• • Newbie, scenario access?

  • if you queued to do the senario then you have to wait for it.  It has nothing to do with your level so no worries there.

     

    Some days I queue up and wait hours.  others I wait 3 minutes and i'm in.  it appears to matter if enough ppl are in the queue.  That's my take.

    Spending time in the scenarios and rvr something has become exceedingly clear with Warrior Priest...THEY DON'T FREAKING HEAL!!  I know your class has the word warrior in it but your main job is a healer, that means you toss some heals every which way.  You are not a DPS class stop acting like it!

    After spending many hours in the scenarios and on RvR field, I saw only 1 warrior priest actually do some healing.  In scenarios where a bright wizzard or witch hunter has put out more healing than the priest is a sad sad day. 

    So if you do not want ot heal and just dps than please pick another class, we need people who really want to heal and not just themselves.

     

    rofl, have you actually played a WP?  I didn't think so.  it's not as easy as you think.  There is no such thing as a healbot.  The WP can't just ' toss some heals every which way'.  He actually has to fight to gather the power to heal.  So yes he has to get medieval and 'DPS' to heal.

     

    Second, if you don't know the 'healer' or he isn't making a point of watching out for you, don't expect regular heals if at all.  If I'm still learning a class my focus may be a bit narrow. thus I'd probably focus my healing on those in my party and maybe only few that I'm focusing on.  

     

    Lastly, maybe they don't  WANT to play a healbot.  maybe they want to play a different way.  In which case, cease your whining.  If you want heals, then play a healer or  group up with a 'healer'.  either way, feel free not to tell others how they should play.  Your opinion is just that, an OPINION. 

     

    Hope that helps clear things up.

• • The importance of gear in WAR!

  • Actually gear isn't the focus of the game.  Like Mark said in his post, it was a BUG that allowed a   tier 1 (rank 10) to get tier 2 armor.  Of course he  would own in the scenarios with that advantage. 

     

      From previous posts they're shooting for something like 40% gear 60% skills.  Yes, gear will have a definite impact but unless you know your skills you will fall.  Unlike other games where if you have the best equipment you were a unstoppable juggernaut.

    On the one hand, the 'no recipe' concept is pretty cool.  Instead of having an carved in stone recipe for a  strength potion that will NEVER change.  I can make it give a bigger buff or last longer or have more doses..ect.  I like this concept.   It allows me to make the kind of potion that best suits my needs.

     

    On the other hand something about the TYPES of crafting just didn't excite me.  but then again they only talked about 1/2 of the crafting possibilities AND they were quick to say that this is only in testing and can (and probably will) change.

    The fact that there will be websites with 'recipes' means nothing to me.   Why everyone is fixated  on this is beyond me.  let it go.  By 'no recipe' they simply mean there is no need to buy/loot a recipe to make items.  Anyone can make a strength potion as long as you have the needed materials.  However, because of the various possible materials that can be used there will be a wide variety of 'strength potions'. 

     

    Conclusion: I'll wait till it's closer to release before i make my final decision about crafting.  There just isn't enough info to make a decision.

    Because it’s a pain in the butt. I’m not saying this will be the end of the world or anything but this kind of crafting system has its problems.

    You are going to have to go online to look at what will probably be a huge list of recipes or you will be reinventing the wheel, pretending that there isn’t an easier way.

    Its not fun to tab in and out of a game looking at websites to see what you can make, even worse if you have to log out because the game wont let you switch.

    Experimenting sounds like fun, but it can turn into a chore really quick. And if you have a bunch of ingredients that took time to get or is fairly rare, you’re not going to waste them by trying things out, you are going to go online and see what’s the best thing you can make. Most everyone will.

    A recipe based system keeps people in the game more. Not knowing what you can and can’t make is going to put the temptation to look online to see what you can do with a boar snout, fairy dust and mango or what ever you happen to have in inventory.

     

    Now this is a valid concern.  Yes you are right, if they don't allow for some method of in game recording of tried recipes then it will be a hassle.  I certainly hope they (and i'm sure they will) allow for some method of tracking crafting recipes, perhaps in the tome of knowledge or something.
