    WAR - what is your impression?

    Well you have to know that PvP isn't for everyone and a purely PvP focused game wouldn't be selling as much. And they don't force you to do any PvE, you can go through everything and strictly PvP. The problem is that PvP is dependent on people and it's really the people that make or break that...

    Warhammer Online - Now what?

    What server are you on? sounds like one of the low pop ones. Open RvR is pretty active on my server, although Order could use a boost. We've seen some declines lately as a lot of people are playing the new classes. I would suggest flying to each pairing and looking up open warbands to see if...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Scenarios aren't everything. There's a lot of open RvR out there and if you join a decent guild, you'll always find something to do.

    WAR - what is your impression?

    While the overall population of WAR has certainly declined, as long as you play on a populated server, you won't really see it. They've been opening up transfers more instead of just merging servers for PR reasons more than anything I think. They've also silently stopped allowing new character...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Yea only the serpent's one pops which I think is a problem with the join all logic. I think my server (drifting castle) is the only server where destruction does not dominate all the time. Actually right now a big destro guild just decided to reroll order on another server so we're hurting...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Yea except that a couple of BWs can really put a hurting on you and the rest of the group and I find that it's much harder to kill healers than BWs.

    WAR - what is your impression?

    How is this more of a grind than before? You knew the best equipment was in the king encounters, now you just know the progression. Also at least you have the option of getting the RvR version of the set rather than the PvE version and mixing/matching both. Lets say you don't want to do any...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    I had my first taste of T4 and endgame RvR last night as Order attempted take keeps in praag and chaos wastes. They managed to take praag first and lock it down then the battle moved to chaos wastes. They took those keeps also but I guess they didn't have enough victory points to lock it down...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Well after another weekend of more playing I can say the game is definitely improving. The problems last week with drifting castle were gone on Friday so that was good. T3 scenarios still pop constantly now with the introduction of the join all button. However, I see a lot of unbalanced...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Yea Drifting Castle has issues. At first I didn't really notice any problems then all of a sudden I couldn't get to the guild window and it looked as if I was unguilded but I could still talk in guild chat. I didn't know about the flightmaster issue since I stayed in one zone but the scenario...

    The latest patch has the Join All button for scenarios... maybe that'll help things even out for you. *shrugs*

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Chosen also get a knockback and AoE root at level 30. Yea one scenario I remember we didn't have any sorcs or magus so no aoe roots for us... needless to say we got picked apart by order with not much to do...

    WAR - Fail

    The whole rigidity with the racial pairing and classes probably goes back to the days of DAoC but back then you had 3 realms so more diversity. They probably shouldn't have taken out the missing careers though as i think those fill in some needed gaps but some where down the line the decision...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Proven from what Tier 1 balance? again it's a toss up on who's going to win since you could have all lowbies on one side and all level 11s on another. It's hard enough to balance endgame but expecting perfect balance at all from lower levels is ridiculous. Given that WAR has pretty decent...

    WAR - Fail

    Compare the levels though, cap is only 40 and i'm currently rank 27 almost 28 and RR 21. I estimate it'll take me another week or so to get to 31. That's T4 in about a month. That's not bad considering I'm not being powerleveled and I only play week nights for maybe 3 hours or so and weekends...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    I guess being on the destruction side and not having a root ability yet, I don't see the crazy rooting from the destro side. What I do see is lots from the Order side, mainly bright wizards. It helps that I do have an ability to break them every minute but sometimes I do get chain rooted, not...

    WAR - Fail

    So what rank/class did you actually get up to playing? T1 and T2 can be hit or miss depending on your server. 1. You must be on a bad server for it to be empty then because I'm on one with a decent population (Drifting Castle) and I see no shortage of people. Scenarios pop for me at least...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Renown vendors sell decent equipment. Usually though you can get better stuff through PQ rewards either by completing them or through the influence rewards. Good equipment also drops from mobs or just from quests. There's also some armor set that's available through some quests which usually...

