Kegwen had this to say about Pirotess:
The character models and animations are really no better than the original Dark Age of Camelot ones. It's like they took the idea of making their game/engine scalable and accessible to lower end machines and forgot to hire artists good enough to make that look passable...
The screenshots have had me thinking that WAR ran on an updated version of the Catacombs engine from DAoC, or something very close. It has always struck me that Mythic looked for their engines to handle a high density of players without ever choking up, and forsake some of the pretty details. Though I have always hated the danm animation scaling.
Actually the WAR looks to be a nice compromise between WoW and say EQ2/SWG's engine

Pretty sure they did. That your freak-ass computer doesn't handle it well doesn't mean much.

I'll give it a shot though if they run a 10/14/whatever day trial.

You wouldn't like WAR, it isn't retard-friendly. Which is pretty much the only kind of person that would enjoy Age of Conan past level twenty.

The game's a lot different after twenty, that's for sure. I've found a pretty decent RPing community and the game's based off my favourite books, so I really can't get enough of the lore.
The setting is a lot grittier than most mmos I've played, which I also like. I'm pretty sick of classic high fantasy type settings too, I fucking hate elves.
So...yeah

Are they going to unveil the game's full graphical settings anytime during open beta or will I forever have this negative impression of the game
Supposedly the high quality textures are supposed to come with the retail box.
I don't know I believe that or not, but there ya go.
Though I guess as a Runepriest, I'm a bit jipped due to complete lack of tanks.
Or melee dps for that matter.
Also, I'm kind of surprised that those Arch Mages even did any healing. They're like shamans, where they think that their little laser beam spell can actually kill someone. Willias fucked around with this message on 09-10-2008 at 11:02 PM.

Oh no I failed at computer gaming
I have not had much luck with this game in terms of RVR even though I have alot of PVP game exp.

Are you doing so good because most of the players are un-experienced or are you exploited something during the testing part of this game?I have not had much luck with this game in terms of RVR even though I have alot of PVP game exp.
You've got to remember that WoW tactics just don't work in WAR. WoW claims that it isn't based around 1v1, yet routinely forces you into situations where you are in 1v1.
What class are you playing?
Fucking Kraka Drak had queues when I first rolled here, now it's a ghost town.
The siege engines that people made a big to-do about are basically worthless. The damage they deal heals automatically before it can reload, so they're basically only good for taking down oil...which requires only a few seconds of attention to repair totally.
I did notice that once I got 10+ I was doing alot more damage and was more useful in battle.
I know it isnt a favorite here but I am used to playing Shadowbane for PVP. WAR to me is almost as good since there are no exploits or cheats obvious in RVR..but it is still something for me to get used to. The graphics for me are great compared to SB.
I was just asking because I know PVP has alot to do with teamwork and also the person playing.

Shadow Warrior.
The idea that you can PvP from level 1 is kind of misleading. You can, and your HP/Damage will be bolstered considerably, but to be a true threat you need abilities...especially if you're a DPS or Tank class.
Shadow Warriors are ranged DPS, so you just need to focus on three things:
1) Hit the healers, wounded or any DPS that isn't paying attention to you.
2) Run away from melee DPS or tanks.
3) Stay with your group, protect your healer.

Something I noticed the other day while bolstered, and I don't know if this intentional or not, but abilities aren't bolstered as much as your rank is. Say you're Rank 12, and you participate in Tier 2 activities. Your rank is bolstered to 18, but your abilities will only be bolstered to around 15. This makes you weaker than an actual Rank 18 character.

Somebody pointed out to me that the Witch Elf class symbol as it appears in the Scenario Summary looks like boobs. Is this really the case or are we just terribly Freudian?
Honestly it looks deliberate. A lot of witch elf NPC's actually do have marks on their tits like that.
This game stinks.
I still don't know which class to play 
Ironbreakers look so own but so do every other class.
