Did my first WAR today

We got our ASSES kicked...  But it was a fun time.  50 x 50 instanced Fort battle.  My side had no clue what they were doing.  The Company leading it had no clue what they were doing, they had guys as low as level 15 in the warband... while there were folks in their 40's on Standby.  But it's beta so it's all good and it was a fun time.

Looks like healers may get screwed though.   I did 2million points of healing and placed 49th...  because I only got 1 kill and some assists.

    Yeah it seems they removed or nerfed scaling so now in PVP levels matter as where before it wasn't such an issues so it looks like to pvp...... you wanna get max level asap and get your weapons of choices level up asap.

    Wanted to add:  I had zero lag in this War.  Ran smooth as silk on my 1060 (6GB).  I was actually kind of shocked.

    Were you the attackers? I keep seeing stuff on reddit that defenders have a much easier time... no idea if that's true since I'm just spending all my time trying different weapons, fishing (got my first chest today - an abundance of riches!), harvesting (I've grown fond of hemp - even the non-smokable type) so I haven't seen it for myself.

    We were the defenders.  Yeah, we were that bad.

    How was the actual game play like, Slap?  Was it all zerg left, zerg right stuff directly out of any other game, or were there definite group strategies, things not based on mez and stun?

    I still don't know.  The instanced battles sound more and more like the zone battle system from PWI.  It's scheduled mayhem, not organic conflicts like DAoC had.  Convince me.



    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    War was the only organized PvP they had last year. Other than that there was just aimless PvP if you wanted to flag.

    In the past year they have added fort battles, or "Faction Control Points" that take place on the same spot that the Wars do but are in the open world for anyone flagged to go into and can be captured independently from the zone itself and can change hands and have PvP fights there as often as anyone wants to contest them. These are not scheduled and happen whenever. There are no level restriciton for those fights. Any level player who wants to go and fight there for control can.

    The fort owner's faction, which can be a different faction than the one controlling the zone, gets buffs in that territory (+XP gains, fast travel cost reductions, etc.) with those buffs being unique to each fort.

    From what I've seen in beta they seem to be a hit and have fights there several times a day.

    They also added one on demand 20 v 20, instanced BG, Outpost Rush, but for now that is just a level 60 thing. You can queue solo for that just how BGs in other MMOs work. Hopefully that's just the start and there will be more and lower level ones as well.

    This highlights the recent PvP changes:

    It is scheduled.  24 hours in advance.  

    My experience probably isn't the best.  As I said it was total chaos, we had no clue and got rolled bad.

    That said.  At the start you are in your fort and the enemy is in a war camp outside.  After 15 minutes, a shimmering shield that separates the two disappears and the War begins.  There are 3 capture points (A, B, C) between the fort and the warcamp.   Once the attackers control all 3, they can damage the doors to the keep.   Once they get into the keep there is one final control point to fight over in the middle.

    Second WAR went as well as the first one.  This time we were the attackers.   We got destroyed.  

    At least these guys were organized with a  Discord etc...

    But the guys we were fighting are a massive zerg that has 3 Territories they control and have exploited there way to level 60.   It's Beta so nobody cares, but lets hope they fix all those loopholes between now and release.
