WAR (Warhammer Online)

Is it just me or does anyone else think this Heavy metal event is a complete waste of time. Lets face it its pretty much only one scenario and despite many many hours queing ive managed to get in once and that is on a medium pop server at peak play time which i had to wait 3 hours to get it. This comepletely makes a mockery of mythic saying each task would take less than an hour to complete - they just forgot to tell us that it would take considerably longer to actually get in.

In my opinion the whole concept is comepletely flawed in that alot of the tasks require you to comeple a number of taks in said scenario however anyone who has taken part in any scanerio will know how hard it is to  sort a pug into any semblance of order. Throw into this mix you have people all trying to get different taks done as soon as you get in they all fek off all over so  it defeats the purpose of trying to get them to complete the goals to win the scenario in the first place.

Piss poor attempt in my mind

Mythic continues to amaze me in how horribly they do not understand their players.  As soon as I read how the event works I thought to myself "Oh, this is never going to work." 

Mythic needs to get their heads out of their asses and fix the damn game. 

*sigh*  Such potential WAR has... too bad the developers are blind.

 Really enjoyed it. Only took a few minutes of queuing for Reikland Factory to get in it. It's a great scenario as well, so when I've not been doing oRvR I've been queueing exclusively for RF.

Actually this is exactly what I like about this event the most - tasks within a scenario. For starters everybody is trying to win and AT THE SAME TIME complete those goals - I find it very fun and challenging.

Lets face it, those scenarios do become monotonous with time... after a certain get-to-know period the winning strategies become known and everything becomes quite stale, almost ritualistic. A very very good solution is to add temporal minor tasks to them. This makes for some great variety and ultimately fun.

I particularly like the "kill 10 chickens in the Reikland's" - maybe they could make this one of the tasks that rotate in and out of the scenario? One day its "kill 10 chickens" and the other "visit all objectives". If you manage to complete the quest your team gets 10 VPS... This would make those scenarios shine!

And a week from now.. t1 will be BG vs KBS.

I agree that Mythic does not understand their player base very well.  But obviously Mythic was expecting A LOT bigger player base when war was launched, so it is kind of a mix bag how they go about their actions.

Dude, you have NO idea what you are talking about.  I mean seriously, you are SO far off that you just made a fool of yourself to all the people that actually play WoW. 

Enjoy hurting your own reputation, if you had any to begin with.

I agree with that.  I actually enjoy WAR more than any other current MMO on the market but the lack of people make it boring.

I really liked the live event.It took me about 3 hours to do and im not some hard core gamer, i found  it very simple.The cloak you get is sweet.
