the game itself is ok. i like how the scenarios works, with xp loot etc. i like the idea of PQ and how they work IF there was enough people in the game / less servers. i allways found it hard to deal with the PQ short after release caused by low server populaion on allmost every EU server. there were just not enough to get some social going, and that made me a bit sad.

For the 1½ months i was playing it, but i was feeling i was playing a solo game in an empty world.

enough said, they did a huge mistake by adding to many servers in the beginning.

ill rate this game 6

no i will not. it has allready been canceled, and have lost all faith in mythic. mainly because of one thing; server population - they just made to many servers, and they all became low. and rvr on low servers = sux   (europe)

and since they didnt merge some servers they basically killed the game.

No matter how much i love WAR i have to agree. i just (with a tear in my eye) canceled WAR. It is a great game, but there are to many low servers in EU. all are low, and the world seems empty. so im going back to old wow just to try the hero class, and as it is now im gonna stay back there. i never meet other people beside in scenarios and its bad. there allmost never someone who wants some open-rvr, and since pvp/rvr is what i like, its gives me an empty feeling. perhaps ill be back when ALOT of servers are merged and they have fixed some of the still many small bugs that just enoys me sometimes (and there is still to many)

i can only talk for order(dps) since that is what i am playing. im a BW and pwn everyone, only have to look at the top of the dmg list after a scenario. at the top i allways find BW and sorc. One of the only classes i never see somewhere near the top is SW and white lion. and, yes its strange that the engineer somehow dissapear in tier3, guess its because BW is the ultimate best ranged dps ( or at least most think so) after reading this post i have decided to start up an engineer and try it out through T1 and some of T2 just to find out how the DPS are and see how fun they are to play.

I have allways been a caster as main char in any MMO,  perhaps its the lack of magic that makes people chose BW over the SW / engineer ?

Edit: perhaps its the annoying sound from the gun that drives people insane? the sound just poppet up in my mind seconds after posting this :P

i would like to see the "Hammer" as melee dps. i dont like the white lion (damm pet-class) or the vanHelsing lookalike. give me a class that can storm in, hit stuff and die, mindless brutal force ;O)

i cant wait for the endgame content. im playing on karag-oroud europe atm, and there is just not happening much RvR :S its bad, since its imo the most fun in the game :) merge some servers and lets get bussy :P

so, its those things that you dont think about unless it is missing. And yes, those you mention, i have to agree on them. i have chosen on a high population server in Europe, but i havnt experinced any problems logging in after a crash ( have only had 1 over 3 days) the thing that annoyes me most is there is no loot link whatsoever. i got a rare sword today (not soulbound) but coulndt really link to ask in the guild if anyone wanted it.

about the fun: Yes, bolster is a great idea - who wants to gank ppl in scenarios that is 5-6 levels below you? it just makes it more fun, and more fair for everyone.

RVR: so far it is REALLY FUN :)

PQ: another great part of the game - it gives xp, loot, and you can just walk into it and have a blast. beside that, its really fun to try them the first few times.

guild level: this is also something that i really think is a great idea. as a guild you will have to put effort into it, making everyone in the guild feel more "alike"

Classes: so i have been trying some different classes, and finally decided to go for the bright wizard - really fun class ( have allways been caster) but tbh the Archmage is also ALOT of fun!!! never had that much fun being a healer class. works really great :) also, when being in a rvr area, the tanks really owns compared to other MMO games. they can take a beating and are not only a caster target.

that brings me to balance - this is something that makes this game really great - defensive tanks can in fact beat a dps class:) to me it all seems VERY balanced, and there will therefor never be a class that dosnt show up in the battlefield :)

so i fanally got my new pc put together last night. atm im DL the patch, looking forward to trying some of the classes that i have been looking forward to. first i think ill try out the order tank classes, since i normally dont like being a tank, and gonna try those new "tank hybrids" there is in WAR. secondly im gonna try the archmage as a healer, well, because of the same reason - hybrid. if none of those are for me, ill pick my normal ranged dps class, time will show what i end up with :)

i have been following the development of the game for 1½ year aprox now, and first of all i have to say, that "lairs" is very VERY old news!!!

when that is said, yes it seems like a really cool thing to do - looking for secret buttons etc around the world. but im sure, in a few months all the secret ways to open lairs are on some sort of homepage, and there wont be anything exciting about running around, trying to get some gate open (unless they change it every month, or add more)

But no matter how great an idea it is to make lairs work that way, you wont see me running around hour after hour, to fint out someone opened that lair on another server 1 hour ago.

