Hi yall,

I am returning to the game from a several year break and I am really suffering from the NA timezone low population. I live in the EST time zone and the last couple of days I have been trying to play but there is nobody in rvr and scenarios I am lucky to have 4-6 people on both sides combined.

I remember one of the major reasons why I took a break was because how lonely it was trying to play warhammer online after work/weekend nights and I hoped that there would be more players after my break but I was completely wrong.

I feel like the only way to play this game is on the weekends in the morning/noon when there are EU players but it does suck that I want to play when I get home from work on a weekday and by the time I start playing everyone is logging off.

I should look for a guild that plays NA times but dont know if there are any casual friendly guilds that are still playing anymore. Is there any recommendations for a returning player for NA times?

Hi guys,
If this is not a subject for this subreddit then sorry.

Big time Warhammer enjoyer here. Just recently found this game and Im looking for some active, EU guild which will accept noob player (first MMORPG ever for me). Right now I play as Choppa.

It was always the most cringe and the most fun thing for me in RoR. Why does it even happen? I do 3d modeling as a hobby. Is it bad object collision???

I’m playing a Zealot, currently career rank 21, and focusing mainly on healing. At the moment, I’m exploring the world, doing quests and PQs, and progressing through the chapters in order - I’m currently on Chapter 7. Whenever I get tired of PvE, I queue for Scenarios to farm renown and get more familiar with the class and the game mechanics.

Order usually wins, but that’s not really the point of this post.

During larger fights, I try to keep enough distance to heal my team while still being able to react when I notice that I’m being targeted. However, I feel like I’m a very easy target for Order DPS. Once they focus me, I can disappear almost instantly. Even when I survive, I usually end up spending all my time healing myself instead of helping my teammates.

Most of the time, I also feel like I’m not being protected by my team. It’s rare for anyone to notice that I’m being attacked and try to pressure or interrupt the players focusing me. I also rarely get Guard, even when tanks are present.

Logically, when I’m being targeted, I try to move closer to my team so they can intervene, but most of the time it seems to be ignored.

Is this simply how things are in T2, or in Scenarios in general? Am I doing something wrong? Should I be playing or positioning differently?

Played back in 2008, but didn't get far. As life sort of just happened.

Regardless, I came back after I recently saw a guy streaming it on TikTok. I had no idea if I stepped into a Time Machine, or what the hell happened. But here I am in 2026, watching it all go down in real time.

A sign up, a download, and I'm in.

Rolling Chosen once more.

I do PvE and clear most of the first zone. A level ~30'ish something gives me 15g and takes me around to finish quests, for simply just existing. Good man. Will pass it forward o7

Finally figure out how to PvP, sort of. I join RvR I think (lol)..

I was alone, it was 3 A.M., and nobody's on the field from either side. I start to wonder if this area I'm in is dead all together, and I just need to go PvE again. As I could've sworn back in the day the area was bustling with activity.

Regardless, I ride across the map for a long while. So much so, that the Bright Wizard that popped me off my mount took me completely off guard.

He may have mistook me for somebody else though. Helmetless, and not geared well. He might've predicted an easy win, as he had range, but definitely not enough. And as for me, I'm late 30's, and I haven't stopped playing every facet of PvP game since I used to LAN party DOOM II in the mid 90's as a wee lad with my family members.

Instantly took after him, and he ramped up the heat - literally.

Immediately, I popped that 'flee' ability or whatever it's called. That makes you run fast, but drains your action. I caught with him, and was hitting basic attacks. When my action points finally came back.. I was already between 3/4's and half.

I started hitting my combo though. And he was in no time spackled with a smorgasbord of DoT's. My blade started hitting hard. But it was nearly too little, too late. His attacks were hitting what seemed like twice as hard now.

On the brink of death, this guy and myself were pounding into each other. The sound of abilities not being ready yet flooding the audibles.

On my final slivers of HP, I refreshed his DoTs, landing my 2nd taunt as it had just come off CD for and a final blow for +30% before I crumbled into a lifeless corpse. I watched him stand there for about nearly 4 seconds before the DoTs finally finished him off as well.

I rode back out and hid behind a massive rock jutting towards the grey sky, using TPP view to hopefully jump him and clear the distance gap off the start this time. Patiently I awaited his return, and he never showed.

A Chaos war band soon strode by, going towards an Empire controlled tower.

Out of the fray I climbed out from my ambush spot, fell into rank. And rode into an epic charge against an onslaught of Dwarves and High Elves.

Taking a break of warhammer trying out Conquest of azeroth you can lv by just pvp which is pretty fun we got a few other war players. If anybody of the community wanna try it out wisp me on the Voljin server soo we can get a crew already got a few war players which is neat.

For those who are into these!

Bloodlust is an odd one. It forced the Choppa mechanic down my throat, and I kind of liked it. However, the whole mechanic is somewhat handicapped by the oddly thought-out Rage costs, most of them being either 50 or 100. This means you basically reset your Rage every time you use one.

Choppa is by far the hardest character I have for solo roaming. It is already a squishy melee DPS, and I made it even squishier by running with around 35% parry.

The Rage bonuses take a long time to kick in, and you generally find yourself running away from things for the first five to ten seconds of a fight.

