[Official] Warhammer Online


Recommended Posts

Talked two of my friends from work into buying WAR, and they are loving it, but the only MMO they've played was FFXI.

I, however, cancelled my account, but will be watching how it goes in the coming months. The last week in WAR has been rather...un-fun.

I never ended up getting the game, went from playing the Beta and pre-ordering the game to not even getting it.

I might pick it up again at some point cause I did enjoy it, but I just paid over $200 for LOTRO and LOTRO:MoM, so I am happy with that :)

Glad though lots of people are playing around here!!

I just started LOTRO again after having a founders account for 6months but not being able to play the live game(beta went fine.....) My friends are gonna try to get my LM to 50 before MoM. I enjoy WAR but I need 2 mmos otherwise I get bored and will oftn quit.

Sure am! I just started a Bright Wizard with my roommate, he started a Witch Hunter. Already have a R27 White Lion. Give me some contact info, lets meet up :)

Sweet. I am not very High rank yet, I am rank 7, very close to rank 8. You can look me up as, Astil. I am usually on about 6 PM Central Time US.

I just got finished yesterday playing every class. I've decided (after getting my White Lion which was my main until I decided to do this to R10) to go with a Shadow Warrior. I just love the bow attacks in this game. From reading forum posts and what not though, I've seen that alot of people think Shadow Warriors are way to gimped/not powerful enough later on in the game. I guess I'll see heh.

All I know is, I like that class a ton.

Yeah I was kinda' stuck between White Lion, and Shadow Warrior. I usually play rogue style classes so I figured I would mix it up and went with the White Lion. It is pretty sweet.

Was doing some PQs last night. There was about 6 of us. I was the only White Lion, a couple Shadow Warriors, Swordmaster (i think that's the name of the class) and a bright wizard. I had my Lion tanking and the Wizard kept him alive. It worked perfectly and we did some nice damage. It was lots of fun.

Can't wait to get off work and go play :p

Been playing since Open Beta. Started in OB as a Witch Elf, then a Swordmaster (Why?! WHY SWORD & BORED [misspelled on purpose])...

When it went Live, made a Black Orc to 13, switch to Witch Hunter and have been loving it. My orc is on Avelorn, my hunter is on White Tower. Always open for some grouping (fair warning, I rolled on RP servers to roleplay :p )

Am i the only one who see the server down tonight?

since today its seems to going up and down... :/

Btw this game is the first pay to the month that ive purchased in my life and honestly i really like the gameplay :D

Same here, buddy. I'm glad I bought it instead of WoW (I was planning to buy it a week before WarHammer came out)

The login servers were having some major issues last night, may have been due to some patching, don't know.

Okay, Audioboxer with the cliched question :p

I can get a key for this for about ?12, how easy will I make the switch from being a WoW player?

I played WoW for fun, didn't really go all out on PVP/Battlefields and all that, so quite frankly, I don't care much about whining over how powerful classes are/etc/etc.

Is it quite easy to solo grind as well, like WoW is?

Thanks(Y))

Well... I haven't really played WoW so I can't help you there. But I can kinda' describe how it's going for me so far. I know Mythic tried their hardest to eliminate the grind. The quests move you along fairly nicely as far as XP goes. And most of them are pretty fun and have a good story. Then you have the public quests that you can do. They are all over the place and you usually need a handful of players to finish them, and the rewards are always nice, as is the xp. For example, the first PQ that I did at the end we had to take down a Hydra, it was a lot of fun and a good battle.

The game is designed around Realm V Realm however. But Mythic does it very well and it flows with the rest of the game and fits nicely. I will say before I played WAR I wasn't a big PvPer myself. But now that I played WAR, I love it. It's a lot of fun, and a good break from doing quests. And it fits the story and everything nicely.

I say give it a try, I bet you will like it. I am having a blast.

REQUIREMENTS:

The commonality between our issues were that we both have an ATI HD48xx card and are running Vista x64. It may also apply to earlier vintage ATI video cards, I do not know.

FIX:

Have the user go to the Catalyst Control Center > 3D Settings > Direct3D Settings. Have them select/check off "Support DXT Texture formats". Apply, double-check it is set and run the game. The graphics will all appear correctly and they can log into the game and run around.

Post if this works for you as well or not so others can figure it out. I messaged the tech support guy I was dealing with the solution, so hopefully it'll get passed around the office as well so they can do more then shoot blindly in the dark.

Found from here

I mean rare items, that has special characteristics like (more critical, more damage,, etc). And It looks different than the usually item in the same level (Glowing maybe).

I don't know what you mean, there are various models for the different item classes (dwarven axe, elven axe, rapier, gun, etc), and the items are organized by rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, and Mythic). The Mythic items are by far the hardest to get in the game, and to get them you usually have to complete some ridiculous amounts of PvP feats and be R40. Glowing items usually are "debuffed", like when a Swordmaster uses a buff on himself (forgot which), his sword glows, regardless of which sword it is. I believe you just mean blues/purples (which are the Rare/Very Rare), and the desirability of those are questionable - sometimes a blue R20 axe will be no better than a green R20 axe, it all depends.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
