Not entirely true, the witch elf has a 2nd tier morale ability that drains 200 action points which is quite nice.

Well it is pretty true, he said "long cooldowns so not spammable", its a morale ability so its not spammable.

Correct, after a second look its become obvious that i appear to have barely read anything he wrote lol .

I can see some potential problems with WAR. Already some PQs aren’t getting run. Once the majority of the player base out levels an area it might be impossible to do them.

You really need to be in a guild for this game I can't see any use soloing in an RVR scenario.

Guild will roll alts to do low level PQ's since there is also OPEN RVR there as well. Just like WOW's BGs at differenct levels you have WARs different tiers.

Scenarios don’t have the balancing features WoW does. The PUG vs set teams was a huge bone of contention in WoW. Could potentially be an issue in WAR too.

That might be harder to solve but not impossible PartyvParty and PUG v PUG should be easier to achieve but again probably not top of the list for Mythic

Whats the best class to be and what race?

Play order, other than that just pick the sort of class you enjoy. I recommend Witch Hunter but there you go.

Have a read up on the classes, play the ones that interest you to level 8 or so and see how you get on

 

[Wyrdo]

Where are all the Runepriest's?! I just rolled one, got to level 6 and ran about 8 scenarios, didn’t see one other priest!

I'm one and I see loads of them about

Maybe its just my server then, or maybe they all stay in the Dwarf zone /shrug

Is there a command to swap weapons ?

I would like a quick way to swap from 2 hands to sword/shield.

 

[.:MBK:.]

have a play with the macro feature and see what comes up, should be something on wha on commands to move weapons about, probably involing your command bar

I started witch elf and im amazed how its almost exactly like my rogue from world of warcraft. Except i dont have stealth.. do we get stealth? meh im enjoying it so far

 

[CliffyG]

There is limited stealth, its on a 60 sec cooldown and only lasts 30 seconds i think. Sometimes people spot me when im nowhere near them though, i've not come across any other stealthers so am not entirely sure how detection works.

Last copy in the shop Just installing now..

Dare I ask which servers you guys are playing on.. I need someone to kill

 

[Hainar]

WoW was the same you know, 30+ min queues on nearly all servers and that was not side dependant.

I play/played on a launch EU WoW server and we have never had a queue at any time that I tried to log on. In WAR there is often a queue in the evening atm no matter the server.

No there isn't, quite a few servers do not have queues.

I play/played on a launch EU WoW server and we have never had a queue at any time that I tried to log on

That's why I said nearly all servers, not every server, I know people who played it at launch and I joined shortly after, was still queues at times and the WoW forums were full of whining.

No idea about EU WoW, but I played US WoW from launchday (I can even remember the day, was the 24th of November 2004 I believe ) , and we had queues on the servers there for about the whole of the first month. Possibly even longer, my memory is a bit hazy on when it finally stopped, but it was certainly several weeks.

Same here, no idea on EU WoW but if you were there at US launch, urghhghg the queuing there put the queuing in WAR to shame.

I've only had to queue once since head start/release and that was Sunday afternoon. (Order - Karak Azgal)

I think detection is based on the players initiative skill.

 

[Deleted User 234324]

Yep detection is based on initiative, your level and distance, depensive classes will have fairly high initiative due to it also increasing dodge chance.

 

[Frapple]

Gah already a massive numbers game, may as well hit yourself in the face with a spreadsheet.

That and the zerg PvP I experienced throughout beta has put me right off, RvR sounded great on paper, but just came out as the same as WoW's bigger battles.

Public quests were awesome though, especially when other people were around.
