has it been two weeks yet
why is everyone on destruction british in the warhammer universe?
>>1556061All old timey fantasy speak is British coded. The empire is German. The orcs are based on football hooligans in the UK so they sound like norf FC.Elves should have probably sounded like some upper class brits, the wood elves sound Irish for this reason.The actual canonical brits in the setting is Bretonnia
>>1556061Warhammer is British

>>1556117the power eminates from his loins
this guy is talking bullshit, r-right?
>>1556126About what? Simply questing(I mean non-PQs) and PVE in general sucks, the game wasn't really made for that, especially how redesigned RoR is.You can still get gear from Public Quests, I think you can get T2 tier set(Keeper) in main city dungeon and then T3 set(Mayhem) in PQs. But you'd need a group to do those pic is related but I think slightly outdated from jan 2023Leveling is really fast with SCs and Open RvR imo. Supposedly bolstering can help you a lot, but you need to make sure your gear is the best possible for you level and socketed with talismans because bolstering just multiplies your stats. Which is weird because how fast you'd be leveling up and "unlocking" higher level best possible pieces.
>>1556130the>paradoxically, you'll get weaker as you level uppart is what I'm confused about. sounds like a lvl 10 player with lvl 10 gear will be stronger than a lvl 16 player with lvl 13 gear due to the bolstering.I've just been chunking away at the PvE quests during downtime and I wonder if I'm fucking myself over.
>>1556137>unless you are equipping a new gear setI think because as you level up the bolstering buff gives you less and less increase, so you have to make up for it with gear stats. It makes sense to me, you can't just sit on your ass with low level gear, you have to get out and get new things.>I've just been chunking away at the PvE quests during downtime and I wonder if I'm fucking myself over.Kind of? Because you won't have Renown Rank for PvP gear. I don't know how well PvE gear holds up in PvP environment. I read that Keeper and Mayhem are ok. I suppose group play helps a lot too.
fuck this guy
>>1556209I KNOW we dont have any Anti-Skub niggers in this group, right?
I have an ale carrier now.
>focus the tanks>ignore the healers>don't protect their own healers>go for kills and ignore the objectivesDestruction seems to attract the lowest iq players
>>1556259>trying to convince Destruction into playing the objective>smoke signals and charades
Guild Vault location in Inevitable City. Has 60 slots.
>>1556281Guild Hall unlocks at Guild level 6.>Guilds level up as their members earn EXP within the game, and as a Guild levels, it gains bonus perks for all members to take advantage of.
>>1556126Nope, it's all correct. Don't do any quests and go straight out and ORVR... If you are level 1 just run supplies back to the flag and generate yourself a ton of points for your zone-based unlocks. The ones for the contested ORVR zones are very good.Scenarios are the best way of getting almost everything you want. They don't offer what you would run supplies for, which are the zone unlocks. But they are generally the most fun content the game is based around because it's on a more reasonable scale.>>1556130afaik the dungeon set (keeper) you can get after you leave the first tier will carry you through into the 30's. the only problem I saw when I played was nobody did dungeons outside of guilds.
where is the auction house in IC?
>>1556391>>1556391
>It saves you crests and fill more slots (head/shoulder/chest/boots/gloves). It’s for 15+ and requires a group to be put together. I actually highly suggest doing this. The run itself takes 30-45min. The hard part is putting the group together.from the gearing link in OP, to add on to >>1556372so let's do that dungeon when we got six 16+ niggas including a tank + healer
>blocks you're path as you try to escape the enemy
>>1556577>Hides in a bush while you die
Why do screenshots look like shit?
>>1556627are you taking normal screenshots or the fancy screenshots? they have separate hotkeys
pve: fun,slow exp, pq drops war tokens, weaker gear, no pvp knowledge gained, need to run dungeons for better set gearorvr: drops the most war crests for best set gear, pvp is getting 1 shot while running suppliesscenarios: best exp, slower war crest gains, better pvp knowledge gains>>1556417I can try to tank later today
Remember to talk to the HERALD (lich looking dude with a red circle thing above him) who hands out some type of current event rewards. I got a shitload of War Crests and still have a 3rd tier reward to gain for the... not the Week 52 thing but the other option that wasn't a Week 51/52.
