I never have any lag spikes even in large RVR fights but I do get at least one CTD every session.  It was better for awhile but now it seems to be getting worse again. 

Yeah I hear ya man.  Tiers 1 and 2 were fun but tier 3 was a dead end for me.  The game just died.  If everyone would get out of the scenarios and enter the open world it would be much better.  Im having more fun right now playing Spore than WAR.

This happened to me as soon as I upgraded to 1.03.  About an hour later I tried again and it worked so I dunno.  Haven't tried today yet.

Go into the advanced graphics options and change the CPU cache from default to maximum.  That solved this very same problem for me immediately.

You just click on each one and they're both chosen.  You'll see the targets name and the defensive targets name below that.

1. Dunno

2. Dunno

3. The defensive target is whoever you click that's friendly.  They will be the name under your target.

4. Hit the F buttons.  You're F1.  The next down the line is F2 and so on.

Great game.  Loving it so far.  But there's something that needs to be addressed.

I was doing a PQ earlier in a warband.  I kept noticing the same guy rolling Need on everything that dropped.  I looked around for him and didn't find him for about 10 minutes.  He was away from the battle, but still rolling on the loot.  He had found a safe spot to chill, contributed nothing, and rolled Need on everything.  Eventually he had enough of a bonus roll that he placed first and got a greater loot bag.

I hope they change the rules so you can only roll Need if your character can use the item.  Otherwise everyone rolls Greed and if you win the item great, you can sell it.

All I can do now is put the guy on Ignore and leave the group if I see him in it, which hurts me.

Opinions?

Folks,

Good, bad or ugly, Mythic has always had the integrity to stand up for what we think is the right thing to do in any situation. I don’t expect everyone to agree but I’ve never intentionally made a decision to hurt the community and/or our players and I don’t intend to start now. For the last couple of days we’ve been dealing with a very difficult and complicated situation. Sadly, there are lots of moving parts and sometimes it takes both a bit of elbow grease to get things working properly. Here’s where we stand right now. As of this morning, we deactivated a large number of accounts and ended the Head Start for our game. At the same time, we’ve been in touch with the retailers, both online and brick-and-mortar, and while we are getting great data on the number of people who will get their game today; there is still a relatively small number of people who won’t be able to get them due to shipping issues (no matter what the issues are, whose fault, etc.). So, after a lot of conversations I’m happy to announce that over the next few hours we are going to extend the grace period for all customers of Amazon, GoGamer and the EA Store till the 22nd of September. Based on the data we have gathered, these companies account for just about all the customers that were concerned about their chance to get into the game today. Thus, if you currently have an account with us, you’ll be able to get back into the game while you wait for your game to be delivered. Of course, all characters are still intact and no billing of any credit card has taken place (it couldn’t, the account still has free time on it) since the accounts were simply deactivated not wiped. We have been assured by all the brick-and-mortar retailers that they got their shipments in the stores already so if you needed to go to a store to pick up your game, the units are in stock everywhere. We will be monitoring the situation closely over the next twenty-four hours of course.

As I’ve said countless times, we will do the best we can in any situation to make it right and I hope you agree with have done so again. I thank the community for its support, especially for this rather thorny problem.

Yeah they're letting people back in.  My account has been reset to Active and I can log in and play now.

Places like Amazon.com have very low prices for early preorders.  I got the CE for $64.99 and they stick with that price where local retailers have gone up to $90.00.  When they say it will last until the 22nd and I arrange shipping to arrive on the 22nd to save $25.00 because the release was so close to the weekend, and then change it to the 19th AFTER the shipments have been made is not ok. 

I did the same thing.  I had it set as Overnight and would have had it today.  But I changed it according to how long the grace period was supposed to last and once it's shipped I find this out.  This sucks.

Yes CE editions too.

This is incredible.  The ones that pre-ordered their copies are going to lose their headstart advantage because they haven't received their games yet.  While someone that goes to the store today and buys a copy can play immediately?  They should have at least left it open through the weekend since it released on a Thursday.  One day is in no way a "reasonable grace period".

Contact Mythic and ask them to open the servers through the weekend.  If enough people do maybe they will.

Love the trophies.  Hope they get bigger and bolder as you level.  If you can see someones trophies right now you're already dead.

It's already started.

I just started the CB-OB client and it loaded right up into head start.  Didn't even patch anything unless it was too small to notice.  Alot of the servers are already full and the queues are long.   I'm killing time on my 1.5 hour queue now.

Apothecary has dye ingredients.

The way I read it was the CE headstarts will have their servers and the SE headstarts will have their servers.  They all won't be available to everyone until the game goes live.  So if you wanna play the headstart with the rest of your friends wait for the SE servers.

I think black is a craftable dye only.

Wish they gave the exact location of the servers (which state) so we'd know which was closest to where we are in the country.

Is it just East coast West coast locations?  Or just a single conglomerate?  Or does anyone know?

Healers do not heal. Tanks run like headless chickens and groups split up.

I second that.   I can't even remember how many times I died slowly from a multitude of dots with at least one healer standing right behind me doing nothing.  Or tanks afraid to go into the fray staying near the rear.  Everyone needs to do their jobs in the battle or roll something else that they will do.
