out of my head, a guild need to be at least level 14. Cost to keep the keep for 24 hours is 150 gold.

Benefits? More exp gain for the guild I heard, I have no clue other than that and the one listed by someone earlier.

I also tested on two of my laptops, they are

Core 2 dual 2.0 2GB ram 512mb 7700Go with xp

Core 2 dual 2.6 4GB ram 9300 with vista

my desktop

Quad 2.6 4GB ram 512 8800GT with vista as I stated before.

They all have hicc-ups and slowdowns. The problems of CTD are getting better from beta.

CTD from none to last closed beta once  1 - 1 1/2 hours -> launch once every 2 hours -> now once a day

Oh, and I tried everything from graphic card 1.67 -> lastest version 1.78

I honestly dont think is my problem, is more like server problem. The population cap is low enough already and we experience lags from gameplay AND mail (60-90 seconds to open and get the item from the mail is unexceptable imo).

Latest verion of the patch makes scenrios unplayable for me, i got like 60 second frozen time right after I join/get into the scenrios and another 30 seconds or so after it was over. These kind of stuff are even worst than beta. My prediction is this game will share the same fate as AoC, but have more player base only because Warhammer ip.

It is monday again and as I promissed last Thursday, when the fanboisquad was flaming me from right and left because of the xfire numbers I posted, I said I would rather come back this Monday to have another look on the negative trend as the trend would be clearer with another week under the belt.

www.xfire.com/games/who/Warhammer_Online_Age_of_Reckoning/

As you can see WAR is still dropping in popularity and if you compare WAR gamingtime Monday the 13th of Oct to Sep 29th you see there is about a -27% reduction in gamingtime and -35% reduction in gaming population.I don't know about you but I think it could get much worse by the end of the week when free sub start to run out. Lets have a poll so that we can form a consensus on why WAR has such a rapid popularity drop.

 

Where is the "All of the above" pick in the poll?

Been playing since closed beta, and most of the performance bugs are still in. The fun factor (was fun doing RVR in beta) just not therer, dead zone even in a med/med (high/high in prime time )server.

The lag issues are still there, the graphic in this game is not even good and there are lags even playing PvE or hitch in scenrios. (my spec are Quad 2600, 4GB ram, 512 8800 GT).

items are still the same as in the beta, they are even worst than AoC. What do I look forward to after I gain level? I gain level so I can look like all the other people in the same class?

Everything in the same from T1 except the mobs levels and diff scens.

Although this game is not as bad as AoC, comparing Xfire is useless. They try to do some damage control now, good luck Mystics but you are not getting my sub. Other people think mmo get better and better from fixes and patches are just low standards, performance can fix, bugs can fix, but the core of the game cant be fix. What are you gonna do when you hit lv 40? Grind more renown for some RVR armours that looks just like the guy next to you? Or get a keep only knowing the other side can get it back easily? City seige?

And waiting in server queue for ten minutes only to be disconnected is making me sad. ):

I do love the new ToK design and the Magus upgrades though!

Agree, the performance is getting worse (gameplay wise, I do have less Client crash). Some bugs gone but many more bugs in. The guard in town wont attack the mob (no point to run if you pulled too many..etc), the rest of the crafting skills still not in. The graphics still the same (higher settings? I dont think so). Queue for servers and scenrios takes soooo much longer. UI still looks the same ...etc

Some good charges includes ToK design (finally no more 15 clicks to get to something). More armour/weapons drops it seems. The quest rewards got slightly increase (still sucks most of the time).

simple post the worst 3 MMO's THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED and back up why for each one.

rules

....

3. you may not include the following games on your list:

WoW

LOTRO

UO

DAoC

EvE

AC

4. you did not have to play the game you put on your list you just have to have a basic knoledge of the game and why it is so bad.

^----huh? how can you judge something without even playing the game?

Also, whats the point of this thread when we had a 24 pages discussion already

www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/191105

I think OP means AoC is the best OF NOTHING MMO out there.

Since there is a best 5 mmorpgs in other post, may as well pick the worst 5 mmorpgs from your past experience.

Mines are

1) Age of Conan (played for 5 days)

2) Star Wars Galaxy

3) Asheron's Call 2

4) Shadowbane

5) Hellgate: London

 

What's yours?

