I've been playing since the head-start, and I've finally cooled down a bit. My Ironbreaker is at a reasonable level, and the RvR and scenario's in Tier 3 are enough to keep the fun flowing.

I miss Tier 2's scenario's though, but the mark down system never worked in beta, and I wouldn't be surprised if they ditched it for now.

However, the game does have its down points for some. A few players who are new to RvR games are getting the shit beat out of them constantly, usually after doing some damn stupid things.

Witch Elves not using there stealth ability when facing odds of 18-1 (We where all on a keep take, and the WE just jumped right in, tried to pick on the Bright Wizard I was protecting). Tanks who forgo shields in favour of 2 Handed weapons as Keep defenders (and get wiped out in seconds).

But the biggest offenders are the Destruction players who try to assault a keep without a battering ram, but bring along a bolt thrower to break down the door. They'd get better results whipping out there testicles and beating the door down with them.

I'm on Karak Azgal, and I've come across so many WoW type players its just untrue. People who play stealth classes who think they should PWN every other class (As an Ironbreaker, I laugh at the tools who try to back-stab me). People who think there pets can do all the work for them. Healers who go offensive spec and NEVER heal others.

And these people wonder why they never get invited to groups or get repeatedly shat upon in open RvR. There idiots who get outperformed by people who are NEW to online gaming.

Honestly, despite the bugs that have crept back in, I'm still proud of the game, and I'm more than happy to carry on playing it in the coming months. I was worried that after release it would bomb badly, or that it would descend into childish squabbling. As I've said before, Warhammer was my last shot at MMO's, if it failed, I'd leave online gaming and just stick to single player games.

As it stands now, I'm hanging around for a while. I got idiots to kill, repeatedly, with giddy and childish glee :D

AMEN! I agree with you 200%!! I play on White Tower with a Low / Low population but when we do come across each other it is funny to watch the idiots get smoked. There are more order than destros on this server but the sporatic Zergs by them to attempt to take a Keep make it just that much more fun.
