Look. If you want your game to continue please divide up the 40-60 renown ranks from the 80-100 in scenarios. Please? I'm almost 80 and it would be bad for me, but the thing about what you are doing now is no one wants to make new characters. This can't be good.

 

What? Are you waiting until they get done rushing to 100? I just don't understand throwing a 40 RR in with a 100 RR. It doesn't make much sense.

 

I love the game but the problem is that it is the huge imbalance that makes it somewhat more fun for the stronger side. Trouble is though too much imbalance and the game is close to unplayable for the weaker side. They just log. With a negative impression of the game in their mind.

 

I think if you got even more serious about this game, that you have a good chance to add a lot more subscriptions in 2011. Some changes need to be made. The changes that have been made have been fantastic, and thoughtful. Keep up the good work. And to EA don't underestimate how much we (the loyal fan base) are willing to shell out to make this game better. This is unique in the offerings of MMO's in that it makes you feel something. You "hate" at times the opposite side (with that grain of salt in the back of your mind). The action is fast and fun. We will pay money to keep this game going, but please make it even better in return for our loyalty.

Well play Darkfall and you will quickly realize that War is carebear enough for the most part. Still, to protect their game they should immediately change at least the scenario pairings. Maybe when they get enough 100's they will.

yeah i know.....darkfall cought my eye too a while ago and for pvp people it seems to be a very good game.

But for me its just a bit (not much) TOO hardcore.

It has even housing and stuff that can be attacked by other players if i am correct here......dont shoot me if i got that one wrong tough :)

If warhammer had 3 factions (and realy open pvp) just like DAOC then it would prolly OWN the pvp market imo.

" Why don't they want new characters made?"

1. No more money. EA isn't giving them any more money to develop new toons. That's why the Skaven was what it is; a 'shared' race playable by both.


2. No people. Mythic doesn't have enough people to develop new toons. They are all either working on SWTOR or they found a new job (Rift, DCUO, etc)


3. No subscription base. This game does not have enough subscription base to justify making new toons. They already have plenty; it's just that people playing now are bored with them. But they aren't about to spend millions of dollars just so 70k people can play Vampires or something. That's stupid.


4. Can't compete with new games. Say they develop two new races. Even if they figured who to slot them with without breaking lore and pissing the IP off, the new MMOs coming out will steal all the subs because there aren't that many people interested in a PvP game with weak PvE. Newer games are promising both good PvE and PvE so no one is coming back to level up a toon with weak support that will be flattened in 3 seconds by a RR100.


Tons more reason, but we don't have THAT much time.

EDIT: Read the OP post a little more carefully and it doesn't seem as though he's asking for new classes/races.


Even so, take all the points above and most still apply pretty much.
