What about people that just have to admit they don’t like PVP? Old issue for me. Stopped DAOC, stopped pvp’ing in wow, stopped WAR. See a trend? I thought I would be getting the best of all worlds. The population (how people chose to play), thinly spread servers (way too many), and lack of pve/pvp balance did me in. The clunky interface, buggy animations, poor sound and combat clipping/ warping get old after a while.

NOT ripping WAR’s PVP at all, it is the best on the market. However when I can hit up a balanced game that offers a little of all that with 4 years of content and pimped out capped characters, it just couldn’t hold me in the end. I missed my PVE, it is just what I do.

Two films that I have no desire to see, ever! Talk about extreme ends of the movie spectrum. I’ll stick with the happy middle.

I’m not going to give up on War RvR just yet. When I can find some, it’s as delicious as a ham and jelly sandwich.

In its current state it requires first that enough players on both sides show up.. and second that they engage the actual siege mechanics rather than just stand out in front of the Keep and zerg until they determine which side has more players organized for focus-fire.

Getting those two elements together.. I think the rarity of guild type is high. A guild made up of bloggers that are heavily enthusiastic about RvR just might be able to do that. I’m also not surprised that it “was fun in Beta” given the inquisitive nature of Beta players.

The rest of WAR’s population is screwed. No wonder we all queue for Scenarios. This is a game that needs the majority of the player population to jump through the right hoops in just the right way in order to entertain itself.
