Also this isnt a grinding game that MUCH. I take like 12 quests, go to the red areas on the map, do them all, turn in all 12 at once and I gain a level. Easy stuff Seen it before, but its easy

Only thing I have to say is what I posted on Random Battle Scott. Not sure your EXACT hours but

The guild thing rings true. My only suggestion would be to tap the players in the guild ON the forums, make it known you need groups at that time, that is why we have those boards and communicate issues.

Once you roll into a night or day of keep taking and open objective taking, you wont forget it it is a blast.

Unless Xen of Onslaught shows up and PWNS everyone. Damn those bastards!

I’ve just read that Mythic is opening cross-pairing queues. Being able to queue for all 3 scenarios in a tier will have to help queue times somewhat.

Hey, I’m semi-sveldt and I enjoy solo-questing.

Not as much as grouping, but sometimes just hanging out and exploring by myself is more therapeutic than anything. WAR’s PvE is no greater or lesser than any other Trad-MMOG, really. It’s just not nearly as fun as the more hectic and spontaneous RvR in the game by comparison.

Imagine a rather fat guy sitting at a computer typing this sentence out, and you can image that say, rather fat, guy enjoying solo questing. LOL

It’s not as hard to image as you might think.

How? I queue for a Scenario as soon as I load up, but there’s only ONE available to me at any given time.

I’d love to get to Tier 2+ but it’s very hard to do alone. For me, anyway. I have a very difficult time imagining anyone is enjoying those solo quests. Then again, I always had a difficult time imagining people enjoyed grinding games like Lineage 2, etc.

Tier 1 is essentially empty right now on most servers I’d imagine as the bulk of the folks that have joined up are in Tier 2.

But, if you and I had the same schedules I’d play with you. Fairly certain I’m sick of the WL’s buggy-ness and will be rolling something new this week at some point. At least until Pet-Issues are fixed.

If you wanna see people you gotta queue for lots and lots of scenarios early on. Later on (tier 2.5/3) the world rvr starts to get a little bit of life to it.

I think WoW is the first game where I actually left the game music on. I’m not a big fan of game music personally, which is why I’m not bothered by the lack of it in WAR. I’m more interested in the ambient sounds, they tend to draw me more into a game than some Overture by some over paid orchestra or in WoW’s case synthesized music. But, again, it’s all subjective, just like the PvP or PvE aspect of the game. I like blue, you like red, etc. Nothing wrong with that for sure….Oh My GAWD.

Sorry, broke into a bit of Valley girl there.

It has a lot to do with your frame of mind. If you use to having your MMO’s a certain way, it’s hard to except a new one when it differs. Differences can grow on you, as long as you have an open mind. I can see that you still do, but for how long I’m wondering?

@H00LiGAN: LOL! Ya know, I’m equally guilty in the mornings too. I’m not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. I’ll text chat just fine, but there is absolutely no way I would punish myself and anyone else by getting into a VOIP situation until I’ve had my coffee and a few hours to wake up. Otherwise I just growl and grumble at people, which tends to not make the best impressions.
