Thank god that has not happened to us yet, on an Open RvR server that would mean having to walk as a chicken all the way to the first warcamp (can't hearth)

I'm guessing they'll see a decent sized dip on that number Oct 16th - 20th from all the players not renewing.

Only 750K? This game is really good. Everybody im playing with loves it. Kind of surprised it isn't over 1 million. None of us would ever consider playing WoW again. That said though I can see how the casuals hate it. It is a group dependent game. Still why play an MMO if you are gonna be be alone all the time?

[Drtyrm]

Of course there will be a dip. The question is how much of one? I believe that the quick response they are showing to player concerns will help minimize that spike. I for one am loving the game. I'll maybe be back to WoW next year after all the WotLK shit settles down.

Okay two newb questions:

My friend wants to roll a healer to accompany my Bright Wizard. Which healer is "better" in your opinion...

Also, how would he get over to where I started as fast as possible? We're clueless about the world and how to travel.

Game has only been out a few weeks man. WoW didn't have its millions over night heh. The game will be healthy and grow based heavily on word of mouth and as of right now WAR is getting over all great press. Mythic is helping that along by being fucking rockstars with listening to player feedback and fixing/adding shit. Which is a further kick in the balls to Failcom if you ask me. It is nice being excited for game updates instead of dreading them like I did in AoC.

The phase 1 exp changes today gave me wood. Looking forward to seeing what else they come up with for oRvR to make it more rewarding.

I would go rune priest. All the healers can heal well but the RP has no gimmicks that go along with their healing like AM/WP do. Its a pretty common and powerful combo in scenarios. I even see RP advertising that they are looking for a good BW to run scenarios with.

If he goes RP he just needs to run to the warcamp that is next to the RvR area on his map. There is a flightmaster there that will take him to Nordland.

This game does patches a lot faster than WoW does, but they do make some mistakes and sometimes they have to bring the servers back down to fix them. But on the other side... WoW usually takes 10 times as long to release a patch... so this game so far is awesome when it comes to fixing the bugs. AoC was horrible both ways... they took to long to release patches, then the patches were not related to what people were complaining about, then when they released the patch, everthing was a lot worse than before the patch. I think once AoC released the game, they stopped caring about it and continued developing a different game... cause it seemed only 5 or less people were working on the game...

Ps: sorry if you read through that... i am drunk !

Hit 40 today, 9 days 10 hours /played. Absolutely love my Marauder I'm still currently Monstrosity and have built defensive as it seems I get targeted a lot. T4 quests were pretty fun, good epic quest story lines.


Phoenix Throne also had not only its first Fortress fight today but 2 of them on 2 seperate Forts. Going to just toss up some screenshots.

I didnt sign up to be a healer who gets a lame mechanic to have to heal and then gets 20 abilities i can hardly ever use because of how unbalanced the game is.

Also you gotta understand how stupid it is on destro, the BW MS just melts a DOK or any healer, its retarded.

Yet there is still a band of kiddies on the boards saying "dok needs some nerfs imo". Hopefully mythic is looking at the data (its abysmal, DoK numbers are the WORST out of every healer. Commonly DoK have the lowest damage AND lowest healing done out of every healer. I couldn't believe how easily newb shamans were beating the piss out of my numbers)

They need to implement the "frontline" part of those classes. Otherwise the class is mechanically broken, indefinitely. We certainly aren't doing shit for damage, and definitely are not doing the best healing by using emergency regen abilities to cast heals. Broken, broken, broken.

i can queue up over and over again solo and end up with the same group of people but the enemy team always changes. most servers tend to have higher dest population.

Dont even know what to say to this.

Order population skyrocketed. Destro has zero wait times, and we won every single game due to having REAL characters on our team who were much higher level than the opportunist newbies from Order. I mean it was fucking bad, we even started feeling bad about it. I haven't seen order win a single game. Destro was getting emo in chat about rolling so many games repeatedly.

I deleted my level 10 order chars in the first day of the server, because the queue times were incredible and we NEVER won a single game. Note again, the queue times were LONG for order.

I rerolled destro on the same bonus server and get automatic games and automatic wins from retard fodder like yourself. Make sense now?

P.S. to whoever the moron is who left -internets for me. Surprise bitch I have something else to tell you, the exp bonus doesn't count for quests. Mobs give dirt exp. So whats that leave you? Thats right son, scenario exp, which destro dominates in with zero queue times. Therefore........wait for it..........wait for it..... Destro levels faster than Order. Imagine that.

Guess whos winning the scenarios without any queue times? Destro (psssst you dont get exp if you dont get any points in a scenario) hint hint

[Nilden]

Wait wait did you just make a destro character on the servers with the 20% bonus to Order?

Well DoKs and WPs can put up VERY good heal numbers, the problem is they normally do next to no damage in the process which I agree seems flawed. It is not uncommon to see a WP/DoK do 80-100k healing but only 5-9k damage which is hardly a "melee-healer".

I did see the other night though some numbers that impressed the shit out of me and I am wondering if any of you WPs could shed some light on it. WP in Tor Anroc did 88,000 damage and 63,000 healing. How the fuck? That is solid healing for TA with no damage but on top of that he was top 3 damage as well? Is there some trick the vast majority of WP/DoKs are missing out on to pad their numbers because that seems borderline over powered to dish out that kind of damage AND healing. Only thing I can think of is he was left alone to just chain smite/AE morale and group heal?

It is obviously a fluke because it is the first time since T1 I have been in awe at one of the melee healers.
