I read what you said, and I voted

I hated it, and even though you said you didn't want to hear it - I hated it for obvious reasons, and I'm still trying to come out of it with at least something with some value.

well I voted I hated it just for the fact the lag was terrible.. the drops rates I cared less about seeing as i'm only keeping the ring from the 1st round...

other then that the wave was decent, the quests were decent.. alot better the the 1st woz we had

I think we're only having 1 wave this time as well lol, another big blow to it.

it was ok, fun to do something diffrent, not just hunt for kinetics. but funny that almost every1 wanted the wave to be longer, so they made the spawn boss better :).. dont know the point bout that :p.. it would have been dead now, and we could return to our normal life again but instead we have to raid and raid on a spawn boss that never dies. same mistake as they did on wave 5 on the first woz...

As far as time consumption it was good. But Sigil server has already done most of this before so it's not like it was anything "new and surprising" and I wouldn't have minded a slightly better drop rate :p.

It would have been to easy if the drop rate was increased.

you mean increased to 0.000001%? that to easy? I think maybe 10-15 bolts and screws or polishs droped on rancid... 5-10 random wires/medal objects the whole time...

that kind of drop rate makes this no fun. what about rewarding the active? the only people who even saw those drops were people who spent 2k points to get them.

WoZ was fun but the lag was just horrible especially when i had to kill those 300 mobs. But then again it's fun to get those cool new items and sell items to get pts. They have to do it more often and with less lag next time please :)

Itai

well, i think it was OK. we insisted on a new war, and outwar gave us a new war. So we cant really complain.

The positive is that it gave the new players a chance to experience Zhul, and the old players something else to do.

The negative was the lag, and the fact that in order to get any of the items except the ring, you had to be online like 24 hours to get the drops you needed.

I hated it at first cause dcaa destoryed this server when it come out so i couldnt even start it till late thursday night cause all i got was a white screen, but when i could do it its a nice update gave u something to do and the drop rate on items were perfect and i got none of the items either, hope the next wave the drop rates stay the same

I enjoyed it when there was no lag..

Too bad most of the time the lag was too awful..

I liked it, I managed to walk out with 5 items better then i had (got my s&b about 5 hours in). It made my crew more active, had quests and stuff in it and was overall enjoyable.

My only dislikes really was the lag, and of course the people. Why does everyone ask to bring something back, then have a 600 post thread in two days doing nothing but *****ing.

Thank you for bringing this back Rampid.

i liked it, I ended up with a few decent items, but it was a serious g-r-i-n-d.

I did see obvious dcaa users on Zimbob. I mean ow do you explain 9 characters, all with the same name+a number all dcing in unison ?

I probably on spent about 20 pts on rage pots. The zul items all had respectable max rage and rage recharge stats, so unless you have absolutely no life whatsoever it was hard to run out.
I mean, gee, I was at 12k max and recharging 1100 a turn.

I am seriously hoping for another round. I really want some temp arcane items so I can finally get my crew through the space ranger stuff.

no need to hope... when the war has already started, its not going to end, is it? After first round, the next 4 will follow.

so basically most of you enjoyed it and the new items ect ..seems most of the dislike was the lag which i know the admins are looking into

i wasn't around for last WoZ, I didn't get any of the upgraded stuff (nice neck and boots)but got 1 set of all the rest of the quest/cauldron items. I went through i think 8 recharge the furys, and i have 26k MR. I was on for more hours than i want to even think about at a time. I throughly enjoyed it, and as long as its not within the next week or two, would love to do it again.

and then after all that, i get to raid until my eyes start tearing up OR my crew gets neg skilled again, lol.

I think the raid boss is a little insane since the 2nd time they changed him, but if he drops as much and as good of items as justin says, then well worth it.

and for next wave (whenever that is) i hope the drop rates remain low. Something to help the OW economy. I don't want the really sweet items flooding the market like SR did

over all......I loved it

Before the War Puremisery said that this was not war of zhul (referring to the event). Yesterday Justin said he was pretty sure there would be no second round and that Puremisery had said "this was not war of zhul" because it would not be 5 rounds.

The lag and it was over too quick, shard drop rate should have been lower and boss spawn should have been tomorrow and not today.

everything was pretty nice ;) great job admins! except the lag.. 1st day for like 4hours u could hardly move 1 square in DC.. :| but everything else was fun and really great!

I liked the first wave. The quests were a nice edition but I will complain about the drop rates. Since the drop rates were so low Iended up getting no cauldran made item or even 1 rare drop, even used some multies to help my chances... Which annoys me. But its all good. It was fun besides the .0001 drops.