>Equipments (RvR & PvE)https://wiki.returnofreckoning.com/index.php?title=Equipments_(RvR_%26_PvE)&_PvE)=
>>1556130>>1556372>>1556126>Don't do questsTHANK FUCK.Been playing since last night and questing fucking sucks. I hate moving a quarter of a mile, starting 12 fucking quests and wandering around trying to figure them out and gaining 1 level after an hour.
heh my guy looks like Nier
>>1556749>papa niergood taste
>>1556744Yeah they're basically there for tome of knowledge stuff (cosmetics, titles etc.) or people who for some reason decided to play an MMO all about PvP and group stuff despite not wanting to do those things.
>>1556766The menu is such a cluster fuck and the game presents itself like another PVE game. a little confusing, I honestly would have kept trying to quest if I hadn't seen this post. Maybe the starting area should be changed a bit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrknPD71-OUAll right
Our time has come, PVEchads
>>1556773I think questing up until being funneled into your first RvR spot is fine. You gather your abilities, learn your class, get some decent gear, teaches you PQs which do get farmed at some certain thresholds later on (like ch. 22). But once being guided to that first warcamp, you should stick there. I leveled a Warrior-Priest 1-40 purely questing so I might have a large degree of tolerance for this shit
>>1556786are yall about to queue? still need a tank?
>>1556789Yeah I'm not about this 60 hours of foreplay to learn your class type shit. Letting me queue pvp immediately is pretty sick.
>>1556798>Letting me queue pvp immediately is pretty sick.I agree with ya there.
Might hook up with you boys and give this a try.Question: Is there a Death Knight type of class?Something tankier with solid damage and magic too? Blackguard sounds cool and I love the Druchii/Drukhari in the Warhammer universe.
>>1556832I don't know how much damage it does but isn't Chosen kinda that?
>>1556832Blackguard hereall our skills are melee focued so no proper "casting"we are self buffs and debuff focusedyou can go full tank SnB or 2H crit offtank which seems to be the most populareventually your self buffs can be shared to one teammate https://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36323Have to read the comments for updated infothere might be a newer guide out there
>>1556832Chosen has more magic knight feel to it. Blackguard is >I am going to hit you with such hate that you lose your will to live and get int/will debuffIn terms of dmg I don't know if one is better than the other
>>1556832anti-magic themed melee class. the buffs IB/BG apply to themselves are also applied to the guard target.
What do I dump my renown points into? Isn't it decreased chance to be crit, and something else?

lotsa peeps just staring at a door
>>1556993I think respeccing is free on this server. The reduced crit stuff seems good yeah, I've been eyeing that myself.
>>1557012t1 is superior
real dungeoning going on
>>1557132Jesus how do you play like that?
Oh shit it's WAR's turn? How many of you are playing?
>>15571628 online atm
Did anyone make a /v/ thread yet? We do that for every game and we seem to get a small influx of people from it.
>>1557197we had two
>>1557197We've had two.
>>1557198kek
>>1557153very poorly
>>1557132
can the two weeks be over this game is fucking trash
>>1557398stop bitching
>>1557400nah
>>1557398skill issue
I can't believe there's this many people looking at a door
we won
ah just tell me once you get to playing dungeons and dragons onlinethanks
dude, three bands lmao THREE BANDS
>>1557132So we completed this last night. The dungeon was linear with three separate wings. The quests nearby give you the Keeper PvE set and you need to be 15 to accept them.Any stragglers need a run sometime today/future just holler, I'm sure a few of us will be up to helping out.
