[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.

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
