Re: Xrealming has completely ruined this game

This whole "get a gud guild" thing is just denial of the core game system problems. For the record there are only two warband guilds out there that I have observed ("Jempire" and "Freebootaz") that will actually fight when the odds are stacked against them. All the othe...

Re: Xrealming has completely ruined this game

Do people x-realm to the winning side? Probably, but you probably shouldn't care because those who do are typically of little impact in RvR besides being a body. Sorry if this offends anyone. Generally speaking I agree with much of what you wrote, but wanted to point out it does matter. Those extra...

Re: Chosen and new ability system

Small buff chosen. New tactic looks good -10% avoid on target (sadly no slots for deamon claw anymore) I don't know if this only applies to Chosen but there is a bug or a deliberate change when changing Guard ability. It now requires double-clicking the skill. That is how guard used to work on live...

Re: The "Mistake" free META

Now I'm not the best player this game has ever seen but I've played both sides extensively in all my characters and accounts and here is my number one complaint. Everyone is so worried about what their "friend's alt" will get on the other side the they don't push for a win... "We can...

Re: Lots of Numbers: ORVR last 7 days

Interesting I would have thought sword master had the most kills, and kill to death ratio of the tanks. I can think of lots of mechanics reasons why not. However, probably the biggest reason is Destro has a surplus of tanks and a better melee blob on average. The surplus means more are roaming in s...

Re: remove surrender or add penalty

not exactly. On live i played almost fulltime on scens and there were not surrender so each scen was 15 mins. But you got safe spot for healers so rest could push while got guarantee heals and guard kills gain 2-3k /or even more/ renown on high rr players. So u got some reason try try to fight and ...

Re: remove surrender or add penalty

Once upon a time (read live), "scenarios" actually had multiple different ways to go about winning. Some were better than others (and some were horrible), but they strove to provide different challenges. The devs have steadily turned them into murder box simulators where all the action is ...

Re: Fun and decent ranged classes?

Magus (single target) - played one and been victim. Actually one of the best roaming classes but you need to plan ahead. Sorc - have not played but been a victim. Yeah they blow themselves up but nastiest single target TS deleter around. SH - have not played but been a victim. Really dangerous to cl...

Re: War crest gain too low

The pacing on crest gains seems to coincide pretty well with hitting RR80 atm. My latest character to get to full Sov (my WH) was able to get there at RR79 and I purchased every RvR set along the way i.e. no PVE at all. I have the complete opposite experience but I suppose if you solo a lot and man...
