Well it was my 2nd night of dungeoning in Altdorf and even though we successfully completed all 3 dungeons, I can honestly say it wasn’t the most inspiring way to spend 4/5 hours of valuable free time. It wasn’t the people, they were all fine and 99% of the time a joy to be with. But the [...]

Well tonight was the 1st time I have visited the 3 level 40 dungeons of our fine capital city Altdorf. The dungeons were Sigmars Crypt, Warpblade Tunnels and another one which was a repeat of the Warpblade tunnels, so was instantly forgettable. +1 for dungeon count, -1 for interesting content, congratulations Mythic. It took the group about 4 hours [...]

Yep, if you prove a helpful soul to your fellow forum trollsparticipants, sorry what could I have been thinking. Anyway you will be awared the title Veteran. This will [...]

Since I am not posting a lot of information and commentary at the moment, this doesn’t mean other people aren’t providing valuable news.
Dreamlane @ Garrison Of War is onto the 3rd part of his 1.2 patch evaluation, which today is showing some nice stuff for scenario’s and potion persistance through death. So pop on over [...]

I am taking a week off to work on the house and get some painting done. Hopefully fill in a bit of time with my White Lion and get him up to 20 by the end of the week. Well the wife & child are away and it would be a waste not to make some real [...]

I currently have about 9 blokes working on the house, 3 plumbers, 3 roofers and 3 general builders. So feeling a bit hemmed in within the house and my software development environment keeps bombing out executing a program. It doesn’t help it takes 5 minutes to fire up over the Internet. So all in all [...]

This has really got me excited, since it’s going to offer the player base a lot of opportunity to show some real strategy, that’s of course if they can make the effort. Now if your server is wildly imbalanced, then this mode will just offer the opportunity for a one sided slaughter fest and a 2 [...]

Dreamlane from Garrison Of War has started posting titbits from his 1.2 patch trip onto the public test server. So if you are stuck at work or just don’t have time to go onto the test server yourself, then pop on over to his blog, for a bit of a nose around on some of [...]

This has no bearing on Warhammer, so stop reading now. Unless of course you want to find out, how I spent my weekend.
It was spent in my loft, laying down satellite, TV aerial and data cables for it’s impending conversion to a living space. I will be honest, I have seriously gone over the top with [...]

It was early this morning that I saw the patch notes for 1.2 come up, so I had a really quick scan, quickly copying them into an email and sent them to work, for a proper read over the first coffee of the day. No need to rush through them, then.
You know what, it’s actually [...]

Yes, you know what I am talking about, it’s the train of people that just goes from BO to BO to Keep, worshiping at the shrine of the holy RP. Are people that lacking in imagination that they just go along with the path of least resistance? Their present concept of fun, is this monotonous trawl through the zones, accumulating [...]

Well it seems that a number of blogs have hit upon roughly the same city capture issues over the weekend. You see I am not losing my mind. Now Reroller put something together which was much more coherently constructed than my previous days rant, so pop over and have a good read. Oh yes, if you also have [...]

What a bitter disappointment.
Well I would say bitter disappointment, if I could have actually reached it. You see there is a bit of an annoying flaw. To get to the scenario that controls ultimate access to the IC, you need to go to a portal in the north of the Maw, which is north of the chaos wastes. Well [...]

Inevitable, unfortunately. I don’t think anyone is under the illusion that this 2nd round of job cuts would have been necessary if Mythic/EA had hit the targets they had in mind. No one will touch the goose which is laying the golden eggs, as long as the golden eggs keep coming. Maybe it’s laying brass ones at the [...]

Now one of the more important things from last weeks announcements, which was probably overlooked in the media blitz surrounding the Slayer, Choppa and the Tomb Of Kings, was the proposed outline for the domination system for flipping a zone.
This complementary method of zone flipping will take “longer” than the current method. The idea is [...]
