So what is T2/T3?

How do RvR work? How does PvE work?

[MR_Candyman]

Haven't read much of this thread. I have been playing it since release (though I'm not THAT high level yet as it's only been ~2 hours a night) and I must say that I REALLY like this game. The only problem I have had so far is the item box doesn't close when you loot the items for me. Not a big deal, but still a tad annoying.

So what is T2/T3?

How do RvR work? How does PvE work?

The zones are divided into 4 tiers you can go into depending on Rank (level), Tier 1, 2, 3, and 4. This will change the scenarios, gear, etc. They're basically just zones.

RvR works in that you can flag yourself for RvR at any time, anywhere, but certain zones are RvR only - these zones have things such as keeps that you can take, RvR quests, etc. It's pretty cool. You also have scenarios you can participate in, they are particular to each "tier" and therefor levels. If you join a scenario that's too low-level, you'll be turned into a chicken when you join and all you can do is peck that causes 1 damage. So you tend to stick to scenarios in your tier.

The quests are like WoW, there are PvE quests but they seem a lot less .. boring. Also, Public Quests are always happening and always take a lot of people to do, these are scattered around the world in "chapters" and give you influence. Influence can be accumulated to get rewards, and after the PQ is over, if you had a lot of inf in that instance of it, you get a chance to roll for loot.

That's a very dumbed down version of it..try it, it's amazing, I assure you that there will be no regrets if you like PvPing and MMOs in general!

This game just gets better :)

I LOVE IT :)

My brother got this a couple days ago. After having a few problems with the disk not creating an .exe file (yeah...I know...happened with a lot of AU/NZ disks) we got it all sorted. He loves it and I've yet to play it...might use his account while he's away.

Do it (Y)

Anyone get lots of stuttering when playing? I am playing it on:

T7500

3GB

8400M GS

Vista

Although the card is not the best, it meets recommended requirements. I am running on Fastest Framerate, and at 1280x800, and getting LOTS of computer lag, 100% sure it's not server. Also, what's up with spell animations? If you get interrupted/pushback, it looks stupid..hope they fix it.

I just installed XP and downloading the retail CDs this time around instead of the beta client. They helped a few people with the lag, and I am willing to try anything.

No stutter problems here.

Vista x64 Ultimate

C2D E7200

Radeon HD4850

4GB DDR2-800

All maxed, 1680x1050, 16x AF, 24x FSAA

Won't stutter even during heavy raiding, check your system :/

Ya, just reformatted and installed XP. Hopefully CDs will be ready when I get home. 8400 is a decent enough card to play this game without lag, no matter what people say, especially since I am running it on Fastest Framerate

What Nvidia Driver version are you using? I had started playing the game with 175.19 which were the last official drivers Nvidia has released and had constant crashes.

I installed the beta 177.92 and had completely smooth sailing, so you might want to give them a go.

[Emorex]

Tried 177.92 as well as 177.98. I think I am going to cancel for now, and going to build a computer when I go back home in December. Will play something else for now. Thanks for the help

[Sanvean]

Finally hit level 20 tonight, first thing I did, was go get my mount...lol! ( 15 gold)

The Black Orc Helms are getting so cool, as I level. I have one that looks like a german WWII field helm and my newest one encloses almost all of the face.

If I remember I'll post some pics...

[Viper217]

Just hit 20 on my Disciple of Khaine and I am loving the melee healer/support role. My guilds been pretty active with keep sieges and thats prob my favorite part of the game so far, getting everyone online that we can and rolling up to a keep over 50 people strong (with some members of our alliance guild), setting the siege equipment up, and taking a keep. This weekend we're moving up to the tier 3 keeps, which have an extra wall around them and much stronger defenses, so should be a blast!

[obiwong]

not feeling DoK at all

do they get a lot better at higher levels?

they're supposed to be a utility class but i think their healing and DPS just isn't up to par for it. or i'm just sucking lol

it's like a melee version of WoW's shadow priest but worse =\

Use this chart

Damage

DoK>Shaman>Zealot

Healing

Zealot>Shaman>DoK

This is how it should fall if they are playing the best they can.

Order its

Damage

WP>AM>RP

Healing

RP>AM>WP

See how it works?

Just want to ask those who have played this game:

I'm planning to buy it with some friends. Most likely we'll be on the same side of war (chaos or order), but different races. My question is whether it's possible to meet up together even though I'm an Elf, another is a dwarf, etc? In WoW, technically you can't (i think) because the place is so far apart that it'll take ages to quest together

the different races have different starting areas. Of course you should be able to walk to the other starting area. In wow you can do the same, with risk of course but you can.

[Sanvean]

You can go to Flightmasters in the warcamps, buy a ride and meet up a designated realm camp.

[:: Lyon ::]

Ah..nice..thanks for both info. There is no reason not to buy this and choose our own races and classes then :D

[Spookie]

To be fair they are the hardest class in the game imo. If they are played well they are excellent though.

[Dashel]

You can also easily queue from anywhere if grouped.

I bailed after the head start access ended as the trend is becoming all to clear for me. The problem with Camelot and all realm based games is population disparity and apparently WAR gave this point little to no consideration. I'm tired of the underdog aspect of world pvp so if I'm going to be stuck in a BG anyway I'd stick with WoW and Conan does siege soooo much better there really isn't anything worthwhile here for me.

Queue times have been horrendous once you get out of the n00b area as well and I hate that they limit what maps are available to each lvl range. I really liked the dwarf/human start BGs but the new ones are as crappy as the elf starter one.

[HawkMan]

Battlegrounds are allways equal though. wich is why the destruction guys have much longer queues, but they're all 14 year olds with ADD anyway so :p

[gigapixels Veteran]

Well I just picked this up and hopefully by the end of the first month I'll know whether or not I'm going to stick with it.

Who wants me on their server? :p

Really? Our T3 scenarios pop like they are being fired out of a minigun for destruction. I'm having pops the moment I queue! Should have rolled on a more popular server. :s

Though I would like to see a couple of T1 instance avl to play at 40. Of course I'd like to see them on a map cycle, christ there is already 9+ when you get in to T4!

[gigapixels Veteran]

So is anybody else dealing with horrendous lag? I seem to be able to play for about five minutes before I lag out and am unable to do anything but run around. If I'm lucky it's working fine and dandy again within 30 seconds to a minute, but it usually just sits like that until I forcefully quit the game and log back in.

I know it's not my internet connection as everything else runs at perfectly acceptable speeds, including WoW.
