  • The "Jumper" is using the colision detection of the building to "slide" while straffing. You can not do that in the open. You can also not tell if the "Jumper" is using sprint while testing or not.

    WAR was specifically designed to try to get away from grinding mobs to level. Of course, no matter what you kill you could call it a grind if you are doing something repetitive that you DO NOT enjoy, but if you do enjoy what you're doing and gain xp doing it, I don't think it CAN be a grind.

    You say quests are the only way to gain xp? I don't see how this is possible when you can go from 1-40 without doing a single quest. Just kill other players to level.

    PQs give xp

    Tome of Knowledge stuff gives xp

    Exploring gives xp

    Personal quests give xp

    Scenarios (BGs) give xp

    Open world RvR gives xp

    It seems to me there isn't much in the entire game that does not gain a player xp. I think you would find it very hard NOT to level up in WAR.I mean, just walking around unlocks TOK stuff which will gain you xp.

     

    Yes, everything gives XP, but only quests give a good amount. I gained level 5 by doing the first PQ 10 times, that took more than an hour, then I do 3 quests in 10 minutes and gain another level. Grinding quest and grinding mobs is the same thing but I don't like grinding quests.

    As for items not mattering then what do I do things for? Renown and reputation don't give a nice DING! feeling, you barely even notice it when you gain some.

    What drew me to this game was how they advertised it as a game that makes you feel like you have a purpose. I want to feel like I'm accomplishing something when I'm doing a PQ, a scenario or just killing mobs for no reason. I know I'm part of the war effort and I need to contribute but I have yet to feel like it, I'm not seeing my accomplishments impacting the world.

     

    Edit: Oh, and I forgot a big one. Character Customization, where is it? I can't choose which stats to raise or anything, the only thing to do when you level up is to buy your next skill. I never understood why a game would show you stats but make you unable to alter them aside from items.

    
     

     Another tester who got to lvl 5 and didnt like what he saw.  You have plenty of chances to change your stats, you just havent seen them yet. Tactics, Talismans, Potions, Renown skills, and the choices in the accessory slots.

     You didn't see the effect of your PQ on the game world because there were 368541365423864 new players on both sides doing the same PQs in the same Tier. Look at the slide bar above your map that shows zone control. RvR, Scenarios, BOs are not the only things that affect that slide, PQs do as well. Lock a zone and get the BUFF, or help raise Altdorf's /Inevitable city lvl by doing PQs there for a Side wide buff.

    Grind mobs, its actually pretty fun. You will unlock tactics, XP, titles from grinding mobs in the game.

    Tier 4 can be discussed with the NDA lift, just not elder Tier 4 testing. Warpstone server is not an elder server and only allows templated Tier 4 characters atm. So it's false to say you can't talk about Tier 4. I'll just say it's great atm. I only really answer specific questions when I'm not so tired lol and I don't like writing reviews.

    
     

    Warpstone now falls under the Elder Test servers.
