Been playing on an Open ruleset the last few days, its hectic. See some level 20+ players in the T1 and T2 zones, shitting up PQs, running down lowbies on mounts and generally being annoying. Theres no bolster buff in open RvR which really discourages it at lower tiers. Theres none of the back-and-forth pvp battles you get on Core servers because levels are uneven and players pvp in the whole world instead of designated free-speech zones. Even without Bolster, we were able to take T2 keeps with one warband of sub-20s. And it is satisfying to gang up and kill a significantly higher-level player.

I play on one of those RVR-RP servers, where you can be killed just about anywhere. Yeah, it can be rough when a lvl 20 comes on a mount and starts chasing down lvl 12's, but there's nothing to stop us from doing it to them. I picked this server because I shouldn't be safe when I'm out fighting.

When that lvl 15 tank came and attacked my lvl 12 priest, I was able to hold my own until I aggro'd an NPC. Shame too, I think I could have survived him, and even killed him if he didn't run.

Let us know when you find a popular game/MMO where there are absolutely 0 children and the entire player base is mature. Thanks.

I can name one with a playerbase that was 90+% mature - Jumpgate. The biggest problem there was that the European server banned the "American" style of fighting. I never played on their servers though, there were enough Americans to kill on the US server. I'm looking forward to the new game being released in a few months.
 
Quick question: Can you ever equip more than one Career Tactic at once? It seems kind of odd that you get so many and can only equip one at a time...

You get one at 10, 20, 30 and 40. Give or take, but you end up with 4 career slots. Same with inventory bags.

So you end up with tactic sets for PvE soloing, PvE raids and various PvP situations that vary based on your spec. It lets you change your focus without having to do a 50g respec; a healer can use the +25% damage, -25% healing in one situation, the agro reduction in another.

Respecs are still needed to change your overall playstyle, for example the bright wizard can spec for DoTs, single-target nukes or area effect nukes. He will still want different tactics if AE farming, vs AE keep defending vs AE ganking. Theres a nice one that does +25% damage at close range, and -20% at long range, perfect for PBAE killing and less useful for the long-range AEs.
 
Couple problems I have noticed so far.

1) after installing the game there are no shortcuts created, rather I have to create a shortcut to warpatch.exe to launch the game
2) every time I launch the game, I have to scroll through the lisence agreement and accept it (VERY ANNOYING)
3) EAX checkbox is not selectable.

Anyone have some solutions for me?

1) Where do you live? The no .exe file was apparently a bug with Oceanic DVDs, however I've seen multiple discs like this in Maine.

2) Yep, not going to change.

3) Not sure, I know EAX does not work natively on Vista so I gave up on worrying about this.

1. Well it sounds like you created the shortcute, thus solved your own problem
2. No way around that. It will always be there.
3. Not selectable for me either. I have the latest version of alchemy and it still doesn't work.
 
Seriously, are you sure they are not ever going to do away with the scroll down license acceptance crap?

I may never get this game because of that.

They recently got rid of the Code of Conduct, however Mark Jacobs (EA Mythic lead) recently verified that the EULA is a pain in the ass however its not going away for now due to legal reasons. I suspect its going after some time passes, not sure what legal reason they would have to keep making people scroll to the bottom of the page (and you can just grab the scroll bar and go to the bottom anyway).
 
well EAX works in other games liek grid, maybe it is just not implemented for this gamein vista yet?

I'm thinking about going back to onboard sound (its actualy a plug in realtec soundcard anyways)...

In Vista? No, EAX does not work in Vista at all, regardless of the game. Create has the Alchemy wrapper to fake it (only works for some games), however its not the real thing.

That's not entirely true. EAX does not work in Vista because of no direct sound. However games that use OpenAL for audio get full EAX hardware acceleration.
If alchemy doesn't find your game and add it to the list you can manually add it yourself.
 
So... how is everyone enjoying it? My Chosen is rank 14 now. Tier1 scenarios were a blast. Tier2 hasnt been too great, Order is molesting us like a red-headed stepchild. That will change though, not really worried about it. It balances out in Tier 3 and 4, and when more people level up Im sure it will be totally different. Haven't done a keep battle yet, really looking forward to it.

I have a rank 12 Bright Wizard. I have done pretty much every quest in T1 and am currently RR11. T1 was a blast. I really enjoyed the public quests. The T1 scenarios were pretty intense too. So far this game feels like a game I will be playing for quite some time. I have a few friends that are about the same rank. They all love the game. PvP really has that Daoc feel to it which is a good thing. Looking forward to T2!
 
