Fix Git Author
As Pivots move to different machines frequently when we pair switch, its often a problem that we forget to switch the author when we commit to Git. Here's how you can fix the author of a commit (before you've pushed to remote).
- change your git author
- git commit –amend –reset-author -C HEAD
This changes the author of commit to whomever is configured in the git config, and uses the same message you previously used (the -C HEAD part).

The least outlay is not always the greatest gain.
FROM MICHAEL FIDLER (firstname.lastname@example.com). There are two very good free astronomy programs that are really great for observing deep sky object and planets. Real time GUI (RTGUI) is a great interface that gives postions of objects in real time. It has a Best of the Sky button that brings up what is easily observed at the current time and location, plus Alt/Azm directions along with goto scope connections. Here is the link: http://www.rtgui.com/
This program interfaces with SkyChart / Cartes du Ciel, a detailed star charting program. You can just push the button on the RTGUI program and it will link to Sky Charts to display it. Link: http://www.ap-i.net/skychart/
Both can be used with just binoculars or a small scope and also gives the best double stars to view. Enjoy!
Check out www.stellarium.org. Used in planetarium projectors, Stellarium is a free open-source planetarium for your computer. It shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.
Just set your coordinates and go.

How Families Can Support Social and Emotional Learning for Your Child's
Success in School. Come hear Dr.
Ruth Cross share how you can make a positive impact on your child's academic
success by supporting social and emotional learning. Social and emotional
skills are critical to being a good student, citizen and worker. Many risky
behaviors (e.g., drug use, violence, bullying and dropping out) can be
prevented or reduced when multiyear, integrated efforts are used to develop
students' social and emotional skills. Learn how your involvement can play a
significant role by encouraging student engagement in positive activities in
and out of the classroom. To register,
or learn more, call 708.534.4024.
We developed and piloted a Performance-Based Principal Evaluation Plan that meets all Illinois requirements while considering the behaviors that improve the quality of instructional leadership in schools. This plan is used throughout Northern Illinois by nearly 200 principals. The design team of over thirty educators was facilitated by Dr. Joseph Murphy, professor at Vanderbilt's Peabody College of Education, and a recognized leader in the area of school improvement. To learn more about the GSU Principal Performance-Based Evaluation or to become a partner with GSU in this initiative, email Dr. Donna Joy, Project Leader, at mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com.
MILE has been designated an Illinois New Principal Mentoring provider, where educational mentors are provided to coach school leaders (principals, assistant principals, directors, deans, etc.) and provide them with opportunities to achieve measured growth.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Subjects referred for a routine CTA (computed tomography angiography) or MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) will be invited to participate in the study and subjects will be involved in the study for between 2 and 12 days. Two to three visits to the study doctor will be required.
This study will compare the diagnostic results of Gadobutrol enhanced MRA images with MRA images taken without contrast agent using images from a CTA as the standard of reference, which may have been performed up to 60 days prior to enrolment. If a CTA has not been performed in this prior time period, a CTA is required for the study.
MRA and CTA images will be collected for an independent review (blinded read).
Carotid Stenosis
Drug: Gadobutrol (Gadovist, BAY86-4875)
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
|Official Title:
|Multicenter, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy (by Blinded Reading) of Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) After a Single Intravenous Injection of 0.1 mmol/kg Gadobutrol in Subjects With Known or Suspected Vascular Disease of the Supra-aortic Vessels
- Proportion of assessable segments [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Sensitivity for detection of clinically significant disease (70 to 99% stenosis) on a segmental basis [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Specificity for exclusion of clinically significant disease (70 to 99% stenosis) on a segmental basis [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Gadovist minimum performance criteria: Sensitivity > 50% [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Gadobutrol minimum performance criteria: Specificity > 50% [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Minimum diameter of the segment [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Location and length of stenotic segments with ≥ 70% stenosis [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Secondary radiologic indicators for diagnosis of clinically significant disease [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Artifacts by type (segmental) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Diagnostic confidence (segmental) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Additional imaging studies recommended (example: CTA, CE MRA, Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]What additional imaging studies would be necessary is a measure of 1) what test provides a definitive diagnosis for treatment decisions and 2) is a direct measure of additional cost a health system would incur for additional imaging studies to reach a definitive diagnosis. This is critical to determining the total cost of imaging for a patient diagnosis in any health system reimbursement structure. Therefore the social/societal cost for not providing a definitive diagnosis with a single imaging study can be determined for health policy and reimbursement decisions.

