Sometimes side effects are not sooo bad. This time it’s the introduction of the sc-weapons.
Of course it sucks many players out of the RvR and into the sc to farm those tokens, but this is a chance..at least on Drakenwald. With fewer people in RvR the campaign gets slowed down to a speed that feels [...]

News in the Herald..The prices for the SC-weapons got changed.
What I like about those changes.. Not all prices were reduced. The prices were changed so that it fits better to the player progression in lower tiers. This is a change I really like. The higher RR weapons stay nearly unchanged. All in all a smoother [...]

In a game you often have to decide what you want to do next, how to spec, etc.
This week had one bigger decision for me …
I respecced my Runepriest back to healing. Why? Well.. being Valaya/Grungni specced is nice if you run around in a group with 2 healers and if you don’t need that [...]

No big comment..just look at the career distribution and think for yourself. Maybe I’ll add my comment on this..but right now I think that the screenshots tell enough..
Please note: I’m aware that there are several characters appearing twice and this has no real value in terms of population.. but I just had to laugh at [...]

Another dev diary..this one’s about the new scenario structure.
I’m still not convinced that this change will do the game any good. Not even to a small amount. This dev diary is not even trying to sound in any way enthusiastic.. it’s more or less a “we are trying our best..don’t punch us *searches for cover*” [...]

It’s something that came into my attention months ago..It’s the “the next patch will save the game”-attitude from Mythic and the folks who play WAR.
Now with patch 1.3.4 coming near the discussion and reasoning on things that are wrong already goes to patch 1.3.5 and what it will fix. It’s about urgently needed fixes or [...]

that need to be fixed in WAR. The scenario structure would have not been on the top of the list ..at least for me.
One thing I’d liked to be ..polished, fixed or somewhat changed is the purging mechanism in the tomb of the vulture lord.
The basic idea behind that concept is imo quiet fun. You [...]

Healers tend to be the first target any group choses to kill  and so healers are used to sort of tank in rvr..they are the prey and normally don’t want any attention from the enemy. It’s always stressful if you happen to have some sort of enemy targeting you..
Last week I started to try out [...]

The revised scenario changes which come with patch 1.3.4 are posted and discussed already..but I wanted to add my point of view, even if it’s late.
I’m a bit puzzled because the changes now got positive response in the forums.. It seems like the biggest concerns was the list of the scenarios, not the new structure. [...]

I reached Lt.6 rank and unlocked the Klingons..of course I immediately stopped playing Federation and created a Klingon Tactical Captain
This character was created with no min/max-strategy in mind, just playing a Klingon and Klingon scientist just sounds wrong.. My Federation character is a scientist, but I had never the feeling of playing a [...]

I have been given a 10d trial key for Star Trek Online (again thanks to River)..so I played it yesterday for the first time.
This is not a review..just my first impressions.
I liked it.. Space fights were engaging and a lot of fun, though I had not much of a clue how to effectively use the [...]

I don’t think that anyone expects Runepriests to be the best healer in the game..Some do a good job, but in general the other healing careers can easily top the numbers in any scenario (which is no good indicator, but well.. people throw those numbers at you, if you are not up there in the [...]

You maybe know, that one of my alts is an Engineer.. one reaction to the patch notes for 1.3.4 in the official forum made me laugh..
Im glad they nerfed tangling wire, that ability was op as waffle.  I could sometimes get ticks of over 22 damage! thats like 130 damage all together!
My thanks go to [...]

It’s good to hear that Mythic is planning to re-think the plans of streamlining the scenario-structure.
They should now analyze why some scenarios are fun and some just aren’t fun in any way. Just to name one example ..Thunder Valley.. I can’t remember anyone liking this scenario. It’s just too much running around and to few [...]
