Welcome friends! Well, I found very interesting stories on WAR Herald – 2 new fictional stories related to WAR’s new careers the Slayer and the Choppa have been added to the WAR Herald. For the Choppa fans out there, we have Mike Lee’s “A Fistful of Choppas” and for you Slayer followers, we have Nathan Long’s “Grimnir’s Paradox”.

Welcome again friends, well we are very close to another patch for our beloved Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. I’ve found full list of all improvements :-) so…
PATCH 1.2 Improvements:

Bug Fixes:
+ Kiss of Agony – This ability will now deal Corporeal Damage.
+ Ruthless Assault – This ability will now behave correctly when interrupted.
+ Agile Escape – This ability can no longer be used when rooted.
+ Kisses will no longer be able to activate off a thrown dagger.
+ Shadow Prowler – This ability will now always be interrupted when the player is attacked.
Balance Changes
+ Enfeebling Strike – This ability has had its damage contribution from stats reduced.
+ Kiss of Betrayal – This ability will now deal Corporeal Damage.
+ Pierce Armor – This ability has had its additional armor debuff removed. This has been replaced with a self buff that will increase your Weapon Skill.
+ Kiss of Death – This ability will now deal Corporeal Damage.
+ Masterful Treachery – This ability’s bonus to damage has been lowered.
+ Sharpened Edge – This ability has had its armor debuff removed. This has been replaced with a self buff that will deal damage back to your enemy whenever they block or parry your attacks.

+ Treacherous Assault – This ability has had its damage contribution from stats reduced.
+ Sacrifices Rewarded – This ability will now absorb more damage.

+ Vehement Blades – This ability has had its damage contribution from stats reduced.

Highlighted Bug Fixes

Pets Fixed, no longer run through walls/doors and can’t hit players who aren’t in line of sight (yeeesss no more miracles during keep defend/attack….)
+ When instructed to attack a target on the other side of a closed door, pets will no longer run through the door.
+ Pets will have a more accurate line of sight when trying to use abilities on their targets.

Debuffs wont last for AGES when your in a fortress fight.
+ Under heavy server load situations, buffs and debuffs will no longer last longer than they should.

Crowd Control Nerfed.
+ We have adjusted the way that the Disorient debuff will effect characters. Instead of increasing all ability cast times by a flat value, it will now increase cast times by a % of the total cast time of the spell. As a result, melee abilities and instant cast spells will no longer be affected by Disorient since their cast time is effectively 0 seconds. Specific abilities for each career affected by this change are noted below.
+ Immovable: Duration increased to 20 seconds.

Watch out for WE/WH when your next defending a keep, now they can get in through the doors whenever they want – ohh man i can’t wait to see keep attack :D this will be really cool!!!
+ Pick Lock: Fixed a bug that prevented this ability from functioning. (another bug…)
+ Bypass Defenses: Fixed a bug that prevented this ability from functioning correctly. (this ability was f….ed up all the time….)

No more missing out on gold loot bags because you didn’t get a res in time
+ The Keep loot timers have been extended to allow more time for players to reach the loot chest. ( Yeah thanks a lot – I’ve lot already many items in that way :/

Well that’s it for today, I’will gladly test all improvements I think most important last ones…See you again on Warhammer Blog

Welcome! Today some fresh news from popular site, MMORPG.com. They annouced that Warhammer Online won the 2008 Reader’s Choice Award for Best New Game of 2008! Well,
“Mythic’s Warhammer Online and the ominous None of the Above category battled it out with WAR coming out on top with 33% of the vote. 3% more than None of the Above.”

There were also other nominees (I’m familiar only with Age of Conan) -  Atlantica Online – 18,6 %, Age of Conan – 13 %, Pirates of the Burning Sea – 4,8 %, Warhammer Online – 33,2 % and …….None of the Above 30,4% (in this one probably WoW players are included…).
WAR is still one of the most succesful MMORPG, and I’m really glad because game is really amazing – I’m still waiting for WoW destruction!

See you next time on my blog!

Welcome friends on my Warhammer Online Blog! I want to wish everyone, Happy New Year! I hope NEW YEAR will be very sucessful for all of us, full of joy and true happiness. Remember to have a break from long WAR sessions, there is nothing more important then your health ;-).

Well i must rest some time from Warhammer Online and other onlinegames are really awesome but it’s hard to live in two worlds in the same time.

Welcome on my blog friends, I’m still sucked up by Warhammer Online and is really hard for me to leave WAR even for few moments ;-) anyway, I found some information about upcoming quite big update. In upcoming WAR Patch 1.0.5 we will be able to test all in-game improvement on Beta realm with copied characters.
This update is probably one of the largest ever released. I found some interesting updates for my Marauder :-):

Wave of Mutilation: The amount that stats contribute to the damage of this ability has been slightly increased to make it consistent with other damage over time abilities.

Skill Tainted Claw, from patch this ability will now be increased in duration by Ailments, not Cripples.

Deadly Clutch: The Value of this debuff has been reduced to 50%. In addition, 25% of the value the target is here healed for (after debuff) also affects the Marauder.

Also two interesting general in-game improvements are quite cool:

- More penalties and offsetting for players that try to garner renown and XP by going AFK in Scenarios and Public Quests.

- Morale abilities should work more reliably from this patch.

That’s it for today friend, see you next time on my blog!

See ya
