Here are a few (fun!) marauder tid bits.

1 : If you find a blue piece of chest armor as a marauder, it's most likely a cheerleader skirt.

2 : At level 20, you become an insurmountable force of destructive power.

I don't think I've made a post in this thread in awhile......  I didn't know how to turn off UI for these pictures but I uh finally figured it out.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying the game so far.  The only problem is everyone seems to be mostly in tier 2, so there's no one for tier 3 scenarios!  Our guild just hit #1 highest ranked on the server, too!

Everyone has that cloak. It's like THEBEST appearance upgrade for your character so once people knew how to get it, EVERYONE went for it. Like in WoW if there was a helm you can get at like level 19, you could sell that shit for anything you wanted and people would buy it because they are desperate to make their character look cool. Helmets on my server are ridiculously expensive on the AH because everyone wants one.

man playing a chosen is best in rvr, i literally do not die unless theres hundreds of order on me or like 3 bright wizards. i end up top on damage even though i have terrible dps just cause im alive for so long i can continuously run riot in the enemy lines. also i love the repel ability, i love throwing people off cliffs. can finally kill bright wizards now too, i've got champions challenge (freezes us both in place). juggernaught at level 18 as well, thats awesome, snare removal.

game is gr8 fun so far.

im hoping they will fix sorcerer's because it is pretty stupid that they and BW's have a few spells that are the exact same but the Sorcerer one takes 2s to cast and the BW one is instant lol.

a lot of their spells are like this actually. :(

the BW AoE silence is instant!
the Sorc AoE silence is 2s to cast.

:[ mythic plz be less stupid with your analog classes, thnx

This is a common case among most class comparisons actually. But it is usually made up for in a different area, though most of the time it is pretty dumb and just not a good tradeoff. 90% of the Rune Priests abilities are in some way superior to the Zealots, higher numbers, longer range, lower cooldown time, lower casting time or something like that. In exchange for this the Zealot gets a semi-useful debuff (but this debuff limits some spells even more, a Rune Priest can just use the abilities, a Zealot has to debuff people to be able to use these other abilities on them).

I'm having a real hard time enjoying this game.

Once I got to chapter 3, there was literally NOBODY left in the greenskin zone, so I had to go to Empire vs Chaos, as the queues were faster there so everybody was there. But even then the actual world was still pretty deserted. But that was ok, I still managed to have some fun in Nordwatch and stumbled upon the occasional open party doing a PQ.

But now that I'm in Ostland, it's a lot less fun. I can NEVER go back the the tier1 RvR (which is pretty ridiculous, unless I'm missing some way to do it), and Destruction has yet to win Stonetroll Crossing while I've been in the bracket the last few days. So I'm pretty much stuck at renown rank 9 since there's very minimal renown involed when you're get your dick stomped. Top it off with the fact that the actual world is once again deserted so I can't even grind out influence gear within a reasonable time.

I really hope it's just the server I'm on (Be'lakor) but it said there was both high Order and Destruction populations when I rolled on it. Can anybody reccomend a server that is actually very populated on Destruction? I'm kind of pissed that I'm paying a monthly fee to play by myself.

its an early game, everyone is taking their time trying out all the classes why you're rushing to the end game. most of the servers are barely to tier 3 yet in a sizeable amount

also technically you aren't, this is still the free month period.

lol xD

he said Chapter 3 not tier 3.

Also there's a bizarre difference in server populations. Azazel, the server I'm on, has queues whereas some NA servers are LOW POP at prime time. For a game with a relatively low number of servers in comparison to say, WoW, it just seems odd.

Also quest content is severely lacking. You shouldn't really blow through a hub and get like half a level. I know the point is the grind public quests and run scenarios on a regular basis too, but is it too much to ask for some more PVE content while you're in the queues (besides the group centric PQs). I don't like doing PQs solo but if I'm queued for a scenario in a group, my group is usually spread out around the world and I can't join a warband for a local PQ.

oh i thought he said tier 3 my bad

idk, greenskins aren't popular, but again a lot of people are experimenting and CHAOS & EMPIRE are the two really easy races to CONNECT with...since they're human! so hopefully that'll even out