text: Essie Navigate Her Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "new growth green." It's a soft pastel green with subtle warm yellow undertones. The closest dupe I could think of was Zoya Tracie, which has subtle metallic shimmer running through it. It's also a little yellower. Barielle Myrza's Meadow is also a bit similar, though a touch lighter, and it has multi-colored flecks of sparkle. I love the yellow component to this, because it keeps it from being a cool, minty green that screams winter to me; the warmth gives it the freshness of springtime to me.

Hi Stainedglass :)Paul, we were talking at one point about the possibility of alien life existing and their need for redemption, if indeed we are talking about actual living beings. I've always been curious about this subject. However, a person that I respect because of their diligence in studying the Word of God, has made the statement that he does not believe that they actually "exist" because "Eve was the mother of all living." Now I haven't been able to clarify what "exist" means to this person as yet, but I am wondering if you have any take on that statement?
Hi Stainedglass :)Clearly people are experiencing seeing something--but is this a "grand illusion" that is happening world wide? I am sceptical because of the "message" that they seem to be saying to the human contactees.
And while investigating this subject recently in depth, flooding myself with as much material as I could find, I experienced seeing people of strong Christian faith, seemingly, overnight give up everything that they believed to be true about the universe simply because they heard a story about something an "alien" said!
wow! My own faith, admittedly became shaken at one point, thinking that the lies might be true! I'm convinced now that they are demonic in origin. But I completely understand if that is not where you are at right now. It is an "earth moving" experience to look at ALL the "evidence" that is out there. And clearly...something IS going on! But what is its "origin?" That is the question!! Looking forward to your posts!
I personally do not combine the accounts here of encounters with that being a true manifestation of any alien. A planet that contains a race of human being may exist and we may never know where they are. All encounters on earth could one day be proven false, that only proves that those people did not see aliens, that does not disprove the existance of them.
But in trying to put it all into perspective now....1) there IS NOTHING new under the sun 2) nothing can separate us from the love of God3) the Holy Spirit will guide us into ALL TRUTHHey...this is amazing love, is it not, guys? :)Joyce :)
I believe I know this person you speak of and this person always reminds people of two things. "The bible is a huge metaphor"
The literal rendering of Genesis 3:20 does not use the word "was" but saysand "pay attention to the words"Gn 3:20 And calling is the human his wife's name Eve, for she becomes the mother of all the living.
I do not believe the bible can be used conclusively to say that there is no other life on another world. If there is life on another world, there is also no reason to believe they would be anything other than a world of humans such as us.
H.G. Wells War of the Worlds and almost any other depiction of life from another world visiting us in our present state of technology plays into the truth of the human condition. Anything capable of traveling to our planet from another world would be superior and able to destroy us. However history has shown that "terrestrial" man will indeed seek to control and destroy other men so it stand to reason that we would expect other life forms to be the same.So I see our perspective of "Aliens" a mirror to our soul.If they do exist, God created them and they are just as much a part of his plan as we are.
Enjoyed reading both your posts....Paul and Joyce. I agree that if it is real (in the sense of what we call "real")....it certainly means that there is a purpose for it. I believe that God is above Reality (He is all Truth). God is the creator of Reality. In response to the mention of H.G. Wells War of the Worlds... I've heard it said that just because something is classified as Fiction...it doesn't mean it's not true. It just means it may not have happened yet.
I've always loved the depiction of the aliens in the movie/story Contact. They appear as highly evolved spiritual beings that have an enormous degree of love.....and much to teach us about Life, once we're ready. Sounds much like angels IMO.
I remember in the show....the X-Files.....they always said, "The Truth is out there". This is what I've thought for quite some time, but now I believe that the Truth is within.
Brother P... in "paying attention to the words"... we can only "pay attention" to the ones which are actually THERE... If they are NOT THERE, then what attention may we "pay" to them? The truth is, that there is no "literal" word which is translated, "becomes" in this text... nor is there a literal word "was" (as is noted in the KJV)... the text only finds the words (in blue):From Strongs Concordance:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
I agree with your first point here bro (red)... but of your second point (blue),There is also no reason to believe otherwise brother Paul... GOD created INFINITE varieties on the earth... a dog is not a cat is not a mouse is not a tree is not a fish, is not a bird, is not a spider is not a human being... Because of the myriads of variations even within various species such as the Insect, Animal, Plant, Bird, and Marine Kingdoms, is reason enough to believe that there might be INNUMERABLE creatures which differ from humanity in the Universe.
I had a dream of this once, and I wrote it in a Script, I can't find it, so I will re-write it but more like a short story with some script elements.To make a long story short. The dream starts out as I am a little child named Kelvin.American Country Road - 3:00 amI am a little child named Kelvin, riding in a rear facing seat of a large white station wagon driving in the country. It is cold, and the windows were a bit frosty. Looking out the window, as a child would do, I was making picture when all of a sudden, in one of the areas where the window was not frosted due to my drawing, a small light appears and gets larger and larger until it is realized to be a comet or meteorite which roars over head and crashes into an old water mill in the middle of a field. I scream with excitement, "Mom, did you see that! A real life meteorite! Can we see it!" My mother anxious notices the building is glowing and perhaps on fire. "Kelvin, settle down. I want you to stay in the car..." She drives off on a side dirt road towards the old mill.As she pulls up, a light orange glow comes from inside. I open the door quietly and jump out of the car to see the meteorite crash. As I run, my mom screams to me to get back to the car, but it is too late. I enter the mill and notice a small glowing rock and it is nice and beautiful. "Mom! It is okay!" I yell back. I bend down and poke the