But this game is amazing
At first glance i was a bit skeptical and thought it was merely a WoW Clone but its just a million times better in every aspect
The Good Stuff
PvP : Gives Experience Items and repeatable quests for gold and more experience which scales per level nicely so leveling up doesnt take to long. You can pvp from level 1 if you are underleveled in a pvp area you will gain a buff called bolster which increases your stats to around the same levels of other players (ofc you will be at a disadvantage missing skills/gear)
Leveling : = Quick fast and enjoyable the max rank (level) is 40 and can be achieved easily even playing casually
Variety : 10 classes per side from 6 different races with 4 more classes being added soon. Each class is different to each other and although some classes from each faction share similarities with there counter parts they are very different classes to play. Characters also have a unique look and feel even at low levels with trophy's and armour painting each character really looks different (unlike WoW)
RvR and guilds : the pvp is constant be it in battlegrounds or on the worldmap invading keeps with siege engines and stuff is awesome. Also being in a guild has many advantages, your guild also has a ranking system , the more powerful the guild the more stuff you unlock. For example you can unlock special guild unique buffs for the members of your guild which you can use when your guild standard bearer carries the guild banner (guild leaders appoint standard bearers within the guild you unlock the option for more the higher your guild level is) :] i am currently my guilds standard bearer as seen below:
Also visually it owns though you cant tell from the screen
it has also had the best MMO start in history with only 1 hotfix patch of 100kb in the first week and no down time so far on the EU servers. Servers are pretty packed atm and has more players than wow had at the start by far.
Imo if you want a PvP oriented MMO with alot of potential and good lore buy this (also good to play casually)
Cant wait till they flesh out all the PvE content :D
