Ya when they took out the Empire tank they screwed order. Nobody wants to play our tanks. One looks like a girl and the other is a midget.

 

Destro rolls with 50% tanks usually and frankly they just roll us because of it.

On my server it seems as if Order rules the scenarios but Destro rules the contested zones. 

-Currently Looking forward to SGW and Fallen Earth. If they suck then I give up...

in the wind, so to speak

the one that 'looks like a girl' is probably the best tank in the game, swordmasters are an awesome class. not sure why more people don't play them i think people are just tired of being elves and dwarves.

I play Bright Wiz on Order. So far a awesome class - but it really feels like i rolled the fotm. There is aLOT of BW`s. Sometimes i think ppl rolled BW`s for same reason that i did: was so tired of playing a Mage in WOW, beeing nothing but a second rank magician who summons water and food and do crappy dps.

I havent really find any melee class on Order i really like. Maruaders ( i have a rank 8 alt) seems incredible fun on the other hand. Destro`s tanks and melee classes just seems to fit the role better -both visually and mastery wise. The scenario win/loose is something like 7-8 wins for each 10 looses. But honestly it seems like the typical reason why u loose is because the team is beeing out lvl`ed. In R vs R its another thing though. Order simply cant muster the numbers to launch a decent offense or defense. Destruction  dominates.

Have been playing for 4 days or so. I must admit im still not sure what advantges the winning teams are getting. Do they open up better vendors and suchs?

Order rarely controls anything in open RVR, on Drifting Castle I have NEVER seen a single keep go Order since the Headstart began. Ever.

When we do attempt to take keeps or control points we are either completely and totally outnumbered, or only outnumbered a little bit in which case we will still have 1 tank to their 8 or 9 and this leads to having to beat on their troops for about 3 times as long as it takes for them to beat on ours.

One time I lead 15 people averaging lvl 15 into Ostland in order to take a Keep, there were no Destruction there at all. We got into the Keep easily, got past all the guards easily, but the Keep Lord would ust go around one shotting us, we had 2 tanks one 14, one 17, and they would both die so quickly from the 4 champs and one Hero that the healers couldnt keep them alive.

I am sorry but right now I see no reason to participate in any sort of open RvR as my Order character, and honestly Scenarios suffer from the lack of tanks as well. I would say that at least 50% of players who would play as a Tank do not want to be a Dwarf or an Elf, we need our KotBS back...


 

We do not have this issue on my server: Badlands US core. In fact the order side was spanking us to begin with and now its starting to even out. If you do not like your server, then you can always reroll to a new one, or you can form a destruction guild and work together (in larger numbers).

Cheers!


 

Yep...this is my mains server....we shit all over destruction here. So come on over :)

Phoenix Throne, I lost every tier 2 scenario I joined yesterday as Destruction.  Also, Order held all tier 2 keeps and objectives later that day (say after 2pm CST until ).  To say Destruction wins all of the time to me just sounds like whinning. 


 

Phoenix is known to have shitty destruction players and godly order....i would say destruction owns about 80% of the servers. maybe 90

 Come to Ostergard. Every time I'm doing the "lakes", there's barely one Destruction to be seen, and usually he's running. :)

Order just plain needs it's human tank.  The "human" race is generally the most played in any MMO.  Take a class from one of the most played races and you're gonna have an issue.

On Eu servers last time I checked pretty much all the servers had a higher destruction population. On our server we are getting absolutely annihilated.


 

I think if people understood the possible context they might be able to except light elves.

It seems their clothing is inspired by Ancient Egyptian or even Sumerian clothing.

You can't look at it in the context of contemporary clothes.

God, it's like people have never opened a book!

In any case I've rolled a light elf tank as I like the look of them and the two handed sword fighting style.

The price for freedom is eternal vigilance

It is clearly not just a problem of server choice.

Personally I feel that GOA made too many servers in EU, which is good for Destruction, but bad for Order.

As most of the Destruction realms are full or near full, many of the Order realms stay low or medium.

They should have released less servers and force some of the Destruction to roll Order ...

They did this to some extent, but eventually gave in ( by adding more servers ) and this killing Order.

On our server ( Finuval Plains ) we generally have a Med-High ( Order ) to High-Full ( Destruction ) server, so it is not that bad with us, but there are servers who have it alot worse.
