Thread: State of PvMP

How is it on here? Haven't played PvMP in a while since wargslaver is locked to me now and I dun like reavers. And I'm not high enough level on my burg(will be getting VIP again once I hit cap) to roughhouse with you all yet.

For 795TP, you should be able to unlock your warg. Or unlock any of the other creep classes (just don't forget about the WL bug which causes WLs to be unplayable for whatever odd reason!)

Anyways, there's been a lot of back-and-forth action in the Imladris moors, some keep flipping, freeps hiding in EC, gank squads in HH and Grothum alike...some ta lawn fights, very few open field fights but they do happen.

If you don't wanna spend any TP to unlock any of the classes, I suppose you'll have to wait to go vip again (you'll need to be vip anyway to bring your burg into the moors!)

Oh, and there's been a bit of a population explosion of wargs on Imladris...another point to consider possibly unlocking another creep!

Been enjoying Imladris PvMP. I see a lot of complaints on glff and creep ooc about not enough action, but I think the moors has just the right amount. It's not a constant explosion of fights everywhere, but good movements and tracking on both sides that allows wargs and burgs to shine, as well as other classes.

As Hek said, been seeing a warg population increase, so trying something new might not be a bad idea.

I logged my creeps for the first time yesterday since about November. I was kinda disappointed at the lack of fights going on (there was one big fight that lasted about 15 minutes, but after that there was nothing for the rest of the day). Maybe it was just because it was a Tuesday...I'll keep trying.

It also takes a while to know where to look and when. :P

I heard about the warg-splosion. Who knows, maybe I will try and rank a reaver. Or possibly my spider, even though the camera is horrible. D:

As if you ever got beyond t2 quest.

HAI MOSTO are you playing on Yak's Bend with Dani this (beta) weekend?

V get your butt back to Imladris

I did too
Meanie.

But yes, come back :3

Oh, never mind, you meant Mosto. Yeah that noob never beat t2 >.>

I had t2 on farm mode, to easy! No I'm not doing GW2 Beta, SWTOR Beta had me over excited for the game, and until this latest patch, SWTOR was basically four months of live beta. Still enjoyable though, but might make a splash appearance in LOTRO to do some Fornost with June. Won't it be lovely to acquire all this new gear needed..

@ Evelline & June - Aww, you guys. <3 I still hop on every so often to say hi!

@ Mosto - Sad to hear I won't see you, but with all the connection problems, I probably wouldn't have caught you online anyway. I'm using the beta as more of a stress test for my pc than anything.

Do you still use Ray's vent btw? Last time I hopped on (which was admittedly a long time ago..) no one was around really. :<

Lol from what I've seen the few times I've popped in, the only people using Ray's vent are Ray and Tog

It's mainly used by Tog/Gal and their warhammer buddies, and I only hop in that vent if I'm playing with someone to communicate with them. I was in there last night with Gaudere, guess I should've told you June.

"Venture to the fields of the North Downs to explore the revamped instance of Fornost, featuring substantial improvements to both graphics and gameplay. Once a great stronghold of Men, Fornost was amongst the last cities to fall to the Witch-king of Angmar. Forgotten for hundreds of years, Fornost has become infested with servants of the Enemy. With Update 7, Fornost will be split into four separate instances with two levels of difficulty for groups of six players from level 30 to 75."

Mosto, June, your prayers have been answered.

V did you and Dani end up playing on Yak's bend? Cause I was playing on there too. I was only able to play sunday, I probably wouldn't have run into you guys anyway. Next BWE we should all play together. Mosto, where you been? Did you quit TOR?
-Turv

TURV HI Haven't seen you in forever!

I spent all of Friday trying to connect with zero success, and then when I was finally able to get past the server selection screen on Saturday, I realized that my pc is really awful. Like, I am pretty sure it's some sort of toaster oven and not actually a pc. I won't be able to play until.. well, maybe live.

Dani was able to play and he seemed to enjoy it! I bullied 4 other people from Imladris into going to Yak's Bend and I didn't even get to see them, QQ.

No, I still play, albeit not very often. The queues are now unbearable for that server. Until they allow transfers or do a server merge.. it's just downhill for server population.

