• • I Think I Got Left Behind

  • I have a gtx 280 card btw but for me the stuttering became alot less with older drivers. I now use the 177.41. Im not sure what exactly causes the stuttering etc though. I got a feeling its more server side related, or data over the internet, then my video card. Often its gone then other times its back.

     

    The problem with people not being there anymore in the lower tiers is a normal thing btw. People lvl alts, have seen pve and just want to speed lvl to tier 3 or tier 4. It sux i know and its a very bad sign for a game this young. All everyone does is play scenarios.

    Its funny but this means that warhammer is actually anything but new player or casual player friendly. Arrive to late or level to slow and you end up all alone.

    What you should do is play lord of the ring online. I played it about 6 months ago again and it was still as active as it was at launch. My personal taste ofcourse, i've played tons of mmorpgs btw, but lotro for me has the best and most fun lvling up i've had in any game.

    The storyline is excellent with the books. The quests have a great balance between solo play and group play. There's a shitload of dungeons in the game also you can play with other people from early level on already.

    I forgot what server i exactly played but it was the most popular/populated european server.I had a really great experience there. Unfortunately for me im not a grinder after i hit lvl cap so the endgame didnt exite me to much but thats also a personal taste.

    I'd say this game is exactly what you are looking for. Great opertunity for roleplay, great community, lots of nice guilds and great pve and should hopefully still be very active at all levels.

    Ofcourse now there's the expansion which i didnt update myself on so not sure if its only high lvl content so then maybe many might be playing their main. You might want to check it out.

    Anyway i think this is the game you should be playing, lord of the ring online.

    Oh btw it looks gorgeous too and is full of great atmosphere :).

• • Scenario's are killing this game..

  • Scenario's definatelly kill this game.

     

    I also have the feeling that many, not all , of the people saying their servers are fine and plenty of people play pq's and there's rvr to be found are people who play on a fairly new server where things are fresh still. I think this all depends on how many new players the server populates and how big the amount of beta players is for instance.

    Some servers will maybe stay this active while others once the freshness is gone will become like the rest of the servers where tier 1 to 3 rvr will be virtually non existent, maybe tier 1 empire will for alts.

    Also many say tier4 will be fine. It will not be fine trust me. Sure they will do some keep defense and attacks but in between they will just continue to grind scenario's so most likely skirmishes in the zones will be  a rare thing to see. So rvr wont be what it should be.

    On eight peaks, busy server, i witnessed destruction taking back their keep in avalorn and 1 warband of order, i play order, being present trying to prevent the retake of the keep. This while in the warcamp in averlorn were at least enough people qued for scenario's for another 2 warbands. They refused to participate and just stood there doing nothing.

    All people care about now is lvl asap and expect tier4 to be fun rvr. They are mistaken. All you have to do is look at yourself and realize you will not change, you will always choose scenario's over rvr since scenario's is what gives you way better renown gain, and xp.

    Scenario's definately kill warhammer. New arrivals will be very dissapointed to find out the only thing they have is doing scenario's till rank 40, then grind another 40 renown ranks in scenario's for the endgame.

    And yes pve is way more deserted then it should be. Some zones have some activity but alot do not. People realize the pq gear gets outlvld fast enough if you simply do scenario's so there's less and less need to get pq gear. Besides, why bother to quest with low xp rewards while you get 5 times more in scenario's.

    Scenario's are very bad for warhammer. Not to mention they get insanely boring fast enough. Specially if noone ever ques for any scenario but 1 or 2. Well at rank 40 you will be stuck to playing the same scenario's over and over again for the entire end game. That is if mythic will not fix this issue soon.

    Scenario's might be fun for you now but try to imagine playing the same scenario's for 10 lvls. Then try to imagine once you are rank 40 doing the same scenario's for another 40 + renown ranks. I bet you will get bored very fast. And for what ? Just so you become better to play scenario's again lol ? I want to become better so i can play rvr which is dynamic. Scenario's are just static and you can even run around naked and stil gain xp and renown and accomplish the same thing as you would do with gear on.

• • A Fair Look at WAR's PvE -- Is it Really Lacking?

  • warhammer has tons and tons of exploration content. I think this is what makes warhammer pve great. This is thanx to the tome of knowledge which is truely awsome and requires you to explore to solve the puzzles and find the tasks etc. I think its awesome and gives loads of depth to warhammer pve.

    There's hidden content all over the place, stuff you can trigger etc. I've not seen such cool exploration content in an mmorpgs in ages.

    You gotta pay attention to whats there, if you pretty much ignore the exploration and tome of knowledge you are not seeing whats all offered.
