Why Orvr Sucks

I know how many times can I write about how Orvr sucks in Warhammer Online?  As many times as it takes before they actually fix it.  Every time I decide to venture out, and try it I remember why I hate it so much.

Today I went out with my archmage.  I zerged with the rest of Order.  It was a great turnout.  We had about three warbands roaming the rvr lakes.  It couldn't be better right?

It seemed like a city push was inevitable (no pun intended).  We pushed every zone to the last zone to get to the city.  I was ready to collect some great renown from some flips. 

Magically we got access back to Lotd.  Almost instantly the warbands started falling apart.  The next thing you know everyone is just gone. 

This is why city pushes need to slow down.  It means nothing to players now.  They can stop when they are minutes away from going to the city.  They either log off, go to the Lotd, get on alts, or whatever.  What happened to the days when you would be up all night trying to get to the city?

Anyways I am pretty pissed off that I ran around all these zones thinking I was going to benefit from all the zone flip bonus renown, and a couple rounds inside the city, and instead watch Destruction take every zone back at 9pm without a fight.

It is just sad to see that no one cares anymore.  No realm pride, no city pride, or anything.  I just don't see how Warhammer Online is going to keep players even with an expansion, added classes, a third realm, or whatever. 

Why do you think Orvr sucks in Warhammer Online?

Blending Into Tier 4

The last week or so has been quite frustrating leveling up my Archmage.  I spent several nights not accomplishing anything.  It is like magically everyone left Tier 3.  I have really not seen any open rvr, or scenarios popping.  I am so close to Tier 4 I just want to do some pvp for xp.

It just isn't happening.  Tier 3 was halfway dead before, but now it is completely dead.  For around five hours I remained queued for scenarios, and no pops.  I see people asking about Orvr, and nothing.  I start doing a /who for tier 3.  It returns twelve players names.  No wonder nothing is happening.

I don't care how many plague rats spawn in High Pass, but twelve players in the lakes will still feel like a ghost town.  I am sorry, but changing the LOTD access to 32 isn't going to change much.  Do you really think there are that many players grinding there?

After this last week of frustration I decided to just go to tier 4.  I didn't want to pve grind 30-32, and even fall further behind in my renown rank.  It was already behind by almost five levels. 

Actually I blended in to Tier 4 just fine.  They had over two warbands running around.  I guess since I was healing no one was going to complain.  It is still pretty boring doing Orvr, but at least I was gaining some xp, and renown at a pretty good rate.  Even the zone flips helped.

I am getting close to rank 32, and will be soon able to queue up for tier 4 scenarios.  I really hope to rvr the rest of the way to 40, but I know it will be much slower than grinding out pve.
