Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning

[Nadril]

Nadril, what's the fastest way to level up? I'm a level 5 black orc, but even now leveling seems to take forever.

 

 

 

Honestly? Just play the game. PvP, PvE, quest, PQ's. Do what you want. Everything gives you XP so don't worry about it.

[InkofDeath]

I love how the black orcs totally dominate the top 10 on the server there, lol. Wonders if there's any reason for that?

[Nadril]

I would guess that me filtering it to show only Black orcs would be a great reason. (read: I don't think 1 black orc is in top 10 atm)

I'm just going to go and fry my hand until I realize reality. :wall:

[Vidi]

Haven't played this for a few days actually. Leveling is meh. I want it to be faster. Should try get back into it cause I would love to see some of the end-game pvp, pve and Marauder skills. Hmm...

[nine naked men]

It's here. [bleep]ing finally. Ordered it a couple weeks ago, and it's fiiiiiiiinally here. Installing now.

What? Leveling is so fast. It's been like 2 weeks and I'm 30 out of 40. I could have been higher by now too.

 

 

 

 

 

Than again I'm sure most people "think" it is slow because there is only 40 levels, not 70 or 80.

[Vidi]

True true. Would like the quest exp to scale better though. Will have to get on and do abit of PQ's and stuff later.

[krisc6]

Im waiting for a freind to get the game, will make early leveling less naueseating

[nine naked men]

Level 7 Witch Hunter, and a Level 6 Magus. Great fun just PvPing with mates, and PQing stuff. PQs are really awesomely thought out, too. Works well.

[Nadril]

Short but some pretty good stuff. TAB target improvements, UI improvements and "out of range" fix.

 

 

 

 

* Players no longer need to scroll down through the EUALA when logging into the game. The window now defaults to the bottom, and players need only check the Agreement box and click accept.

 

 

 

* The war against the gold sellers continues! We have made improvements to the Appeal system to allow players to report spam messages from gold sellers more quickly.

 

 

 

* TAB-targeting should now more consistently select the nearest enemy in the player's field of view.

 

 

 

* Corrected an issue that was preventing players from adding new friends to their friend list even while the number of existing friends was below the list's size limit.

 

 

 

* Fixed the issue that was causing players to sometimes get stuck in a particular animation state.

 

 

 

* Monsters which change velocity while moving in combat should no longer return Target is Out of Range sometimes when attacked by players.

 

 

 

* The /ignore command will now work more consistently.

 

 

 

* In response to player feedback, we have made improvements to player pet movement and behaviors.

 

 

 

* The Pet window should no longer disappear when its master is zoning or entering the game.

 

 

 

* We made many UI fixes including a new "autoloot" feature requested by many players.

 

 

 

* Guild cloaks will now display their heraldry properly.

 

 

 

* We have made several improvements to the chat window, and it should now be more intuitive to use and set up. A number of chat window issues were resolved in the process. We are continuing to work on your requests about chat, with more improvements to come in the future.

 

 

 

 

Combat and Careers

 

 

 

Shaman

 

 

 

* The debuff from "Hurts, Don't It" will no longer stack with itself

 

 

 

Content

 

 

 

* We have identified a couple of serious bugs that trivialize the content in the Lost Vale dungeon. We have disabled the dungeon entrance while we investigate these issues. Thank you for your understanding as we work to improve your in game experience!

 

 

 

* The Public Quest "Wagon Defense" will no longer get stuck because of objectives spawning in trees.

 

 

 

* Fixed a bug in the "Wagon Defense" quest

 

 

 

* The quest Killing Time should now allow players to gain credit when killing enemy characters in the Stone Troll Crossing scenario.

 

 

 

* Lorcar Perrithan no longer offers the quest Phoenix Gate. Players can now obtain this quest from the Uthorin Warscout.

 

 

 

* The Gunbad instance lockouts will now be 30 minutes instead of 24 hours.