>>1557733I can't join for another couple days. Hoping I'll be able to catch up and get in share range. Is getting pvp gear feasible at low levels or are dungeons it?
>>1557928You only got one set option before Keeper's and it's next to nothing to obtain. Then you can >grind PQs for War Tokens to get Mayhem at 22>wait until 26 to start buying the next PvP set (depending on your class and spec)You can grab random upgrades like jewelry here and there per level as well. Just follow https://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=49459
i don't want to play if everyone is quitting in two weeks
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a semen meter addon
>BolsteringAlways update your gear whenever you can so you get maximum benefits from bolstering. Even small stat increases get boosted up a lot."Bolstering works in conjunction with your gear, it's not just a raw stat increase. It looks at your gear and helps boost you based on the gear you're wearing. So, the better the gear the better the increase."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_hs8qIZnnE
>>1558296I hope some of the other guys have an interest in the occasional scenario once this is all over. It can replace some minigames imo.
>>1558306*cracks knuckles* heh, it's finally time to top-DPS...
Ah, much better. The UI was killing me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6nFMLId9cE
Is anyone using the profession Magical Salvage? I'd like to start crafting talismans, but swapping between professions seems inefficient.
very important oRVR tip
https://wiki.returnofreckoning.com/Open_RvR_Guide
Destro worse than WoW players, absolutely refusing to interact with the objective in any way
>>1559401I voted for Order.
https://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53475Helpful AddOn Guide
>>1558296Never bothered with this scene despite checking in every once in a while for that reason. The feverish grind to gear and experience everything in 2 weeks is vomit inducing.
>>1559489I followed this and then spent like an hour setting it up because it displays 3-4 things in multiple places at the same time for no reason and also made the UI behave differently with some checkbox or weird settings hidden deep in one of the bazillion addons.I might just try to redo it and prune a bunch of them because it still feels like a clusterfuck
>change hotkeys on one character>it doesn't carry over to the others
>>1559600If you make a profile any changes you make will carry over to any character using that profile.
>>1559352I'm salvaging a lot, only kept purple and some green and blue materials though. What kind of stuff do you need for talisman crafting?
>>1559695Magical essences are only found through salvaging, other stuff can just be bought.Talismans are quite pricey on the AH
you guys still going are you too big of pussies to play a PvP game for this long?
>>1559493I think only a small amount of players try to experience everything in the time we have, the rest just play casually. It just feels worse with themepark mmos because you're given a list of chores before the game allows you to start having fun.
>>1559713tab back in Sharademon, oil timer is up soon
Is it too late to join? If not, are you niggas in need of any specific class?
>>1559793you're still good to join, level and rank gain is pretty quick.we're kinda low on ranged DPS. most of the higher level people are melee.
>>1559805
>>1559856I found me on the pic!

so has it been fun? I've been too busy with the holidays to start
>>1559930had two niggas in gchat not ten minutes ago agreeing about having fun
>>1559930kinda, sorta
I have seen more players casually type like orcs than I have seen any other collective role-playing in an MMO throughout the past twenty years.
>>1559856>>1559857I'm somewhere in that blob

This nigga is flying
you can come play again, we're owning in scenarios now

Make sure to slot talismans, green/blue talismans are quite cheap for the stats they provide. Also, always be using a 60-minute main stat + armor potion (they stack) when pvping.The AH is quite a bitch to use, so use the wiki to navigate for names of potions at specific levels. >https://wiki.returnofreckoning.com/ApothecaryIf you use the Shinies add-on you can buy/sell from the AH anywhere and save searches.>https://tools.idrinth.de/addons/shinies/
>>1560317>(they stack)the armor potions of different tier do stack?
>>1560317>>1560318Sorry I meant that the main stat+armor potions stack with each other. You can have 1 main stat+armor+renown potion active at the same time.

