I quit after my 3rd week in for the exact reasons the attached article covered.  PQs were empty, level through scenarios only and as an X order player I found the imbalance made the game pointless to compete over and lets face it even if you win it means FA

 

I dont see any imbalance and I have played from low/low servers to full/flull both Order and Destruction. PQ's for me always had someone there to group, usually it requires looking in a few different places.  As in there is usually several PQ's in every chapter and that is spread out through 3 different pairings.  Try traveling? See if other areas had more players? I am sorry but everytime someone posts that there are no people around I am kinda shocked.  How can I find someone in non-peak hours everytime on either side, and you cant find 1 person to do a PQ? Weird.

 

I dont doubt what you say but it could be pure luck on the server load.  Trust me I gave this game a really good shot and I traveled far and wide and what shocked me was that at peak hours it was almost the same as 7am in the morning.  Low population and it got to the point where I would log on and check groups...nothing...run to new location and check again...1 person...run to new location and check...party of 3 maybe.  In 3 weeks I came across one warband of 20 people and that was painful as no one had a freakin clue but at least I saw someone.   Then to top it off Destruction literally owned every spot and the bar at the top was 95% red at all times.   I could try another server but I was pretty deflated after that.  

Well if WAR isnt for you, I suggest looking up on AION :Tower of Eternity, I am currently reading up on that game and it sounds and looks very promising.  You might want to look into that.  Good luck on your future endeavours

I tried to get an answer from Azrile aka Petey-Boy in another pointless thread he made about Amazon TOP100 sales list.

My question was: "What is your Agenda?" He never answered.

Why is he posting to or even reading this forum? And his pal Chrysis... what's his plan? They've clearly stated they don't want to play this game but why bother post on the games forum?

I really hope you could stay in the WoW-forum, it's your game. And Chrysis... please contribute to Tabula Rasa, it seems to be more like your cup of tea.

 

My agenda?  I just enjoy the debate.   Can we go through some questions?

1.  Did elders, the day before launch have an NDA on endgame content?   Yes
2.  Do lots of people on this forum and the others complain about everyone being in scenarios and not enough people doing RvR?   Yes
3.  Do lots of people show concern about population imbalances?  Yes
4.  Out of all the city seiges that have taken place.. have any of them worked?  No
5. Less than a month after launch, are there players asking for server mergers? Yes

And I don't recall what exact question you asked about the top 100 games sales.  The point remains that Warhammer has fallen out of the top 100 total games sales.  You can say " but only count PC games, don't count preorders and don't count games that begin with letter S"..but the fact remains...  Animal Crossing: City Folks sold more boxes than warhammer did last week.   Let's log into warhammer and count how many servers right now are at low/low and low/medium.. shall we?

Server populations have steadily decreased since launch.  Box sales are now in the Animal Crossing range and we haven't even hitten the first renewal date.

But really, the only reason I'm posting here is because for the past 30 mins, I've been trying to open my ingame mail  :)

1) NDA was lifted, several people already told you, discussion closed.
 

2) Not everyone complains about the scenario grinding, nor does this forum have any grasp on the overall player base.

3) Population imbalances seem to be aparant in most players that refuse to leave their pairing or try to discover other areas.

4) Cannot Comment on city sieges, have not been apart of one yet. (if there is a problem I hope and beleive Mythic will fix it)

5) The same players that are asking for server mergers are the same ones that dont bother trying to find other PQ's or open rvr areas in other pairings.

*POINT* Mythic is doing hotfixes, client updates every other day, this to me shows that they really care about the game and are trying to update/fix the issues.  You have posted bashing this game for a long time now, you want to debat? Fine I love a good debate..I however do not enjoy a person trying to seriously injure a player base with selfish prattle because the game is not WoW.  Your post history praises WoW all the time.  I honestly think your just worried of the players leaving your beloved game.  Get over it.

open beta was only up to the first 20 levels and the NDA was not lifted for the people in the closed beta who could access city seiges.  Exactly the same way AOC launched.

