Thank you for participating in [RP That Way]’s first Social Experiment: Search Engine Hits

This post does have a purpose, however. First, my girlfriend’s plane left today to go back to school. So I’m back to full-time WAR. Second, to say I got my Annihilator chest piece on Sunday afternoon in a 1-hour stent of playtime, by happening to arrive at a 10-man keep push in which I placed 6th. Helik is now 35/30.9

Finally, I just wanted to bitch a little about the things that hold back WAR, as discussed by bloggers & guildmates.

1) The Community: The people themselves have changed. It is a new age. Though discussed by many bloggers over quite a length, I believe Ysharros says it best. What happened to guilds that were once more. Social Networks, Tribes, Clans, dare I say… families! Yes indeed, once there was a close connection between guildmates. Something that transcended individualism and selfishness and greed. This is a problem running rampid through many games, and could prove quite difficult to fix.

2) The Terrain: This was a major discussion in <Knoxious> a few nights previous. While there are a few keeps with interesting and even defensable terrain, the great majority of them are more or less a field, a door, a small patch of land, another door. There are no defensible positions, no strategic ambush/holding points. Nothing. Just a door, a tiny run, and another door. Pathetic at best! Not only does the terrain need work, but the points of entry/siege weapon system as well. Destroyable walls? Perhaps ladders and ropes? Formidable and perhaps scaling NPCS would solve the problem of this allowing small-group keep entry. The structure itself, perhaps, could be reworked to be more defensible as well. Too much work, Mythic? Well, then your game is probably going to get boring and redundant in a huge hurry! At LEAST formidable NPCs, so that keeps are not simply plowed by any force larger than half a warband.

3) Overdone Crowd-Control: Snafzg really covers everything that I would want to say about this. Mythic broke one of its key promises: less crowd-control. This, combined with a few other changes which have been delivered, put the outcome back into the hands of the player. It holds true until Tier 4, where it becomes an epic failure. And we wonder why people LOVE T1-3 and hate tier 4…

Well, I really am uninspired to write more at the moment. Peace out.
