Warhammer online

Is it any good?

I'm downloading the 10 day trial as we speak. Would any player mind telling me whats left and whats right?

[Protagonist]

I love the Game but it is practically Ruined by lack of players. WAR needs a big player base to run correctly since it is RvR based... When you do play, join a high population server because low population ones give you no PvP and u need to PvE forever. If the player base would increase it would be a great game but with the low amount of players the starting Public Quests (which are great fun if people are there) and Instances (once again, great fun if people are there) are barely ever completed.

[Haakon]

Thanks buddy


Is there a warhammer community on TWC?

[Enemy of the State]

I played, but the game has a huge problem. They overestimated the ammount of players they would get, and made too many servers. There were too many even when they had 1 million players, now the number is down to just 300 000 and most of the servers are totally dead. Unless they merge servers, the game is pretty much worthless.

[Haakon]

Tried it for 20 minutes. No chance of getting a sub. It was mindless grinding from the first moment. How utterly dissapointing

[Giorgos]

I've been playing it since realease. Gave it up 3 weeks ago due to lack of interest in T4. Endless repetition and renown farming. Thanks but no thanks. It was good from T1 to T3 but epic fail after that.

Lately there have been many server mergings which made things a little better, but the T4 repetition mess remains.

[Edelward]

All servers have good population .Merged few weeks before.The guys who remember that played very different game. I have 12 chars so I probably would play very long time yet before they all get 40 lvl.I like tier 4 -huge maps etc .Grinding never grinded anything you get xp and renown,influence for killing enemy players and that hardly called grinding in my lexicon.Grinding was in WoW where I spent 3 months to collect all epic gear and then expansion made it all useless.
New classes have arrived-slayers and choppas.An expansion was announced couple of days before.Game became cool for last six months imo.

They've still not merged servers?

Played it at release and stopped after a couple months when was a 32 IB. Balance seemed terrible at that stage, combat was slightly on sluggish, and it was a massive scenario grind. Likewise, the Destro/Order balance was terrible. Keep sieges were great, but then they'd just turn into a massive zerg, lag your computer to death, and you'd be standing there wondering what the hell was going on.

Had a lot of potential. No idea if it's improved since, but it's a real shame with some of the promise that game showed.

There is no grinding in WAR, its epic but you need to play RvR like SCs and orvr to have any fun. For the people that said its grinding is becuase they didn't see the button that lets you join SCs

[Edelward]

Yes,exactly,my idea .
Either joining scenarios or open parties,warbands .Ypu check purpose stated and free to join or leave without hassle or explanations.

Otherwise, I think that with new classes number of players increased,both
joined or re-activated accounts.

Scenarios for me were the grinding.

Playing the same scenario over and over again because no-one queued for anything else is a grind. When you hit level 30 and have done virtually nothing except Mourkain through the teens and Tor Anroc through the 20s, only to find you had another one to grind 30-40 on is a flat out grind. Quests didn't give even remotly comparable XP, and PQ's were completely deserted.

[Edelward]

and PQ's were completely deserted.

Well ,now they well-filled with numbers of parties and warbands .For Friday-Saturday I got 6 epics on mine new carrier Slayer for defending
keeps and taking battlefield objectives in Marches of Madness-Barak Varr ,Troll Country-Ostland.
They would have to re-open few servers for on last tier on Saturday night- Sunday was overcrowded by 40 lvls getting like 200 on every side
like 400-500 total on last tier contested maps.I don't know why they closed K-Hirn, with stable community and then released popular carriers
which attracted more players.

When you hit level 30 and have done virtually nothing except Mourkain through the teens and Tor Anroc through the 20s, only to find you had another one to grind 30-40 on is a flat out grind.

Hmm there're 3 scenarios in teens ,6 scenarios in 20s and 9 sc in 30s ,plus special scenarios when capitols are besieged.Yesterday on lvl 19 I got 40 K xp ,rested , one scenario 15 minutes/Doomfist Crater/ + two related quests to it,which is exactly circa 25% of experience required to get to next level is that grinding ?

Its a PvP game not a PvE why buy it if you don't like its main feature. oh well thats what you get from WoW players

Your experience is too old even to consider now days.All scenarios come now and that already had been fixed for long time before.

And to other poster no -first because when pps get tired of new carrier,devs would implement something new,probably,even releasing third faction like Skaven.Why not they get three sides in DoaC.
Warhammer tabletop and fluff has too many fans .WAR would be all right before something new and big like DoaC II or WoW II or W40K online will make entrance.

yeah thats the biggest thread, asking for the Skaven. For me i want bretonnia

[Wheelchair]

Meh, I went from WoW to WaR

WoW: Strength is the community, LARGE player base

WaR: GREAT PvP, Alot more fun then WoW's =[

[Edelward]

I really don't know but since coming expansion called
Tomb Kings it might add new undead race
they got Lich priests and scarabs scorpions they are part of Undead Army
in tabletop lore
/edit/ ... no, I guess they won't implement that, only instances something...

Only those Scenarios i mentioned came up, nothing else. Doing the same Scenario constantly until you hit the next tier is definetly grinding in my book.

[Mangerman]

WAR has had a short burst of returning players because of the recent Slayer/Chopper classes, but that will probably die down again when people get bored with those classes and they will start looking for new pastures again.

1) I am a PvP player. I was waiting on WAR for ages hoping it would finally be the perfect MMO. It wasn't.
2) I don't play WoW. TBC killed the game for me. BGs wern't great PvP before, but they were fun. Arenafest is a boring cookie-cutter tournament filled with imbalances.

So far the most enjoyable PvP i've seen is GW. Problem is unless you're in a high end Guild there's no real conviction to keep playing.

The Scs you said aren't eve the most i play, don't know why you were unlucky.

Pisst oRvR is better then GW,
