    Now to do a little bit of server hopping and I'll be right on.

    Whoo! Need a name, of course.

    Also... I can't help but notice I'm the only one who's even mentioned referrals, does everyone else already have their Manticore/Griffon ._.?

    Ironicaly, I'm one referral away from my Griffon. So if anyone needs one and wants to sub, toss me a PM.

    It's not all that big of a deal though.

    Im still torn over wether to resub, its hard to tell from just t1 really, were i to resub i would bring my old account out and be on my BO whos rank 32-3 so i would be jumping right into t4, however i aint got a clue what server he is on now, i tried the restart thing a while ago and had to move him off a closed server so I just picked one at random.

    Do they do server transfers? Do they cost cash money? Whats t4 like nowadays?

    I am rather annoyed they delayed the entire patch a week to decide if they should remove friendly collision. Especially considering they tried it out once on the PTS with such a small group of people. It really is the kind of thing that needs a lot of testing to see if it is viable.

    Personally I prefer friendly collision, it makes tank walls actually viable. Part of a good tank wall is keeping the other team from getting through, the other part is the enemy getting stuck stacking up in an AOE killzone while unable to fully bring their forces to bear. With the change you just have 12 bws guarded by tanks run up and spam AOE without any need for coordination or getting slowed due to getting in each others way.

    It really is a bad gameplay change.

    I've been gone a year, but does defense of the keep/fort Lord still consist of a tankwall and RDPS sitting in the rafters, pissing doom on the assaulting force as they die to lag? 'Cause that was about as much fun as chewing glass.

    Forts are gone. Well they are still in game cosmetically, but you never siege a fort. Once the last zone caps the pairing is locked. Keeps now an additional extra large ramp on the ground floor, which makes holding the lord room all but impossible. Most successful keep tank walls are at the door itself, but largely end up being held on the very top floor in the hopes of living as long as possible/wiping the enemy.

    If you make it through both doors most keeps are successfully taken. Although sometimes large groups will hop off the walls, and "ass jam you" by coming behind you in the front doors. This can have various levels of effectiveness.

    As for the gear most keeps reward annihilator. However i you own a keep when the zone locks a gold annihilator bag will be mailed to your guild leader. If you own a keep when a pairing locks a conqueror bag is mailed to your guild leader. That plus the insignia system has made getting gear even easier.

    The leveling curve is smoother, there's a lot more RvR (and better rewards for doing it), and I'm not really sure what you mean by your last comment.

    grammar mistake. i just found tier 3 so dull. it good to hear leveling is better. thinking of going chaos.

    EDIT: more questions, how is leveling is smoother and will i be able to bust out of tier 3 fast.
    and is the game still "cluncky?

    sorry i meant the controls.

    i dont have a big problem with them, but i customised everything to my liking with keybinds. pretty much every skill i use on any character is on a handy hotkey around my wasd.

    i wouldn't be a good person to ask about latency, I live in sydney so...

    i can't really think of anything control related that might feel clunky. unless you mean the global cooldown? That's still there.
    I'm gonna do this free trial thing, do I get to goto that Egypt place thingy with this trial?

    no

    25 and up

    next patch, 32 and up.

    Yeah, I did.

    I tried the link referring to existing accounts so hopefully with the magic of the interwebs it ended up crediting you my sub. If not, I'm deeply sorry and credit it to being hungover.

    Anywho, all you Destro players on Iron Rock should add Trencarines (my r10/rr8 Chosen) for some good times stompin' and choppin'.

    I had a few fun 1 vs 1 on t3 in the evening my time. So when there aren't many zergs.

    This one choppa I fought on my witch hunter was embarassingly good. Soon as I came out of stealth at him he went tearing away from me activating his anti snare and his sprint boost. I'm wondering if he's just going to run, then as his size increases I note he is curving around back towards me and I get smooshed by extra rage dps increase.

    Smart motherfucker. Then he salutes me.

    Another time him and a witch elf jumped me, but he vanished into a scenario and the witch elf was alone. She was being all coy and trying to avoid me, but then I spotted her in the distance a bit later and she hadn't seen me. So I went down out of line of sight of a hill nearby and stealthed, thinking she would be heading back over the hill since it was a path back to her warcamp and she was the looping kind of player.
    Yup. I got the jump. Turns out she wasn't so good without her backup. Satisfaction guaranteed.

    Thinking about resubbing to this but I'm curious if on ANY of the servers, if Tier 2-3 are alive at all as far as rvr and scenarios. I'm kind of killing time before TOR.

    I used to love plaing my DoK but I got stuck in a heal bot role given quick deaths in melee. So curious if anything like that has improved too, AKA non tanks in melee.

    Also, are Blackguards any better. I kind of really wanted to play one but they seemed to be at the bottom of the tank food chain for a long time.

    Okay, how they set up the cosmetic item system is pretty nice. On the character sheet there's a checkbox that switches it over to Appearance slots, and you just drag the item you want the look of to the correct one.

    That Jubilee Cloak they gave for the anniversary just became more useful. :winky:

    I *do* notice that by using a appearance item, it'll have to be able to bind to you, so you can't use other class' armor, or armor you can't use yet (say, higher renown rank stuff).
