I am still trying to figure out the travel design and quest locations.

For instance as a level 9 witch hunter I have a quest to go to the Blighted Isles and the Bloodhorn Mountain(sp?). The red highlight of the map is around a section of the quest givers, almost like I have to talk to someone to get there but I haven't bene able to find out who to talk to or how to get to those two spots.

What am I missing?

Usually when the quest is circling the area you're in and there's a flight master there...you have to fly to a new zone. In your case I don't know where you are but Im going to assume the human area... Bloodhorn = dwarves so you need to take the flight master to bloodhorn. Where there will be a whole slew of new RVR quests if you choose to take them..and a couple "walk here" quests that will give you more PVE quests..depending on your level at the time.
 
Only thing that bothers me right now about this game is that it doesn't seem to take advantage of dual GPU setups. Does anyone know if there has been any feedback from Mythic regarding SLI and Crossfire? I think I saw a few things a while back but I don't know.
 
This game is awesome and I'm fully enjoying every second I get a chance to play. Currently, I'm a Rank 10 Sorcerer and intend to take him to T4 to do some awesome RvR.

My only gripe is they need to make the buffs/debuffs more clear and the NPC's need to stand out better.

Feel free to look for me on Bechefan - Hopsingtong
 
I too am surpirsed at how much I like this game, and I am a big casual WoW player.

At first few Levels 1 - 4, I was thinking delete this game it was so boring and lame, then around Level 5 areas, and deeper into the world away from the starting camps it just seemed to get night and day cooler, not sure why but the starter areas blow, but further out into the maps it gets much better ??

- How do I save a friend on a list ? Where everytime they log on I can see that, and ask to invite to group ?

- How do I have my Brother a low level Human meet me a Level 4 High Elf so we can quest together the low areas ?

Is that FPS normal? Its like that in any populated war camp for me and it really annoys me considering my system(CPU only hits like 80% on the 1st core, GPU sits around 30-45%)

To travel to another zone, you have to run to the warcamp in your area. You can usually just follow the main road south, and eventually it will lead to the camp. Once in the camp you need to find the flight master, pay him 50 bronze, then you can travel to the first warcamp in the other starter zones. You can either have him run down and meet you at the warcamp, or you can run north along the road back to his starting point.
 
Been playing WAR the last two nights now Level 6, and liking the game allot so far, but I also still play and like WoW too.

The graphics thing is weird, yes the overall game is better looking than WoW at times, and other times it looks worse than WoW. Mainly it looks like a layer of vasoline is covering WAR, like there is no sharpness or crisp detail I see in WoW at 2560x1600rez 8xMulstisample all options maxed. Playing like that WoW looks very vibrant the colors are very bright and deep, and the overall game looks razor sharp and clean.

Where WAR looks dulled down in the color department, and very fuzzy looking, like Mythic is holding back the full options or something, it seems this game could really have some awesome hidden graphic options they have not released yet ? I could just see WAR looking totally mind blowing cool if they allowed the full detail like you can get in WoW, with killer AF. Right now just using video drivers to force AA/AF

And the character models look ok in WAR, but in WoW you can wear a million different pcs of gear to make yourself standout, but in WAR all the low level people like 90% the same, and again the character detail seems sharper and more clear in WoW, is WAR holding back the level of detail for a later patch, it seems they could look much better if the game options just went up another couple notches to ultra high quality settings or something ?
 
I'm trying to downloading the patch and it downloads fine then says patch Failed!

Oh Noes I break her :(

Also I never got the promised item for pre-ordering the game :(
 
I forced AA on War yesterday and it screwed up all my character models... was really creepy looking, my elf had no lips only teeth! Why for?

That is because you forced ADAPTIVE AA, in short, just don't.

Yep, turning off Adaptive AA fixes this problem. You should still be able to use all the other AA options though; at least I am.
 
Im having a hard time picking which server to play on what does core, open rvr, rp rvr, on plain rp servers mean?

I really would like to play but i dont know what these servers types are....I know rp mean roleplay which i would like to play, but i dont want to play care bear rp without some rvr..

Did you check your mail? Took me a few days to figure out my pre-order items were in the mail.
 
I like WAR much more than I thought I would, but couple of comments so far;

- Why do MMORPG's or at least WoW and WAR have the same issue when doing PvE quests, you have to walk up to a group of bad guys but they are just sitting there or standing in place before you get close to them, then as you get very near it activates them to fight you :rolleyes: Seems so fake, and lame, so from far away you can just stare at them standing there like statues not moving, makes game world look and feel so fake.

- Graphics, yes the game is better looking than WoW in most areas like buildings and structures look nice, and far off distance and views are really cool, but the LOD = level of detail is very bland, looks washed out or not crystal clear like WoW looks, seems like there is a ultra detail option missing for the game, to make it look razor sharp ? Like the roads and paths look fuzzy or undetailed, but WoW has very sharp detailed looking cobble stone paths, not sure why WAR doesn't have that same crispness to the graphics ?

Need mmorpgs with Crysis ai =] I was running around in War and saw a whole camp of people just standing still, at least in Crysis they are pathing about looking like they are patrolling and stuff... I mean its not perfect but it feels a little more real.
 
