WAR is in full swing, and for those that have actually looked at my Xfire profile, you can see that I’ve already logged some 50+ hours into it, not including before it switched over from beta. Since I actually have a game to write about though, I’m going to make a renewed effort to start posting regularly again.
I’ve got a few post ideas in mind, since I skipped covering lore all together for the “WAR Bashup”, and I’ve got 2 stories in the works. Right now I’m just going to start with one thing:
WAR RvR is NOT WoW PvP.
At least not aside from the hundreds of gibbering idiots who came over from WoW that still mill about like idiots. Right, anyway… If you are solo, chances are you are going to be dead, and quickly too. Same goes if you (as anything but a tank) make yourself stand out.  (I.E. On the flanks, up on a rock above the rest of your group, etc, etc.)Â
Secondly, no matter what you do, that tank you are beating on is probably not going to die. Why? Because he’s got at least one healer backing him up that’s going to out heal any damage that you do! Kill the healers first! And in scenarios, amend that to “Kill the flag carrier/healers first!” It’s not like WoW where flag pickup is instant – it takes 3 seconds to actually grab it, and any sort of damage will negate that grab. BEAT THE EVERLIVING SNOT OUT OF KNEELING PEOPLE!!!
Finally, the game is fun, but only if you allow it to be so. If you turn it into work, then it will be work (with the exception of cultivation, which IS work, hands down). If all you WoW kiddies nitpick at it, then of course you won’t like it. GO HOME. WE DON’T WANT YOU HERE.