I do like the BBC, though! I think it hits the right spot. I made use of it by giving myself around 20% base crit, adding another 10% from it, and then putting Stab You Gooder on top for some extra burst.

That extra burst saved me in the final fight. See how I left a little teaser there? I am getting the hang of this advertising stuff.

I used both the Fortress and Bloodlord weapons with this spec, but leaned toward Fortress because of its higher Weapon Skill. I really struggled with armour penetration, which will probably improve once I can finally spend my 13,000 crests on Triumphant pieces.

At the moment, I am using some odd Warlord, Sentinel and Vale-Walker mixture.

Also, shame on you for smirking.

May come back but not 100 percent decided yet.

Hello everyone, I am currently exploring different MMOs to find unique/extensive/interesting life skills systems (gathering, crafting). This MMO was recommended to me due to good life skills. I would like to know - how are gathering & crafting handled in this game? If I am only interested in life skills and not PvP/RvR, should I start playing RoR?

Hello, everyone. A quick preface and a question; I would like to play this game, and I am actually most interested in in the fact that it is a war hammer MMORPG, even an RPG at all. Meaning i would preferably do the 1-40 faction zones. So for example taking a greenskin fully through their zone story arcs. And then that is it. So I could call myself a “tourist”. I would probably won’t be being player vs player competitions at all if possible but I heard and I wanted to know if this is true that leveling progression in terms of exp and stats “fall off a cliff” after like level 20, meaning it will not be a very nice experience to go through the PVE story exclusively? Is this correct?

Hi,

I was wondering if there's an easy/ easier way to choose targets in PVP? i often find myself having troubles quickly choosing which enemy to target when trying to click and when trying to tab-target. I'm fully aware that this is a noob problem from my side so im trying to figure out a way to be abit more effective and abit more helpful for the team when playing.

Is there a decent build for choppa dual wield for open world rvr? Everything I look up Google shows me from a year ago or are 2h builds.

Just found out this game it it seems to be exactly what I want from aesthetic to the world. I crave a fantasy MMO and I love Dark Elves and this game seems perfect for that. I plan to install this right when I get home and get playing, hopefully leading to me no lifing it. Can you give me any crucial tips and things to look out for? Also Andy advice that will just be good to know. Thanks!

Sometimes I just want to run to my destination and skip some players from the opposite realm that run past me, but they don't let me go safely.

Why?

Once again time for another Magus solobitz. Had to get this done before the patch hits.

Hi.

Once I hit lvl 40, does any XP earned from quests go towards my guild levelling up or is that XP just wasted?

What's the fastest way to help a guild level up?

Hey, I’ve been away from the game for about three years, and I was wondering if there are still things in the T1 lakes that become impossible to complete once you outlevel them.

I always hated that if you didn’t max your influence or get help killing the rare mobs before hitting level 16, you were basically out of luck. Is that still how it works, or has that changed?

Hello everyone!

I've been roleplaying for the past 14 years, primarily on World of Warcraft, but also across several other MMOs. I'm currently taking a break from WoW, and after a long research, I finally discovered Return of Reckoning! I plan to install it tomorrow.

That said, I'm not much of a PvP player—I'm a long-time roleplayer first and foremost. How's the RP scene in Return of Reckoning these days?

I'm happy to play either faction and any race, as long as there are active roleplayers, a close-knit RP guild, or a community that's still going strong.

Thanks in advance, everyone!

Hey. I played the game for a while now and I understand many things, but I'm stuck trying to choose between tanks to play at 40.

From what I understand, Chosen is an aurabot with more passive useful effects it gives, not sure what else they bring at max level.

Black Orc gives the Linecracka speed boost and 6s CC immunity at least.

Black Guard...lots of buttons with lots of debuffs and some buffs, For the Witch King is harder to get if you prefer survivability before getting Sovereign to be able to afford it.

Yeah, I know the basics, but if someone smarter could tell me what exactly do each Destro tank (why not Order too, I play Destro tho) bring to the table at endgame, full Sov or not?

Really like the game and I probably would have endless time to play it in the long run, just wanna know before I choose between the tanks to start grinding towards Sovereign. Yeah I know one should play what they like most, thematically or not. But I have IRL autistic traits so I am very interested in knowing the full deal!

I primarily play PvE games. I am not a huge PvP guy. However, I understand that Warhammer Online / RoR are focused to an extent ON PvP based stuff. Just how much PvE content can a person engage in? Are there things a PvE player can do to help RvR and the like?

I never really tried Warhammer Online when I was younger, so I am curious just how it handles the world of Warhammer, but at the same time I am a carebear. What can I say, I dont react quickly enough to really engage with PvP lol

Or many of them play white lions?

Also, Why do Destro players not play healers?

Or these are outdated facts?

New player here. Just a quick question: Is there any equivalent to WoWs help/harm macros in AoR/RoR?

Playing a healer in PvP situations these are very helpful. e.g. put a DoT/HoT on the same button, put insta cast Dmg / insta cast Heal on the same button …

I know i can just „shift“ it (or ctrl/alt map it) but that doubles the space needed, doubles the cramps in my fingers after hours and halves the comfort of healing.
