Wondering if the game evolved much from the start?
What I'm mainly wondering is if the memory leaks and the performance issues were fixed?
 
I stopped playing around 1.04 and gave it a try last week in 1.1, seems much smoother in performance.

Still a bit rough around the edges though where the gameplay is concerned, I quit to play WoTLK expecting to hate it like I did with TBC and go back to WAR... but WoTLK does everything WAR does but better imo.

Wintergrasp is a lot more fun than keep sieging in WAR will ever be unless they really start from scratch on it and completely overhaul, which I doubt you would see until an expansion or something. Sure WAR has the scope of a campaign going on, but I think its undermined by the boring gameplay when it comes to sieging / capturing bos etc.
 
runs pretty good now but the gameplay hasnt really changed much, the only noticeable difference is a larger loot table and better itemization
 
Playing Warhammer on US servers, client issues pretty much all sorted, not seen a crash in weeks.

Tried WoTLK but not keen, not sure why though. Mate now has my account :)
 
The last big patch pretty much brought it up to the state it should have been released in. No major issues, two of the missing classes added back in, and a load of incentives for open RvR that actually means there's usually a big battle or two going on somewhere, and not just a load of scenarios.

Edit - note that the servers have polarised a bit - the transfer options were rubbish, so a lot of people just re-rolled on a new server. Eltharion is really the only euro one for open RvR, for core ruleset Karak Eight Peaks and one or two others are the really busy ones.
 
in some repsects yes, individual client performance has got a lot better since launch, i suffer very little lag/stutter and crashes in general play, however the biggest issue facing the game right now is in tier 4 with fortress sieges, there have been numerous patches / fixes aimed towards improving open rvr performance when players are in the fortress zones, but basically when hundreds of players converge together performance goes out the window on anything but uber rigs with fastest settings, or the zone crashes :)

It is something mythic seems to be focusing on as a prioirty, but it needs fixing very soon, as without working stable fortress sieges playing the rest of the game becomes a futile experience.
 
Cool thanks guys, I might re-roll a char.
I wanna see open rvr, which server do you guys think is the best for me?
 
MM i keep getting a urge to paly it but then i remeber how bored out of my mind i got playing my IB. I love the class and was rank 28 or something but my god there was nothing to do ever. Sure could take a keep andn watch 100 dest go and take it back again.

Think my server was mmm karak var? or was it one of them beging with a D. Either way have the servers fleshed out yet or is it still 4 dest to every 1 order making the whole keep thign impossible and order a barran wasteland?
 
On Karak Eight Peaks at the moment order slightly outnumber destro I think. It's certainly not the one sided destro-fest it was on every server at launch.
 
1 server? im not redoing all that leveling as ive already got to t3 3 times lol. Ill leave it i gues, i cant see war really suriving tbh. I was one of the beta testers and a lot of my friends i made beta testing stoped playign within first month of release as well.

It'll be around for years, copy your character to an active server.
 
Your right i picked the wrong choice of words. It wont die, it will just be rather barron with 1 good server, maybe 2.

As for copying characters over, is it free? Dont really get why i should pay to move server because mythic didn't get it right really.
 
I'm currently playing WAR on and off purely out of boredom, but all's it feels like I'm doing is constant questing and Battlegrounds.. Their never seems to be many people looking for groups for instances etc.

As for performance issues... I have only seen the performance issues fixed slightly and I'm still getting pretty bad FPS on WAR.
 
personally i'd check out the server forums on warhammeralliance and form your own opinion of which server to choose, for core servers i think it pretty much boils down to 3 right now - until they do more player transfers.

when people reroll they go to karak eight peaks "cus it's the busiest", the 2 core servers that recently had a influx from server transfers are Karak-Hirn and Karak-Azgal.

I'm playing order on Hirn and daily census data shows it to be fairly balanced and changing hourly for the ratio of destruction/order online. Both sides have had multiple fortress attempts, with order capturing 1 fortress with a bit of help from the keep lord (making his way downstairs :o).

Azgal seems to have had a major influx of destruction if the forums are anything to go by, so if you are looking for some sort of balance end game you might run into problems,
 
Playing Destruction on Karak-Hirn, KH was an awesome server to play on even before the transfers.

We do seem to be outnumbered often, but last night order had all the T3 keeps at once for a short while so there must be a fair number of us on there. Didn't have it all our own way for very long though :D