rock with a stick, but the stick doesn't burn. So I get closer, and feel no heat, I bend down and lick my finger and touch it. It is cool to the touch. "Kelvin don't touch that!" My mother finally catches up and grabs my shoulder. As she does so, I look up to the small hole that it created in the roof. It was perfectly round, as if it wasn't a meteorite but a laser beam that burned through the roof. I focus on the night sky through the hole and step between the meteorite and the hole, and instantly a brilliant flash of light comes down through the hole and I disappear. My mother screams, "Kelvin!" as I evaporate into nothingness.Fade outAmerican Country Road - 8:30 amFade inFiretrucks and ambulances and police cars line up around an old white station wagon. Firemen running back and forth and policemen are getting statements from the mother.I am field agent, of the Federal Bureaus of Investigations, missing persons unit. Routine has called me to this piece of nowhere where a child has gone missing, perhaps even murdered possibly by the mother. It was my job to ensure that all the facts were in place. I let the police take their statements, I will check those later. It is a shame really, this woman looks sincere about her story as they investigate her son goes missing but they aren't buying it.A police officer takings a statement says to the mother, "So let me get this straight, you saw a comet."I interrupt him, "She said a meteor," The police officer looks at me with some disdain, "Sorry miss, a meteor..." He looks at me again for sarcastic approval. "...flies through the sky and lands crash into the watermill." "Yes," Kelvin's mother nods wiping her tears. "Miss, their is hardly any damage done to the watermill, what you are explaining would mean there would be not much left, maybe even a crater." The police officer casts doubt on her story."I don't know why, but I am telling you the truth." She says between a small sob.I believe her, a small voice inside me tells me that she is telling the truth. Why? Because I am a Christian, to be more exact, I trust the small whisper of the Holy Spirit concerning these cases and the Lord has not led me astray yet. In fact this isn't the first time I have heard such a story. Three of my last cases involved similar stories, but this is the first one that had involved a child. I have done research on similar cases around the world, and although some elements of the story changes, the basic progression of the story remains the same. The conclusion, as some of my compatriots tell me, is possible alien abductions. Something, being a Christian, goes against everything I was taught but I believe something weird is definitely involved in this case.I walk over to where the firemen have done checking the watermill for a possibility that the boy had fallen into a small water hole below the watermill. They had their diving unit and everything. I show them my badge and they let me in closer. "Find anything?" I ask."Nothing," The lead fireman relays his news, "It is deep, but basically if the kid fell in, we would have found him." I nod, "Keep up the good work guys, thanks." Crossing a police line around a small hole which is said to be where the kid disappeared, literally. I notice dusty footprints of the child, lead to the hole but not away. I look up instinctively and notice a hole in the roof. "That is interesting." I say stepping over the hole to get a better look at what I am seeing. I see a small twinkle of a star... ...a bright flash consumes me.Alien Space Craft - Time unknownStrapped to a table, I cannot move. I have had these experiences before. They call them sleep paralysis. It is where the body is asleep while the mind is wide awake. Though, I have never had this experience on a cold metal table and rows and rows of bodies hanging from various wires and tubing all around me. I try to speak, but I find I cannot say a word. That is when I noticed two dark figures approaching me from my left side. I cannot move, I do not even think they know that I am awake. All I can do is hope to God, that He is watching over me.As the two figures approach it becomes very clear that these are not normal. They are two lanky gray beings with large fly like eyes. Definitely the things people call alien. They don't have mouthes, but I can hear their voices clearly. "This one is awake." It says.I try to speak even louder, "In..." I get the first word out, "...the..." I work all my energy to say the phrase which has given me so much strength, "...Name..." I can feel my tongue wanting to fall back in my mouth, "...of..." one last Word, "...JESUS" as I say my Savior's Name, I can could speak clearly and with strength, "let me go!"The two beings take a step back and instead of cowering in fear, they seem very much surprised. "In the Name of Jesus?" The creatures say together."Yes." I now sit up, realizing I am naked and probably about to be probed. "In the Name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior, ruler of all that is created you have no right over me." I turn my body ready to fight these things physically if I had to. It was then, did I realize, I was actually out of body, and my body was still laying down. These creatures were both physical and spiritual, they saw both my physical form laying down, and my spiritual form sitting up."We did not know..." The one alien says by the spirit placing a hand out hesitantly to calm me down. "...He is our Lord and Savior too." That is when they began to tell me of God, who had come into His own creation through His Son, Jesus Christ. Who had about 2000 years ago, raised from the dead and in fact filled the whole universe, just as Ephesians said He did. All of creation mourned, including these extra-terrestial beings, because they were all in bondage to sin, but then Jesus had set them free showing them the truth."So why do you kidnap us and experiment on us?" I said.They both laugh lightly, that is when I realized that I was not being experimented on. It seemed we were being collected as pets of some sort. They explain that I was the first to ever address them, they did not know we even spoke in the spirit. They misunderstood our speech and screams as we would understand a cat meow. "Will you return us all back to our home planet?" I asked."Yes, we will, we are sorry. We have good news to tell our homeworld, that Jesus is the Savior of all the universe!"Then I find myself standing in a field with a million or so others from around the world. Others who also were kidnapped in the same fashion, from different times and places.The End.
Hi, Willie. All I can say is that I have not intentionally added words to scripture. Using www.scripture4all.org I find 11 words total with strongs references in Genesis 3:20. If there is a more accurate reference to Hebrew and Greek words of Scripture, by all means point me in that direction.
True, the word "becomes" is not a strict word for word translation, but it is more accurate that "was" since there does not appear to be a direct past tense definition. But in any case from my source I have paid attention to a word that is there.

