Good the faster you and you wow buddies go the easier it will be to move the RvR along with good players who use teamwork to succeed.

Wow pvp is a complete joke, 100% based on gear. 

No don't even type it, skill has 0 to do with wow pvp, mash jump/macro attack and run around like a clown with an epic player eater and cry I win!

Please war is so much more for mature players I can't wait for the kiddies to go away, please hurry!

If you work harder ?  You mean if your part of a huge guild or have thousands of hours longer to play and farm gear.

The whole point of making gear useful and not making a character 100% dependant on gear is what Mythic has given us, you want to be almighty then continus playing Wow.

War is not and will not be a bunny hopping two button mash, I win because I have epic gear experience.

All the bunnies please refrain from entering the realm of War you are now the hunted.

I have played War for only about three weeks so while I am no expert on the game here are a few things to consider looking forward to in the game.

First off no matter what anyone says until you log in the game and actually see the landscapes, water, major cities and run some scenarios you won't have a good idea of how cool this game looks.  Some of the towers and buildings are huge, its awesome to look far off into the distance and see the base of a tower so huge you have to mouse up to look at the upper tier.

Core abilities/Mastery abilities: Not many games give you the ability to review your class paths/masteries from level one.  Right from the start you can click on a trainer and check to see what abilities you think you want will compliment your playstyle.  So many games I have played that don't give an accurate description of spells or abilities and come to find out after working hard and long at achieving levels in that game the class is not what you had hoped for or like.

Quests and gear.  Simply they could'nt have made it easier to find/complete quests that are mostly pve in the begining and some rvr such as Khaine's Embrace.  The thing about really not having to worry about gear is I personally am sick and tired of games that have really good items from level 1 to cap sold by players in an auction house or player stall for ludicrious somes of in game cash.  At least here you can have some ok gear until you hit enough rank to buy some renown gear.  The warcamps and pvp towers provide good enough gear to get you at least to level 20 easily.  I looted a sword through a pq in marshes of madness as a level 19 Dok and it had 30 dps and good stats on it, purple in quality color.  While I got lucky in my contribution and roll its an example of an awesome reward for my efforts put in a game and not some raid or group quest that random rolls the dice and I lose the item. 

RvR sieges against Keeps was alot of fun and you don't need to be top level to wait for these.  Between level 15-20 I found my self the most effective as some players in these sieges were levle 21 or 22.  These sieges were fun either defending from within or attacking from outside.  There are platforms to set up siege weapons to attack players outside and inside the keeps for both sides.  The only thing I'll suggest for anyone to make these sieges more fun is if you want to be constantly active roll a character that has some form of ranged dps.  There wasn'nt a whole lot to do as a Dok as the battles were hectic with little or no organization.  I know this will change once the game gets released but other than sneaking out the rear postern door and looking for wounded ducks it was hard to get close to the outside attackers without getting burnt down quickly.

This game imo sets you up fast to complete quests, check your map in case you get lost or confused and it has a red aura surrounding the quest areas you need to goto, but also sends you off to the next areas rather quickly.  I like the fact that you can hang around for PQ repeats to gain reputation for rewards or you can take off to the next area if your in a hurry to explore.

These are just a few things I really enjoyed about the mechanics and design flow of this game.  The last night of the preview weekend I had leveled a Archmage to lv 8 and headed off for a few rvr scenarios while seeing how well the class performed on same level mobs or higher.  There was hardly anyone on the Isle of Dread server in the areas I was in and I only got in two scenarios.  So I was running along a coastal area and checking out the toughness of champion mobs which are a bit tougher than regular mobs.  It was awesome to explore these areas which are all new and undiscovered and to actually play a pretty dam good healer/dps class.  While I really like the Dok class I found I am now unable to decide whether or not to roll an Archmage. They have excellent spells up to lv 8 and I'm sure they only get better.  My only issue with the Dok is that their healing is very weak compared to other healer/hybrids and their dps doesn't make up for it.  I played a Dok to 19 and had to wait to fight a champion mob until i was a few levels above it.  This was not from gear since I had excellent gear on my Dok.  The archamge class I played had only one or two ok pieces of gear but I was able to tank a level 5 Hero mob at the same level with heals from other players and healing myself.  While I know these levels are low and its hard to make class comparisons I just feel the Dok is not as good as the other hybrid healers because the class isn't 100% balanced yet.