I give up on this game, its far too hard to level. I'm in a guild but people still don't want to form any kind of decent sized party, scenarios stick you against a guild half the time, open public quests generally only have 2 or 3 people, there is hardly any keep sieges going on in T2.

Its just not fun, I had more fun in WoW grinding by myself against environment than I do in WAR again other people, its just one glorified PvP grind.

I had the complete opposite experience, so far. I preffer multiplayer fps games mostly, and I loved savage too because it was like an fps with leveling. The pvp + leveling is really really fun to me, I've done way more of that than quests and grinding. It's just fun competition, I don't even watch the exp bar and before I know it I've leveled.
 
I am having the opposite experience as bojangles too. I have seen T2 keep sieges every night this week and participated in two of them. Im not even guilded. My son and I did one just last night, where all kinds of people on order, several guilds and non guilds were defending a keep in troll country against three very well organized red team guilds. The order people were very unorganized as a large group due to being from so many different guilds, so the start was messy. But in the end, after a two hour siege attempt, the blue team pulled out the win. It was a fantastic time, and several white knuckle moments. I wish I could have video taped it....

You sir, are merely a fan or solo games :D
 
WAR is awesome! I was going to roll Destruction at first, but due to the population imbalance, I rolled Order instead. Currently, I'm rank 26 (renown rank 20) and it gets better with every level. I definitely like the slow leveling pace too. The only thing I am concerned about the population imbalance. It seems to be getting better though, but my server is still about 1:2.

Anyone playing on Wolfenburg? I'm Frummps the Ironbreaker.
 
I tried the Beta for this game and was seriously un-impressed. For one the graphics look very dull and bland. I've seen better looking games on a PS2. The animation looks like 1999 and watching people in the distant fight looks like a choppy mess.
Second, the combat and leveling in the game is slow. What's the point of PVPing at level 1? It's level up, get to 40 and worry about PVP at that point. Why frustrate yourself with having to deal with players that are higher than you?

So as soon as everyone's eyes stop glazing over from this POS and a bunch of people are 40, what does Mythic have in store for end game? Just PVP? Please, I'll take my Counter Strike any day for PVP. As for any PVE stuff, Mythic is going to fail and people won't see any good in hanging around just for PVP.

I'll check back in on you in a month when the idiot 40's are rolling the starter zones killing the game for many folks.

I'm not, but I'm not going to pour hours into a game at such low levels grinding away on the same repetitive scenarios and leveling like a snail because whenever you try to join one and you're not in an organized party you're usually going to lose.

It shouldn't take me hours a day, multiple days a week, just to get over a single level because I can't get partied with a good group, when if I could I would be leveling multiple levels a day.

Even when a decent size PQ party forms they disband within one or two runs, I don't see how I'm supposed to level, even to get into a good guild most require you to be at least level 20.
 
soulman901, you even play the game? Because the shit you're typing indicates that you did not. (and I don't even play WAR, just played beta)

Higher tiers who go back to lower tier areas get turned into 1hp chickens... how exactly are the 40s going to gank anyone as a chicken?

Leveling is not slow. PvP at level one allows people who want to PvP to do so as a means to leveling. You PvP within your tier, and when you PvP someone higher level, you get buffed in order to compete, not beat, but at least compete (stay with your group).

Check back when you get a clue.
 
Another problem I have is the client will crash when I am in a large RvR group, and I end up being stuck in a 30-45minute queue. As of 11:20am right now there is a 33minute queue on my server.

You clearly know nothing about this game.

The graphics are varied, colourful and vivid, distant fights have lower quality animations and models to keep the game running well.

Combat and leveling start fast and become slower, like all MMO's out there, you start with your basic skills and build on it, it's pretty standard for an MMO.

PvP (Scenarios and RvR) both get you exp and quite a lot as well, so the point of it is to level up, you also get renown which allows you to unlock renown gear which can be pretty damn good.

PvP is done in groups of about 10-12 levels, you can only play in your band which means if you're below level 12 then you fight other people who are 1-11 and then 12-21, 22-31 and 32-40. You're also boosted stats wise so that any gap between you and people higher level is made smaller, it's not eliminated all togetehr but in general you're going to be fighting people the same level as you.

End game is 3 large battlefront across all 6 races comprising of 4 zones in each battlefront full of PvE, PQ, RvR, and then of course the end goals of the capitol cities which can be assaulted and ransacked to open up more public quests ending with the enemy king. The end game is essentially large scale RvR, but also contains PQ's, Raids, dungeons and all the typical MMO stuff.

You cant "roll" the starter zones, if you attack people in the tier below you then you're turned into a chicken with 1 hit point.
 
Frostex and crew :

Whats the deal with the queues to get into the server? Have they now increased that cap size on the servers since open beta? I would hate to have to wait to play on my server. Is this the case?
 
Brand new small patch Saturday morning can't install = patch error ? now no gaming :confused:

"The program was unable to complete the patch operation. Please try again later."
 
Ahh, here are the WAR Fanboy's coming out of the woodwork. Funny I went to Bestbuy today and saw a full rack of WAR sitting there and two collector editions :p They will be perfect for Ebay to sell to the idiots that clamor over this crappy game.

What makes you think the game is crappy? Did you play the game on release? They've patched quite a few things since beta.
