Realm Vs Realm - PvP but with a focus on group sizes above 12, objectives and keeps.

None of this arena bollocks. ;)

Spookie, I have got to ask, are you a developer for the game or something?

Negative, I'm one of the closed beta testers so we get all the gimmicks of knowing what is going on behind the scenes. :p

Silly question but how do we get on the open beta??

Is it open to the UK??

:)

Download the client (www.war-europe.com) and get the key through a premium pre order (Direct to Drive or EA in the UK only) or get a key from one of the community sites (likely Freddies House, Warhammer Alliance, Ten Ton Hammer in the near future).

Thread Cleaned

People are entitled to their own opinions. If they think the game is bad they are allowed to say so and aren't trolls for doing so. The only reason I cleaned this thread was for how far off-topic it got.

Trolling is posting something negative just to post something negative. If they have formed their own opinion based on their own experience, that is not trolling.

Those are some good points and I guess since I'm a casual player that I'm not really all that excited about RvR play. I never did anything more then PvE and a few lower level instances in WoW which is kinda the reason why I stopped playing as I didn't think it was worth it when I was only a casual player who didn't logon every night and couldn't see all the content of the game. WoW tries to be everything for everybody which has it's bad points but also is one of it's strengths and why it's so popular as it appeals to a wider audience. I still logon to a private server occasionally when I start to miss it and would like to try out WAR. Is there going to be a trial available in the beginning?

I don't think you need to be hardcore to RvR, I guess if you liked AV but would like to expand that over massive locations and eventually city raids then it's for you. Without a doubt the difficulty is going to be ramped up (you're not fighting a pre-determined boss). But as long as you keep playing you're not going to miss out on any of the content. You will need Renown ranks for armour sets and other item sets drop off people. But nothing is going to require 6 hrs of farming pots, 8 hrs attempting a boss then waiting for your turn in loot. You log in, kill things, loot things, rinse and repeat. But of course the more time you put in to it the more flashy your rewards. :p

Is there going to be a trial available in the beginning?

No idea, Mythic haven't mentioned one. Though there is a OB starting 2nd week of September. Fileplanet has keys if you're in the US and various euro community sites will be giving out keys a week before. Just keep your eyes peeled.

Of course it matters, can't call it an open beta if it isn't really open - But no point in saying that to you ...

Surely its open beta, If you cant afford a $10 pre-order you shouldn't be on the internet. Seriously, the game costs $15 a month.

Folks,

Well, things have been, as usual, busy here at Mythic so I have lots of news to share. So, without further ado and no SNL references, here's the update on my update:

1) Significantly improved NPC pathing - Okay, in all fairness it wouldn't have taken much to improve on what we showed you folks during the PW. However, the NPC pathing is back to where it needs to be and while it still isn't perfect, well, it's a heck of a lot closer than it was just a short time ago. We identified a whole lot of bugs and squashed them.

2) Improved pet commands and responsivness - Well, pretty much same as above. Pets will no longer act as if obeying an order from you was the last thing in this world that they wanted to do.

3) Fixed an issue with textures blurring - Nothing like looking at textures through a blurred lens to make things look really sharp eh? Major improvements in and more OTW.

4) Enhanced Global Cooldown Mechanic - Well, for one the GCD actually shows the correct cooldown time and not the rounded up cooldown time (Hey, what a great idea, let's make it seem slower than it is. WOOT!). The slop timer is working fine right now and we'll continue to look at making the GCD and combat in general more responsive.

5) Continuing to improve Client Stability - As always, lots of fixes going in here. The client is supposed to be more stable (and looks like it so far) but until we get the masses back in...

6) Added new Graphics Settings and seeking more feedback from testers to guide future improvements. You asked for it, you got it. Well, in all fairness we were going to put these in anyway but it never hurts to nudge us a bit at times.

7) Target Nearest Target improved - Yeah! One of my pet peeves addressed.

8) Renown Gear changes and Potency of Potions increased. Tweaking, adding, subtracting, in other words (don't say "nerf", we're still in beta!) balancing.

9) Increased bonus for medal winners in PQs. PQs are supposed to be fun, joyous and not grindy. We'll continue tweaking and changing them wherever we need to do that to make it so #1. (okay, a ST reference)

10) Added more loot bags in Tier 1 PQs - Boy, it's going to be rather crowded when we launch so we just upped the loot for the Tier 1 PQs. We'll do the same to T2 as needed. And when the rush is over, we'll tweak downwards.