Lastly before my Dok was wiped for preview weekend, I ran as far into the higher tiers as I could trying to take in the landscapes, level of mobs, etc.  The game to me is just truly amazing and the best part its all new.  New monsters, new quests, new items, new areas.  I don't know about the rest of you but I needed a game to come along that has alot of what I like that was new and fresh.  The game's not perfect but it is an awesome example of what the mmo world should be trying to give us, not all of these other  grind f2p gold farming silliness.

For  all of you that haven't been able to play War yet Im not trying to sound like a salemen or say the games perfect, it needs some tweaks  for sure, but I think most of us will have a blast in War for a very long time.

All the things you complain about are exactly whats RIGHT with WAR.

The main point I want to bring up you complained about is collision detection.

The fact you hate it tells me your a WOW hopping bunny who thinks the game should allow you to magically strike opponents from 20 feet away while mashing macros and jump.

Do yourself a favor and play wow and leave the real WAR to a more realistic audience.

I played a dok to lv 18 in the one week I got invted to CB, they are a great class vs pve and prety decent in rvr, their heals are hots to keep you up a bit but in the front lines you don't last long.

My tactics in RVR are to go after casters and healers and run down injured players attempting to retreat.

Doks have great mele buffs that siphon life as you do damage and buffs that increase dps.  They are a bit more sqiushy than I had hoped since you need to mele to really shine.

Doks also have morale heals that are pretty awesome, a single target heal for around 800 plus at lv 18 and an aoe heal for around 300 plus that heals your comrades and does the same damage aoe.

I have mele'd through three mobs lv 20 and just barely survived but players are much tougher and smarter than pve mobs.

I found a dok is pretty easy to lv but lacks the dps I was looking for.  I expected a Dok to heal better but I like how the class revolves around damage tactics, buffs etc.

Just looking at some of the gear on the linked site in these forums I know if I had better gear I would have shelled out far better dps.

Its a good class overall imo but this game really involves knowing which classes you have an advantage over and which ones to avoid in open rvr.

I'm by no means an expert only been at it a week, I have tried almost all the other classes just to get a feel for them, and I can say Dok is easy to lv but will be hard to master.

FACT - WAR lacks innovation and creativity, the vast majority of players want something new, not the same fantasy setting killing animals for X amount of times just to advance in levels.

FACT - The MMO market is starting to realize the lack of innovation and creativity and some of the new upcoming titles are proof, This will make WAR and any other WoW cookie-cut level based clone a short lived shelf life!

I don't want to post any offensive language that someone might cry about because of their high level of sensitivity, however.....

You have NO idea what your talking about period the end.

These forums are DEAD IMO nothing new and creaitive and CB and OB are here, so no point in reading the trash posted here by people upset WAR is awesome.

See all of you in cool folks in the headstart.

Saying I'm invited to CB and having a crit error message is a violation?

My question is asking if I installed the client corretly, I haven't stated anything about Cb, so where is the problem?

There are many posts regarding how to donwload the client from recent invites and problems occuring, theres no breach of any information, many people are having problems not familair with installing the client.

I have downloaded the CB client and patched files after the download.

After the patcher completes and I log into the game the video opetions screen and server screen pops up.

After a few seconds I get a error message cannot autherize login and get booted off.

Is this supposed to happen because the CB servers are offline or is this from file corruption?

I did copy the client files to a seperate folder as was suggested in the forums, anyone help out with this?

I downloaded the beta using utorrent (took forever). after i installed and updated all the patches, i was ready for WAR. i see the logos and finally get to the loading screen. then i get to the screen with the settings and cinematics options and so forth. then all i get is a critical error and then it shuts down after i click "ok". i dont even see a spot to click play or anything. any advise? anyone else have this issue?