Rank 10 Sorcerer here on Praag. Haven't been able to play much because I've been busy cleaning up and building a new fence. I live in Texas City so I didn't get power back until Friday and I didn't get the game until Saturday. I love it so far. Like WoW but the interface, quest system, and PVP is sooooo much better. I love my class too, the dark magic makes it interesting. Plus it runs pretty smooth @ max settings 1680x1050 with 8xCSAA forced.
 
Really? You like the interface better than WoWs? The main thing I do not like about this game is that you cannot tell what buffs/debuffs you have on you. Oh well, there will be mods and that is certainly not gamebreaking by any means.

It's right up on your character portrait. Well under it. All your buffs are right there. And it shows what has been cast on your target as well.

Yeah for this game I am definitely going to need an add on to show me the names of the debuffs and not just icons.

I have a 22 Warrior Priest and I'm enjoying the game a lot. I just hit T3 and it's pretty quiet since most people are in T2 still. I started playing a White Lion and this class seems to rip people to shreds once you find out how to take control of the pet. I can honestly say I like this game quite a bit for the time being. I like it a lot better than the last MMO I played, which was Age of Conan.
 
Struggling to level as a rank 12 WP. I need to do more PQ and scenarios because PVE monsters are about three levels above me

Weird, as a Swordmaster at level 12 i have no problems soloing level 15 or 16 mobs if they are alone.
 
Is there any way to skip or disable the opening splash screens/cinematic?

My problem with scrolling down the EULA is that it's laggy and hard to click while everything is loading in the back ground. IMO it should be part of the patcher before you can hit play, or between the password screen and the patcher.

That doesnt really help, theyre way too tiny. Try playing a Chosen and twisting with it. In the heat of the battles its hard to remember which one you hit last or what time duration it is :p. Plus, I forget what class it is, but their snare doesnt have a visual... half the time I think my keyboard stopped working. There will be mods in due time to take care of that though.

Scenarios are the way to level. Just go to the warcamp where there are two extra quests for the scenario of your choice. Then you will get around 8k for a T2 scenario (on average), and then an extra 3k+ for the quests.
 
Well here are some hints for people having issues leveling or leveling classes that seem a bit slow. Just so you know i am currently a level 28 marauder. This is what i ran into during tier 2, i completed all of the chapter 5-9 quests, maxed all of my influence in the chaos area and i was only level 18. So i really was not ready for the next tier. So i went out and ran the chapter 5-9 greenskin and the 5-9 night elf and i was level 23 when i entered my first tier 3 zone. For most of the quests it was easy xp and it added up fast. Just an idea for those of you having a rougher time leveling, and it lets you see a lot more of the game.
 
Curse already has some UI mods up for the game. War uses LUA, like WoW did, and so has the possibility for a bunch of crazy UI mods. I've already seen a port of Scrolling Combat Text (by the same author), various unit frame and buff bar mods, pvp killing blow mod, etc. Theres a chosen twisting mod but I havent tried it yet.

Also two I consider essential, autoloot and autodismount, they save clicks :)

I'm a level 12 WP and have no issue with leveling PvE. I just got out to troll country and it's easy as can be.
Prior to this I need all of nordland, Norsca, most of the public quests at least once and a bunch of scenerios.

Just level your renown and then buy it from a vendor. Have you leveled your renown? You can also buy gear with influence.

Level 8 renown and the influence gear is no better than what I have.

Once I got to the chapters that started giving blue rewards, I ran to each chapter to check out the influence rewards. I think blue quality stuff starts at chapter 4 or 5...

I would see that say chapter 5 greenskin gives blue shoulders with wounds/willpower... stats I need the most, so I would max that one out first. Then I think chaos chapter 5 or 6 gave boots, so I did that, etc.

I'll go back and finish the other chapters too, I need items for salvaging, but running around picking and choosing chapters let me get a solid set of gear.

Yeah, I can count on one hand the number of items I've gotten from random drops. A few items I've gotten from public quest loot bags, but the vast majority are from renown and influence rewards.
 
I got a hammer from a drop doing the world rvr in nordland. I have yet to find anything better. It was triple the DPS of my previous hammer. No renown, influence, public quest loot, nothing has matched it.
Just to let you know, you can get killer stuff from world RvR.