Also, yeah it was over way to quick. I'd like to see the waves last like 3 days.

It was over too quick especially when its being done on weekdays when people have school etc. It shouldve been longer because of this reason alone.

02-09-2008, 04:42 PM
first i was like i hate the drop rate i know don't talk about it but when i think about it i like how it was the low drop rate if it was to high every 1 was gonna have some leet shhh en items getting way to cheap try en sell a item now you wont get 1 offer on the normal items
i also liked the drop rate because if you couldn't find every piece by the end of the wave you could just sell the pieces you have en make some points im happy with the free items en points i made in these 3 days

i checked It Was OK!!!
1. There were new quests, less insane grinding.
2. Iems from minion
why this war wasnt great?
1. level requirements
2. discrimination of low levels

Itai

hehe, you really put the same subject in both reasons there :P you must really HATE to be too low lvl. How big are you?

Didn't hate it but wish the drop rates for the quest items where a tad bit better so i could have gotten my screws. It was alright I voted it was good. =)

02-10-2008, 11:52 AM
The quests added was definatly a good idea.

However I got 0 "rare" drops on all my accounts, had to use some pts to get the neck and feet (non-upgraded) and the lag was horrible. But it was better than doing nothing at all.

Looking forward to more rounds.

ye the quests were a good idea

But WTF why am i beeing told that admins only doing use 1 round this time

they aint do any more i hope this is a lie but apparently justins been telling eevryone its over soon as min tail is killed i hope not

02-10-2008, 03:08 PM
i put "it was ok"

Personally, i would have started it on a weekend, so ppl spend longer trying to get the items and then the raids would have lasted longer, but hey!.......

The items were real nice, and you cannot fault the activity it brought back into the game......it was great to see!.........

I think it goes to show, quests, raids etc etc, that involve both the crew and the individual really work well for the game.......

it was too short

kingale1
02-10-2008, 05:28 PM
I was not impressed with the short period the round was up. It is really hard when you only get two attempts to get what you need. Some people actually work ridiculous hours and needed an extra day to get items needed. I thought the drop rate was actually pretty good compared to the last war though.

I hope next time around I will have the chance to play more.

simonrobinson
02-10-2008, 06:14 PM
for me it actually brought activity back half the members of oi who had quit playing all came back to do it and everyone enjoyed it.

not sure how it went for most of ya crews but we actually had a full chat lol

i do believe nick mentioned he would be doing frequent events on outwar now.. im looking forward to that ... it shouldnt always be about gods or quests regular events will bring a lot of fun back to the game and get people interested again..

i thouroughly enjoyed this woz kept me up 40 hrs with no sleep lol and my arms ache from hitting but chats were fun and i saw a lot of activity returning to game..

I totally agree that this will bring a lot of fun back to the game. I look forward to seeing if, when, and how this will happen. It's unfortunate that there will be no other rounds of the WoZ but am excited to see what they have for us next. Also, it's a great move by Outwar...they're regaining peoples interests which will inevitably bring them more business. Keep it coming, guys.

It wasnt enough time to do much of anything if youre a normal person/dont have a comp at work. Even some of the people who were on it all day and night didnt get anything good.

Erida
02-10-2008, 07:56 PM
That's true. I actually hadn't been on for about a month and got online with less than a day and a half for the WoZ, which sucked because I was not playing at the time of the first one and missed that. I wish I could have gotten to play then. Anyway, within that day and a half, I got the belt and a few parts that I was able to sell so I suppose I could have made out worse.

Ya i though this wave was kinda short, alot of people missed out. But they did give hints to it a few times in news posts.

not sure how u guys think it was short the first war of zhul lasted just over a week and that was 5 waves of mobs where as this wave lasted 4 days for 1 wave of mobs.. i actually think it was a perfect amount of time..
the items were random and pure luck i know people who hit for 2 hrs a day and got an angelic alliance and didnt buy any parts, i also know folk who hit for 20hrs a day and found nothing.

but most people no matter wether it was 2 hrs or 20 hrs achieved something the belt,flasks ring boots neck or just pts..
it was all fun and made a huge change to the same old takin a god routine

i agree with you on that, although i hated it being one of those people not getting shit in the 24 hours or more i put into this. i'm yust happy mine raiding still got me what i wanted an good item:)

like i posted on the shoutbox on sigil... but nobody seems to listen. Everybody are just too damn busy, thinking about themselves, instead of thinking about others as well.
