[Official] Warhammer Online

[S00N3R FR3AK]

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

Ostermark-order its a RP server but its pretty nice not to strict. My name is Karakgrom or you can message Paulus to get a guild invite. 80+ memebers atm.

[Dashel]

For the record my servers population is max for Chaos and med turned low for Order. If you aren't playing Destruction you are truly screwed, the mythos says all you need to know about how this game will play out.

[obiwong]

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

lol i knew it!!

all the ally from WoW went to play dest side on WAR :laugh:

i figured it out after watching the way they were playing BGs and saying "guys, lets just give up"

[HawkMan]

Destro in the early days seemed to allways win battlegrounds. but now I've won almost all theones I?ve particicpated in, maybe that's just because I started kicking ass with my Withc Hunter and I'm winning the game for everyone:pp

anyway today has been real bad for me, I keep getting dropped from the game to the login screen(where I have to accept thelicense AGAIN, for the 100000th time). iover and over I get dropped form the server and it's not my connection since everything else I have is just fine and my lag meters and such are fine and irc is workgin fine no disconects to any ofthe servers.

and the drops sort of break the GUI. after I drop once, once I loot corpeses the loot box don't go away, even thogh I have looted it, mnor annoyance. the fact that I keep droppign in the middle of PQ's is more annoying as I loose all the inf and points I earned before the drop when I rejoin andthus I allways loose the loot roll. and the drop with 10 more order point to go before we owned destroy on a BG was really annoying.

This game needs better handling of drops, and it needs better connection handling, The drop I'm havign today appear to be relatively inor self correcting communication problems, somewhere near the server since it's not affecting me, and it's not something that should cause me to drop anyway, it should just cause a temporary lag spike.

oh well at least the KArak Eight PEaks servr clone seems to have solved the server queues for the order side, Destro is still allways full, but again that's all the 14year olds from WoW.

[Spookie]

but again that's all the 14year olds from WoW.

Thank you captn' stereotype.

[Mrcookjr]

Thank you captn' stereotype.

Methinks he's right.

[Stinky Newb]

Methinks he's right.

You are right and Hawkman is right. Sadly but true, immature 12 year olds occupy every server destruction side.

The good players who were HORDE and/OR alliance now roll Order because they know it's the right way to go.

[Lexcyn]

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.

Yes. I stopped playing because I can't stand the lag. One second I am doing a Public Quest, next thing you know its OVER and I've died and back at the town. I also know it's not my connection because WoW works fine and so does everything else.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Well at least it's not just me. It's just weird how I don't see very many people complaining about it.

Hopefully they fix it soon.

I'm trying different servers too to see if that's the problem.

[Dev Null Zen]

Ostermark-order its a RP server but its pretty nice not to strict. My name is Karakgrom or you can message Paulus to get a guild invite. 80+ memebers atm.

Right on. I am in a Druchii RP guild on that server.

You are right and Hawkman is right. Sadly but true, immature 12 year olds occupy every server destruction side.

Baseless generalizations like this are just terrible. Youngest person in my guild is 22. The absolute easiest way to make sure that you deal with fewer kids and general retardation, is play on an RP server. Just the act of using the creativity to name their character scares most of them away.

No kidding. Especially in this game, where the classes are all unique by some small detail. A Witch Elf is actually pretty fun to play, but you HAVE to be a female dark elf in order to play one.

I also like being a Chosen over an Ironbreaker or Swordmaster, just from the small differences in play style.

And I'm definitely not an immature 12-year-old kid ;)

[terrytibbs]

the best game ever created

well we never said all of them where, just the huge majority.

that chosen thing is also one of the reasons many roll destro and why order lacks tanks. Tank players dont wanna be a pointy eared daisy eater or a stumpy dorf, and Order had it's empire tak cut from the release game to balance the cut of a Destroy class that was broken or something. and they douln't cut another dorf class (too few) and for some reason they though peopel would rather have all the elf classes than Knight of the Burning Sun or whatever the class was called.

