So I log in with the hopes of finding the halloween live event, the witching hour. I heard mention of some random ghost npcs running about so I start exploring out where I am, in the shadowlands, looking for some. I didn't find any but a guildie told me there was some action going on over in troll county so I hopped on a helicopter and flew over there. Supposedly some crafty person in my guild had planned this day out days in advance and already had a huge warband forming. We finally get into the RVR area after about 5 mins of waiting, only to find about 75 destruction players waiting for us. 2.5 hours go by in a blink, after a while I figured out I was participating in a public quest involving killing other players, some lord npcs and finally a giant bone monster which was awesome. I'd say we had about 75 order 75 destro players on each side, we whomped their butts but when the giant bone monster appeared it was all out chaos. In the end I didn't get anything unique but I did get a breast piece that I'll be able to use when I'm level 19! I'm pretty pumped about logging in again tonight for more fun and games. All these posts about never seeing any people after playing for several hours, people, you gotta go find other players, they're not gonna find you! If I had stayed in shadowlands, I would have probably not seen anyone either, because everyone is getting together and raiding all the time now. |

Actually on my server it seems scenarios are really hard to do now for order since no one really ques for them anymore in tier 4 atleast. I still see a few people playing WOW...... I mean hanging in the warcamps waiting for their hand to be held into the action through scenarios but I assume those are the ones that will hate the game then leave it so no worries. Unfortunatly I think I am on the only server that is dominated by order so its hard to find a fair fight against destro. Anyone else from Iron Rock that can confirm this? Seems everyday the map is almost always full blue for tiers 3-4 so until this event it was hard to bring people to RVR in the same area. Playing- Lotro |

i love my server, i don't have the same issues that others are having with population, but i'm not sure if its my server or me. Either way, i encourage people to come over to drak and play order, i'll send you an invite to the red army and if you're looking for someone to play with, we have a pretty good group. cheers. |

Dont really see how his main characters level would matter its how he plays the game. He does not over analyze every flaw in the game or focus on only the negative in a game. If he likes it and only sees the positive in a game then where is the harm in that. If I only focused on negative things in a game I would hate every game. This is a video game its meant to be enjoyed and Mythic has been doing its best to provide the best experience they can to the player. They cant make everyone happy and some will just always be unhappy but better than to just make promises then do nothing but tell us to wait till after sub time for new fixes and content. Only game I have ever hated was AOC and thats just because the company itself decieved me and I have never had a video game company do that to me before. Not even real hate for the game just the company and its management. Problems happen in games just like everywhere else in life but being dishonest about it makes it a personal problem to me. Do me a favor and find the person in your family that you love the most and only focus on the negative things about that person. See how you feel about that person after only focusing on the negative things about them. Playing- Lotro |

Don't people understand they would feel better about themselves and the world around them if they looked at it with a different perspective? I guess some people can't see it... and I actually feel sorry for them.

in the end it just boils down to human nature. We can either choose the "dark side" ( using star wars here for my metaphore ) and easily live in the negative ( sure is easy to be mean ) or we can choose the "light side" and try to see the positive in everything. That aside, I'm not fault-free from bashing games, I've been sucked in the forum hate a few times and these days its really hard to not get sucked into the game being played on the forums. In the end, its all about self-control and what kind of person you want to be. Sure, you can easily hate on the internet with no consequenses but eventually you're going to wonder what kind of person you are, the fact that you act this way on the internet means that you "act this way period." Just because the internet is a proxy for hate, doesn't make you anonymous, you still have to live with yourself. And if you "are" one of those people who only hates on the internet, that means you can demonstrate self control and you're choosing to be a "ass/troll/dbag/whatever". So while some of you think you're so sneaky, you're only playing mind games with yourself, and if you really really think your opinions revolutionize another players life, you're delusional. end. |

