My experience as a new player

[Everdin]

T1 is a wild thing and can go from a "I want to leave as soon as possible" to "I could stay here forever". It's very much depending on population on both sides.

The people around go from complete new like you, to veterans levelning a new character and this very much determine the outcome of a fight.

If there are big numbers on both side in open pvp, it's very hard for newcomers to come through this because in this level bracket you don't have the tools to deal with so much damage income.

If balance is one sided regarding numbers, it's either boring or can be frustrating. You mostly have 2 zones open, look for the other open zone in another pairing if there are small fights.

Don't go alone, join a warband, find some guys to group up, in general the people around you will be helpful and friendly, ask them about the game, ask other players of your class about best way to play. Ask again, ask other people, learn the mechanics, the faster you get to know your char and the core mechanics, the faster you will start to enjoy what you do and get in progress!

If you did your first steps and maybe figured out what's most fun for you in this game, find a guild that fits your playstyle.

Going through this game alone is much less enjoyable, it's build on teamplay, the better you communicate with others the better you will be!

To some guys in this thread:

It's funny that people always complain about the low population of the server and then acting like the game THEY ARE PLAYING is the worst pile of s.... ever created.

Instead of helping people here, give them advice how to make the game more enjoyable you ranting constantly, are you really thinking this behavior is helpful?

I really hope this isn't the average experience for new players because it is absolutely brutal. I still haven't given up on playing the game because I was maybe too weak (I was just lvl 8) but I hope it gets better later on.

Hi Warnoise.

I understand your feeling. Entering this world of violence is... violent .
Important point about Warhammer Online, it is a MMORPG, and for the second time in history of MMORPG (DAOC being the first), the second M (multiplayer) of MMORPG takes sense. If you try to play "alone"* in this game, prepare for disillusionment and disappointment. Even the finnest player in this game is nothing if he is alone.

So if you are ok to give a second chance to this game, try to find players to play with, form groups, keep in mind the role of each classes, and how they can evolve together, and then, maybe you will see the diamond lot of players see in this project.

* : This said, you can also play "alone" within a group, ignoring all advantage this group can provide and forgetting all advantages you can bring to this group,which amounts to play alone in the end of the day.

Thank you all for the messages. I joined a guild and indeed things have already improved. Kind of a shame there are so many PQ yet nobody is doing them though. I am already 16 and having fun progressing as i read through guides about Warrior Priests.

Don't give up and ask for help. Use advice for when your guild don't have answers. WP is not easy but mastering a difficult class is a biggest reward in the end.