 

EDIT: We should only post non-free ones, the games must either has a retail box or a sub plan. This will keep the list focus. (Yes, there are a LOT of bad free money/xp grind mmo with cash shops out there)

 

  So AoC is actually the worst MMO on the market huh? Worse than every free MMO, every Korean MMO, Hello Kitty, and every piece of trash that nobody even plays? Your bias is blatant, it is like saying that sony makes the worst electronics in the world, when there are cheap knock offs, poorly made chinese products with no warranty, and other large companies making garbage as well.

   

 

Did you drink the Funcom Kool-Aid? If so, we better get you to a Doctor!

Does it really matters? The Failcom Kool-Aid is prob water anyway. They promise the taste but never deliever.

To Morrigan7 : yes, at least those doesnt cost a penny to play and the game is finish. Those games not even finished but also content way way way less bugs. The only problem is they tend to use Item mall. I honestly dont see the problem with those game, you like grind? Play something else. AoC is grindfest + one shot boring pvp + bugs + client crashes + empty promises +incomplete game + worst crafting system + monthly fee.

OMG BEST CRAFTING SYSTEM EVER!

 

Btw it was probably the worst crafting system I ever used and it had no point to the gameplay because you didn't need anything you crafted.

But but but....Mark said they want to make crafting FUUUUUN !! DIdnt you had fun in crafting?

oh to OP: This reply is pretty positive, if you want honest reply, the crafting system in this game is POS, 2nd to AoC's crafting.

Why do you still play this POS?

Cancel, delete CC info and wait for better game (WAR?)

GM in this game ban for no reason and they dont reply your email, they will however, spam you email AFTER you cancel your sub.

cuz i hope they dont think ppl are stupid enought to pay another 40-50$ for stuff that should of been in there at the start

Why not? Failcom love to take every little money you got. You dont think ppl will pay $40-50? Hey people paid $3.99 for a FREE trial.

Free one will be call patch (or brokepatch or bugpatch in failcom's term), expension will prob cost $30 for other company but you never know how much Failcom will charge.

I can confirm how you turn into a chicken because I've done it several times. I will use Tier 1 as an example to help illustrate the exact and very complicated procedure involved.

Your in Tier 1 and are about to level to 12 and your already in a PvP zone ( this does not include scenarios ). The moment you turn 12, you get a 10 second timer telling you that you have outleveled this Tier and will now be turned into a chicken.

If you do not leave the PvP area within those 10 seconds, you will indeed become a chicken. As a chicken you can not attack or use any abilities what so ever, I don't even think you can sprint. Also, your health drops down to 200 and well, you have just become extremely easy prey to just about anyone.

So, I hope this helps everyone understand the very complicated procedure involved to stop ganking.

 

Yes thats how it goes in a Core RVR server (all beta servers). However, what will happen in Open RVR servers? The moment you flight to lower tier for w/e reason (lets say help a friend kill a PQ boss). You turned into a chicken (since RVR flag always on).

I hope that will fix this problem, one will turn into a chicken (after 10 seconds or so) if they attack/attacked by another player, or something like that. It really sucks to not go back to previous tiers in an Open RVR server just because of this rule.

 

Ok, first of all, PvE in WAR doesn't require higher level assistance, so once again, why would you need to venture back into a previous Tier? I'm not exactly sure how Open RvR ruleset will work, but if it means being a chicken anywhere in a lower level Tier, then so be it. Seriously, PvE isn't completely necessary and if completing the ToK is your entire purpose in WAR, than I feel sorry for you. I don't have anything against explorers and quest freaks, but I can't stress this enough. WAR is about WAR and while PvE plays a role in the overall success of a realm, the main focus of WAR remains to be RvR.

In what line did I mention completing the ToK? If you think this game is only focus in RVR, then I am sorry for you too. PvE plays a huge role in zone capture just like Open RVR does. As does why would I need to venture back into previous tier? I am using it as an example If you actually read the post. People these days post reply and complain, flame, troll, bash for no reason. YES, I feel sorry for you too.

p.s. I dont give a shit what you think, this is an mmorpg, if a mmorpg make ppl cant go back to previous "zones" then there is something wrong with the game.

Just curious as I only made it to tier 3.  When exactly do the Witch Hunters become good?  Never had a problem with them as a Chosen or a Marauder... found they died awfully quickly.

 

You know just as much as the OP knows. People come on forums after preview weekend and think hey I know all about this game!

Him saying warrior priest has better heals then rune priest just proves that. Warriorpriest heals don't even compare to a rune priest.