 

 

 

* Fixed an issue that was preventing Erikwuf Wrathbound from offering the "Good Will" quest.

 

 

 

* Some monsters have been identified that were dropping Destruction items for Order players. These monsters will now drop Order items for Order players.

 

 

 

* Fixed an issue with the spawning of burning bushes in the "Rewards for the Faitfhful" quest.

 

 

 

 

* Player pets have learned to behave themselves. They should now listen to their masters and stay focused while in combat with monsters, rather than dancing erratically. In addition, they should follow obediently at their masters side rather than spinning around.

 

 

 

* Monsters that are rooted in place will no longer appear to chase you if you flee from them, even though they are still rooted.

 

 

 

* Continued improvements have been made to client stability and performance.

 

 

 

* We have fixed an issue that was awarding an overly large experience bonus to players who killed many monsters in rapid succession (IE, several killing blows within a second or two of each other). This will largely only affect small groups that use AE abilities to kill off a very large number of monsters with a single ability activation.

 

 

 

* Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause roots to last longer than they should.

 

 

 

* The delay between sending multiple mails has been reduced from 20 seconds to 5 seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Lion

 

 

 

* Fixed an issue that was allowing players to use the "Pounce" ability without an enemy target. The ability now requires an enemy target to jump towards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

* A feature has been added to User Settings which allows players to auto loot corpses by default. Players can enable this feature by selecting the always auto loot option, under the game play section. Please note that holding shift while looting with the option enabled will cause you to loot normally. When the option is disabled, shift-loot will still auto loot all.

 

 

 

* Guild cloaks will now retain heraldry settings through zoning.

 

 

 

* Corrected an issue that was preventing players from adding new friends to their friend list even while below the list's size limit.

 

 

 

* Improvements to the behavior of TAB-targeting. This should now more accurately target the nearest enemy in the player's field of view.

 

 

 

* The /ignore command will now work more consistently.

 

 

 

* The Pet window should no longer disappear when zoning or entering the game.

 

 

 

* In some cases, the chat window would reset to default position upon logout. This should no longer occur.

 

 

 

* Resizing the chat window should no longer cause the chat window to reposition itself.

 

 

 

* The text entry button is now colored to match the color of the channel the player is currently defaulting to for text entry.

 

 

 

* Hitting enter no longer fades in the entire chat window, instead it just fades the text entry box.

 

 

 

* Changing resolutions should no longer cause the chat tab labels to disappear.

 

 

 

* If more chat tabs are created than the width of the chat window is able to display, then buttons allowing the player to scroll forward and backwards through the chat tabs will appear.

 

 

 

* When resizing the chat window, players will now get a resizing cursor.

 

 

 

* Left-clicking on the chat window now causes it to fade immediately.

 

 

 

* When dragging a chat tab off of the chat window players will now get a phantom chat tab until they release the mouse button, instead of creating and dragging the new tab immediately.

 

 

 

* When docking one chat window to another, an arrow indicator is now displayed on the chat tab listing which indicates where in the order of chat tabs the tab will now be placed.

 

 

 

* When creating a new tab, the properties of the new tab are cloned from the original tab chosen. For example, using New Tab on the Combat tab menu creates a Combat(1) tab with all the same filters and font settings of the original Combat tab.

 

 

 

* Players will no longer be able to use the /petname command unless they have a White Lion out.

 

 

 

* New Cycle Enemy Target action added as a handier version of Target Next Enemy. This action is bound to Tab by default; existing characters will not have their keybindings changed, so if you would like to use this action instead of Target Next Enemy with your current character, you will need to change this keybind.

 

 

 

* Fixed an issue that was causing the health bar fade option to work incorrectly.

 

 

 

* We have re-skinned the Guild Registrar interaction window.