Five (5) members from the <Banhammer> 4chan.org/vm/ guild are currently, at the time of this post, in the same group and within the same oRvR (or open Realm vs. Realm) zone. When a large group of players run around together, it is commonly referred to as a "blob".
https://www.returnofreckoning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40739useful stuff, with addon customization things too
The fun of RvR isn't RvR; it's complaining about the downtime of oRvR with your fellow guild grots.
>>1559930I really enjoy the general setting and the idea behind the classes and factions. But it's old as fuck and a relic from another time. I unironically believe if this had a modern reboot, and played more like modern wow this would be really good. Right now it's pretty stiff. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing in PvP, I try to participate but it feels like we lose no matter what.
>>1559810I'm thinking of switching off from marauder. I was thinking of trying the Goblin squig herder or shaman. What do you recommend
>>1560406How the FUCK could you even think Orks aren't da best ever.

We're over a week in, let's poll the participants:Was WarhammerAnon correct in their assessment of this game being the best PvP MMO around, or was it only good/interesting for its time?
>>1566049well, it's better than RF
Post sexy druchii ladies.
>>1566049nah, I think GW2 is better today, even if it's instanced PvP is dying, botted and it's automated tournaments are wintraded, and the open world style WvW is pretty shit very much like in RoR RVR, it's simply better because of the combat systemthe tank's guard and other mechanism implemented into PvP with bodyblocking is pretty great in WAR though
What a silly little helmet. I love it.
we should do this t4 epic quest chain together later today. the reward is a nice rank 36 weapon or a shield.https://wiki.returnofreckoning.com/Chaos_T4_Epic_Quest_AnnihilationI'm at step 7 and noticed that I'll probably not be able to complete it on my own.
>>1566131we could also grind the Khorne dungeon in IC soon I think, gives set for lvl 36
>>1566136nvm I'm stupid, I meant the T4 PQ set
>>1566139sure, I'm up for that in like 10 hours.
>Forgot to check the MMOdventure thread during the last weeks of the year>WAR was finally picked and one week already goneOff to a great start... Any class in short supply? Besides staring at the skill calculator, I am going in blind
>>1566129>painted himself red so's he can "go" faster>>1566187If you want to make the most meaningful contribution within a group then play a healer. Otherwise play whatever you find fun.
>>1566049scenarios are alright i guess but rvr is super boring unless it's small groups fighting
>>1566207>painted himself red so's he can "go" fasterChecked for dyes to be even more red but that shit is expensive, I'd rather spend it on the racial mount.
>>1566229All the bright reds are pricy yep, just like the bright whites lolzOh yeah you still need the 16 mount don't ya? How much was that again?
>>1566232Something like 10 gold, they send you 2 gold at 16 to help, I should be able to afford it easily selling unusable gear and questing a bit, I'm already around 5 Gold at Lv14.
>>1566049>best PvP MMOThat would be Lineage 2 for me. Structured PVP gets boring really fast. The massive true open world combined with the simple PVP system makes L2 the wild west of mmorpgs in a fun way.
>>1566245oh shit dude I can give you the 10g if you still need it when you hit 16. that's nothing at all. I can't speak for others but considering the handouts we're given, getting you a 16 mount should be no problem.don't worry about saving or skimping out on gear or drops or whatever. you'll get your mount.
>>1566049Probably the best large scale PvP MMO I've played. Collision makes positioning and battle lines important which is cool. Tanks having a role in PvP is great. The thing is that most fight in rvr are just two blobs of players going back and forth at their camps. The only map this shit seems to not happen on is Praag.
>>1566049the pvp is just wow battlegrounds or large blobs fucking around as others have said but its kinda funny to note how the class design was entirely ahead of the curve and i think thats what makes the game interesting
where the neets at
>>1566674i have other hobbies too...

