Just wondering what everyone's thoughts and opinions were on the game so far now that it's been out officially for a week.

I did find answers to some of my questions I had posted in the server localities thread. Duh, key bindings FTW!

In all I really like the game but it feels....like I'm alone except for my guild and/or group/warband there's like no chatter. I see lots of people but no one is talking, WTF? The scenario queue times on my server for T2 are loooooooong. I don't know if this is b/c there isn't enough people playing order or doing RvR. And it's really bad when you group up and try to join as a group, that takes even longer, or so it seems What are the queue times like on your server(s)?

I'm still having the dreaded crash to login/desktop bug every so often. I hear they are working to fix this but it's annoying.

Do you gravitate more towards PvE, RvR, or PQs?

I do really enjoy the story/lore, the titles, and the messages when they ban someone.

At first I liked that the zones were immense but now I'm not digging the running at a snail's pace everywhere. Egads I need a mount or speed buff! And I wish I could figure out the flight path and how there only seems to be one per huge freaking zone instead of multiple.

The auction house search needs some work. I don't like that you can't search the crafting by skills and I don't like that even though I choose armor and DoK I still get crap listed for other classes and things I can't even use.

I don't like that talismans are temporary.
I do like that you don't really have to follow a recipe and instead just combine shit.

I don't like that you have to wait 20sec between each mail message you send.
I love that mail is instantaneous!

I am still getting used to the targetting. I miss the passthru targetting of EQ2. But I do like the defensive target mechanism, I just have to remind myself to switch.

I do very much like the RvR, the reknown system, and the fact that chickens exist. I just really wish I could more of them and not have long queue times. Do they even do cross server RvR or just server RvR?

Please post your feedback and thoughts, I'm really curious what others think. There is definitely something about this game that has a hold on me aside from the fact it's fun.. I just wonder if I'm alone in this thinking

HEhe, the main reason not a lot of people are chatting is because typing while fighting in RvR can be deadly. Plus, just about everyone is on Ventrillo with their guilds.

Overall I'm having fun with this game. It's what WoW should have been when it first released. When I need world depth and unlimited horizons to explore, I go play Vanguard. When I want action packed PvP, as much as I can eat, I play Warhammer. PvP junkies need to check this game out, crafters/diplomats/peeps who wanna build houses or whatever probably won't enjoy the game as much, and I can appreciate that given the fact that they've presented the game as it is from the start. Probably game of the year material here given the amount of people playing, it's VERY successful launch and it's high ratings amongst the community (8.92 and holding steady at MMORPG.Com, VERY impressive. AoC went from 9 to 6.5 in a week after launch).

I'm not talking about chatter during RvR doof! I see MORE chatter in RvRs than anywhere else ???

I'm talking about chatter while in city areas, or PQs, or PvE areas.

Hmm, I think it's mainly due to the community simply being quite busy at the moment with leveling and PQing. I'd say the chat picks up at the main cities where the auction houses are located.

Just curious about another thing....

Has anyone tried this yet? Seems kind of interesting, and I'm continually amused at the number on the banhammer counter. It's over 4k already!
But, the annoying gold seller tells have got to go

Personal advice!!!!

Do as much RvR and build your reknown as much as you can before you hit level 22 ;(

I'm 23rd Level now and it's hard to find good continous rvr going on. Seems the bulk of folks are still in T1 and T2.

Until the bubble of folks rises to the higher levels I'm stuck at 80% into 17th level of reknown ;(

Been going about doing all the 10,11 and 12 chapters of the various realms to fill out my gear.

Love the pvp action and yes the Witch hunter can erally rack up the reknown in Stones Troll crossing. Running that flag and being able to snare opponents and beat them down while they try to run their own flag is FUN!!

I'm really enjoying just about every aspect of the game. I really don't have any complaints!

As far as queue times; I moved from the server I originally started on to a High/High (no queue) server after about 3 days. The difference was absolutely amazing and my enjoyment of the game went up exponentially the more I played. With a game so heavy on RvR and PQ, there needs to be a busy server. I hope Mythic recognizes that soon with their lower population servers.

Honestly, to be having this much fun so soon after release is truly amazing. As the community develops on each server and the leveling slows down, WAR should should probe to keep me engaged for some time to come.

Feh, didn't find out till last night that you can scavenge green items. I was wondering how in the hell I'd skill that up so I could make talismens ;(

Now I'll have to go back to T1 and farm items to scavenge till my skill catches up to T3 ;(

I intentionally stopped levelling at 18 b/c I looked around at my guild and saw I was outpacing them and I didn't want to be bored in T3 alone. So, I just go join keep battles every chance I get, I need that renown!

I do salvage with talisman making b/c it's the only way to get fragments. Scavengers can get the curios and gold essence for you. Fortunately I have a few folks constantly sending me scavenged stuff, it seems the easiest to level up. My problem now is that my salvage is too high, so when I salvage an item it's above my skill level! I'm only at 47

Fild, your sig would give me cause to believe you may have found your dark side.

Good to hear folks are enjoying a new game. Been too many games the last couple years that elicited only complaints upon launch.

I might check War out yet myself, if I find the time.