I take that as a major insult especially considering I hate WoW.  Maybe you should kiss off and stop being a hater .. the OP isn't crapping on the Open servers or saying there shouldnt' be any simply stating that he's not some 'carebear' but he'd prefer to play on a core server so he atleast has the 'option' of completing the PvE portions of the game.
 

It'll be near impossible to complete the PvE TOK items since once you reach say Tier 2 you can no longer visit Tier 1 at all.

Well said.

 

I wonder how worthwhile the tactics / abilities are that you get from Tome unlocks and if they'd give a significant advantage?

Why shouldnt you be able to complete TOK pve quests when you are done in tier1 ? as far as i understand it is the plan, that you can only be turned into a chicken in the RVR zones? ^^

have been thinking alot about core vs open in WAR. in the start i couldnt see any reason to be core, since in a real war you cant just say "haha im not flagged". but tbh, by playing the core, all the rvr / pvp will be at some spots, which means, that it will be more intense, insted of people running around all over the WAR world.

so honestly, i have allmost changed my mind from open to core by now, but who knows :D

This is not crafthammer online as it has been stated many times. there is going to be a craft system, but its not gonna be special at all. tbh i have never been a fan of crafting, and i really like the system they have made for WAR at this point. its gonna be simple, and when you make potions, there is no real "click" recipi for items, you have to spend time yourself to discover them :) so its gonna be simple, but it will still have just enough depth to have alot of people spending time creating new, hopefully usefull potions and charms etc.

and one thing i really like is, that you can make extremly powerfull potions that dosnt last for long (usefull in rvr) without spending hours getting the materials. and same goes for pve, long lasting potions that dosnt boost you as much, so pve encounters dosnt come down to "we cant do it without everyone fully potted up!"

think im going open as well. nothing better that making a death-squad with some guldies, ride around in the enemy teritory or hotspots outside instances, and kill everyone on our way.

in the first week or 2 ill try out some classes from each realm befor i decide. i will not only base my choice on how the classes work, that would be a lie. ofc ill think about the population as well - i like to be the underdogs, but if the players of that realm sux bigtime as well, there will be a chance that ill chose the other side if there are a class that is just as much fun to play there. ofc it can be really hard to tell during the first / second week, but it gives an idea. and yes, ill stick with the race / realm when i finally chose one, not matter if alot of n00bs rerolls.

damm nice video. and it shows how usefull a denfensive tank class can be - in rvr and pve. i dont see many reasons not to lvl as defensive, if you want to be a tank class ;)

hehehehehehehehe :D guess Hello Kitty is gonna be a huge hit in china etc :P im sure they will earn ALOT of money or something ... :D

untilll today i was 100% sure that i wanted to play darkelfs.. so i decided to watch some clips on youtube, seeing how Highelfs were fighting in rvr clips. and it makes me sad, that the classes the highelfs got looks like so much more fun. im really impressed by the shadow-warrior. i never liked the descipsion there was on warhammeronline.com but damm they seems to kick ass and really fun to play. long time ago i liked the archmage, and it annoyed me it was highelf.

I gonna try out some of the classes at release, and right now im thinking i want to be a shadow-warrior / archmage. if not, ill be darkelf disciple ( they REALLY looks fun!)

but my vote goes for highelf atm.

tbh i could never play anything but mmo. i a bit frustrated since i really enjoy guitar hero, but cant really get the time for it now when WAR is soon to be released.. and soon there will be Fallout3, and with Diablo3 in development, it makes me sad to know, that there are no really chance that i will be playing em soon... only if WAR fails bigtime ill have the time, but i doubt
