[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.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
