WAR (Warhammer Online)

I know it's still early days but how do people feel about this? On my particular server destruction seem to outnumber order 2:1.

This poses quite a problem as we literally don't own an obejective or keep it tier 1+2! We can't even purchase renown gear. Sieging is pointless as we seem to get steamrolled by huge numbers of destruction. Are mythic going to employ any measures to counter this? Are servers limited to a certain ratio?

Would like to hear other peoples thoughts on this.

Well then we're all thankful you could shed some light on it and answer, instead of add a snarky line that does no one any good..

Just as in DAOC, there will be the same side imbalance issues.

The scenarios are somewhat balanced, but outside of that, you're hosed.

sorry i'll reword it for the sensitive types like you.
 

Please look back a couple pages and see if you can find an answer to your post before starting a new one.

Well, I'd like some answers on this as well, This game's great but it's kinda disheartening seeing destruction plowing through all the objectives and keeps without much resistance. Might be time to roll a marauder :P

if  competeing with 5 million other destructions, running around in a huge zerg so that you get 1 hit in on a player before your 20 friends kill him for you sounds like fun... then go ahead.

I prefer the challenge, and being the underdog.... Skill trumps numbers, just like in Daoc

If only that were true...

Tell you what, lets play a game of chess. I'll start with the normal 16 pieces, and you start with only your King. Since I suck at chess, I guess I'll lose since skill trumps numbers right? ;)

Your mistake here is thinking everyone thinks like you.

Sadly, there are a large number of players in the MMO Community who DO think it's fun to run around and zerg everyone.  For them, the goal is simply to be on the 'winning side'.
They don't care about the game because they don't intend to stay anyway.
They simply want to say "I was there at the beginning and we pwned." - It's all about e-peen.

These players have just moved to here from AoC and before that they were in PotBS.
Not that I am entirely blaming the players mind you - the developers are responsible for the ruleset.

Oh BTW, you know who Isildur is? Right?  You have read "the next big failure" quote?

Skill is a factor but 50 destruction against 30 order, you're gonna get owned every time.

I don't care about being on the winning side, the comment about rolling a marauder was in jest. So don't get so quick with the e-peen crap. I would much prefer competitive seiges rather than getting steamrolled every time. It is just no fun to get constantly griefed and ganked because your faction has half the population.

I don't think order on my server has even one keep or objective. We have tried many many times to reclaim our keeps but within 20 minutes, destruction incoming with an army 5 times the size of ours.
