(Obviously, public quests are an exception to this. I'm believe it refers to the normal quest system.)

I can't really see an issue with this. Most of the grouped people run scenarios for XP (better and faster, even in a 15 minute game), most of the solo people run quests. Quest items are pretty useless if you have a group that can run PQs. So, there's no benefit to quests at all for a group other than to complete them on the run from PQ to PQ and between scenarios. Most of the gear I wear at 21 from soloing is from drops rather than quests. I just feel the quests are there to complete an MMO feel and to also provide lore.

Lairs and PQs will still be groups, and quests can still be completed as groups. Also, I doubt they're removing Champion+ wanderers in the game world (although, currently there is no good reason to kill one other than a very small chance at a tome unlock).

Also keep in mind there are 22 Chapter's in the game according to warhammer.wikia.com. I'm 30 and T4 is starting at Chapter 15, while I could be wrong, I doubt they have 7 solo chapter's taking you up to 40. I imagine 19-22 or something along those lines would have some group intensive things. Someone who is higher level maybe able to enlighten us.

Stromni Redbeard · 10-01-2008, 10:03 PM

the WL argument is such bullshit. i am fine with them nerfing the Pounce across the lava as long as they nerf the starting area of destruction area back far enough to where its fair.

Everytime i pounced to the orb first, i had dest right on me as soon as the timer on the orb finished, i could turn around and look down the hill and half my team on order was just rounding the turn to come up the hill.

Make the BG fair , or take it out so we can get queue's going for some other ones.

Yeah, but they run around like chickens with their heads cut off after they get the ball. Our groups always go right at the start, and then sandwich them at the point, or better, nab the ballcarrier for running ahead. The real bitch is when those fuckers run down into the lava-nook near their spawn. More often than naught we can punt the guy, but it's still cheesy as all hell.

Tonight I actually did a little dance of joy when I hit 32, no more Tor Anroc forever.

edit: Mythic ought to make all queues random, so you can't choose your map, at least try it for a week.

The chapters are all solo and it does a pretty good job of getting you to 40 with no grinding.. you have all the PQs and the bastion stair for group content through those levels.. some of the PQ loot gets pretty nice, i picked up the first piece of my annihilator set yesterday in a PQ on isle of the dead... also there are a few epic quests that involve some mild group content (more duo/trio stuff) and a few of the normal quest chains would prolly be annoying to do solo since respawns gets pretty fast and alot of classes might have trouble soloing but i think every chapter quest i have gotten would take a duo max to do.

Rhuobhe · 10-01-2008, 11:01 PM

I'm real close to 32 and I am dreading it. I don't think there have been any T4 scenarios on my server. The low 30s is definitely the EQ hell levels of this game. I have run out of quests and the ones that I have available are tough because the mobs and in the high 30s and I will be without any scenarios for the next few days. grind grind grind

Mist · 10-01-2008, 11:05 PM

What is the Bastion Stair?

Bixxby · 10-01-2008, 11:20 PM

Looked like a dungeon, mippo posted a screenshot the other day.

I saw this new addon linked over at WHA. Though I haven't tried it out yet, it looks like something that will prove to be very useful in queuing for scenarios. Apologies if this was linked already, I searched but did not see anything.

If they can't get Tor Anroc fixed ASAP then they should disable the scenario. Even with the WL exploit, Destruction would still get the ball 90+% of the time. It just further skews the realm imbalance by allowing Destruction players to level significantly faster in T3.

Hah... HAHAHAHA.

Seriously. Do you know how long we wait in queues on most not full/full servers? Your so wrong.

Scenarios are the one place you guys have the one serious advantage, any exploits aside.

Northerner · 10-02-2008, 01:29 AM

You are supposed to wait in queues. No really, that's your disincentive for rolling the high pop side.

In before Grump on the "your" too.

Chanur · 10-02-2008, 03:41 AM

Ive been sampling around on the game and there are several classes i'm enjoying on destruction. My girlfriend wants to make some Order guys also though. What i'm wondering is, who is turning out to be the strongest healer on the order side?

Also I really cant wait for them to put the choppa back in, loved that class in beta.

think rune priest is the best healer. Warrior Priests / Archmage are healer hybrids that might be a little more fun though.

Chanur · 10-02-2008, 03:58 AM

Thanks Faille. Im looking to buddy up with my girlfriends tank. Thinking I might try out the Archmage or Warrior Priest. Archmage seems similar to my shaman. How do the WP and AM compare healing wise?