I'll probably skip GW2 altogether. From what I've heard, it's mixed feelings, and from what I've seen, it's same old same old. I had high hopes when I seen "Elder Scrolls Online", then further read it's being built for the heroengine used by SWTOR. All hopes, were then smashed and torn.

Sorry to hear about your comp V. Please let me know where you end up playing come live cause it would be awesome to start the game off with a few friends. I personally loved the game and can't wait. What class are you interested in? Mosto I don't know who you have been listening to but I have heard almost nothing but positive feedback from the BWE. You should at least see if you can't get into a BWE and check it out for yourself. On the matter of TOR, you should try queuing with Ataraxia sometime. We actually have a solid group of skilled players, we pretty much roll everybody except for Brutality. Hope to see you around.

What part of Guild Wars 2 looks same old same old? They've pretty much built a new MMO from the ground up. After playing the beta I can safely say it is actually a new MMO. Mosto, you'd love the structured PvP. No queues to wait in, just find a server to join. Its much more like a Call of Duty set up where you see a list of servers, the population, and even the map currently being played. you select the server (or just click "play now") and you're in. It even auto balances teams to make sure you aren't outnumbered just because someone on your team leaves. I also love that it rewards skill rather than time spent playing. No more "I win because I had the time to grind out the best gear." You win because you're better. There are still class balance issues, which brings me to another point. I've been in many MMO betas in the past, and its rare to hear from the devs other than a quick "the servers will but shut down for x hours." ArenaNet not only actively responds to feedback on the forums, but they played alongside players in the beta to get direct player feedback.

Sure, I was excited for TOR (Mostly because it was Star Wars) but I always felt like it was just another MMO. I don't feel that way about GW2 at all. I suggest giving it a shot, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Also, with no subscription fee you won't have to feel obligated to play it just because you're paying for it :P

I've been asked to join almost every guild on that server, and I have no desire to play with any of them. Not even Hoth, who is by far the only real good rep pvp team left on there. (No offence). :P

MMOs are all the same, it's just the pixels and combat style that makes it feel different. At the end of the day, it still comes down to using the skills they give you. I haven't played and have no intention of playing GW2, and yet I've known pretty much everything you stated before betas went live. (Just wait until micro-transactions hit.). And if by chance I find the time to play the game, you'll know, when you see "Matchless" attached to my name. ;P

SWTOR has never disappointed me, I thoroughly enjoy playing it. Once Bioware allows transfers/and hopefully merge some servers and get rateds out, I will actively play it more. Until then.. work, and game of thrones - winds of winter can't come soon enough.

This is a sweeping generalization, but ok lets go with it. Pong and Skyrim are the same because at the end of the day, it still comes down to the controls they give you. Gonna have to come up with a better explanation of why they're the same

What effect will cosmetics, mini pets, and XP boosts have on structured PvP where everyone has access to every type of gear, mods, and weapons available to their class?

I assumed by your reaction to TES Online being on the same engine as TOR, you weren't satisfied with it. Why so disappointed with TESO then?

Anyways, to each their own. Have fun in TOR!

I'm not saying join us, I'm just saying it would be nice to queue with you, its been a while . I beg to differ about Hoth being the only real good rep pvp team, you may have not seen us lately but I think we have become quite a good team. I'd say we're almost as good if not as good as Hoth. Either way it would be nice to do some WZ's with you at some point . Oh and Dani let me know where you play next BWE.

@Dani
The reason I had lessened hopes for TESO using hero engine is because the engine is not capable of open world pvp battles. In essence, if the coding variables of open world result in the same effect SWTOR had in Ilum (unable to handle several people/animations in a open world environment.), then the three faction pvp build up is already dead. That is what I meant by the hero engine disliking. :P

If I'm online - sure. I'm pretty busy until July/August, so you probably won't see me around much in SWTOR. Spacejunk's pretty cool, glad you settled in with that group.

Note: Forums are seriously screwed up for me tonight for some reason.

Sure, just send me a private message with your email and I'll let you know where I end up.

Well, I can understand that! Illum was one of the biggest let downs for me in regards to SWTOR.

Just send me a pm or something if you (any of you) want my email address, that's the best way to keep in touch with me.
