*** Official Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Thread***

bloody hell if they do implement patches during primetime theres going to be a lot off miffed of people...
Do they just not think before they say something. Why cant they just replicate the US website and get rid of that god damm awful flash eating website.
 
I only managed to get into the open beta ealier this week and with the time to download the 10 Gb client I ended up not being able to play until last night. Got home to find the servers down for most of the evening and since it ends tomorrow for launch next week it looks like a wasted download. All I got to do was create a single character. :o
 
Played for about 15mins last night, got to level 2 after creating a charactor. Went for a tank style after i've been playing warrior tanks for about 2years in wow for pve.

Is there much PvE content in WaR?

All i hear about is the PvP/RvR content. I think that might be the one thing that stops me playing it. I'm a big PVE guy tbh, PvP bores me after a while
 
Never had any performance issues so far. Everything is running maxed with forced 16x AA/AF.

Forcing Trilinear mipmaps now.

Who ever said the order feel bland, i know exactly what you mean, the combat movements of the witch elf seem so more fluid and there animations seem more polished.
 
There's not shortage of PvE content at all, it's just that right from the start, you also have the option of engaging in RvR. Between normal quests, exploration, filling up all the stuff in the book of lore and the excellent public quest system, there's no shortage of stuff to do. To be honest though, I imagine the end-game is really geared towards large scale RvR. You'll probably get a few raid scenarios to keep people happy, but the main focus of development will be the warzones.

Yeah, it's too bloody close to release at this stage for them still to be in such a mess. I was looking at the US warhammer site just now, and the difference between it (www.warhammeronline.com) and the GOA one is shocking.

Edit - just read this on the GOA site :

"In order to provide our Open Beta testers with as much game time as possible before we close the Open Beta servers on Saturday, we have decided not to implement this patch during prime time tonight, but tomorrow morning between 9.oo CET and 10.00 CET."

Well thanks a ******* bunch! Does this mean that your normal patch schedule IS going to be during primetime??

MUPPETS!!

You're an idiot if you think you can compare beta to launch in terms of downtime and patches :)

there seems to be a bit of everything though with pve i think you lose out on endgame as the end game mechanic involves capping all the rvr areas last i heard, there might be some big end game pve but ive not heard much about that

Yep, and it's absolutely the most fun i've had online for years - fantastic to have a brilliant public quest, a warzone and PvE grind or quest spots close to each other, that are all great for different rewards and XP. So far this game is so much better than i felt Age of Conan was, and i really regret spending all the money that i did on Age of Conan.
 
Found a few more issues after doing 1 quest.

If you kill multiple mobs on the same spot, you have to target each body to loot it. This is the same problem that wow suffered and it took them nearly 2 years to fix it.

Also there is no arrow when i shoot my bow.

Trilinear mipmaps work well and add a little bit of better graphics.

Still enjoying the game though.

No..it means that IF they had applied the patch to the EU at the same time as the US it would have been in our primetime. In order for it to not be in our prime time they have delayed it til the following morning. No patches are planned for prime time.

Calm down :)

I was in same boat on Order until I tried a Witch Hunter. Apart from the Empire starting area being one of the best looking I thought the Witch Hunter was a real blast. Not enough to drag me away from a Black Orc at launch but certainly enough to have an Order alt going.

From what I have seen so far there is loads of PvE with the added bonus of public quests which anyone can join. There is also Realm vs. Realm which I have not played but sounds like fun. I never play PvP in the other games but I probably will in WAR because it is team based and fits in nicely with PvE.
 
Sadly if you want gear, eg, new swords and such at early levels then u need to do the RvR, then you can buy them from the renown merchants, i havent been able to find anyone else selling any weapons/armour, though saying that only have 2 toons, a lvl 7 shadow warrior and a lvl 4 witch hunter.

I expect the RvR will be better if playing with friends or guildies, too many times ive ran to help someone who was getting hit by 2 ppl only for him to run away and leaving me to deal with both of them and all thier mates.

early on its not much of a biggy..if there are already lvl 10/11s contesting the rvr areas in your current land, i hit rr4 just from being online as everyone on the map seems to get the bonus which unlocks most of the things upto lvl 6, after that you start having to do some legwork

Its funny because this was an absolute highlight for me, was playing with a few friends on TS and none of us knew what was happening, was so funny everyone yelling WTF and then laughing lots. If you’re still not sure what to do, get away from it…
 
As with wow, there ARE endgame raids in the pipework (remember, wow didnt come out with anything initially) which will directly contribute to the war effort in the rvr at tier4. It'll all be quite involved but dont forget this is the very start of a game, its a lot better than wow was when it first started too.
