[...] still think they need to work on getting solo or buddy groups into open RvR land with things to do. But, Mythic states that this is just the beginning… again. Seriously though, I am happy [...]

I think they’re coming. As per MBJ’s oRvR plan posted today.

They’re needed in T2 and T3 especially.

I forgot about those contested PQ’s… there again it’s like the two dev teams failed to communicate. It would’ve made perfect sense to put something like that in an RvR lake.

So true.

The best RvR area I’ve seen was in around Chapter 7 in Dwarves vs Greenskins. It was one of those competitive PQ’s, and I spent so long and having so much fun running around messing up the other side’s plans.

I’m not sure if it was an RvR lake or not since I played on an open RvR server, however if it wasn’t in such a lake, they should definitely put it in one. And also decrease the number of lakes, *or* have the NPC’s hand out extra special rewards for going to particular areas at particular times, to aid that funneling process.

Funneling people is especially needed in a game like WAR because simply put… it requires a herd of people to be at its best as a game.

If they can manage that, WAR will be just fine. But they need to get on it quickly.

I am curious of Open RVR servers are better or worse because of their openness. I suppose probably not much of a difference because all quest/PQ content is outside of the lakes anyway, meaning more PVP goes on outside of the lakes than in.

Sadly, Mythic has to funnel. Because you can’t forget the FUN in FUNneling!

My entire guild except for one person who is still playing WAR are now back in WoW. The thing that captured us all in beta was the open RvR and that is non existent now. Not keep sieges (though those are also flawed) but the fighting at the open objectives. It was an absolute blast, and now you can’t find it anywhere. So we all went back to WoW, maybe we will be back in a few months when they finish WAR but I have my doubts.
