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

Loving the Zealot as well - from a tanks point of view! I just charge in when I see flashing +x health points! Did get hammered a couple of times in RvR mainly because our side as running all over the place whilst the pansies (or goodies depending on your view point) came as one big group! Still won in the end though!

Ah, well most of my gear is quite good atm I think. I got a random blue drop and a few nice greens (including some shoulders!). So that might be why I'm having trouble finding them to be a little better yet.

Aye m4cc, also if you find out who's healing you - try to keep them alive and you'll last quite a while. I'm starting to send tells to the tank I'm healing, so they know who to protect and keep in los with! If you're in close combat with each other, try block others and put up your guard ability too!
 
Sorry guys to be lazy but could anyone give me a minor run down on what this game is gonna be like compared to WoW? I mean.. i liked WoW but eventually got bored of it after 2 years. I am interested in playing another MMO, AoC didn't quite cut it for me.

I don't know whether to re-upgrade my graphics card in order to play this and tide me over for a couple of months until all the crazy XB360 titles are being released.

Any opinions?
 
WAR gameplay is centered around PvP way more than WoW, it got Open RvR(part of the map where its war :p, contains objectives and keep you can siege and capture) you got the scenarios(that are like BG) but you can join them from anywhere on the map.

It still has PvE, with Public Quests(its quests that are running and everyone can just come and join the fun) these quests raise influence(faction) and you get rewards for that, also you get to roll on loot at the end depending on how much you helped you get a bonus and you roll and get a chance to get loot !

If you are really fond of WoW PvE and really can't stand PvP i wouldn't advise to play WAR tbh, but if you like your fair share of PvP go ahead and give it a try!
 
I do try and do that - sometimes you can guess from whos around you as to who's healing you in which case I try and get in a place where I can whack things but also be seen by the healer (or try and whack and retreat so the enemy run towards me).

I'd say you can also do a lot singurely (okay this is my first 10 levels so I'm not sure how thats going to change throughout the game) so you can just continue questing and forget about rvr until you're ready. If someone who is more than two levels higher than you and attacks you then they turn into a chicken... can't wait to see this.. just need a way of hdiing my level now - lol

Thanks for that buddy.
Do you know if there is going to be a trial out or is that doubtful @ release?

Maybe I will get the game and give it a try, and then see whether to upgrade my graphics card ;)

Hard to know, I seem to remember them not bringing out a free trial for DaoC for ages. I'd say they'll wait until the initial rush dies down, and release one in a month or two so that those that are hooked can invite their friends.
 
I doubt that the trial will come directly, they want $$$ first :p

I see that you last tried AoC well i can say that AoC was really bad compared to War, even tho it was just released the game is well done and only a few minor bugs remain.
Mythic can now start to patch the game to make it even better !
 
What's the most efficient way of levelling up in this game ?
After seeing the surplus of tanks in AoF I've made a shaman, currently only lvl 6, and I'd like to get to a stage where I'm not 1-shotted in RvR !
 
Just found this on another forum, shows where to get the flight masters so you can meet up with people in different starting areas -

The flight master is located in the warcamp which is always very close by the chapter 3 staging area.

Here are some maps that show you how to reach them even at Rank 1 so you can play with your friends as soon as the servers open up.

Pre-ordered! can't wait for thursday... has Mythic said anything about the Order / Destruction balance problems everyone seems to have encountered in some form or other - I would hate to find myself picking a server / side based on what would be easymode RvR.
 
Well this was how I was told about balance.

The server will let in only so many of each side. So if you have 100 order / 100 destruction then all is well. The destruction could go up to 150 and all is well but no more.

Not entirely sure how that works though.

They said a long loooong time ago in beta that they would use balancing measures similar to Daoc but didnt specify what they would use this time around, I guess they are waiting til after retail release to see how significant the balance is.
