Has anyone jumped on the private server (which I wont name even though its non-profit)? Its come a very long way and they are about to release Tier 4. The server population is getting much larger now and its nice to actually be able to play WAR again as I found some of the best gaming moments in both DAOC and WAR though war was terribly flawed at times. Would be great to run into some of the old heads from WAR there, some great fights still to be had.

    Yeah it was really fun. My issue was there were some bugs that ruined it for me like my pet kept falling through the ground over and over. So I made a different class. It is nice that it has so many people now. It went from maybe getting 300 in a day to getting 1100 at peaks, I don't know what they did but whatever it was it worked. I hope they can continue to grow it and fix bugs and such. It's a fun game.

    peaks this weekend during USA time was around 5-600 so it wasnt bad. It dies at night I think maybe 250 online now but thats to be expected. Tier 4 releases in the next couple of weeks and it sounds like no land of the dead super items or insane stat boosts are going to happen, which was what killed the live version so it seems like this dev team really are hitting the issues hard that caused the game to die. Im actually pretty excited.

    Well, it is mostly populated by EU people and the peak is based on their schedule.

    It was great fun over the weekend I like the debolster stuff they added so anyone can join the lower RvR lakes though the ones that are bolstered instead have a small advantage. Its good to see an actual group of people trying to fix what mythic broke and make things more fun and balanced. Another thing I was reading about the server is they are actually making PVE worth it again for more experience from PQs and also gear cosmetics and it sounds like some armor sets that are equivalent to pvp gear sets.

    I tried this also back a while ago, maybe 6mnths tops or so. What I would like to know is have they fixed many of the game breaking bugs with questing and events? The first one I went to of the events was broken you could not even open the chest at the end or pick anything up off the floor in that area.

    So how is it regarding the above now, anyone know?

    Tried it, general chat was horrible and offensive, left again. No, thank you.

    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    they have really hit the bugs pretty good , particulatly the last 2 updates , Most T1 T2 T3 PE working now , Postern door bugs gone etc...Chests are workin now .. altho there is still a bug that falsly tells you , You have first place contribution and won a massive bag ... This is a false System bug and you only see it when you didnt win at all( i believe) ... always check the Winning list .. and bags are mailed if you miss it ..

    Yes I have, its surprisingly stable and well run. Ah the memories.

    i just logged out we did all 3 Tier 1 lairs and had some bad ass 6 vs 6 fighting over the boss spawns. Great times I forgot all about in WAR when it was live. Most of the pve is still buggy honestly though and mobs just stand around but its stable and the rvr is a lot of fun. Most of the PQs are pretty buggy ATM though but do work sometimes. Order seems to have much more working than destruction according to the forums due to them having the coding packets sent to them. But I play destruction and Im having a blast so its nothing game breaking.

    if any old school players decide they want to play send me a tell in game or friend me on /scourne or scourn Ill come heal you in the lakes. Also you can talk to enemy players its actually fun I didnt think I would like that part at first but I get a lot of tells from order players whining about not being able to kill my shammy lol.

    I never had any issues with crowd control until tier 4 level 40 in live so unsure. This server is level 35 renoun rank 40 cap until tier 4 releases and there is balance tweaks coming with tier 4 and not huge overpowered gear. I know the main issue that killed war for most of the people I know was tomb of the vulture lord and land of the dead in general with the over powered gear.

    I actually played a little last night. Always fun shooting some dirty gobbos with my Shadow Warrior.
  • Adjuvant1Adjuvant1 Member RarePosts: 2,100
    Shadow warrior is great. I'm a white lion fan, myself, when I played good side.
