They are the weakest class in the game hands down.

In PvE it is rough because every mob will get into melee range after about 2 range shots.  We were the same class of armor the casters wear!  The caster is capable of doing doing twice the damage.  If anyone gets in melee range in PvP your finished.   Our root has a range that is so small that it will seldom save you, if it even sticks.  It is almost impossible to kill any other class in the game 1 on 1 in PvP.   Our biggest advantage of range is easily nullified.  The theory of your target being softened up enough to melee in a myth.  Do not roll this class unless you are ready for hard mode.

The presentation of this thread is horrible, but I have to concede that you are right.  As someone who plays a Shadow Warrior and is in Tier 4, this is a needed change.

I find it funny this post comes from one of the AoC forum damage controllers.   It's funny to see Erling....er Orion come over here and try to use the same numbers that AoC fans said never mattered in regards to Warhammer.   Even if there is a 20% decline, compared to the 50%+ decline AoC saw, the game is doing a lot better job in retaining players.

Also try using /hide command. 

The same Divinity that has around 400 members and whose leader stepped down to go play on Destruction?

Good fix.

They also nerfed AE EXP grinding.  Found this screenshot on another forum.   Look at the chat box..

It is a very solid patch.  Should these bugs have been fixed before launch?  Sure, but if not at launch then this first patch is the next best thing.  Most of these were not game breaking, but annoying.   After playing AoC I am glad to see them listening and being honst with the players.  I am still waiting for item linking in the chat box though, this needs to be put in ASAP.

i would say this is way too late.. more of begging cry for forgivness..

good change tho.. i dont care anymore..

Thank you for the constructive post.   Most of will not see this as too late since the game has only been released 2 weeks ago.

Would it be possible for us to have an option to automatically block all in-box messages from all domains outside of mmorpg.com?  It is seriously annoying to see messages in my inbox every day from outside sources full of spam.   Either let us block outside domains or give us an option to have outside domains not register as new messages.

I am a 30 Shadow Warrior who is scout specced.   They really don't start coming into their own until their mid 20's.   The first major boost is when you get rapid fire.   Since it has no casting time, it is extremely useful for when you don't have time to wind up a shot.   You can also combine it with the ability to gives you a 50% chance to crit cause each of the shots to crit for even more damage.  The big shot, Festering Arrow, is our largest single damage shot we get.  I have crit with it for upwards of 1200-1300 damage.

As was already mentioned, the Shadow Warrior is not a class that pwns faces like the bright wizard.  We can however use fire arrow, glass arrow, to really do some wide areas dots which can strain healers on the other side if both are going at the same time.  We wear light armor like a bright wizard, but we also can't blow ourselves up.  I suspect you will see the Shadow Warrior to be among the first classes to receive a boost when balancing starts to happen.   I base this prediction on feedback between testers and devs I saw during the end of the beta.

Just type /hide and empty your ignore list.  Case closed.  This will end all gold spams.

I completely agree with you on the ease of getting gold on your own.  On the US servers it is a problem.   It is not uncommon to get several tells every hour.  Hopefully we can make it unprofitable for them to solicit us and free up the server queues.

A guild member of mine brought this to my attention and I figured I would drop this here.  My appologies if this has been mentioned already.

/hide is a command that makes your character unsearchable.   This makes it impossible for the gold spammers to find you and spam you.  A few of us have tried this and so far nobody has received a tell since using this command.

Ender, I checked the banhammer thing on the herald, it does not seem to reflect what you said.  Not saying it didn't happen, but the banhammer apparently is showing lower numbers than is listed for numbers of banned spammers.

That is interesting.  The picture I used in the write up was taken from this morning, so thats 3000 people gone today alone so far.

I just put up a new article regarding the gold spammers in MMOs, and Mythic's approach to dealing with them in Warhammer.   Feedback always welcome!

You can find the article HERE.

Enjoy!

If you are not a ranged class, there are siege wepons which are easily obtained that can provide non-range classes a way to seriously contribute to the fight.

I wrote a review of the game back from the preview weekend for this site that got published on several other sites at the time.   As someone who has played a lot of MMO's I try to compare various aspects of the game to other MMOs.  You might find it a good read, as well as a lot of other reviews online. 

If you want to discuss it further let me know.

If you have played on 5 servers in 4 days, it is obvious that you did not get high level on any of the servers you played.   Don't you think it would make some sense to assume some of the better players are higher level?  If your ego can't handle losing in RvR or losing in general, why play any game?

I just wrote a piece on my thoughts on the server queue situation. If your bored and waiting in a queue give it a read! Maybe it will make you feel better.

PS. Stay off my server please!