I just found this post which basically answered my question, thanks for the negative crying about NDA breach, as ther eis none, man talk about unhappy campers.

Actually Wow players are mostly rude and selfish with litte concept of teamwork as the game hardly requires any of it except for the hardest endgame instances.

The pvp in wow =major joke for he who has the biggests Sword shall surely win.  Meaning gear unfortunately has the most influence in the outcome in pvp, hardly any cooperation or real effort since the pvp changes.

AV is nothing but a race to the enemies general wait a few minutes to cap some towers and then kill before they kill yours.

If you think hardcore is leveling a character to 70 in a day or two without sleeping or using friends to help you power level, well your mistaken.

Actually I cant' think of wow as hardcore at all, not one single thing, its a fun game but deffinately not hardcore.

I think the wow teddy bears are in for a rude rude awakening when the DAOC crowd gets back into the swing of RVR and shows what tactics and skill means without worrying about ridiculous hi end gear playing the win factor.

What will the Teddy Bears do when the I win button doesn't work?

Yes I have a CB invite from the US, check your beta login center account for updates thats where I got the info, I recieved no email so keep checking and good luck.

I posted a check your Beta login account thread because I recieved no email at all, but when I checked the

login center it said I was accepted to the CB and had my code waiting.  I then entered that code on the

Mythic website where your master account will be created for WAR and it now reads Beta active.

My point is everyone who pre ordered CE should deffinatley check the Beta login center because the

torrent is a long download trust me still at 26% as of 6am this morining, sigh.

I just randomly checked the EA Beta login center and Huzzah got my CB invite and code, no email so all the pre orders should check your status at the login center good luck folks!

I totally disagree in wow gear = win.

I have played wow since the OB and if you a class is green gear at 70 and the other 70 in s4 or equivalent gear theres no way the ungeared person is going to win very much.

The bonuses that dps and casters get from gear and the dps on a green weapon of 70 vs an s4 weapon are so uneven its not funny.

A green weapon for a mele class that is lv 70 could be around say 59 -64 dps roughly.

I'm not 100% sure on s4 stats seen a few but I know its 90 plus dps to 100.

The way dps is calculated in wow this difference in dps is like throwing a spear at a plane that is dropping an atomic bomb on you.

You are incorrect, there are 20 classes in WAR.

What you fail to realize that each of these classes has a specific role or function in the game.

For example a squig herder is a ranged dps class.  So is a Bright Wizard.  But each of these classes are completely different with totally different abilities that accomplish the role of ranged dps.

For instance a Bright Wizard casts fireballs and ranged spells etc, while the Squig herder peppers the enemy from a distance with a ranged weapon, add his pet and the mastery path to mele .It is absolutely a totally unique class seperate from the classes that are considered ranged dps,

I don't understand your confusion regarding the 20 classes in the game. 

Most mmos have tanks/ranged dps/healers/and mele dps these days but that is their function as a class or job if you will.

A class is for instance Ironbreaker or Warrior both are tanks but different in class name, abilities, spec paths or masteries if you will.

The excellent thing about Warhammer lore is that we are not seeing generic classes such as the Warrior class or a Cookie cutter Priest class in this game.

The 20 classes provided at launch will enable the players to fullfill the basic jobs of tank/ranged dps/healer/and mele dps.

So I hope I cleared up any confusion you had regarding what a class is and what a role or job of a class is.

Lastly a small note, a Paladin in Wow is a class, but it is considered a hybrid class because depending on gear and talent specs it can fullfil the role of either healer or tank.  Ultimately the warrior is perhaps arguably the "Best" tank but in certain dungeons and instances the Paladin can tank or heal well.

No one I know who has played Wow would consider suggesting the Paladin and the Warrior are even close to comparison as a class.

It seems no matter what Mythic does or says someone finds something to complain or raise the sky is falling Doom flag.

Has any other company been so transparent with their developement of a game or explained so much to the public than these guys?

I see now these forums are really an excuse for people to "hear themselves talk" or a desperate means of feeling important.

