We on Eltharion in EU, made it to IC today - what a complete and utter waste of time. This is the WORST end game I have experienced in any MMO - apart from AoC. It is outrageous. A huge effort from Order to create the opportunity, and for what? Order in one instance, Desdemona in the other - doing what? Farming the same PQ over and over again for gold bags with Invader gear in them? Mythic, is this it? Is this what you worked 4 years for to achieve? This game cannot hold a candle to the end game of DAoC, so what the hell has happened in the interim? Did you sack your best imaginative brains, or are they stuck in a time warp somewhere, thinking people enjoy this mind-numbing experience? I sat back whilst watching some of this inane activity, and thought to myself, 'ok, how do I feel about this now I'm here...' Underwhelmed and a massively multiplayered anticlimax. Rubbish. |

You know, I cannot disagree with you or find a argument, because everything you have mentioned happens on Destruction side as well. I am glad it didn't take me more than 30 days to figure out this game was a desperate grasp at MMO glory, a shame really. |

I agree. I was in the beta and enjoyed leveling actually and thought man this game is pretty fun. Then after sitting at end game for a while I thought is this it? Grinding keeps/obs over and over, having one zerg roll over the other then see people drop group and get bored or tired of it. I played on Dark Crag and Praag and it was the same on both servers. I logged in less and less and canceled my account, although I did like leveling I think making alts and leveling them is more enjoyable then end game. |

I agree, hard to believe the same people who brought us DAOC came up with this as its successor. Someone important on the design team must have left along the way, leaving the clowns in charge.

I couldn't even make it to the end game before I got bored out of my mind. The same repetitive PVP instances and PVE quests zone after zone, zerg rush after zerg rush. It's kind of funny how Mythic had to go so far out of their way to offer rewards for World PVP when they should have just sacked the scenarios and forced players to World PVP if they wanted to raise their renown rank. The whole system was flawed from the start. And really, there wasn't very much to the game. The combat was simple, and the crafting was a total afterthought. What exactly did Mythic spend so much time developing? |

Yeah, Warhammer is just plain boring, it is one of the most boring games in the world. It is really a boring game and I really don't like Warhammer. I hated the scenarios, I hated the quests, I really hated the combat overall. I mean come on, and then end game is even worse. Oh well, there's Age of Conan, Star Wars: ToR and Aion: Tower of Eternity, so I'll have plenty of fun with those games. |

No no no.. stick around...... Mark Jacobs sent a "mystery package" to K & G Headquarters the other day with hair clippers, hair dye and a cryptic note! It was a PR hint kit that Slayers are coming!! Don't leave yet! You can reroll your 5th alt into the 20s again and take revenge on all those Destro Witch Elves! |

Oh its happening all right. Check around forums around the 29th of this month and wait for an important announcement from Mark Jacobs. Rumor is that's when he'll pop the surprise of Slayers coming. |

WAR is the biggest disappointment of the year. It is actually a step BACKWARD compared to DAOC, a game that is over 7 years old! WTF was mythic thinking?? The game is downright terrible. |

I won't be hopping on any more hype wagons. A lesson that might actually pan out to being WORTH the money I spent, being that I won't be "pre-ordering" any more games either.

While I agree they did a great job on their prehype and prehype videos I *never* saw an *ingame* video that seemed anywhere exciting in my opinion. Even the one that was "Set up" was done in a rather boring way (explained away by Mythic that it was supposed to be easier for the investors that way ...). Most of the video's was Paul waving his hands creating *brilliant* word pictures, but never reall yingame stuff.

I actually hated that Paul guy whenever I saw his videos, came off as a complete wanker and did the complete opposite of getting me excited. O_o o_O |

Ok I really dont get the complaint. What specifically is boring in the game? It allows you to PvP instead of grinding mob to level and the end game is to raid the opposing sides keep and it is actually quicker to level through PvP Scenarios. That in itself is revolutionary. An endgame that I agree there are many shortcomings in but Im having a blast leveling my character through scenarios. And PQ? All you do that for is to get some gear so you can be more effective in PvP. It could be made more interesting by being more dynamic but quests in MMORPGs are unfourtanetely very static and has no impact on the world. Also O-RvR and endgame needs alot of work, that I agree with, but it being boring? I rather play a scenario than grind moronic AI mobs in LOTR, anytime. |

I don't understand why people who: 1. Don't belong to decent organized guild 2. Who never got past rank 30 Complain. Get to rank 40 and you can start playing the actual game. Amazing game, the best mmo currently on market, fine there are some stuff that need evolving but they're working on it, I started at launch and totally hooked on the game; played 40/rr48Sorcerer and then my guild rerolled to order and now 40/rr43 BW and still enjoying and having fun. Give it a chance and play for fun. |

Well, seeing as you're only talking about the broken endgame, the title of your thread is a bit misleading. You're just talking about how the city siege is more PQ than PvP, though all I heard was "farming PQ ZOMG LAWL MYTHIC YOU SUCK LAWL GO FALL IN A DITCH" for the second half of the post. -------------------------------------- Order of the White Border. |