Airaid PowerAid Throttle Body Spacer
The POWERAID TBS concept was developed to enhance mid-range power, torque and fuel efficiency. The unique dyno-proven "Helix Bore" of the POWERAID TBS causes a spinning action of the incoming air-charge as it passes through the throttle body. This extremely beneficial air-charge carries all the way into the combustion chamber, producing a super-atomized mixture, which produces tremendous gains in mid-range power and overall efficiency. This is the key element to the horsepower success behind each POWERAID TBS.
We've got you covered! POWERAID Throttle Body Spacers (TBS) are available for most popular trucks and sport utility vehicles. We offer POWERAID for early and late Chevy Silverado, Suburban and Tahoe models, S-10's and Jimmy's. Other models include the newest generation Ford Super Duty/Excursion, F-150/Expedition, Dodge Durango, Dakota, Toyota 3.4L V6 Tacoma and Tundra. We also manufacture POWERAID TBS kits for carbureted applications, such as Holley 2 & 4 barrels, and Quadra-jet carburetors. We manufacture a total of over 40 different POWERAID TBS kits specifically designed for each individual vehicle type.
All POWERAID TBS kits are manufactured from aircraft quality billet 6061-T6 aluminum. Each kit includes all the necessary gaskets, hardware and precision brackets to maintain proper throttle and cruise control geometry. POWERAID TBS kits can be installed in less than one hour. In fact, most kits are ready to go in only half an hour, with no drilling or cutting required. A POWERAID TBS is the ultimate intake system combination when teamed up with our exclusive AIRAID Intake Systems.