Why do you think we've seen 3 city seiges and all of them have been broken and exploited beyond belief

Were you in open beta? Did you test the top tiers? do you have proof for any of this or just assumptions? The fact that there is exploits or bugs only proves that the beta testers didnt catch everything.  Which is expected, get over it.  Everytime I read your post I swear im IQ drops.

I found this article funny.  Apparently Jacobs didn't.  He is fuming over on another forum.. and has vowed to take the 'gloves off' when talking about WOW.

http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/10/16/world-of-warcraft-game-director-on-warhammer-online

Apparently the offending part of the article was when the WOW developer questioned why a game would keep up an NDA until the launch of the game.  In my opinion, this is a very valid question.    You see this decision playing out on Warhammer since every city seige that has happened so far has been bugged and exploited.  When beta testers are 'hushed' there is no bully pulpit to get get glaring exploits fixed.

I also found it amusing that the WOW dev experienced a lot of what the rest of us did.   Very little RvR and the majority of the game is spent grinding scenarios.

I think the state of Warhammer is pretty apparent when the first 'state of the game' speech will come the day before first renewals and will amount to  'please don't quit'.   Maybe the second 'state of the game' speech will have a mop in the background and you can sing Baby come back..

 

Hey man, from me to you, I understand you have a wow love spot all saved.  Hey I used to play wow and someday I may go back it was a fun game. But why do you have the urge to constantly try and bash this game? You and Bodypass need to leave the WAR forums alone and stay over in the WoW forums.  Obviously some people should not have full forum access. If you hate WAR then ok cool, but why try to bash it every chance you get?  You have beta testers posting pics and telling you that NDA was lifted.  So why are you trying to continue with your foolish prattle? I just want you to know, Seeing you and a few others post bad things about other games that are not WoW is making me want to stay far far away from WoW.  Great job on anti-promoting wow.

AIon:Tower of Eternity is the game im really looking forward to. I just hope they do a good job with it.

Just been playing few scenarios this morning.  All of a sudden there is not a SINGLE healer or SINGLE tank in Order side.  AM are just dpsing and soloing and who wants to play the crap order tanks ? 

Just came up against a 3 mauraders - 2 tanks - 3 healing dps and one shaman.  Guess what happened ? 

Mythic just neferd the crap out of the only intresting part of Order side.  This was the last straw for me.  Its either join the destruction armies dominating ALL servers atm or just stop paying and playing. 

I desided to do the latter.  I have very little belive in a dev team that can't see the real problems.  Problems that one side of the game is crap and boring to play while the other is strong in PVP, intresting classes and looks, fun to play and OFC therefor DOMINATING the whole game.

No thx.  GB:

I have a problem with scenarios too, when some person who doesnt know how to play their class ruins it for me.  Tanks dont push, healers choose to dps over heal (some healers do a really good job, most dont).  However thats normal, go to any game and you will find someone not playing their class correctly. As far as class balancing..I have played Destruction and ORder and I much rather play order classes.  The classes from my understanding are balanced.  However you cant force people to tank or heal or do the right thing at the right time in a pvp or pve objective.  You have to change your tactic with every new group of players you meet/play with.  And uhh its luck of the dice, if you want a specific friend or class to acompany you...make some friends first (I know its hard for some here) invite them to your group and join as a group for the Scenario. Problem solved...not so difficult was it?
 

I have no idea what so ever how to answer the OP, all I can say..is write down your thoughts before posting.

Ok take what you will from this but I just had to note:
Reading WoW's new patch notes several things come to mind that seem familiar.
Achievements system
Player calendar
I also heard somewhere (but not confirmed) that they will if they haven’t yet have BG's instanced any where in the world.
So no matter what you think of War or Wow or any other game for that matter competition is a win, win situation for us all!!
 