Lukily most of destro sucks and we kick their asses even without tanks :p

[Spookie]

well we never said all of them where, just the huge majority.

Our destruction side consists of ex-DAoC players (so they would well be over 12 by now) and professional e-sports guilds like nihilum.

yeah WoW PVE is hard

[gigapixels Veteran]

Well I'm not sure about you guys, but the lag has greatly improved over the last 24 hours. I was able to play a good few hours both last night and today without a single problem. There was a tiny bit of lag here and there, but no more than a second, and definitely not where I could run around but not interact with anything.

Either the load is decreasing or they're working on their servers. I'm very glad either way :laugh:

EDIT: It seems my happiness was short-lived. I tried playing a couple of hours ago and again just now, both times I lagged out within 15 minutes of logging on.

Oh well, hopefully they'll have these issues fixed soon :/

[Emorex]

I have given up on the game until I go back home; I will be building a new computer then that should be able to handle this game easily.....I hope. :/

[Spookie]

Yeah, I really couldn't give a toss how hard WoW PvE is, that wasn't my point. Please keep your grudges against them to the WoW thread.

[obiwong]

please tell me that the PvP gets better

i've only played 2 of the battlegrounds, the one with the exploding flags and capture the flag

no one has any idea how to play these

everyone just stands around doing nothing

order side just stands at the flag until they get overrun, they don't watch the flag, they just keep falling back and falling back till they lose

oh dest side i was playing capture the flag, when the other team took our flag no one chased after him

no one from my team went over to even make any attempt to get the flag at all

they just stood there at our flag or in the middle fighting

[HawkMan]

The problem with the scenarios is that there is no explanation of how to play them. you have to hover over theright graphic to get a description.

anyway the Empire vs Chaos on Tier 1 scenario is good, it's a territories thing though. easy to understand and it's . usually a good match too, too bad I cna't play it anymore. the T2 scenarion in Troll Country/Osterlan sucks in comparison, it's a capture the flag with a twist, of course you're never epxlained what to do. Something they could have done on the loading screen or during the countdown. and the gametype just sucks, and it doesn't really work very well since Destro has a million tanks and Order has two.

[Kurse]

Uh Artifact entertainment made horizons not mythic. Mythic made Daoc and ultima online two of the most successful pvp mmo's to date.

WoW was released on nov 23rd 2004. In almost 4 years we have gotten 1 expansion, a complete total of 4 battle grounds (if you consider eots a bg) and a horrible **** fest called the arena.

The rest of WoW revolves around raiding and pveing and if you play now you either spend all your free time raiding with your guild or you sit in a group for hours while you try to find the one warrior/paladin/druid who will tank your instance for you.

And yet in those 4 years WoW still has not been able to balance out its classes (If you look at 2v2 and 3v3 the most popular arena brackets).

Unless you play a warrior/rogue/druid you might as well not even bother PvPing.

Mythic had nothing to do with Ultima Online. Ultima Online was done by Origin.

[Sethos]

I keep hitting the exact same wall, every damn time!

Whenever I hit Tier 2 battlegrounds, wait times shoot up by around 1200% and the Win / Lose rate goes from about 60:40 to 0:100.

No matter how much I keep at it, what time of day, how many guilds I join Tier 2 always seems to slow the game to a halt for me. I now tried on several servers and characters to find the optimum server, always the same. Tried both side of the pond, Order and Destruction but the wait time is still there and the "Other side" always rolls us down.

Either I need to find a server with close to no wait time like Tier 1 or I'm giving up on this game. I can't be arsed to do quests all the way through this game and most of the Open RvR areas are dead most of the day.

So I need some tips on an extremely active server with some proper wait times, I hate waiting 20 Minutes to join a damn BG and then just lose it, I could live with the losing if the wait time was less than 5 minutes.

[obiwong]

I could live with the losing if the wait time was less than 5 minutes.

lol

played WoW?

trust me, the shorter wait time doesn't ease the pain =P

[Sethos]

lol

I have, for 3 years. And yes it does, 1-5 Minute wait then losing > 20-30 Minute wait and then losing.