So, in terms of some other good stuff, lots and lots and lots of bugs fixed and lots of new stuff added to the ToK. But wait, there's more and we'll address some of it next week as well as more coming info in the next update.

Oh, and there's still no such thing as a miracle patch so don't expect one here. Just a ton of fixes, additions and adjustments. We have another major patch coming as well before launch. We don't believe in miracle patches (miracle whip is a whole other subject) here at Mythic but simply hard work and a talented team.

Much respect to my team that is really doing one heck of a job getting things ready for launch.

:whistle:

I swear, I should have dyed that robe sooner. :p

I haven't see the link to those new changes yet, nice to see they have fixed the 1m-in-front-of-you-and-we're-back-to-1997 textures! I have to say I want to see the changes they made to the Magus and Eng though. They needed em! :(

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.
    • Winhance 26.06.12

      By Copernic · Posted

      Winhance 26.06.12 by Razvan Serea Winhance is an open-source Windows enhancement utility designed to help users debloat, optimize, and customize Windows 10 and 11. It provides a user-friendly interface for removing unwanted apps, legacy components, and optional features safely, giving you more control over your system. With Winhance, you can improve performance, reduce clutter, and enhance privacy without the need for a clean install. Beyond basic debloating, Winhance offers extensive optimization tools. Users can tweak power plans, adjust gaming and performance settings, control notifications, and manage Windows Update behavior. Privacy-focused settings allow you to limit telemetry and data collection, while system customization options let you personalize the taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, and Windows themes. Winhance also supports installing or removing software efficiently, including external apps via WinGet integration, streamlining both new setups and daily maintenance. New AI privacy groups have been added for Windows AI, Microsoft Edge AI, and Microsoft Office AI, giving users clearer control over AI-related telemetry and feature usage. In addition, new settings in Gaming & Performance introduce AI taskbar pin toggles, options to remove AI apps, and controls for AI services and scheduled tasks, allowing users to better manage how AI components run in the background and appear in the system. For advanced users and IT professionals, Winhance integrates WIMUtil, a tool for creating custom Windows installation ISOs with automated configuration. You can generate autounattend.xml files, inject drivers, and apply your chosen Winhance settings automatically during installation. Most changes are non-destructive and reversible, with clear explanations in the GUI. Whether you’re optimizing a single PC or managing multiple systems, Winhance delivers a faster, cleaner, and highly personalized Windows experience. The Winhance.Installer.exe includes both Installable and Portable versions during setup. Winhance supports both Windows 10 and Windows 11 64-bit versions. It's regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest Windows updates and features. Winhance key features: Debloat Windows – Safely remove unwanted apps, features, and legacy components. Optimize Performance – Tune system settings for speed, responsiveness, and gaming. Privacy Enhancements – Control telemetry, data collection, and notifications. Power Management – Configure power plans and advanced energy settings. Windows Update Control – Adjust update behavior for stability and convenience. Theme Customization – Switch between light/dark mode and adjust system colors. Taskbar & Start Menu Tweaks – Modify layout, icons, and behavior. Explorer Customization – Adjust file explorer appearance and functionality. Software Management – Install/remove Windows apps and optional features. External Apps Installation – Deploy essential apps via WinGet integration. Configuration Management – Save, export, and import Winhance settings easily. Automation with WIMUtil – Create custom Windows ISOs with integrated settings. Autounattend.xml Generator – Automate Windows installations with preconfigured options. Driver Integration – Include current system drivers in custom ISOs. Non-Destructive Changes – Reversible settings with clear explanations in the GUI. Winhance 26.06.12 changelog: Features Builder Mode — build a Winhance config file or autounattend.xml without changing anything on the PC you're sitting at. Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page — the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free. It works offline and is fully localized. Change History — Winhance now keeps a receipt of everything it does. ChangeHistory.txt records every setting change (before and after values) and every app install or removal, with clear headers for config imports and bulk actions. Open it from the More menu. Hebrew language support — Winhance is now available in 29 languages. New Explorer customizations: desktop icon visibility toggles, This PC folder visibility, an icon cache size setting, and automatic thumbnail cache cleanup. New "All apps view" setting for the redesigned Windows 11 Start menu, and the Windows 11 system tray icons setting is now a dropdown with more control. App-local UI zoom — press Ctrl +/-/0 or use Ctrl+MouseWheel to scale the whole app, just like a browser. New External Apps: EA app, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, Rockstar Games Launcher, PowerShell, and Helium Browser. Bug Fixes Layouts no longer clip when the Windows text size slider is set above 100%. Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent — error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features — they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
