Out of curiosity, is there some way to check geneal server populations somewhere?
Thankfully my main is only level 20, but I'm beginning to see a slowdown in finding groups to quest/PQ/RvR with. I'd like to see which servers are at what population levels.
Ugh, Vent is the bane of my existence. I never understand the voice chatting over a game. C'mon now...
It's such an expectation now that you're nearly left out if you don't have it (or choose not to use it). People don't realize you can get the same, or better, coordination without it.
I come from a background of Guild Wars primarily (with some WoW splashed in there). The entire premise of GW was fast-paced GvG with heavy coordination. Our guild never used any voice comm while doing PVP and PVE encounters. Our members just knew eachother well enough and knew eachother's playstyles that we could, for lack of a better word, "intuit" the movements.
We did really good, though, being a casual guild, we didn't have time to devote to being top of the ladder.
Vent is a crutch that too many handicapped people lean on in games.
I hope they improve their key/registration management. They should take a lesson from Guild Wars in terms of the Right Way to do it. The system they've integrated into the game client is really nice. Even registering my account and preorder key was a pain in the butt. I'm crossing my fingers that everything has been done right and I can play tomorrow in Open Beta.
Out of all that was posted, the one thing that stuck out to me is that it appears they lowered the cooldown of the WE stealthing ability. That is what "Shadow Prowler" is, isn't it?? I've already been anxious to try out WE, so I'll have to see if this is a welcome change. Woo!
I, too, sent you a PM. Very good idea, I hope it pulls through to launch!
