As a member of Order on the server in question (Karak Eight Peeks) I feel sad that I couldnt have even helped it I wasnt out having fun with friends/asleep for uni the next day. As I actually have a life and am only level 20.

Destruction seem to have just powerleveled a lot of numbers up to tier 4, which unless mythic sort it, order can look forward to no capital for a while. I enjoy the content and Tome of Knowledge in WAR, and wish to continue my slow leveling to soak it all in. Why should I have to power level just cause destruction is full of kids with no commitments. :(
Reason #104 I don't bother with MMORPG's anymore.

Really, that far down? Or are they chronilogical according to time conceived?

Or (the most likely option) did you just make that up entirely?

Personally, I'm not getting back into MMOs until the KOTOR MMO, which I hope will be good, seeing as I'm a total star wars nut, I'll probably stick around until the Apocalypse.

Guys, this is not referring to a city seige at all.

Its a single Keep made for level 30's to 40 to fight over.

The writer of the article misinterpreted the forum post.
He also lacks knowledge of WAR.

Well, no MMO is perfect. WoW had a shitton of similar problems when it was first released.
I don't understand, does that somehow excuse the developers' incompetence?
In certain situations, yes it does.

There seems to be quite a bit of misinformation floating around. If this was indeed a City siege, this sounds rather bad... but some people are saying that it was just a tier 4 keep siege. Can anyone confirm one way or the other?

EDIT: From what I can gather from the thread, a bunch of hardcore Euronerds power-leveled to tier 4 and exploited a glitch they learned about during beta to take the city. Because most people have lives, there were few players at a high enough rank able to defend.

This article's title appears to be untrue.

That post refers to a Keep in a fourth tier open RvR area...not a city seige at all.

Its a fair old run away from the city...not a "City Seige" at all.

EDIT: And FFS it's NOT a city siege it's a T4 Keep in the middle.
Ok, for all those saying it was just a T4 keep. It wasnt. Trust me, I'm on the server that this happened. And we've had Altdorf locked for quite some time as they broke Reikward (The City Siege map) and then broke into altdorf and fucked around in their for however long doing public quests. I don't think they got to Karl Franz at all and killed him. But they definatly broke into, and raped Altdorf.

They also owned ALL of T4 dwarfs, all but 1 of T4 elves. (As you require 2 full possessions in order to attack the capital.

So 1 server out of how many glitched a city seige?

They didnt even kill the king! So they basically failed without any order fighting them!

I am destro and find all of this highly ammusing... we knew Order people suck but for Destro to fail with no opposition? Karak Eight Peaks, EPIC FAIL!!!

Disciple, I think it's time you found out. There is no kitten. You killed it in your anger.

it happened in WoW, and it's bound to happen again:

bad guys win on regular basis, 'cause good side is boring.

Here is a quote from a mate of mine and member of the WAR forums who's description covers for mine:

Although its unfortunate that this has happened (I'm sad as a KEP order player that our altdorf is the first to fall) but they didn't kill the king. All they did was do a few PQ's.

Everyone is blowing this out of proportion anyway, the fact is that in t4 Destro outnumber us because (for whatever reason) they levelled quicker. Barely any order players were defending (not for want of trying, but due to level requirements) so this was not a typical City siege (neither were the fortress fights). In a week I expect Destro to be very hard pushed to pull this off unless its at 3am, without much much more of a fight.

What we can do however, is send Mythic feedback that NPC's in keeps/fortresses/cities are not enough of a roadblock at the moment.
/end quote.

Back to me now. The greater Order guilds were not even helping with that and the destructo forces did not actually kill the king, they just went around killing NPC's. The system would of worked if there were more guards and not as many bugs that players could easily exploit.

i actualy find that very funny, i knew that war would slowly fail, now watch and heed my word escapist, many more posts will follow this one about more aspects of the game will fail
Awww a WoW fanboy! So cute. *pats him on the head and feeds him a biscuit*


It'll get fixed and patched shortly I'm sure. This is nothing more than flamebait news so the WoWers can have something to whoop about.

It's a bit of a letdown to me that a respectable gaming site like The Escapist denounce a game and say that a central part of the game "sucks"... The game's been out a week and the guards weren't set up to react to attacking players properly, and the back door was bugged to open to anyone not just Order. A bug in a game a week after release is NOT a reason to say it sucks, don't be so sensationalist LOOLLOLOLOOLO WAR SUX when it's commonplace for flaws like this to arise just a few days after the release of games.

Take a long hard look at WoW, what most people consider to be the established MMO that is played most. First week? Hah. It didn't have battlegrounds or organised PvP, it had melee classes with talents to spec into Intellect, a caster stat (nowhere near the half of it), no blue or epic gear, and no real goals or aims at all. Not that it has any goals or aims now, since everything gets nerfed so that unskilled and casual 1-hour-a-day players can be wandering around clad in tiered PvE gear or a full arena set.

Major screwup, The Escapist. Saying a game sucks for having some easily fixed flaws that were't meant to be there is a pretty huge mistake when you're meant to know your stuff..

Read the damned thread, cos you're just repeating everything we've just said.
WoW had these problems: Check.
It's still in it's second week: Check.
Once they iron out the bugs and order catch up on levels it'll be fine: Check.

And don't diss WoW. Without it, WAR wouldn't even exist right now.
