Warhammer Online is a Volvo

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Go read this... http://www.nazgum.com/2008/09/30/warhammer-online-my-biggest-complaints/. I'll be here when you get back. It is very well written and actually offers solutions to each of the issues brought up. I was just down in Toronto for a conference and Nazgum and I hung out and played some WAR together in my off-time. We ...

The Lighter Side: An Introduction

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

By: Geoff Seeing as how I am the resident "Order" guy and this blog is primarily focused around the Greenskins (obviously) and the Destruction faction in general I thought it might be nice to create a once a week type of post that generally covers issues and thoughts about the lighter ...

Mythic, can you please fix…

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Since reading this little snippit in the most recent TTH interview with Jeff and Josh, I decided to ask my guild, Enmity, to share their biggest concerns, complaints, or annoyances about WAR right now. It was also inspired by this article. Ten Ton Hammer: So what’s you’re biggest priority right now? Jeff: ...

If you could request ONE feature…

Mine would be: Item linking in chat! This was done brilliantly in WoW and yet it doesn't even exist in WAR. What gives? This is one of the most convenient feautres ever invented for MMORPGs... In WAR I have to type: /g Anyone want a {rank #} {career} {slot} {item name} {item ...

Gold Farmers/Spammers: 1% of WAR Population?

Friday, September 26th, 2008

I just noticed something Mark wrote on the WHA forums about gold farmers/spammers: 3) As of this message, we are in the process of permanently banning another 2500 accounts from our game, bringing the total to 4,000 banned so far. We hope that today's banning will significantly slow down the number ...

*cough cough* Juxtaposition

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Come on EA, I know they're already giving you free advertising for WAR, but would it hurt to run some ads for your other games? DAOC? UO? Spore? I did 10 page refreshes and never came across a single EA title. Show some looooove! Related posts:Snaffy Squiglet, the Abomination! I ...

Enduring the Siege - A History of Siege Weapons

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

By: Geoff Recently, with the release of Age of Conan and Warhammer Online, and the upcoming release of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK from here on out) it seems that siege weapons have become the "next big thing" for MMOs that wish to delve deeply into PVP ...

Be social, not lazy…

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

I can't count the times I have come into a public quest area with all the participants playing completely solo. Are people simply too lazy to form a group? It's not like they are unwilling to join one because people are more than happy to accept every time I send ...

Gameplanet review errors?

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Let me preface this by saying, "Thanks!" for doing a review that pumps up WAR. That said... I was just reading through the Gameplanet (New Zealand) review of WAR and came across several glaring errors. Here's the worst paragraph (mistakes bolded): The game starts up with the already released trailer intro (which ...

Mourkain Temple - Hotfix?

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

I haven't seen any notes on this yet, but I think they hot-fixed Mourkain Temple. You can still hedgehog with the artifact and mounted players still have an advantage, however, the DoT is now applied to each person who picks it up (not just the first person) and the side ...