Engineers are a good class if played correctly. Which is defensive. You have not seen a good engineer yet. I guarantee you.

Ironbreaker's not good in PvP? Are you smoking crack? The way you build grudges is by putting oathfriend on whatever is getting focused then laying down the dps. And trust me you can lay down some dps with grudges. And if they are focusing you, your not gaining as many grudges (5 a hit if they are on you 10 a hit if they are on oathfriend whats the problem again?) But you are doing your job. Tanking.

Brightwizard: Correct. But they go down easy.

Witchunter being the most OP class ever: LMFAO. This class eats through action points like he's got the munchies. If a tank loses to this class they are complete GARBAGE.

Shadow warriors are the best kiting class in the game. They dont have as much burst as BW but have alot more survivability. In armor. In health. In snares roots AND knockbacks? They have a snare, a god damn root, and a shot that sends people flying. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS?
 

White Lion pet is broken right now so I won't comment on them. They are good when pet is being used and isn't being used from what I've seen so far though.

Archmage? LOW solo-ability? My friend 1v5ed on an archmage and they have low solo ability. Ok I'm starting to think you played some other game. Rune priest is the closest you'll get to a classic healer BTW champ not archmage. The mechanic sucking? Your right, dotting up 5 people with instant casts to build up 5 points then casting your biggest heal instantly is a lame mechanic AMIRITE?

THE FUNNIEST OF ALL SO FAR TO ME IS BY FAR THE SWORD MASTER

Especially since I played one way longer then you played this game Preview weekender! (Congrats on getting in btw dude!)

The balance mechanic being worthless. Very funny since all your perfect balance skills are free of cost from action points AMIRITE? Has the most AoE abilities out of any tanks and play their roll as magic tanks if Specced into Aethyric armor. 5% disrupt anyone? You might not know what disrupt is OP since your just a preview weekender. I'll explain! When sorceresses or other magic casters cast spells and it says disrupt. It means you didn't do damage to them. You can also gain disrupt bonus from willpower! All other tanks can rock my world huh? Never lost once to a Black Orc or a chosen. Matter of fact I 2 vs 4ed A black orc a chosen and 2 zealots with my Warrior Priest friend who was on vent with me. Matter of fact I 1vs2ed 2 chosen by myself. Matter of fact I 1vs2ed a squig herder and a shaman. Matter of f-in fact I can tank 10+ people on my in RvR with a decent healer while still dropping people like flys. No I don't get on tanks first like you probably did! O yes with all my defensive abilities in my arsenal I die as easily as a Shadow Warrior. Just a note: I wasn't a retard and used a sword and board to fill my job in as a tank. Yes I wish I could have pulled out my 2hander but I only did when it was possible. AkA stages 1 and 2 of PQs, Soloing. I sword and boarded and tanked 3 heroes in a PQ in Ostland in the bottom left hand corner where you had to fight all the stage 3 bosses at once and kill them in a certain order or die trying. I was able to hold all aggro on 3 heroes and we 3 manned the PQ while we were the appropriate level for it. But sword masters are gimped compared to the other tanks. Yes if you want to defend more roll Ironbreaker I completely agree. Sword masters are magic tanks. Ironbreakers are more of the classic tank and require less skill since they can defend two people at once without breaking a sweat by using oathfriend while swordmasters have to use abilities to drop a persons damage, sap their action points/morale, and increase their parry and switch guard alot more often. I actually hope your message gets through. I will be happy to roll the only swordmaster. Btw what the hell do dark elves not having a tank have to do with this?

Black-Orc. This is a fury warrior and the sword master is the one armed pally when they are mirror classes and have almost the exact same abilities. Btw this isnt a fury warrior. And this isn't WoW. GET F-IN OVER IT. It's not even close to playing like a fury warrior. 
One armed pally: Good one dude your clever. Your team was probably in the high 1300s! Congrats. What an accomplishment for a sped-ed

Shaman: see MY archmage.

Zealot: Correct this is the runepriests mirror! WHOAH THEIR ARE MIRROR CLASSES IN THIS GAME?!?

Chosen: Jeez those auras are such a large area! 30 feet. Woo thats big. Oh yea and tanks don't really live to see the end of fights. Nice comment, who are you kidding and who was your healer? You need to slap him and swap him OUT. You are correct. This will be the most played class. It's gonna be stopped when they figure out they aren't major dps and can't have their 2handers out if they want to actually help. Very good at making people assume they are a good class because of looks. And at lower levels they are pretty good because of the auras. At higher levels (12+) you are right.. they will fizzle out. Especially since their mastery trees SUUUUCK.

