The battlegrounds (were supposed to) push territorial control, unlock access to attack fortresses and ultimately the city if you took 2/3 fortresses. So it wasn't (was because it didn't work for months) totally pointless.
Did everyone in this thread play order? No wonder so many people enjoyed the game for the first few months. There was nothing to compare to BW and IB for Destro. What Destro class even had a knockback in T3? I remember being furious whenever TA popped, Either roflstomp newbs or get matched against 10 IBs and a WL (Before the pounce cooldown nerf) and 1 second into the match order has the ball or whatever and now theres an armor of IB to attempt to get by. GL Hell even just one IB could knockback half of a destro team solo. The Sorc/BW class mechanic was bullshit so therefore both classes were dumb but man looking at the sorc specs and the BW specs was night and day. BW dot spec had like 2 healing debuffs and 2 knockdowns, BW had an aoe stun on Morale 2, shit was just disgusting to look at fire everywhere debuffs everywhere.
I honestly don't remember any Destruction classes having a KB in t3, maybe black orcs did? It was probably part of a chain or something dumb to. Tor Anroc was basically hey if you hated fire wizards and ironbreakers before now you'll really hate them cause there is even more fire and lava everywhere to burn in!
Engineers in beta actually had a respectable sniper build they could utilize for decent burst potential but into release it was pretty much nerfed. They still had some great tools and did lots of pressure damage but if you were looking for a high body count with them you'd be disappointed.
They weren't tanky enough to justify the low burst dmg, so in most instances I was a sitting duck.
Does leveling suck there? I'm tempted to play again, but unlike 10 years ago when I rushed to 50 in 3 weeks, I have no desire to grind a 50 out at legacy experience rates for EMU shard.
I played order cause after beta I saw the writing on the wall with destro zerging it up. So I rolled wl but eventally played all classes.
WP were always better than DOKs, They had an easier time landing skill is if they were melee and their styles did more damage because it was based off a 2h damage and not one 1h. Also they had an easier time healing because their heals delved for slightly more except for the 11 point ability sigmars refresher or whatver which actually have a WHOLE EXTRA TICK for the entire time I played. now i know not much of this really matters but heres the one point that actually does. Smite was the best resource gainer ability for WP, it was castable on the move and gave a guranteed 15? resource and an ADDITIONAL 15 for every target it hit. DOK Equivalent? instant cast that gave only 15 resource if it hit atleast 1 person and no additional per extra target hit. Resource management was a joke on my WP but was a pain in the ass on my DOK until chalices/books and then both were pretty even except wait WP got an AOE detaunt and DOK only got single target. Imbalance much? Not really sure about BO/SM both classes were terribly buggy. Witch Hunters were always better than Witch Elves. WH/WE was like BW/Sorc again WH got a shit ton of utility and even some ranged skills movement barbs healing barbs so much more utility and around the same damage at WE. I don't know why Archmages would have been better than Shaman I actually would have put that the other way but I didn't know enough about AMs to refute this. Chosen were broke and so were IB but chosen got nerfed before KOTBS came out and IB did not before BG came out. So when the mirrors finally launched BG was a joke and KOTBS was as good if not better than chosen. SW were so bad Squids were bad at launch too but got buffed shortly thereafter and became awesome gods of ranged damage. Maurader > WL until they nerfed the way time buildup skills worked. Conc blow used to make instant spells have a cast time so it was actually a feasible way for us to kill WP groups then it got nerfed and WL > Maurader.
SB, I assume you mean SM?
The leveling on Uthgard is the only reason there are only 1000 people instead of 4000 people playing it everyday. Every single criticism of the server I have personally seen is why the XP hasn't been adjusted and if only it was easier to level then that person and 12 of their friends would play everyday.
I would too long as all classes were in anf the 4 missing cities. It the last mmo that I played for longer then 6 months. I enjoyed open rvr zerg hunting or surfing and quality premade v premade sc.. if mj can get this thing uo speed ill be all in I have doubts but iam rooting for him