Its a good thing Mythic will not have an official forum because I can't stand the forums that exist as it is.

Very rarely is there a topic posted with legit fairness or creative thinking.

The same topics and flaming are posted over and over agian under different headings.

The questions have been answered and the NDA will be lifted shortly yet here we go agian with the new topic of the day "BAD NEWS" only half the content for OB OH NO!

This game will not be perfect, nothing is.  I will enjoy a new game with new experiences, new classes, content and the works.

No matter what Mythic might have done or come up with it still would'nt have been enough for most of the haters in these forums.

Along with "MY" CE preorder I will recieve a Chest full of gold.....however it will not be enough for most of you.

The only thing not being done I would like to see is a unique sever with a minimum age of 30, verified by mailing in a photo copy of a valid state driver's license or passport matching the information of the account registred for this game.

Its time to put the women and "CHILDREN" to bed and goto WAR!

This video is awesome! Awesome graphics, awesome combat that seems faced paced but not ridiculous, a perfect example of why I'll play this game and give it a fair try.

All the recent negative posts and only beta testers really know what the game is like so far.

No other game including Wow which I played in the open beta looks as good or is as exciting.

This game will NOT be perfect on release and I hope they add or fix the remaining four classes before long.

Even if they goto the drawing board its going to be fun playing a new game with new ideas.

If I was Mark J.  I'd be proud of what he's accomplished so far and hopes to achieve in the end.

For all the older mature players that have been around as long as UO and the original EQ this is a game that looks very promising.

In a few months we'll be past all of these issues and be heading for release and something new.

If you haven't experienced endless CR runs in EQ or played broken classes in wow from the begining then you don't truly know how all of these unexpected changes is problably for the better.

Alot of the mmo community or player base are young and expect the world on a silver platter.

I expect no matter what WAR is going be be fun and exciting.

THIS IS MY OPINION choose for yourself.

Are you kidding me???

What decent really good or great mmo released 20 playable classes? AND.........all the other things War is bringing to the table, ie tome, PQs, etc.

PVP is crap in every game out there, go ahead say its not and your full of it.  Its either unbalanced or a complete gank fest.

These guys at Mythic are working hard to release an awesome RVR game, not some three ring circus related to wow.

They stated exactly what will NOT be available on release and why, yet you bitch about CONTENT and you have no frikin clue how much they have and will release.

So were not getting what Mythic and all of us had hoped for right away, OMG the sky is falling.

Please don't play this game, in fact go troll in another forum because candyland is about your speed.

Too bad there isn't an official forum for War because all the idiots post here.

All this negative bullshit about War is ridiculous.

This game is going to pimp slap all the BS pvp out there and there's no stopping the WARTRAIN!

What the hell are you even trolling about now?

I think your envious of Paul B you talk about him so much, just give him a call I'm sure he'd love to chat with you.

You are a clown in a small circus with troll like abilities.

When your starving and havn't eaten for days suddenly a cracker isn't a cracker at all.....its a RITZ!

Not everyone enjoys Paul B's podcasts or mannerisms so don't watch if your senses are that delicate.

Want to punch someone in the face?  There are many trolls in this forum that could skin you alive lad be careful of what you wish for.

Troll........

Don't mention public quests at all because,  War is the first to throw that concept out there where everyone gets some reward upon completion.

Blackguard, disciple of khaine, archmage, Chosen, Witchhunter.......all of the classes of War are unique to its lore but are created in such a way that you will never feel like your playing a typical healer or caster in mmos out there today.

RVR was created in DAOC/Mythic and no other game even comes close to what they released in battlegrounds, relic raids and open warfare.  War is attempting to have an even better system.

So you make a BS post when you know there is a ton of information released explaining or showing the inovative stuff in War and you post your crap anyway?

What did you hope to achieve other than a reply which you will read and maby feel a warm and fuzzy about?

The only reason I posted a reply to your crap is I'm tired of clowns like you making crappy posts about nothing.  I'd ban you from this forum if I could.
