Server for Preview Weekend: Isle of the Dead.

[schild]

Fair point.  I notice a big lack of melee on order side in the scenarios. I'm rerolling Merusk as an Ironbreaker.. never played one and I don't wind-up wearing a dress. 

There's an amazing lack of tanks on order side. Also, support. Shadow Warrior, one of the reasons I'm playing it at live, gets great high level support stuff somewhere between mid and endgame. And as one of the few ranged fighters with fantastic roots and slows (even a few good dots), it's a necessary class in a number of RvR areas (and scenarios). Unfortunately, both classes are hideously underplayed. Whereas Destro has ranged and melee all over your face nonstop. /growl. Rant off. Point being, Ironbreaker is apparently great if you're oathbound to someone that doesn't suck nuts, like a priest, another tank, or someone that can do high concentrations of damage to make it seem like their DPS is higher.

[Merusk]

Well, TBH the destro tanks are awesome.  Black Ork is fun and the Chosen looks and feels like a badass, not to mention both have a 2H option that does all kinds of sick damage.  So far the Ironbreaker is a "meh" at best and I'm missing the Destro tanks.

And I don't know what happened between last night and today, but Order is getting its ass whupped in the scenarios.  There's one very organized destro group at the r10 Gates scenario that has kicked my ass 500/~50 for the last 8 I've run.

[Nonentity]

Who is online right now? I want to try to see if I can form the guild.

Send a tell to Non if you're on.

I'm on my BW, Lockdown.

[Nonentity]

Need one more!

Even if you have no interest in playing, just hop in and fly to Altdorf to help out. Why? Because then you would be AWESOME.

[Nonentity]

Bat Country is up.

Until they wipe everything at the end of the day, of course.

[Nonentity]

My runepriest is the most beautiful lady.

Where'd you get the nice hammer?

[schild]

That's the tier 2 renown hammer.

[Nonentity]

I also had a tier 2 staff from a public quest that is more of a traditional staff, but the head of it is a dwarf head with big helmet horns.

[Triforcer]

Are there unicorn helmets? 

[Soln]

So how'd the weekend go?

[tazelbain]

I had fun.  Learned to play Ironbreaker.  Found out my dislike for Bright Wizards was well deserved.  Wish we had formed Bat Country earlier to unlock some stuff.

[Sjofn]

I also had fun, and I <3 <3 <3 lady dwarves in general and lady dwarf ironbreakers in particular. I'm almost certainly going to play one of those as my main in release, although it depends on if Ingmar can make enough puppy dog eyes at me to get me to play a warrior priest with his witch hunter instead.

History supports this as the likely outcome.

I know, and it totally hurts my feminist street cred. :(

For the record, she chose that paladin on her own back at WoW release. I only kicked in the whining for expansion leveling!

[Sjofn]

It's true, I have no one to blame but myself for the paladin main in WoW, at least at first. And now it's like I have a sickness. "Surely THIS time it'll be fun and I will love it!"

[Soln]

OK.  So what about the QUEUES?  Are there QUEUES?  Are they BIG?   

[Ingmar]

I think Barak Whatever, the most populated server, had some pop queues. Isle of the Dead never did so I dunno how bad they were.

[tazelbain]

OK.  So what about the QUEUES?  Are there QUEUES?  Are they BIG?   

Server queues or Scenerio Queue?

[Soln]

I dunno what's the difference?   Waiting sux period.

[schild]

Never saw a server queue. Scenarios aren't really queued per se, so much as you're just waiting for another people to join into a scenario for one to start up.

[Miasma]

It can take a while to get into a scenario.  I was in a server queue a few times but I think it was a bug, they do exist though.  At one point I heard about this crazy idea that to make the factions equal the population would be capped and queued so that the imbalance wouldn't be too bad, I'm sure that crackpipe idea either never happened or was just a wild rumour.

During the first night of CE beta I was in a 15 minute server queue, never saw it again.

During the end of CE beta the scenario queues were hours long (like I was in queue for a scenario for 4 hours).

During the preview weekend on destruction side the average wait I had for a scenario was 30 to 40 minutes.

Basically your scenario queue is going to depend on how populated your side is and how many people are playing in the tier you currently are.

[schild]

Were you in queue for a tier 1 or tier 2 scenario? Also, people stopped playing as much sunday night.
