RVR for the Win!

Man it feels good to finally do some PVP!  WOOT.  ROAR.  WAAAAAAGH!  I joined the guild in some Empire Tier 2 RVR.  At every turn I expected to crash.  Every time the screen lagged I cringed expecting to see the black screen of death which thankfully, never came.  We started by obtaining the local RVR objective in Troll Country, securing the Monastery.  From there we headed to the Destruction Keep.  To Destruction’s credit, they showed up en masse.  Casualties of WAR gave it a great effort but had to eventually call a retreat before we were completely surrounded.  The group moved to the Dwarf zone but it was a bit late for me to continue.

The whole thing was exciting, thrilling and chaotic fun!  The leaders gave instructions on vent to keep things as organized as possible.  Tanks tanked, healers healed and rez, while DPS tried to nuke their way to victory.  We didn’t succeed but it was definitely a group bonding success.  Go COWs!!!!!!!!

I’ve also done a few Scenarios now.  I’m really looking forward to having this as an alternative method of leveling.  Now that I have access to all the features of the game, I might go ahead and create my alt for healing.  The icing is now on my cake.  Now if I can find a more useful purpose for the crafting, I’d truly be one with WAR.  *Smile*

It's good to see some more people fighting the Destruction zerg.

I am SO happy it's working for you!

Maybe now you and I can hang and do some scenarios, etc next time I'm actually free to play. :)

Yay! Glad to see you're up and running (and fire-bombing everything in sight)! :) PC problems are a pain, that's for sure.

@all - This fix has worked now for three days without incident. Kinda sucks to down-grade a video card when you bought it to get the benefits of better performance. But since I can now to Scenarios and Open RVR without issue I won't complain too much.

Bildo I do hope to see you in game sometime soon helping to defend the Order! Waaaagh!

Have you had any strange lag? I have a 8800GT 512mb card, I've not had your black screen issues, but I have had strange video lag issues, especially when we are taking keeps and when there are lots of player models on the screen. I was wondering if you have this issue since you under clocked or not?

I don't mind under clocking, if it will eliminate some of the strange stuttering I'm getting. It's similar to the stuttering you get in Qeynos Harbor when lots of people zone in.

Before this past weekend, I had not suffered from lag issues when running with the "Fastest Framerate" for graphics quality. Now I have lag all the time now with large groups - scenarios, PQs and attacking those keeps last night was insanely laggy.

This is a new issue for me which appeared after under-clocking had already improved my ability to do RVR w/o introducing lag problems. So I don't think it's tied to the Nvidia card, drivers or under-clocking. It's a new problem that didn't start until late in the week.
