word.....Shallow. This is how we(my guild) are finding it atm,we are hanging in there and hoping for the best come 1.1 patch to see how things go. We all wanted an open pvp game,keep siege's/defense with some scenario's when you wanted a quick fix,atm I have all but gave up on scenario's are they are getting to be really old really fast,some nights we can have a great nights rvr with keep and BO's but unfortunatly this is not happening nearly enough. Last night we ran Bastion stairs and was good fun but not something to do too many times,also dont like how we have to run say the warpblade tunnels so many times before we can have a chance in sigmar crypts,if there is no rvr going on hell let us pve where we want,we just want to have a laugh and dont care about gear grinding. Like I said I will give it another month or so until the 1.1 come's and see how the game is looking then,will be a shame if alot of the problems arent addressed as the game can be fun at times. |

Originally posted by daylight01 I agree. Same thing for me and alot of our guildies on both my toons which are both in T4 one destro mid 30's, one order 40. on my first toon i thought maybe i out lvl'd alot of people since there was almost no rvr going on at all. so i decided to go order and hopefully find the under dog side to have more fights, same thing when i hit T4 Rvr rarly happens and only happens when a guild ever so often puts a raid together to go snag the keeps or bfo's So maybe you see RvR 3-4 times a week and these rvr battles only last for maybe an hour or so, so if your not logged on when it happens you might not even see rvr for weeks if your unlucky, other then that its grinding scenarios or running bastion stair for 45 mins or so until your locked out.. Theres nothing really else to do other then grind PQ's which by now pretty much everyone in their 40's have full inf on all chapt 20-22. If you enjoy running the same scenarios (Serpents Passage) over and over more power to you, but alot of people are getting bored and trying other things.. You can hate on them and tell them theres the door all you want. But until you log on week after week and have nothing to do but run Serpents passage you will wanna leave to. I have left for the same reason ALOT of people are leaving. and yes we know where the door is and we are gladly using it until mythic turns this game around. Spew your nerdrage all you want.
could be errors typos all that junk 6am and iam going to bed. so deal with it! |

And the retarded comments about: "Then you should reroll to high populated server" don't fly anymore with that many servers on low population! Cheers |