 

So Warhammer is flattering LotRO since they had acheivements before Warhammer?
and Warhammer is flattering WOW since WOW had battlegrounds before Warhammer?  It's funny you are saying that WOW copied how to 'enter' battlegrounds from warhammer but failed to mention that WOW had battlegrounds before warhammer.

It would be stupid for games to try and reinvent the wheel with everything they do.  The big example is the pvp system in AOC where they tried to do things different, and in the end only wasted 4 months with no pvp system at all, only to release a pvp system that is nearly identical to what UO had for  years.

Daoc had battlegrounds before wow and daoc was made by mythic who made warhammer also. kids today sheesh.

I am enjoying WAR right now alot, but I am also keeping my eye on Aion because the game shows alot of promise.  We will see what happends...hell even WoW might make a come back if their expansion fixes the problems I have with it. Biggest one being the gear grind.

Ok Coffee and all the others who happened to be in Beta.

What happened?

Bg's are a joke with the new patch. What happened???

As a holy Pala with 495 resilience I could easely outheal the damage of 2 DPS for 30 seconds, no problem.

Now with the patch you can't outheal anything. DPS Paladins are insane.

What did all those people do in Beta. Amuse themselves ???

Good question, I ask myself the same question everytime Blizzard comes out with a patch for WoW.  It seems that every patch they OP 1 class and NERF another. Im curious as to what will happen with the expansion since they are changing so many things.  Alot of Upgrades and Nerfs are inbound..what are they doing in beta indeed.

Which games got you started role-playing? Was it a video game first or pen and paper/ table top? Do you still play them today? I'll start (this is just for curiosity's sake).

Video Games came first for me:

Final Fantasy (for NES) or Dragon Warrior (for NES)

The first pen and paper game I played was Shadowrun 2nd Edition but I became a big Vampire: The Masquerade Fan.

I have ROMs for all of the NES games, but I haven't played them in a while and I gave up on pen & paper games a while ago.

I played Atari games, nintendo, gameboy things like that...what got me really hooked in gamming was Everquest: Ruins of Kunark. That was the most fun I had ever had in a gamer ever..used to stay up 24 hours straight to play.

Hey Everyone,

There are a few MMORPGS that are available to us gamers right now.  Im going to list a poll and see which on you guys feel will win the tug for gamers.  Now all of these games are fun in their own aspects. And please comment on why you feel the game you chose is something that interests you. I just want to get an idea of what most of you are thinking in regards to the current MMO market.

*I myself am looking forward to Aion and am currently playing Warhammer.

yes.. BC killed  WOW..   WOW went from 7M subscribers to 10.7M subscribers
I bet Blizzard hopes Wrath will kill WOW in the same way.

You mean they went from 7M to 10.7M in Gold Farmers..........There is no way this game has grown. They have not put one new server in the game in over a year and half. There are plenty of servers with low pop all the time. You know how many people that play this game two box these days and have multiple accounts. This game may get new accounts but its people that already have an account. This game has lost customers and is not growing in any way.

like the guy with 36 accounts. lol

OK, so starting off, I play a High Elf Archmage. I'm geared for healing and specced what little spec I have for healing. This is what I focus on in Scenarios.

 

Before todays patch it wasn't a big deal. I would do about 70-80k per scenario in t2 and get about 2 or 3k less than respective top damage dealer, thats fine.

But since todays patch, and I will put it into perspective for you, healing in a scenario is a waste of my time.

 

I just did a mourkain temple scenario where I had 87k Healing and about 3k damage. This was the top healing by either side by far. I received approximately 7300xp at the end (we won).

When I sorted by damage done I saw a bright wizard who was at the top, on me team, who I had been keeping alive. He did approximately 40,000 Damage and received 17000 xp at the end.

 

That's 10000 more xp than I got. That's over another scenarios worth. What is with that? Why should I even heal you tools when you get all of the xp and renown? Does this seem fair to anyone? Anyone at all?

