WAR’s State of the Game leaves many happy.
Early this morning Mark Jacobs annouinced his State of the Game artical up on the Warhammer Online Herald. All i have to say people is if your playing WAR get excited. If your not, consider that to change. Now its a long peice of writing so i’m going to sum up what was said.
- Smoothest MMO launch ever but Mythic is still working hard
-WAR 1.1 (the first major patch) is the purpose of the SotG address and will be released later this Fall
- The mail system is going to be sped up so its no longer a pain and with new features
- CTD’s (Crashes to Desktop) will almost be “non-existant”
- RvR will see Improved Gear Drops and Drop Ratesand implimentation of an RvR-influance system
-Chat system is being overhauled
- Server transfers will be implimented but only from high pop to lower pop server and will be free
-14 new Chain Quests, 2 new Lairs, and tons of Tome of Knowledge additions
- A laundry list of balance issues and Class changes will being to make way for the last bit of news
and finally the best news of all
- December will see the release of the Dark Elf Black Guard and the Empire Knight of the Blazing Sun as a patch update.
For more check out the story yourself.
I cant wait for the Knight of BS or the BG… Sweet!
Lord no, not the Black Guard, the Dark Elves can already wipe the floor with High Elves. Love to see how they address the inbalance issues as it is.
maybe the Empire will get a better shot at Chaos… but know knows
I’m not sure as to what Ares is talking about. He must have had a poor HE experience so far is all.
The addition of the tanks will be great for this game, more so than the other 2 DPS classes that are missing. Right now, its fairly difficult to get a group together for T1 PQs due to the lack of tanks in those zones.
I know what he means. HE get raped by DoK. They kick the Swordmasters ass. But Ares the empire and de classes are changing a bit. They said that the other classes took abilities and playstyles from the missing classes. The game going to be more balanced now
what he said is pretty much true on most servers… The HE are raped by the DE… even without their tank class… all this will do is give them a greater advantage… as for the Empire, we don’t loose because of the non-existing tank… we loose because everyone thinks its cool to be destruction… on our sever where its almost balanced we still get massed up… Destruction has almost all the RvR zones… the Scenarios are even imo… win about 50% of them… so that doesnt bother me at all…
I actually play on both sides of the fence.
looking forward for more information about this. thanks for sharing. Eugene