try witch elf againcheck your Toggle Walk/Run bind because I never had an issue being slowed while stealthedit plays like a much more idealized WoW rogue (still got your 5 'combo points' + finisher) but you can reduce their overall HP stat, you can slow them if theyre far enough away and turned around, you have an ability that completely ignores armor if theyre facing away from you, weapon buff that gives a chance to reduce healing received on the target; it's been a lot of fun having actual utility and strength but very much a glass cannon
>>1567346I'm chilling with my squig herder during dead hours for some comfy plinking. Chosen is already enough high octane melee gameplay with how much shit you have to juggle. I can definitely see the appeal in popping fools as a witch elf. Whenever you're alone and see a witch hunter uncloak, you know immediately that you're 100% fucked.Kind of curious about Swordmaster after the last days of playing scenarios. Seems like they have some very good 1v1 potential and also a good amount of armor penetration.
>Scenario TiersScenarios are divided by Tiers in order to balance the playing field of your opponents. Those tiers are:You can join scenarios solo, or with friends in premade groups.T1: Level 1-15T2/3: Level 16-39T4: Level 40+

>bought the wrong piece of armor>no refund system just making a gm ticket and hoping a janny takes pitywell thats like 90 crests down the drain
>>1568309they come quick with orvr AND you get 5 crests per scout quest in every single orvr area. the only caveat is that you cannot get completion for scouting an objective if that zone is currently locked.
>hit a whole group of enemies>absorb absorb absorb absorb absorb parry absorb block absorb absorb parry absorb absorb block absorb absorb absorb absorb block absorb absorb parry absorb absorb Fucking amazing... and this is low level.
>>1568660TTK gets worse.
>>1568671Can't get worse than this. 7 minutes in and order capped all the nodes plus topped all the charts
>it's another episode of order having 5 bazillion healers while we have none or a fewI mean really, like 11 out of 24 or 7 out of 12 are healers. Ridiculous, what's the point even. I saw 4 DPS players hitting a single healer and it just wouldn't die.There should be a system that starts decreasing your max health so you can't be healed forever. Or just decreasing the effectiveness of heals, and these reset out of combat.
>>1569914>Not only a healer, but also a warrior priestShit is disgusting, deals damage, heals and soaks damage like a fucking sponge. Like a wow paladin but all specs rolled into one. And then there's retards that keep yelling "HIT DA HEALER" as if it mattered when there's half a dozen in the same spot and the entire group doesn't drop a single hit point
>>1569914This came up yesterday in the WB I was in, I guess Chaos doesn't attract healsluts.
>>1569914scenarios shouldn't even pop unless they start with 2/2/2 to begin withBUTtime spent working on the game is time taken away from policing thoughtcrime in chat

>>1570003>pick a Greenskin>allowed to insult everybody and say whatever the fuck you want as long as it fits within RP parameters

>>1569914>queue up today as mara>see enemy team come into vision>3 archmages 3 warrior priests 3 runemasters 3 knights>leaveidc if our team had a few healers as well my ass was not about to try and coordinate fighting 9 fucking healers
>>1570062>try and coordinate fighting 9 fucking healersThat's the neat part, you don't. Even if you had the entire group focusing on a single nigger, it won't drop dead. Reading tooltips in the calculator, there are skills that reduce incoming healing and healing done but I bet they amount for jackshit in practice
>>1570087not him, but I always pop those and try to keep on all the time, but they doesn't seem to do much with 2 or 3 healers there and people not focusing them and timing CCs
>WAR general activeUGGGGGGH now I want to play!!! I took a picture of my WAR box irl but my phone was being a nigger and not showing up through my computer so no updoots for me>>1570062Even low level healers can be absurdly strong. Ridiculous.
>>1570114I had the game too, but traded it for WotLK with someone. Regret it a little.Here is a pic from the early days of the RoR server with a 4chan guild.
>>1570118I actually still have these
>>1570118I played on my own for a month before I went broke because I was shit at money management back then. I did play the beta beforehand and DoK was a ton of fun.
could we get enhanced glory slotted as our second guild tactic?

are these buttons supposed to be working? my pet seems stuck on defensive.
