Was just curious

Was thinking about resubbing, did they ever sort out t4?

Loudness · 07-27-2009, 05:37 AM

its still laggy as all fuck, its still a major zerg fest on both sides during primetime,

the new expansion is cool, but not that cool

class balance is still dumb

choppas are fucking lame

7 choppas and 3 doks are lame too.

Sorc/BW bomb groups are also lame

T4 is definately a zerg fest if you're not in a good guild (and I'm not), but if you are then things can get a lot better. Managed to follow a good guild around yesterday as they ninja capped and defended BO's with 2.5 groups or so - was a lot of fun watching the destro zerg give up.

Lag isn't that bad for me (though occasionally it can get really bad), its a fun game in small doses - there's no way I could play it for more than a few hours a time though.

It depends on what you are talking about in T4?

Give me some examples, and I can give you a little more info.

For reference I play on Dark Crag

Go back to wow phov!

I quit before they released Choppas, or even KoTBS (which is what I really wanted to play) due to the Tor Anroc grind. I can't say I ever got to cap level but I definitely got the feel that I never wanted to after doing Tor Anroc about 50 times and getting maybe 20% XP.

Was mainly curious if they ever fixed the ridiculous amounts of XP required to level once heading into high t3 then in t4. I haven't grinded since Desert of Flames and never care to again.

They have made the T3 => T4 leveling experience quicker. Leveling in T4 isn't that difficult if thats what you want to do - however if you want to level through pure PvP thats going to take a while.

PvE aoe grinding is the fastest way to level unfortunately, but as I can never be arsed to do it I'm still level 37 running around trying to PvP myself to the cap (and have been in T4 for about a month now, but casual playtimes)

Pretty spot on - you can level insanely fast with AE grinds on large hard Public Quests (which on the larger servers is broadcast all the time for spots)

As for me, when I leveled I did it through PvP - and it took longer, but my renown rank was 40 right the next day from hitting Rank 40. Renown isn't hard to get up to about 38ish - but then is a grind after that. Right now I am just about to hit 56, which isn't too bad judging that I only started playing Warhammer on DC back in March, and I don't play more then 2-3 hours at a time.

Tor Anroc is a fun scenario, if you are in a pre-made - but if you were just grinding away and doing it, I can see how it pissed you off. It's the first (and only scenario) map where classes with KnockBack can just what the fuck own you into lava....and right around the mid 20's is when most classes start to get some form of crowd control.

End game wise, on the major servers (Dark Crag, Iron Rock, Gorfang, etc) Order dominates. It's not a matter of bad destro players, it's just fact that Order classes are more powerful then destro - and unless the destro side has an enormous zerg, it's going to be that way. This works for me, since I like being the underdog - but others can't stand it. The disparity in gear (at least on Dark Crag, which I believe is the only North American server to have a side kill the King [Order has killed our King I believe 5/6 times]) is huge - but again, it's fun none the less if you don't mind knowing when to pick your battles.

The last patch brought back a little more parity, with the overall AE nerf, and crowd control changes. With Mythic merging with Bioware - here is hoping things get even better (and they have a generic "We are going to be doing x and y before the end of the year" type post) - but for me, it's at least fun still.

Holy - I never played WoW more then a week or so, ever

Tor Anroc was fun. I dunno, if even that bit of grinding (at it was not brainless grinding as pve aoe grinding is) is too much for you, then why play warhammer at all. Open rvr from r40 on was much more of a grind.

Pitty · 07-31-2009, 01:50 AM

Man i wish i could play tor anroc as a lvl 40 heh, although with all the knockback immunities now, my ib wouldn't have as much fun

I cancelled my sub for war, might go back one day, but with the new mmo's on the horizon i dunno, end game on a dying server is a lot of standing around. Of course that could just be me not motivated enough to rvr or the game design.

I got to RR 67, 1 rank off my 4th warlord piece. It's pretty slow going getting those RR ranks.