Is Justin Bieber Upset About His Grammys Snub? He Responds
Justin Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, tweeted that he was disappointed that Justin didn't get any Grammy nominations, but what does Justin think?
Scooter talked more about the Grammys snub at Z100's Jingle Ball, but at the end of his own interview, Justin turned to the camera and said, "Thank you to all my beautiful fans out there. I don't need a Grammy to have your love. You guys are still incredible."
He also tweeted a link to the Z100 interview, adding, "and i met what i said at the end. finally answered about the grammys. I got you guys. that is all i need. Im all good."
Aww. Good fans are better than an award anyway.

The USC Aiken men continue their history-making championship quest tonight when they tackle Drury University in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II men's basketball tournament, and fans who couldn't travel to Louisville, Ky., for the game are invited to a viewing party at USC Aiken's Convocation Center at 375 Robert Bell Parkway.
"We want to give our supporters the best kind of experience that we can if they can't make it to Kentucky," said Brian Hand, who is USC Aiken's sports information director and assistant athletic director for communications and promotions.
Doors will open at 8 p.m., 30 minutes before the contest's scheduled tip-off, and there will be no charge for admission. Pizza and drinks will be available while supplies last.
The game will be live-streamed online at NCAA.com. Viewing party attendees will be able to watch it on two big screens in the Convocation Center.
"We encourage everybody to come out and enjoy the game with fellow Pacer fans," Hand said.
USC Aiken is making its first appearance in the tournament's Elite Eight. The Pacers advanced to the quarterfinals by winning the Southeast Regional tournament for the first time last week.
USC Aiken (25-7) is ranked No. 20 nationally and Drury of Springfield, Mo., (28-4) is ranked No. 7.
Aiken Standard Sports Editor Noah Feit is with the Pacers in Louisville and will provide complete coverage of the game in Thursday's edition of the newspaper and online at aikenstandard.com.
He also is posting updates and observations (via the username @astvsportsfront) that can be viewed on twitter.com and aikenstandard.com.
Feit's preview of the game appears today in the Aiken Standard on page 1B as does Sports Reporter Eric Russell's column that offers his unique perspective on the Pacers' unprecedented tournament triumphs. Russell is a graduate of USC Aiken.

Outside of the fact that it would just be cool to own a RPD, are there any major practical advantages over a RPK?
I have a 1919 already so I have a little piece of the beltfed fever. It seems though that the RPK can do basically everything a RPD can, and then some. Enlighten me.