 

 

 

* Fixed an issue that was causing the health bar fade option to work incorrectly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Many parts of the UI have been modified to fit localized text properly:

 

 

 

- Quest Titles in the Quest Dialog window

 

 

 

- Zone Names in the Zone Loading screen

 

 

 

- The Title Bar in the Open Parties and Warbands window

 

 

 

- Tactic Names in the Guild Tactics store window

 

 

 

- Zone Names in the Guild Roster tab of the Guild window

 

 

 

- Permission Text in the Admin tab of the Guild window

 

 

 

- Alliance Information in the Alliance tab of the Guild window

 

 

 

- Requirement (Blue) Ability Tooltip text

 

 

 

* Fixed an issue with chat text in localized versions of the game.

Sounds like a decent update though I don't play. So I don't know the needs/wants currently, but from an outside view, it looks like a promising way to update a game in the first weeks of launch.

[Seer]

if anyone here wants to play with my bro and i. we play on the Thorgrim server. we're kinda looking for people to form a small guild mainly for pve, rvr and pq. if u guys r interested post here with ur character name and profession and i'll get back to u.

[Nadril]

Yeah, it's addressing two of my main issues -- TAB targeting and the "out of range" error. And hopefully their performance improvements will help too, even though I'm running pretty decent already.

[Nadril]

Today was pretty good.

 

 

 

 

 

First I joined a warband of 20 people for T4, and participated in the first fortress siege on our server. Sadly we are out numbered when it comes to high level destruction vs order and got pushed back.

 

 

 

Then later on we did the dungeon "Bastion Stair". Didn't get too far into it, but it's such an epic dungeon. I got to tank it, and I think it was one of the first times (if not the first, at least for destruction) that it had been attempted. Either way the bosses are just nuts, and I look forward to trying to complete it.

 

 

 

 

 

Now we're just kind of chilling in a small group going around doing PQ's. It's a lot of fun.

 

 

 

 

 

Also I love it, most of the destruction players in T4 know each other -- and know the enemy T4 order. There is such a sense of community in the game, it's awesome. It feels good to be a part of something big too, instead of just being the no-name guy in the back. I'm one of the highest black orc's on the server (highest atm is... 36 or 37. I'm level 33 nearing 34) and it's just a lot of fun.

[fatbill]

Would you recommend it then Nadril?

 

 

 

Price per month to?

[krisc6]

wednesday is when my freind gets it and i think we will be all set by friday so that is when i have a second stab at WAR.

 

 

 

And messing around with a few other detsruction characters, Green skins and orcs got the best deals in terms of starting up.I actually laughed at some dialogue

[jjrox32]

Haven't been able to play much lately. Once Thanksgiving and my 5 day weekend come around after this week I'll be playing a lot more.

[InkofDeath]

Nadril's getting E-Fame, actually it reminds me of that guy at E3 who said that he was one of the first to get an item on his server, which was quite funny. :lol:

[Nadril]

It's $15 a month, and I'm enjoying it currently. That being said I'm not recommending anything, as I really don't want to sound like some Mythic salesman or something.

[krisc6]

The social side of the game needs improving, they need to create more specific channels for zones rather a "OMG I SPILLED MY CHOKLATE MILK" craptalk faction channel.

 

I also had a weird graphical bug where when you logged in you would leave a version of youre character in each frame of animation and you would just crash the game with 20 people running around creating 800 dupes of there character :P

[Nadril]

Improved chat for each zone would be nice. Either way I've found this game way more social than WoW, where for the most part the only people you interacted with was your guild at max level. Meanwhile I've been doing all sort of objectives with people from all kind of different guilds, something that would never happen in WoW.

meh, on the servers I've played on, at least at low levels, theres not been much interaction, aside from on release day. That was chaotic as hell though. People running about like headless chickens, "OMGWTF IS A PQ?!?!?!"

Given if no one wants to interact, they won't. That being said I've had more interaction in this game than WoW so far.

[Vansing]

I got this game a couple of days ago and im enjoying it so far :P

 

And yes i have seen more interaction in this game than WoW aswell, i also find it a lot more fun especially the PQs. At the moment I'm only a Level 5 Black Orc because i decided to start again on a different server :