I have played alot of Tier 2 scenarios, and I have never seen anyone ever get over 9k exp in 1 map. Anychance you can post this screen shot showing that gain?  Only reason I want proof...is because I have seen a BW do 66,000 damage in a Mourkin Temple, and we won and he only got 7300.  Maybe you saw an extra 0 by accident?

*edit* Also I just want to state that in my experiance playing scenarios and PQ's the healers usually get more exp then me..I think you get more based on the number of kills that you have vs deaths.  So if your in the heat of combat and alot of enemies die around you, then your going to get more of a gain.

It's a game about team effort. Stop your goddamn whining people. You want a Bright Wizard with the armor and hitpoints of a Ironbreaker. Or your Shadow Warrior with the DPS of a BW and the HPs and armor of a IB. You all make me sick.

Go play WoW for instant solo pvp gratification.

Sorry, I have to laugh when people who are level 14 think they know how a class plays in tier 4. Come back and tell me things are ok when a sorcerer kills in less time it takes for you to shoot your 3 second festering arrow (you probably dont know that festering arrow is your highest dmg attack because you are only level 14). FYI get a little more experience with a class before you start telling other people L2P.

 

yes sorcerer kills faster then a SW but they don't have a skill that  gives them 50% chance to crit and get +100% damage to that attack and they charge that up even before there 1st attack by using there aoe, if there smart so before saying some one needs more xp in somthing you might want to get more as well

O so you are in tier 4? You see sw at the top of the damage over sorcerers/bws all the time right? Please dont make me laugh.... It doesnt happen so stop trying to act like our skills put us on par with them because you obviously dont know wtf you are talking about.
 

For a big mouth I dont see you in tier 4 either, im sorry are you 40 yet? Even if you are it doesnt matter. BW's and Sorcerers are meant to do heavy damage if you havent noticed. SW arent meant to out damage them, because we are meant as situational attackers...we can change our stance at a whim and we are more versatile thats what makes us dangerous.  You my friends are a level 40 liar or your just plane stupid when it comes to knowing your class.
 

Edit: im done with replying to this jerk.

I have an idea?  How about you post something that helps, or you dont post at all?  I can comment on whatever I want...last time I checked this was a forum and were allowed to do that?  If I am playing my SW at 14 and know exactly how to play my class then im just a good player, why do you have to comment on how the class plays in tier 4?  Since when did the OP mention that we were discussing tier 4?  I beleive he was discussing tier 2?  And even if I am wrong its just my experiance why do you have to be so damn negative?  Anyway, I have to laugh when people that think they are better because they are higher level degrade other players.  I have played in open rvr as a 14 and have killed a 22 sorcerer before...what are you going to say? that player sucked now? All I read here is *cry cry cry cry* please nerf these classes, and power up MY CLASS because I suck *cry cry cry*, you my friend need to take your "l2p" wow attitude out of WAR.

First off my SW is not in his 20's hes only 14, but the way the class is setup I must say I really really like it.  It gives you the ability to switch between several stances...(and sometimes you need to juggle several times in  a battle).  We dont do enough damage?  Weird...my SW does 400-600 average on everything except on a tank with a shield with my morale power boost.  without any buffs, and just normal damage i do 296-350 damage after ive used an Acid arrow (which i always launch first) to reduce the targets armor. So I dont really see how even at rank 14 I dont do alot of damage. Seeing as in I was in a Scenario and I was fighting against level 21 players and they managed to do less damage then me (in fact im usually in the top 5 for damage dealing and kills). A few things about what you guys are posting

1) I cannot comment on SW past level 14, however with my current experiance and the way the abilities look going forward...I dont think we need a boost in Offense or Defense.

2) As far as surviving against a Witch Elf or a Marauder...well all I can say really...is that you need to play smart pvp people.  Those classes are meant to take out ranged fighters...just like SW are meant to pick off those that are unsuspecting.  My favourite targets are the healers and ranged dps that think that they are safe far away behing their dps/tanks.  LOL I just walk off to the side behind a tree or a stone where im not easily visable and start launching arrows..event