>>1555989 (OP)Fuck I bought this game in September 2008 and played with a bunch of dudes from /v/ back then. Played for a month and then left it like everyone else. Was a shame too, but it was clearly not finished and much of that came down to EA trying to rush it out the door to compete with Wrath of the Lich King (they removed 2 cities in development).So is too late to join the MMOdventure event with only 5 days left?
>>1570711we're switching game this saturday night, so it's probably too late to join the mid-level stuff, where the bulk of us are currently at. we do have some people pissing about with low level alts and a late starter that just reached level 16. also, one anon has said that he wants to keep playing this after the MMOdventure moves on.I'd say try it out if you want to see the game again. the jannies in this are redditor discord trannies with a spiked club stuck in their ass, but most of the pub groups have been pretty pleasant regardless.
Hey, you hardcore PvP-junkies. Are you exhausted from all the dueling yet? Got your ass beat sore by a stack of not-Paladins one too many times? Tired of your dumb nigger ape teammates not giving a shit about the map objective and instead wailing on the main tank until your team finally gets put out of its misery by a well deserved loss? Why not join the MMOdventure in its quest to explore many other exciting and action-packed MMO worlds! You can even vote on our next destination and experience the joy of being stuck in a game that you actually totally didn't want to play at all. Sounds too good to be true?

>>1570118I actually happen to have some screenshots going all the way back to WAR beta.
>>1570830>Got your ass beat sore by a stack of not-Paladins one too many times?I swear, Warrior Priest must be on the top of cancerous classes I had the displeasure to encounter. Even shit like the cheesy classes in swtor can be nuked if someone marks them in time and get focused fire.
>>1570926I've heard tales of archmages being able to kite 2-3 people indefinitely, but as you said the runepriest menace feels much more oppresive with their retarded tankiness. At least you can see the healthbar move when you get to whack an archmage.
>>1570975archmages feel like they are able to fight back however and deal noticeable damage
>>1570975>runepriest menace feels much more oppresive with their retarded tankinessThat too. I lost count of how many times I've seen those midgets just running around healing everything completely unburdened even with three or more fuckers whacking him. Slows and snare and the fucker just keeps running at full speed like it's nothing while everyone lags behind.
Is this pserver still alive?
>>1571521yes?
>>1571540ok. i never played this game back in the late 00s. Which faction or class would be the best for a beginner?
>>1571544>factionI'm not sure about the pubbie experience, but order seems to have the super coordinated autist groups that fuck shit up consistently. You'll probably never get into those without sucking dick in a discord for months, but they'll fight along your side.>classclasses are faction locked. the healers seem very overpowered in general and are probably the easiest to play with some of the add-ons you can install to make the job easier. the dumb tiger bitch on order side seems pretty easy too, you are doing a lot already by spamming the tanky ass tiger and sending it to your enemies.
would you?
this guy has a point
>>1571544>>1571571>classes are faction lockedFor what is worth, here's the comparison. They are not exact mirrors as far as I'm aware (some skills are different between factions).-Knight of the Blazing Sun/Chosen: Basic tank. Can have up to three Commands/Auras to buff nearby allies or debuff enemies.-Swordmaster/Black Orc: Has a three stage mechanic. Some skills raise you to stage two, others require stage two and move you to three, and ones that need stage three and send you back to stage one.-Ironbreaker/Blackguard: Bodyguard-esque Tank. Has a gauge that fills when you or your designated charge get hit. Some skills spend the gauge for bonus effects.-Witch Hunter/Witch elf: A rogue. Build combo points then finishers.-Slayer/Choppa: Has a three stage rage gauge that fills as you fight. At stage two, you deal more damage. At stage three, the damage buff increases further AND your defenses go down. Several attacks empty the gauge and deal bonus damage depending of the rage level-White Lion/Marauder. Both melee, but play different: The first has that fucking pet, while Marauder has stance-like arm mutations.-Engineer/Magus: Ranged attacker that summons turrets/demons (that don't move from their summoning circle kek)-Bright wizard/Sorcerer: A typical mage but with a gauge that makes you crit more and harder as it raises but has the chance of causing a backlash, dealing increasing damage to yourself.-Shadow Warrior/Squig Herder. Same as WL/Mara, but ranged. The SW is the one using stances while the SH summons a pet-Archmage/Shaman: Healer/Caster. Healing spells gives a buff to damaging spells and viceversa-Warrior Priest/Disciple of Khaine: Melee healer. Builds Righteous Fury/Soul Essence required for some skills-Runepriest/Zealot: Healer/Buffer. Gives runes/marks that buff the recipient and gives them a skill.
