Testpig, do you think WAR is worth coming back to as of Fall 2010? I haven't played the game since December 2008 when they were just adding in KOTBS and such, I quit because there was no end game content and little class balance in RvR.

I know the game's population has dwindled greatly since two years ago, but is the game worth coming back to now? Has anything improved since you made this video?

@metalfaust19 Heya, Mythic is currently trying to do an open RvR revamp, but in classic mythic fashion have made all the wrong turns. 1.4 was the supposed to be the turning point for most players currently holding on for something big. 1.4 was indeed supposed to be the patch that actually revives the game to a point that gave us the players hope. But it has indeed gone very very wrong. I was thinking about making another video on 1.4's failures, but honestly, 1.4 speaks for itself.

Now in DaoC as far as i played, i never saw any RvR messages and never saw a button that gets me into the RvR action... Can you actually participate in RvR in DaoC without reaching max level through PvE? And would you be useful if you did? I mean does it even have RvR tiers?

If it's missing all these, and it's just a PvE grind to max in order to PvP, how is that more RvR oriented than WAR?

[testpig]

@kozas0 you also didn't see that button until recently in Warhammer. yes, in DAOC each tier of leveling had a battle grounds. level 1-5, 6-11, etc etc etc. Your level would scale, and you would also gain XP/RP inside the zone. It would also have keeps/towers which the players can capture, defend, and destory. The RvR in daoc also had true reasons that actually effected thepower of your realm. realm incentive, realm pride.

I think what you don't quite realise is that say they had resurrection in the middle of battle it would make the game way too easy. People don't get OVER angry when they wipe - its ment to be a challenge. WoW isnt even hard - its just teamwork and you obviously have not experienced any of this and I would guess you were a Pugger. By implenting such things as this you completely kill the concept of the game.

[testpig]

@Nauwsee The epic encounters used to allow resurrection =). So the original concept of the game is not the same concept as it is today? you know not what you speak.

wow is a fucking pve game

[testpig]

@YursanProductions

War is not a PvP based game. It's a PvE & RvR game. accept it =) While yes mythic made DAOC which was heavily focused on RvR content. War is not the next evolutionary step DAOC RvR style gaming content. War is a sub-par DAOC, and a sub-par WoW

[metalfaust19]

@testpig Dang. Was hoping to come back to a better game, but two years after I quit it looks like this game is still trying to fix the same problems it had back then. Funny how fast time flies, I remember being so damn excited for this game in 2007 and 2008, then it finally released in Fall 08 and I got to Tier 4 by December and realized it was broken in the end game in both PvP and PvE.

I do miss my Witch Hunter, Swordmaster and Archmage, though. Oh, well. R.I.P. Warhammer Online.

@kozas0 Agreed totally

[BAMF5550123]

@testpig Ok WAR would focus on PvE but if you have the choice RvR or PvE which you gonna choose. RvR, and sine 99% of WARs players are in RvR WAR does not focuz on PvE unless nessecary.

[BAMF5550123]

Rez part did not make sense. All those WoW pics ....Didn't like your zone locks idea either. Like the idea of every 25% on the door though

[kozas0]

I don't see why you declare WAR less of a PvP game than DaoC... I had played both. On WAR as soon as you start a new character you 'll come across messages that say what's going on on the RvR lakes and whatever other RvR events happen like area locks... Then you can also join the fight by a simple click of a button if there is a call for war... If all these weren't enough, you can level up 100% at RvR in WAR and completely ignore PvE cause there is really no need to do any of it, even gear-wise.

All sugestions in here are potentaially Kudos, ftw, godlike and would be great. still it doesnt make them being anywhere near coming to life. if mythic had a half of resources, crew and skills of Blizzard this game would own the battlefield that have never been even approached by WoW.
