    Here is another classic example of people that lack intelligence or just dont know how to read, so allow me to once again to _hold your hand_ and point you in the correct direction. In the event you dont understand what _POST_ means;

     

    POST = After 

    So with that out of the way, please re-read the title of this thread, i didnt say _PRE_ level 22, i said _POST_ level 22 and even added a +

    I sure hope WAR doesnt have this persons type of intellect in their community, or we are in trouble!

     

    
     

    Look dude, you fail...give it up. I'm dismissing you with cause and you won't see a penny!

A quest in the T3 area that may take you 20 minutes to do will usually give you 4,000 XP.... a Scenario which is usually over in 6-10 minutes? 10,000+ XP...you do the math. Not to mention that scenarios also give you renown.

    to me that is the problem most have with this game we didn't come for instanced pvp we came for world rvr i don't do the scenarios as i goburned out on instanced pvp(wow bg's anyone) years ago yet the best xp and renown reward for pvp is in instanced pvp which is lame

    
     

    To be fair... I came in to WAR with the same attitude as you. I avoided scenarios like the plague at T1 because I also prefer open RvR and have bad memories of scenarios in other games. A guildmate convinced me to start doing the T2 scenario in the Dwarf area (something Monastery... I forget) and much to my surprise I found myself enjoying them. 

    Maybe it's because it's my first experience with scenarios that have been designed as an alternate way to level and you get very good XP and some renown. No question though, T2 raiding in a guild WB and taking keeps was much more fun. We'll be hitting all the T3 areas this Friday looking for trouble.

    Anyone who played DAoC at launch though will remember that we had nothing but open RvR there and after a few weeks it was tough for anyone to RvR unless you were at or near the cap... their instanced practice RvR areas came much later. But the point is, as in DAoC, all of this pre-T4 RvR is just practice...the real game begins at T4.

• • WAR becomes another grind fest post level 22+

  • Just in case an innocent bystander comes by this thread and thinks the OP knows what he's talking about...he is clueless. About his points....

    1. re: levels... while you level you can PvP within your tier (a 10 level range) people at the top-end of the tier, all else being equal, will average better performance than those at the lower... did someone expect otherwise? lol.... anyway, this is temporary since we'll all be at 40 within the month.

    2. Empty T3 scenarios... I ran Tor Anroc 7 times in one hour just before bed last night... Some scenarios at each tier are more popular than others...fly around...ask people...TA is the most popular T3 scenario, in case you need it spelled out for you. Btw... at 24, I hold my own just fine (you get buffed up to 28 if you're lower) against 29's...

    re: Leveling curve is huge and slow.... this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Anyone who has ever played any other MMO will immediately notice just how easy it is to level in WAR. If you want to complain about leveling you should be whining about the opposite....it may just be too easy.

    Clue: Scenarios = much, much, much....did I say much? faster leveling than doing quests where you need to find things in caves and such....OBVIOUSLY. An example"? A quest in the T3 area that may take you 20 minutes to do will usually give you 4,000 XP.... a Scenario which is usually over in 6-10 minutes? 10,000+ XP...you do the math. Not to mention that scenarios also give you renown.

    Playing on my spare time....after work... watching tons of NFL, CFL, MLB and hockey prea-season.... level 24 Archmage with level 17 renown...and that's because I do enjoy exploring and questing.

     

    It is possible to have complaints about WAR--it's not perfect--but this one is useless and ignorant.

• • For those moaning about balance of sides.

  • The class make-up and abilities are very well balanced here compared to DAOC at launch. This is pretty easy to do when the classes are mirror images of each other. In DAoC all three sides had distinct and unique classes. Balancing there was highly debatable.

    From what I saw of RvR here, all else being equal, if the numbers for each side are the same, the fights last a long time and feel very well balanced. If they ever feel like they have to buff one side due to population inbalance on a server, it's far more likely it will be done on a tier by tier + x% damage and heals or HPs than individual class buffs.

    The way things are now, an Archmage one on one vs. a Shaman will stalemate each other. I don't expect that to change.
