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 [...]

Greetings!

We have the following Hot Fixes for you this evening:

Realm vs. Realm

• Fixed an issue where new RvR Trophy items were selling for an improper amount.
• Due to the above issue higher Tier RvR currency was entering the world at an unintended rate. As a result we have removed all illegitimately gained RvR currency. As a result of the fix implemented to address illegitimately earned currency, all players have had the corresponding Tome unlocks removed. If you are amongst the players who legitimately earned a Tome unlock allowing you to earn higher Tiers of RvR currency prior to this issue, we will be implementing a solution allowing you to repurchase the unlock using the weapon you previously purchased. This solution is not yet implemented, so please do not destroy any weapons previously purchased. If you had already destroyed the weapon, please submit an appeal using the in game support tool and it will be investigated by Customer Service.

Due to issues with higher tiers of RvR Weapon currency entering the world in an unintended manner we have temporarily disabled the RvR Weapon Quartermasters in the Capital Cities.

Please keep your eyes on the Herald for updates regarding this issue.

Thank you for your continued support.

Obviously where Warhammer is concerned, quite a few. So welcome Carrie to the depressingly long list of underperformers. Maybe a little bit harsh, but so many changes at the helm, doesn’t really bode well for the game, now does it.
As you can probably deduce, I am briefly back, as I take a minor break from battling [...]

One of the most anticipated features of Patch 1.3.4 was the introduction of new RvR weapons. Over the course of testing, concerns were voiced by members of the community regarding the costs of the weapons.  As a development team, we made assurances that the costs would be watched and adjusted if necessary.  We’re now pleased to announce that after a great deal of analysis, discussion, and feedback, we’ve just reduced the costs of many of the RvR weapons, with a focus on the lower Renown Ranks.

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 [...]

WAR’s first Weekend Warfront has come and gone.  Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.  One of the nice things about scenarios, like The Ironclad, only making an appearance every so often is that it can be improved more easily.  While…

…what would it be and how?

I would do a complete overhaul of the Magus. You see the problem with Magus in WAR is they’re nothing like the tabletop and background story version. In Warhammer the Magus (and in fact all Chaos Sorcerers) are heavily a…

Big news of the day is Blizzard’s clarification of how stats will be changing in Cataclysm. Long and short of it, Defense rating is gone, Armor Penetration is gone, Block Value is gone, Parry reworked and a couple other notables.
For us, the big news is Haste, which has been alleged will affect our rune cooldowns. [...]

Does it have PvP?  That seems the be the question asked about every game these days.  Even the games that are truly meant to be PvE have tried accommodating PvP in some way.  The cost is becoming quite evident.  PvP is making PvE worse.  We’ve seen game after game release and whether or not they’re [...]

My apologies if your sig is misspelled, this is how it was logged in Tio.

Anyway, congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who attended. We had a great turnout, much better than expected for a small local tourney like this. I was hoping to get maybe a dozen, and we had over 20 people show up. Hopefully we can all do this again sometime, I think there will be some vids posted later. I hope everyone had a great time. Thanks again, and I hope we all fight again sometime.

It’s been a busy couple of days for WAR, patch 1.3.4 went live and last weekend was the first of the all-new Weekend Warfront events. As such its time to have a little ramble about how it all went.
 
First off, it’s too early to tell what implicat…

The past few months have been an amazing time to be a gamer.  There have been so many good games released that I’ve had a hard time keeping up.  In fact, I have even been neglecting games that I enjoy.  It turns out that I am a two game …

Despite my lack of blog posts about Allods lately, and the extreme amount of negativity and cynicism surrounding the game from just about everyone under the sun, I’m still playing.  In fact, I’m playing the game a lot.  I’m now over halfway through level 24 and working through the first few waves of quests in [...]

Of the seven professions in Allods Online (Disassembling, Mining, Herbalism, Tailoring, Leatherworking, Blacksmithing, and Alchemy) I went with Disassembling.  My reasoning?  I didn’t want to have to run around to find Mining or Herbalism nodes.  I can Disassemble straight from my bag as long as I have the required tools.  Lazy, I know.
When I first [...]