    I'm doing talisman making and magical salvaging also. From what I've seen, the level of your salvaging skill corresponds to the level of the items you can salvage. You should have really started off by salvaging items from rank 1 or whenever you could train for salvaging. The items there will...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    The fact that there's such a variety in the hardware of the people with lag/choppiness issues hints to a combination of issues rather than a single problem. NVidia users have different fixes than ATI users. I'm guessing it's not going to be just one magic thing they fix in the engine but rather...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    I gotta say the level of cooperation has increased since T1 but there are still those times when it seems everyone just runs around like chickens with their heads chopped off. I just wish more of the other scenarios would pop instead of just Tor Arnoc. It might just be a flaw in the map...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Just spent this weekend doing lots of T3 scenarios and on my server Order is dominant at T3 and up I think. What annoys me though is that a lot of times I see sides just not bothering with the actual objective and just turtling up on the flag or certain area and letting time run out. If...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Well the only way to truly balance 1v1 is to make everyone the same, take out the levels, take out the difference in abilities and that's not going to happen. By balancing it out by Realm you ensure each side has the tools to win. They might have to maybe tweak the way they fill the scenarios to...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    2 Accounts = 2 copies of the game. That's pretty standard for any MMO. Maybe in the future it'll be cheaper but that's how it always is in the beginning. As far as balance is concerned, Tier 1 is really not a good indication of balance especially if you have differences in ranks because...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Big difference on my server. Order's been owning in Tier 3 in scenarios and world RvR. Destruction is definitely not overpowered, have you seen the screenshots of 150k+ dmg from bright wizards in a single scenario? I've been chain rooted by like 3 bright wizards as they burn everyone around me...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Yea it's easy to burn yourself out just grinding quests and influence. I think since the XP gained doesn't scale the same as the amount of XP you need, it leaves people frustrated because they're used to the fast leveling of the initial levels. They should have made it a more gradual transition...

    I just read about a potential fix for the low FPS for people with Nvidia cards. First off make sure you have updated drivers. Go to the Nvidia control panel > Manage 3D Settings. Click on the Program Settings Tab. Click on Add and browse to your warhammer installation folder and select...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    I haven't seen any of these exploits on my server yet so I hope they don't get widespread. As for the lost gear, the few times I've crashed, thankfully that hasn't happened. As far as class balance is concerned, I think overall it is pretty balanced. The problem with the scenarios is the mix...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    yea they definitely need to do some more work on that auction house. The filtering by class seemed to work for me last night but I haven't checked today. I sent a lot of feedback reports to them about the auction house so I hope someone reads that stuff lol It seems like an afterthought for now...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    I've put so many items up for auction and haven't had any issues. Putting up items for auction was like instantaneous. The only issue I have is with the mail when I have like 20 things in my mailbox it takes so long to open up each one to get stuff. Lag was minimal for me, it took maybe a...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    You get fragments from salvaging equipment but you can only salvage green or better equipment. You get to choose what stats you want to have on your fragment. It doesn't always work though so sometimes you'll salvage some gear and it turns into scraps of magic essence instead of fragments. To do...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    You gotta find a good guild to do the PQs with I think. The random groups can be ok if you're lucky and the people actually pay attention but in general, I've learned not to depend much on anyone else. The populations on the servers are getting spread out more as people rank up so you'll often...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    The ones in the arena in the Inevitable City are small ones so they're pretty straight forward. Kill some trash mobs, then a boss, then a boss for the whole instance. The boss did look cool though and he owned my trio group lol the drops for the mini bosses were decent for that level and the...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Sort what out? They can't control which players are queuing for scenarios nor can they control how fast people level up. I'm sure the queues would be even longer if they had to wait for both sides to be completely balanced. It's really a toss up depending on the time of day and your server...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    Just uncheck the fullscreen option and you should be able to alt-tab no problem, dunno what the big deal is lol. Yea I have no idea what's wrong with your video if you had to do all that. All I did was turn off Adaptive AA and it fixed it. Are you running the latest drivers? I'm on 8.9 with no...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    That is open RvR and happens in areas of the map designated for RvR. Sounds like a keep siege. The first keeps you'll encounter are in Tier 2.

    Here's a tip if you're having problems with AA not working: 1. Go to your <warhammer install directory>\user folder and edit the UserSettings.xml file. 2. Go to the <Performance> section and make sure that the level is set to custom1, <perflevel level="custom1" />. 3. Turn off specular...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    There is no show fps in the game so I use fraps. It looks like the game itself is capped at 100fps as I didn't see it go beyond that. I get that at the title screen and then on average about 60-70 I'd say with shots up to 90 on occasion and as low as 40. There are a few tweaks you can do to...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    alt-tab doesn't black screen for me, it just takes a few seconds to come back up. If uncheck fullscreen you won't get that and it runs just fine. Transparent heads is a known issue with ATI drivers, you need to turn off Adaptive AA not anisotropic filtering. There's also an issue with AA/AF not...

    WAR - what is your impression?

    I've read a lot of people saying that WAR = PvP and that's true only to a degree though. Yes there is PvP in WAR but it's not all about PvP, there is a big PvE game there also. Mythic's RvR term really means both PvP and PvE together. You can spend your time from 1-40 doing strictly PvE, not...
