November Newsletter - Here’s da lewt

The Warhammer Online November Newsletter is upon us… well, for those lucky enough to have received one by email already! I guess it takes a while to send out nearly 500,000 newsletters each month. Here’s a brief overview, courtesy of Massively, to hold us over until it arrives snugly in our inboxes!

• Mounts! Aside from the handsome porcine steed above (a Greenskin favorite), they have images up for an Ale-powered Dwarven carriage, felsteeds for Chaos riders, and beautiful beasts for the Elves and Empire.
• A lengthy screed on the mysterious Tome of Knowledge. Their article runs down what you’re like to see in the book, and what kinds of tales it will record for your own character.
• A Paul Barnett special presentation on the Dark Elf Sorceress … and Sorcerer! Yes, boy and girl evil mages. As Paul puts it, “They’re both emo, and they both live forever!”
• A first look at work on a new Warhammer cinematic trailer (you know, since you’re probably tired of the first one).
• An in-depth look at the High Elf Archmage class.
• An overview of the Shadowlands zone, an elven area.
• A look at another Public Quest! My favorite idea from the game, as of yet. They run down the IronClad confrontation with King Byrrnoth Grundadrakk.
• One of the always-enjoyable animated game design presentations, this one detailing major changes to the Careers and RvR systems.
• The video of the month walks us deep into the Inevitable City, the capital of the followers of Chaos.
• A bunch of other delights, like Paul’s Video Diaries, a Grab Bag update, and another Beta Journal Entry.

Having watched the Dark Elf Sorceress and Sorcerer videos, I have to say, they’re a really interesting concept. Sure they wield powerful chaos “death” magic, but they shouldn’t go too crazy or they might just open a portal to the netherworld, expediting their own demise. Paul is hilarious as always, basically calling them a emo and goth player’s wet dream.

I’m currently watching his videophone blogs, which are quite entertaining.

The beta feedback video was also interesting, though it didn’t go into as much detail as one would hope for. Fortunately, Josh Drescher confirms that we’ll be seeing more in depth videos on Career Mastery and enhanced RvR in the near future.

My next task is to read over the Tome of Knowledge development diary, to gain a better understanding of it’s design and purpose.

I hope that satisfies your appetites until the newsletter arrives!
