WAR (Warhammer Online)

Well, I just noticed that this game reminds me of those games, why.....? Well because you are sitting in the middle of Altdorf, and all you do all day is scenarios, like in halo 3 or Call of Duty 4, you queue up a game in scenarios and play that one, and you do it over and over and over again. And grind levels like mad. And then yeah, the MMORPG part, the crafting and the open world RvR with your guild and stuff. But all in all, the main grind is like halo 3 queuing up scenarios all day long.

IT'S FUN!!! But there's something wrong with this game, I just can't figure out what it is.

Can you guys elaborate?

What makes an MMO really a classic MMO is very thin in WAR. This is what is missing. Basically, a world.

Simple. You are playing it wrong. Get out...explore....do quests, do PQs, travel to other allies' lands and do same, get into some open RvR, do some crafting, etc.....LOTS to do and not "grind".

I've had no trouble finding the world.  But then again I find the pve story that you're basically following through the chapters to be engaging and well thought out. 

If you're not interested in the story that goes along with the quests, or with exploring to find the difficult pq's, lairs, etc. then yeah you won't find the world in this game.

Imagine that, a multiplayer game where you fight against other players being similar to a multiplayer game where you fight against other players.

Sitting in the middle of Altdorf ??????  I have found myself not sitting still anywhere- theres always something to do or somewhere to go--- There are to many things to do while waiting on scenarios and my average wait time is less than 5 minutes even at off peak times on a med pop server, so i find myslef trying to squeeze in other stuff in between the scenarios.

The only thing i feel like im grinding is Rekown exp but then the only way you get it is from pvp- so it just makes sense to do scenarios to get it-----------------but i have yet to run into this level grind your speaking of. There plenty of quests to keep you exp bar moving-- no need to grind--- if your grinding your doing it by choice-- or you dont know how to play this game

You contradict yourself in your own post-- you say all there is ,is scenarios-- oh yea and the mmo part,crafting,open world rvr

This is primarily a RVR game- so why would you be disaapointed when you do a lot of rvr... your post made no sense--- What grind ?????????????

huh of course if only q for scenario it will get boring .

Even if im not a pve fan i still do influence grind to pimp myself in scenario with blue reward . If you only PvP you gonna get owned by the high lvl in a tier with PvE gear .

1.  You can't Queue into a Scenario from the city...if your sitting in the city doing scenarios why don't you go to where your party member is and do something else?

2. Its your choice to do Scenarios..some people grind scenarios some people open rvr and some people pve...thsoe that are smart doing a bit of everything.

3. Did I mention that was your choice to play that way so its your own fault?  Some people are so used to being held by the hand and lead everywhere but a game that gives you a choice to be lead, to do whatever you want, or just grind seems to confuse the masses.  Its entertaining to say the least.  WAR is built as progression..they progress you train you prepare you with each Tier for thel ast Tier.  Tier 1 gives you the basics for objective points, lairs, pq's etc Tier 2 gives you the basics, keeps, and a starter dungeon.  Tier 3 gives you basics, more keeps, bigger rvr lakes, and the start of the public dungeons.   Tier 4 gives you basics, Fortresses, HUGE RvR lakes, public dungeons, and a chance to City Siege if you can use all you've learned and lock down 2 fortresses and meet several other realm requirements.    All of this helps to raise your city up or down and give you access to even more dungeons, pq's, items, guild stuf and more.  People seem lost on the concept that the world might actually be affected.

4.  There's no reason to grind levels ...rushing to End Game nets you nothing infact it puts you pretty far behind since you've not participated in any of the realm progression with the way your playing.

5.  try diong something other than sitting on your ass in the city and actually go out and explore.  I've already made multiple tome unlocks and netted some pretty nice Gear set peices from doing something all sorts of things.

Sounds like you just got a glimpse of the end game (keep after keep after keep) just like I did in beta. I'm just glad I didn't fork over my cash besides the $5 for reservation.