The Dalton Gallery presents "Groundstory: tales from the shade of the South." The exhibition is
organized with support from The Margaret Virginia Philip Art Endowment
Fund. "Groundstory" is
a gathering of visual artists and writers whose work is rooted to place
with a firm foundation in the southeastern United States. They narrate
tales, piecing together location, history and experience through nuance and direct narrative. Some shovel stories into grains of
a photograph, others lay words like bricks into a poem. They might
include objects that reveal where the author comes from, that pose
questions like where were they found—were they dug up, and if so, how
deeply were they buried? Weather systems might play an important role,
from the swell of a flood to a too bright day. Many who spend
considerable time in these humid climes are storytellers. Through the
land flows their sense of selves. Stories of devotion and death are
embedded in raked red earth yards and in houses of peeling paint. In
"Groundstory," the artist's notion of what a story is expands just like
the contradictions of the place.

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
Add some worthwhile PvE and I'll come back. Absent that....I'll be absent.
A game that has only PvP will never be a great success. It limits the player base to a small percentage of the total players.

Agreed, it's a very fun PvP game, but it needs 5-man dungeons a-la WoW. I know, I'm the anti-Christ for saying WoW did something right. But honestly, a content-rich PvE experience could only help the few PvP'ers left in WAR.

I've come and gone already. The free trial did inject new blood into the system, and I was surprised by the surge of people even in T2. On the other hand, the type of people I've met are about 50/50, in regards to player personalities. That might not be important to some, and it has very little importance to me, but many of these people are expecting T1 in T2, T3. When it isn't, they leave. T2 is kind of interesting for the fact that it is the first true War zone where the free trial people see the way the game REALLY is.
Needless to say, there is a lot of griping, moaning, and general jerkery going on in those areas. I've honestly never seen so many people start/leave a game at a single level bracket. Now the forums are lit up with "make the free trial 1-20!" I'm only hoping they don't go free to play to appease the very people who are loudly proclaiming...yet leave a tier later.

the problem with warhammer is they made it a get in quick get your pvp jollies off and log out. there is little to no depth to the game unless there is tons of PVP action.
the game to me has always felt like it tried to be an RPG fragfest (without the twitch based combat). little to no crafting, no immersion garbage PVE and nothing to do except PVP.
i never felt like that in DAOC, when i logged in even at max level there seemed to be something to do even if it wasn't PVP.

No, not more PvE. It will never be WoW-quality - ever. Mythic put too much PvE into the game. Too much lousy PvE.
More small-scale PvP options, smaller queues for off-hours scenarios, and FIX THE END GAME. Those three things would convince me to play (and pay) again.

I am sick to death of PvP, I wanted PvE type areas and instances that were 5,10,20+. As the previous comment said, WoW did something right with it. This whole endgame PvP within WAR just isn't what it was hyped up to be. EA/Mythic has been aware of this since roughly 2mths after the game came out. It's been well over a year now and still no real supplement to make up for it. That's a sure sign that the developer is only willing to apply small band-aids inside of new limbs which the game is and has been in dyer need of.
Momo sucks, I have proof.

The problem is... itemization and looks. Honestly i never felt excited about earning a new weapon or armor in the game since its going to look the same anyways. The whole pvp dynamic between factions was just boring after awhile, variety felt absent. The whole world felt like a magical ladder, 3 areas with a one way arrow pointing to the next zone. It would be great to see some sort of building mechanic where you can take over land and actually begin to build onto it. They needed another faction as well, like DAoC to keep the pvp interesting. The PvE side does need some serious help as well as the class balance and design.
Originally posted by Rabenwolf
Even DAoC players admit that the third faction didn't always help - sometimes it was the two top dogs kicking the patsy. I think that is a misjudged panacea. Login queues and a non gear-based reward system at end game would have done a lot more good.

Few things... There are 6 man dungeons in WAR.
Endless trials have created more problems than it actually fixed. Just like with other trials - the trick is to get players to buy the product. The problem is... when they have bought the product - the game is not delivering in any department to really prolonge the stay of players. The end result in many cases is that playes start to create twinks (toppgeared characters) in T1. Then when the sub runs out they only play the twinks. Overall I think its now obvious that even tho two maps of the game are active - the rest of the content has actually SUFFERED because of this change. Last few patches have been focused on REDUCING the actual content of the game - and this will continue with next patch - When Mythic will REMOVE scenario maps... instead of actually focusing on changing them (fixing them).
What everyone can agree on now is that WAR is going into maintainance mode whith very litte new content added. Then it also becomes a question how long the game will be able to maintain intrest from players.
WAR is one of the big loosers in the last year if we take a look at Xfire. What we can say for sure is that free endless trial has not been able to make any permanent impression on the game. Considering that the free endless ocntent is actually the best part of the entire game (rest of tier 1 has been destroyed with these changes) it becomes very obvious that the game is dying. If not already dead. And Mythic can not afford to really do anything more with the game. Thats the part that everyone is realising now.

