I am very disappointed in just about every way.<BR/><BR/>The PvE is very very bland. I had no desire to do any more quests after I had done about 3.<BR/><BR/>Scenery seemed very uninspiring. Does not compare to WoW's zones at all.<BR/><BR/>Combat was sluggish. There seemed to be a disconnect between my actions and what was happening on screen.<BR/><BR/>The battlegrounds were worse than WoW's. Just terrible.<BR/><BR/>What were these people thinking, and how did you stomach getting to level 40?<BR/><BR/>One other note. Because PvE was so terrible, I stuck to gaining experience through scenarios until I got to level 7 or so on my Magus. This left me with a strange feeling of not really having experienced the actual game. I think this is why WoW gives no XP for PvP. You bypass the whole game and it feels wrong somehow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563653272708826682.post-57893352406437954302008-11-10T03:28:00.000-08:002008-11-10T03:28:00.000-08:00I'm with Shiro.

A good system for the second would be something like the last mission in Warcraft 3 (I know it is an RTS, but I am trying to make a point here) where you have to capture all four obelisks before you gain access to the Frozen Throne. Now replace Frozen Throne with important NPC and the two fighting armies of AI units to...well, fighting armies of many players and you have a great formula for PvP.Tom Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674733626174962032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563653272708826682.post-87181690288067031862008-11-07T19:01:00.000-08:002008-11-07T19:01:00.000-08:00Those shining moments where you find an opposing w...Those shining moments where you find an opposing warband is one of the most fun things that happened to me in WAR.

Arena is the ONLY true PvP test in major MMO's today.<BR/><BR/>If you have high arena ratings congratulations, you are a good PvPer. If you top the damage charts in AV, congratulations you suck. There is a reson MLG and Blizz award money for being dominant in arenas and NOT in BGs.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to reiterate this again and again but it is the simple truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563653272708826682.post-71343435008929010662008-11-07T06:58:00.000-08:002008-11-07T06:58:00.000-08:00I remember AV before they made all the changes to ...I remember AV before they made all the changes to it, back at 60... Sure there were more NPCs, but there was actual PvP too. Most of the time objectives got flat-out ignored because it was more fun to just kill each other for 5 hours.<BR/>What ever happened to pvp like that?<BR/>I mean, sure most of the people were doing it to rank up in the flawed honor system...but atleast it was fun.Cronoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169029331868843383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563653272708826682.post-4734645611345466332008-11-07T02:05:00.000-08:002008-11-07T02:05:00.000-08:00It's not only Mythic, but yeah... a good dose of p...It's not only Mythic, but yeah... a good dose of player interaction is needed on every front.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024497755617725448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563653272708826682.post-32491011286669041362008-11-06T20:04:00.000-08:002008-11-06T20:04:00.000-08:00You're right, Mythic really do need to do more to ...You're right, Mythic really do need to do more to make people actually fight each other in RvR.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes great fights break out, but those are few and far between.