>>1570926>>1570990>me and 3 other guys see a lone warrior priest roaming>he kills us all 1v4 with no effort and his health bar doesnt even move>get into some sc it doesnt matter>5 people wailing on a runepriest and nothing happens>meanwhile our healers>shaman dies in 2 taps>zealot does something allegedly>DoK needs a PhD to actually heal and dps at the same timewouldnt be surprised if healers being unkillable faggots is why the game, in part, ended up dying
>>1571807>me and 3 other guys see a lone warrior priest roaming>he kills us all 1v4 with no effort and his health bar doesnt even moveuhhh, anon.... I wouldn't be admitting this one in public
>>1571833normally id chalk it up to being undergeared and retarded but i watched him rip a choppa clean in half and two shot a DoKhe was probably some sick fuck in sov but it was still horrifying to watch a """"healer"""" kill 4 people by himself
fuck
>>1569938WP/DoK are one of those classes that feel so much more OP when you're not playing them. They're sub-par at everything outside of being a slightly worse target to go for than a cloth wearer. They don't have the heals to keep a single target alive but their AoE heals are aight.>>1571842Sounds like an absurdly high RR and geared player. A hybrid like WP/DoK will pretty much always win a "equal" fight against a opponent that doesn't have a negative healing modifier

>>1572026I don't think it was as bad back in the day but I'm not sure how much of it is the server's changes and people just plain sucking at games back in the daythe same baseline of losing a scenario because you had 1 healer and enemy team had 5 was always a thing
Nuking down healers is a lot easier with a coordinated and experienced group, to be fair, but yes they're the kings of unorganised PvP for sure.
>people talking about how magus dots don't stack in warbands>multiple people of the same class cannot cast the same dot on one person>assume it's probably the same for other dot classeswew lads i've never heard of something like that in an MMO before
>>1572446Magus/Engineer have an outrageous amount of DoTs. It's probably for the best.
>>1572446>multiple people of the same class cannot cast the same dot on one personYes they can, and as far as I know the damage does stack.
>4 of us hitting a solo lvl 38 IB in SC and it just won't go downI wanna believe the others were shitters, because I am more tanky than damage
>>1572762iron status?
>>1572762IBs are very tanky.
Did anyone put any serious effort into raising a crafting skill? I know we had a few wannabe scavengers and talisman crafters.
>>1572818BROKEN just like the WP that did 200k dmg in a match while our top 3 dmg, 3 sorcs, did ~120k each, or the RP that joined and suddenly we started losing, because he was pumping out more heals than our two top healers combined
>22 overall votes for faction>barely 12 individuals tops played the gameheh
>>1573028And you have at least one me who only saw the /v/ thread and didn't vote
New banana caster spotted. Artefacts because I upscaled 300%.>>1573034I didn't vote myself. To be fair, nobody ever researched (to know about) the seeming huge disparity between classes; and dumb shit like AAO bugged in favor of Order.
>>1573028i didnt even know /vm/ was doing a thing with WAR because ive played the game long before it
o ya re: some week old convo
>>1555989I can't find the guild on the guild search tool
>>1573442it should be visible. what is your IGN?