You crit the English Language for 7,341 damage.
Like the author suggested, I find Tier 1 to be the most fun. Tier 2 is still fun, and adds new elements, but not as much fun as tier 1. Tier 3 is pretty much the exact same as Tier 2, except with new locations and rewards. T2 and T3 pretty much amount to constant flying between zones to capture whatever keep is not defended, and lots of Battle Objective taking which is tedious and gets old very quickly. Why do warbands avoid each other and mostly go for undefended keeps? If you pit one Warband against another, the one inside the keep defending will beat the one outside the keep on offense 9 times out of 10. Oil is overpowered and can be HEALED, and 2-shots people trying to enter a keep. It's too easy to defend, and too hard to attack. So instead of engaging PVP/RVR, you PVE and avoid the other sides players. Kind of counter-intuitive for a PVP game, there should be incentives to fight rather than avoid.
The beauty of Tier 1 is that there are no keeps and the 3 Battle Objectives are close together and close to the 2 warcamps, so battles are frequently being waged. If you try to take an undefended BO, usually the other side will notice and send over a force to recover it - which is easy because they're all close by. Multiple BOs can be in play simultaneously, forcing people to make tough strategic decisions as to which to fight for and which to abandon, or to split forces. And with the endless free trial, there's always plenty of people each day for long periods of time. There's wild PVP everywhere, and nobody is looking to avoid it.
Compare that to T2 or T3, where often times YOU ARE ALL ALONE! Can't RVR/PVP without a bunch of other people on both sides! Have to be online at the right times to get any action. The keeps and BOs are spaced far apart, requiring lots of running around, and now there's 6 for each pairing, instead of the 3 or 4 in T1. So instead of fighting over BOs, if an enemy warband sees you taking BOs on the map, they run off to the other pairing and grab those while you're busy. If you check the maps and see where they are, by the time you all fly over and get everyone organized, they're all done and gone. A lot of times this happens with keeps too. By the time someone notices one being taken, and everyone rushes over, it's too late. So instead of confronting enemy players, fly off to another zone and take an undefended keep - more PVE, yay. It gets so monotonous and old.
T2 and T3 need some changes - some incentive to fight against players rather than avoid them! That would make the game worth subscribing to. Others have also said the RVR lakes are too big, objectives too far apart. Running around BO humping in a PVP game is a sign of failure on the part of the Devs. War is definitely not everywhere.
Lets stop using Xfire as a barometer of player population. It only represents a small demo, mainly young ones with no attention span.....
As in radio or TV.....'time spent listening/watching' is the real number to look at.....

This is one of the fundamental problems with WAR IMO - the zone design.
The zones seem to be deliberately over-sized and difficult to navigate. Why would anyone want to make it difficult for players to get from point A to point B when you *should* be trying to get them together so they can fight?
Most of my memories of open-world RvR the game involve running around rather than fighting. Or getting lost trying to find the fight until I could learn the convoluted zone layout which the inaccurate maps did not help.
Or sitting around waiting for that 3min BO timer to run down. Never once did I have an opposing force attack my warband during the 3 min timer, it's a useless mechanic.
I liked the Scenarios in WAR but the PvE, Crafting and open-world parts of the game need serious work. The lack of RP mechanics doesn't help either, I understand you can finally /sit in the game. Simple things like that should have been in from the start.
Perhaps Mythic's directed beta-testing is partly at fault. They did not leave the servers up but instead used 'focused' beta-tests. Maybe a MMORPG needs a closed beta-test where the servers are up 24/7.
