    Go to eataine, and follow the warcamp's river to the left. About halfway to the east keep you should see two dudes and a tent.

    Go to whatnow?

    And I'm in tier 3.

    if you are in t3, and the zones are elf, then it may be in Saphery or Avelorn. Eataine is prolly the t4 location.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    T3 I think it's somewhere in Badlands, in the RvR lake near an objective. I don't think they're too far from the quest area. They're everywhere, though, so if you can risk it try going into T2 (MoM) and going on the road leading towards the goblin armory. Should be in a tent.

    EDIT) - Looking for look outs, not the chapter 2 part. Oops.

    Avelorn/Saphery is t3.

    and yes, Eataine is t4. So very, very t4.

    Also, shit. Now I'm curious. You guys are going to make me jump back onto Dark Crag so I can see what the fuck is going on, cause there's no way I'm getting my lowbies on PT up to snuff in time to tackle this Live Event.

    This is taking time away from grinding, grinding that I need.

    Another day and Altdorf on Badlands is close to being sieged again. :\
    The High-elf fort is probably being sieged as I'm typing this and there's only 1 fort in Order hands at KV.

    Where did all the Order go? :(

    Destro can gather 60+ people in one zone AND have more to take over another while Order can barely get 30 at one place. The lack of any fight in Order now is depressing.

    On our server Destro had a Warband camping the area where the item spawned yesterday. So we ganked a few of their stragglers. This got us killed by the warband when they pulled off their camping spot for revenge. Then some more Order showed up and we wiped them.

    Its weird. It's almost as if by placing these quests out in the RvR lake they want us to actually fight each other or something.

    Yea can't find the crates. that's the only one I'm missing. At least there's hope then.

    Edit: I had actually already found a crate, it just didn't register that it was the same one I needed.

    you can if you want in guild but it's a choice. i kinda do, but it's a lot more fun to do on an orc though.

    Orcs are possibly the only race (outside of Dwarves) where it's fun to RP.

    I've seen people try to do it with Dark Elves and it falls flat. Same with Chaos.

    Order didn't go anywhere. Destro came back.

    At the choppa release a lot of destro started playing alts, presumably with their buddies who rerolled as choppas or quit playing due to 1.2.

    Those alts have all hit T4 now and a number of people seem to have come back.

    Welcome to Badlands before 1.2 hit, where destro has a zerg in every zone during primetime ;-)

    Absolutely nothing, sounds broken. Contact Mythic maybe? Or poke about the install directory for some sort of error log? Maybe post some system specs (although War isn't restrictive as far as hardware goes - no crazy shader model whatnot that I know of).

    Before you log in, click the box at the bottom, it says "Full File Check."

    Also make sure you are running the patcher as an administrator in Vista.

    So it seems that in order to get credit for the Liche Priest task, your group needs to be the one to tag the PQ hero first.

    I'm hoping Mythic will walk back on that and make it so anyone who contributes to his death gets credit.

    Also, its very annoying that all 3 quest chains are focused on the same spot in Thunder Mountain zone, while it may be nice to have all the ORvR focused for a while, being on the underpopulated realm really sucks extra hard while this is running.
