• • I keep going back to this game how do I have fun long term?

  • So very true. I have left and come back 3-4x now. Played from release to the ED fiasco. Came back for COV. PLayed it through a couple times. Quit for a long stretch. Came back when VEATS were released. Got 1of each to 50, quit again.

     

    It just gets so bloody repetative after a month or 2 of playing. After 4 lv50 heros and 4 lv50 villians, bleh. And the total lack of anything to do with level cap toons irritates me. Other than influence farming to fund new alts they just sit there collecting dust.

    Nah, personally I think it will spike high on sales and then dwindle quite a bit on subs, especially after WotLK arrives.

    It's too much of a one trick pony.

     

    I do not think it will happen with WoTLK,  I know alot of PvPers that are not happy about the idea of PVP armor or weapontry tied to both Regular PvP and the Arena.  Now this might now happen before launch, but the idea of it happening have friends of mine going back to Starwars Galaxies and Sony (Faint). I for one will not go back to wow now, I have experienced the WAR pvp set and their is no going back.

     

    Its, funny. I'm browsing this and other War forums right now over that decision by Blizzard. I detest their duel in a box PVP and the desicion to make any and all PVP gear tied to it made me decide to cancel 2 accounts and start looking elsewhere.

    
     

    Actually WOW has three ways to get PVP gear.. you get it from Arena, you get it from Battlegrounds and now you get it from Lake Wintergrasp (open world RvR)  Some of the best gear will require Arena ratings, some will require battleground tokens, and some will require you to win Lake Wintergrasp.

    And to put in Warhammer's terms.  Yes, in WOW there are a few pieces that you can only get by winning in the Arena.  But isn' that the same as Warhammer.. Isn't Order going to be 'locked out' of the best pvp gear because they are losing on that server?   WOW, just like War, gives the best gear to players who win, but they give the losing side gear that is good enough to be competitive.

    I can't wait for another month when not only is destruction steamrollong on most servers because of population imbalance, but they will also have better gear.  There is already a lot of QQ now, wait til then.

     

    Perhaps you haven't been   following recent developments in Beta of Wrath. But ALL PVP gear, even the blue starter sets now require a combination of arena points and honor. In fact, the number of points needed would have an avg play on an avg team 2-4 months to get a starter PVP set.

    Well, since WAR isn't a RAID game it should work fine to play casually even though big sieging might be something you miss.

    Try it out and see if you like it, if not Spellborn is releasing soon and might be worth a look too.

     

    Yes, I realize War isn't   a raid game, and honestly its why it has my attention. I was planning on a more casual play style in WoW, doing mostly battle ground PVP. But the recent desicion by Blizzard has me looking elsewhere.

    Will a person still be competitive in War RVR on a casual schedule?

  • Cool, thanks for the input.

     

    How do you think this will play out at max level for character progression? After settting my game time to confrom to the guild raid schedule for a couple years, I'm just nervous above getting a character to max and then not getting anywhere with it on a casual time frame with a more erratic schedule.