Originally posted by jblah Have you read his other posts? Critizising is one thing. Downwars unreflected praise in every respect is another. It's fanboyism; Every flaw? This game is not a little flawed here and there, it has dramatic population direction problems. Denying crappy community, heavy order/dest imbalances, meaningless PvE/partially RvR, because you play on a populated realm in a good guild and have merely reached level 20 won't add credibility to any of your statements. The right position would be "I cannot judge because half of the points I cannot and have not experienced" You cannot argue about BW being overpowered with a level 17 char where BWs aren't half as brutal as they get. you cannot argue about grind when it takes 2 hours to get from level 17 to 18. etc. It's that simple. I gave the game one month, 3 characters and about 1 week played time. That's 8 hours per day and ate up my whole vacation. And I won't let a guy that enjoys his on/off-casual experience at level kindergarten tell me that he can judge _anything_ that involves a reasonable examination of game population and mechanics. M |

Great that you're having fun. I did too last night on my server destruction and order were clashing non stop in the T4 PQ. It was a blast. We then rolled out and had some badass keep battles. Tried 6man group last night as well. Setting up ambushes and taunting the zerg then cutting behind their ranks is extremely fun. :D |

Originally posted by pixeldogmeat The point is, some people you attack so vigurously have actually played the game for more than a day and have closely looked into what is right and what is wrong with it. You can keep dragging this into the "oh, you're all so evil haters"-corner all you like, search my post history what I - as an example - have written about WAR when it released. I was really positive and had a ton of fun. It's the GAME that hit my fun curve so hard it dropped to "ok I quit" and let me return to EvE. We are not the rabid all-time haters you want us to be; In science, there's the saying "Likely things are likely" and in this case, it's more likely that if many people start critizising a game, it's the games fault, not the sceptics.

lol. Over dramatic, irrational and completely exaggerated. The things you listed are problematic, but not nearly to the severity that you describe.

1. Sounds like you rushed through the game, seriously. All you did was level? Sounds boring. Seriosly, I'm sorry if my posts in your other threads hurt your feelings, you really seem vindictive. And dude, all of the nay sayers talking about WAR aren't talking about issues when you're a high level, they're talking about issues that have to do with the core game so quit trying to rule me out because i'm level 13. Being upset about something is one thing, spray painting your opinions all over the walls of the internet is another. To me, you're no better than a psychotic homeless guy screaming obscenities in the streets. You just want attention. |

This guy lied and posted crap on other threads, how there were no problems and everything was allright with the game. I rolleyed on other threads and let him be, then he comes up and tells everyone with a straight face that he is in fact lower than level 19, his sig says 13. Talking about hypocrisy.... M |

What did I lie about? Just because I don't have the same problems as you and I said you were probably over reacting and wanting attention or something? If you don't like being treated like a teenager, grow up. |

Iron Rock server has more Destro players than Order, but more Order have reached T4 than Destro. http://www.waralytics.com/warservers/view/196 I believe this site is only listing guilded players and also counts characters not subs, but it should still be a good decent general breakdown.

probably not, John Smith, I'm 27, and you're 28! 1. All you CAN do in this game is level, I leveled my professions to over150 on the way which was ridiculously easy to find that they were worth crap because nobody needed my stuff. And there's no off-combat in this game. No housing, no real crafting, no clothing, no meeting points, no minigames, close-to-no roleplaying, HECK, you can't even SIT in this game. 2. it IS about the levels, because the moment you grind PQs or scenarios because no RvR is on and no more quests in your range is the moment you're f***ed. And this kicks in at level ~27. Mythic has increased XP in Tier 3 heavily, why do you think they did that? - because it was NO problem? And if I was an attention troll, I'd probably do this on a regular basis, you could -after all- browse through my posts and see for yourself, but as you didn't manage to get my age from my profile, I guess your attention span does not include adequate research. you lied - for example - about server population. you said it wasn't declining when it needs a braindead monkey to look at the server list and see that there are no more queues (this was before the free month ended). You lied when I posted a screenshot showing the maximum viewing distance in the game and you said "your sucky PC", I spared you with the usual "lol I got a ...." post, you just pushed the whole fanboy show too far with revealing yourself as an ultra low level player.

Wow. Let it go man, let it go. You live in a fantasy world based on assumptions and feelings I'm sure. But in the end, things are what they are, even you. And thats it. So you can keep giving meaning to anything and everything and trying to feel important about it. Or you don't. I live a pretty stressful life but I'm pretty proud of myself for the fact that I am able to look at a forum about a video game and not take it personally. |
