BioWare isn't going to divert any resources to fixing this game. In fact - the drain has gone the other way.

 

ZZzzzzzzz...

The game is fine and there are devs doing patches, look at the size of LOTD or 1.3.2 patch and 1.3.3.

Proof enough that game is not dying.

Keep selling it.

Jacobs was still around when LotD was released. Was is it - 10 servers NA/EU combined?

Yeah, it's doing just fine. Wake the hell up.

and this is from a person who has not played with the new stuff added?  Oh my the all knowing, knows how the game is in its current state because he played before and had a bad time.  OH MY... what an insight.  listen man, sub up and play it if you want to give an opinion.  If you sub right now and give us reasons whats wrong with the game right now... yeah i might agree with you on some points..

but stating the crapola garbage you give... makes me feel like somebody stole your milk money and you are all sore about it.

grow up man.. dont like the game move on... dont want to give it a chance.. move on... this game right now... is way better then it was at launch..

i JUST RESUBBED AND NOT LEAVING.... this game is super fun now.  I suggest anybody on the brink of wanting to try this game.. TRY IT... its fun...

tier 4 is NON STOP ACTION... lower tiers might be a problem.. but some of us are asking for changes to fix that.

I agree that War is improving with every patch, especially this patch. And i just sub back to take a look.

How do i put it, the starting area though combine, for the dest side, is using chosen area. Maybe i expect too much, thought it will be a new starting area like VG.

And after playing for a while, till around level 9, its the same old boring world. sc is still active, but not much players ( Gorfang)  during prime time.

Just that the whole thing still doesn't really make it anything diff from last time out, but great credit to Mythic that now performance have really greatly improve. From a single digit fps during launch even doing quest, now its really smooth.

For me, i think its really too little too late...

 

 

 

 

Ya, I know what you re saying, but with most games a year+ the population is mostly at end game. Tier 4 is very busy on IR anyways. I actually log in and have alot of fun. Before I couldn t say that, I was searching for things to do. Now when they bring back Fortresses, with IMO will have relics, that will add even more Tier 4 stuff to do.

I played for a year - starting at release. Mythic has had enough of my money for a shoddy game.

When and if they fix end game and take the sick amount of CC out of Tier 3 and 4, then I'll resub.

I'm not being paid to promote the game.

They did take a lot of the CC out of the game in 1.3.2.

I have been playing from release too - on and off at times though.

They took out most of the CC in the latest patch m8...

I started playing WAR on the 15th of this month. I have a 21/18 Warrior Priest. I really like the lore and design of the game. It runs smooth even when I turn up my gfx. I have leveled mostly through ORvR. I only did PvE to get some gear I liked. No CTDs, easy to find groups through the grouping system, and a advice channel to help with questions. It really is a good game.

No. Tier one and two are good.

There is a huge drop off at higher levels.

If a lot of changes are made, and the game rights itself, I'll be back on board!

Well that is kind of wierd. Usually games that are already out have most of the players at end game already. People on my server say it is more active in T3/T4, though so far T1/2 it has been pretty active. Lots of fights in Nordland and at keeps in T2. What server do you play on? I am on Dark Crag (ORvR).

Tier 1 in Warhammer is the greatest!

I"ve rolled litterally dozens of different characters and scrapped them to do Tier 1 again.

The PvP is the greatest and gear really isn't a factor.

If someone could somehow capture the essence of Tier 1 snd apply it to the rest of the game, It would be pure gold!

I think it has a lot to do with trials in t1. On badlands and gorfang, my main two servers its relatively packed in t1 and t2 however now at t3 on badlands its severely dying off. I have not reached t4 yet but I am hoping it picks up when I get there. Otherwise it will feel like a huge waste of time reaching max lvl.

I agree with every one of these points.

T1 is fun because it's so fast and no one has that many abilities, tier 3 is very slow plowing through and leveling in tier 4 is painful because you are new against the hordes of well geared players.

When I roll an alt it's great fun to go through T1-3 and painful in T4 because I have to do it in PvE.

Getting my slayer to 40 in few weeks I believe, but mostly enjoying my Witch Hunter at the moment (rr60) or my Bright Wizard (rr50).

How does the game play since the AoE nerfs? The game was really completely balanced around powerful AoE and them nerfing it to uselessness just because people didn't like getting raped by smaller groups really seemed like a terrible idea

To win against superior force aoe is the only way or trying to split their forces if you have less aoe.

I feel the game is quite well balanced at the moment even though I have sometimes hair splitting agony from AOE still, but as long as you understand that as a single target or healer you are not supposed to step into the aoe and instead try to hit their healers who stand too far apart or support your aoe guys. There are also some abilities that help you survive these attacks from different classes - damage absorption auras from tank morales and so forth.

Shorter version: They made aoe little less powerful but it still plays a large role in some situations but there is also other methods now.

The game is basicly on death's door.

 Almost every major guild on all remaining servers ( think their are 5 left) have moved to aion or just through in the towel.

 Last count was like 700k or so sub's and that was before the aion release they are probaly at like 500k 600k top's to put it into prospective age of conana has 100k subs.

On the remaining servers  you will find a one way zergball (the RP server is just a ghost town) and most of the time it is at low/low on all servers.

Anyone rember what the magic number was that made EA pull the plug on hellgate londond? I am sure the people at mythic know it and I am sure they where told months ago this is the number you all lose your jobs at.

The forms are almost at the mortal online point where anything not pro WAR get's edited and you get a warning or baned.

I am betting that most people at games workshop are going to ask santa for the heads of mythic inc., a dark ally, a base ball bat, and no camera's or witness's. so they can play the RL warhammer on them.

On a positive note I was able to get my hands on a CE of WAR at gamestop for 30$ I put the unopend box with all my warhammer minitures and books as a reminder of what could have been but was not.

RIP WAR

To mythic empoies enjoy the unenployment line take a snickers and a coke with you you are going to be their a long time because after what you all did to WAR no one is going to hire your sorry ass's...

You realize that if AoC can continue to operate with ~150k subscriptions then WAR is more than fine with 5-6x that. If you had actually thought about what you were saying then you probably wouldn't have said anything.

AoC figures have been that low since about 6 months after release and it's still going and they're still making content for it.

If a company knows it is going to be shutting down a project then it doesn't keep working on patches and content. There would be no point. That's just more resources you'll be dumping down the drain. When you stop seeing patches and major updates to a game coming down the pipe then you should start to make such claims.

To be completely honest I've been considering returning to WAR. If enough has been changed. If not then to be completely honest I'm kind of done with mmo's in general. I've got Dragon Age and Borderlands to keep me busy until something comes along that is just right for me. Not perfect, but just right.