>>1573458Orcoth (somebody already took Korgoth and Orgoth)
>>1573022>that joined and suddenlythis is one of the worst aspects of scenarios- starting out with a fun and fair (implying) 6v6 that devolves into a 20v20 clusterfuck within minutes has really hampered my enjoyment in many rounds.
>>1573644>20v20 clusterfuckIn any other instance, I would love to have an actual skirmish sized battle instead of two small teams, but having a couple of healers trivializing every single point of damage dealt by the entire group to the point of overkill really ruins the mood, and the whole players having collision thing, while cool on paper turned out to be shit in practice, I get blocked by other teammates trying to gang up on someone more often that I get to see a shield wall stopping the enemy (plus people still can slip through the tiniest crack in a formation).
>>1573974yeah, it's rare when I can body block someone from running awayor stopping enemies is something I only seen in doorways or on bridges and likely by accidentbut when it works it works and great
>>1573469my homie you are in for a bad time if you are PvEing and only leveling your rank.your renown rank comes from pvp and is a requirement to wear better tiers of armor. and yes you can gain normal experience through pvp - be it scenario or open world - to level your normal rank that way.
guild pic and farewell soon
>watch two ''small scale'' groups going at it>go afk for more than 10 minutes>come back, they are still fightingI'm sure at some point they got bored and moved on
>1264 onlinenot bad
>>1574184I played this game back in launch in 2008 up to like rank 25. I'm rank 10 atm with this character I made last night.
these need killing
Maybe I'll come back to it at some point.
>>1573974p sure players of the same faction do not collide. it's only opposing factions.
>>1575199No it's both. Collision only turns on if there's a pvp flagged enemy nearby though.
>>1575195AWOOGA
>join scenario>entire team gets one kill total/vm/ how do i carry 23 other people
>>1575333you should try the shaman masterrace, I've heard good things
>>1575485idk if mork can save me manmy teammates ain't brutally kunnin' or kunningly brutal
>>1575547I feel you, it's maddening to see your team running into a deathgrinder for 8 minutes straight without even considering to cap one of the undefended objectives. I definitely felt my ASSFAGGOTS gamer rage broiling up again in this.
we never completed gunbad!!!!!!!!!!!
>>1575726I'm unironically up for a gunbad session at some specified time. Might need to fill the party with some pubbies if we do that.
>>1575850Maybe toward next weekend once the hubbub of [new game] dies down.
we won with 6 points to spare. not as cool as praecordia.
>>1575718i'm the opposite but only in open RVR. the only thing that matters to me is the fight, because capping objectives just makes it so the fight moves to another zone. annoys the shit out of me to join a warband that's just running around capping shit so instead i just solo heal wherever i see a fight happening. basically if there was a version of battlefield 3 24/7 metro i'd be on that all day
>>1572446As far as games go that's pretty common actually. Lodoss Online instantly pops to mind as one of those games where the dot class was worthless because of it. Well, it didn't even end there. That game was heavily favoring physical damage because there were skills that lowered enemies physical defense but nothing like that for magical defense so stacking a party full of physical damage classes was way more effective.
>>1575011It used to hit 3k regularly.
>>1579855And how long has the server been active?
>get into a tier 1 sc after an hour of waiting>its a 5v5>enemy team is FOUR FUCKING WARRIOR PRIESTS AND A WITCH HUNTER>lose in the most miserable slog of a game ive ever had because every single member of their team takes 0 damage, heals any they do take and our single healer makes no attempt to stay alive and just gets punched in the facethere needs to be a button that lets you skip to t2 this fucking sucks
>>1581607don't worry, that happened to me at T2 too
>>1579855I know, been playing on and off since 2016.
lets schedule the gunbad completion attempt, when are you guys up for that? sunday afternoon?
>>1582864i already uninstalled, go on without me...
>>1582864that should work for me. so 2/6 lol
>>1582864I guess I could join, as dps or tank
>>1582864Can play whatever role you guys need.
