A month into war and this casual-hardcore gamer is half way to 40... 

After taking my sweet time to decide what career to go with in Warhammer, I finally decided to go with a Sorceress.  I am a power gamer by nature, so being able to lead the charts in damage is something that appeals to me.  What doesn't appeal to me is questing. I still refuse to grind out quests. I refuse to be stuck in the boredom rut of running quest after quest after quest for my entire life.

I am personally glad that WAR has solved this issue. I can grind out public quests and RvR scenarios without touching any "Fedex" or point to point travel quests. I can simply pick up quests that deal with the scenario I like to run, rinse and repeat. Surprisingly, I have not been bored with doing this at all. It may have been the extreme lack of good PvP in my life since everyone figured out WOW PvP was terrible.  Combining with the fact that Age of Conan was the MMO bomb of the decade. The amazing part is that each scenario is amazingly different and any side can win in any given instance. If you put together a good group of six that communicates well you can own a scenario and take home a good amount of XP and Renown.

Today also brought out the second quasi major patch for WAR pushing it to version 1.0.2 and bringing some needed changes to scenarios. Mythic is staying true to their fans by not slaughtering classes right from the start and giving the game a chance to fend for itself. This is good because it leaves the players with time to figure out how to beat other classes they feel are over powered. Mythic has done a great job of concentrating on the issues rather than re-balance (or imbalance) of the game. Great things are in store for this MMO and I'm sure this won't be the last you hear from my experiences. I am in a large raiding guild on Azazel and we are already taking all of the keeps in tier 3 nightly. Soon I will be joining their ranks and I'll bring back full reports for everyone!
