More Open Beta Thoughts

1. Either Ironbreakers are really powerful or they just seem really powerful. I was grinding a PQ for influence. Mobs were about two levels less than me and I would pretty easily kill five at a time. Sometimes I would kill three waves of five at a time with no break. One time I must've killed twenty with no break and it was the first time I've ever used a pot in the game.
   
   On top of that, 1-on-1 in scenarios I can kill anyone who can't heal. If they can heal we'll just pound away at each other for a minute or two, at which time I theoretically would die, but it takes so long that usually another order or destruction person shows up and turns the tide.
   
   The AP system is little frustrating here, as I know I'm never going to run a healer out of AP the way they would run out of mana.
   
   
2. Mobs still bug a lot. They will sit there and do damage to you but when you attack them you get a warning saying you can't attack that target.
   
   
3. Clicking has never made sense to me. Sometimes left-clicking works, sometimes right-clicking works, sometimes neither work and sometimes both seem to work. Plus clicking is really, really sensitive to mouse movement. If you click on something and your mouse moves just a tiny bit between the mouse click and release, the selection doesn't work. Obviously there's a little "give" but there needs to be a little bit more -- it's much harder to select things in WAR than it is in WoW.
   
   
4. It seems like the only point of quests is getting some extra experience, at least at low levels. I just did scenarios for about the first 60% of level 9, then I ground out almost an entire chapter's worth of influence from a single PQ. Nobody's up so I pretty much did an entire phase I (100 guys) by myself. I think there was another guy there but he was just killing one guy at a time and I didn't see him in the thick of things.
   
   Of course, this is another thing to hate about off-hour playing. Phase III's and some Phase II's are harder to solo so you can only PQ for so long.
   
   
5. I can't believe I forgot something until now from the closed beta. To figure out where quests are done, go to the map and keep clicking on-and-off the "map" tracking, until you can see the area that's clicking on and off.
   
   It seems like there has to be an easier way, although it's still 10000 times better than WoW. At no time have I ever felt like "Hey, I need Thottbott". Well, I guess there was that one time. Once it happened in closed beta. You had to talk to a guy who turned out to be a hard-to-find corpse.
   
   
6. Renown Rank Gear is seriously good. I'm just finishing Dwarf Chapter III and the influence rewards are far inferior to the RR gear I got two and three levels ago.
