While a bit of candor from a developer is nice, why does Mythic employ all of these community relations people if MBJ is just going to communicate directly with the community so often?

“Will DK’s have precasting? If so, I am in!”

They start out with Fourzors Hallies.

Yeah they had it in alpha, but they scrapped it and I doubt they seriously considered adding it in until they saw two MMOs predicted to be huge both had it and were coming out this year.

I’d say it was a reaction to both WAR and AoC, since both talked about having their endgame be about sieging. Just AoC didn’t actually have and endgame, but at the time Blizzard put out a press release over a year ago stating they were going to have world pvp with capturable objectives and siege engines (that move! ), no one knew that.

Of course, just like the Destro overpopulation, on every WoW PVE server, Alliance will dominate until Horde won’t even bother. It’s so ridiculous they even are trying this since they already know Horde ignores Halaa and every other capturable objective on every pve server due to the imbalance.

Oh and to put that performance issue in better perspective it drops my frame rates at a relatively low resolution for a high end PC (1280×1024)

And dear god does it affect performance. i just bought a 2k dollar PC and a keep siege can start to make my framerate suffer.

bigger issue is the fact that as soon as any WB I am in hits a keep and starts to meet player resistance it quickly devolves in to chaos, and everybody starts whining about wanting to go to a different keep that is unprotected….yay for PvP?

world pvp will be cool as long as it has some way to contain lags. It is like most other software, features are good till they start to affect performance.