You consider Magus an elemental shaman? Wtf? Elemental shamans BLOW SHIT UP. Magus are the most underpowered class in this game. At least because they all think they are casters and don't drop their demons like engineers drop their turrets. I 1v2ed to of them on my "one-armed pally" and one without going below 75% health because they decided their demons weren't necessary. Plus their pets are bugged so how are they better then turrets?

Marauders I agree with everything but the AoE bull. Swordmasters have more AoE then these guys. Their AoE is only a cone effect. By the level 16 a SM has TWO amazing PBAoEs. Thats Point Blank Area of Effect for all of you newbies! Meaning a radius around your character. While a cone is what you are facing. This class is good if the player can stance dance.

Sorc: The overall AoE(There it is again guys!) damage kings.

DoK: Their dps sucks? WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING? Similar to the Warrior priest yes in mechanic. The WP cannot put out as much damage as the DoK I don't care what you say. They can run in with the rest of the melee and actually do their job and support heal the real healers while also keeping themselves up and focus targeting the MDPS and Tanks targets for a nice amount of damage. You definitely dropped the ball on this "review" or w.e you'd like to call it.

Witch Elves: Your right so I'll just move on to the best part of your review.

Your poll. Hilarious AND true. Wow, some truth in this review. Almost everyone will be playing Chosen.

Please get some more experience before you post a review that might ruin the game for someone before they try it out. I have much more experience beta testing then you and I can say you were wrong on most points and probably just saw bad players playing these classes badly. Or maybe you just played them badly.

Classes that need fixing: Warriorpriest and Magus. I'll leave it at that.







 

QFT, OP's post are 80% wrong and too lazy to argue with it lol

So I decided to try this out and found out why I was banned for a week on July 7th with a reason of "No reason was specified."

This was Famine's response to my detailed PM:

octa01 doesn't seem to be banned. What do you mean?

I blinked.  He didn't even bother to read what I had wrote and this is his response after 6 weeks of pming him and emailing support(directions I was given by Famine himself on the official forums).

So make no mistake this is just another way for them to make it look like they care when in fact they just want your requests to go into a blackhole and have you give up.

I am suprise Famine didnt give you a wall of useless text. He usually keep typing and typing, bring you around the world, run laps after laps, in the end with a clear message of "Some kind of bs, I dont care" kinda thing.

Back to topic, the stuff they "try" to do now is a bit too late. Give it up, people are leaving this game no matter what they do now.

Well First of as  a disclaimer I went into the preview weekend expecting an easy to play game based on developer comments as well as post NDA beta info. I was not dissapointed in that aspect. I played 4 order characters to level six and one destruction character to level 11. Given we are still in beta and I only made one character to level 11  I can't  speak for any content after that.

 .......

Stop reading after that. Honestly how many of these so call reviews going on in these 2 days? 50? Whats the point of writing a wall of text when you didnt even get to Tier 2 ? THe so call reviewers only play the game in the beginning, Is like review a movie after watching the first 10 minutes. Ya I think the new batman movie sucks IN THE FIRST 5 minutes...haha does that even valid?

These kind of reviews remind me of AoC reviews. Here are some suggestions for all the "reviewers"

a) Play longer, you cant judge something if you only played 1% of the whole game offer.

b) Go back to whatever you played, no one want trolls.

c) This is not a PvE focus game, go back to your PvE easy mode game.

d) Check other useless "reviews" before you post the same old things.

about the graphics, this has been said a million times.. IT'S A FUCKING BETA!

Learn to read ppl, as soon as the game launches you will be able to put the graphics at their maximum, now its just low-medium, hell there is no anti-aliasing yet!
So have some patience, everything will be a lot better at launch.

Also! 30 minutes of playing is not enough, you might have picked a toon that didn't fit you, try some different ones, I had to try about 3 toons before I found one that fits me, and today I tested some other toons of wich I thought they're not something I would like to play, but I was wrong.
So test some different toons, do some scenarios and public quests, and join the open ream RvR.

In fact they do, there is a amount of healed in scenarios and there are amount of heals affects the points in PQ too. Thats why most of the solo healers never got anything from PQ. If I am healer I will rather heal (for more points) than doing some minor damages a
