[Official] Warhammer Online

[39 Thieves]

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.

[S00N3R FR3AK]

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.

[chevyordeath]

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.

[chevyordeath]

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 )

[The Right Guy]

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

[Sanvean]

Currently level 29.5 Black orc and having a blast on the Badland server!

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))

[chevyordeath]

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.

Anyone else having problems load since the new update?

[chevyordeath]

Has been working fine for me. Try doing a full scan with the updater.

[killmaster84]

I got it fixed, some ATi issues or something :/

What ATi issues? I have an ATi video card and sometimes I get graphic glitching sometimes :/

[killmaster84]

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.

I do have a 4850, and I am playing in Vista x64, also that option has always been checked for me. The graphic glitches are few and far in between, but still, i get them some times :/

Any one here managed to find special items in the game? If so, can you please share a screenshot with us :D ?

What do you mean by special items?

[deep1234]

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.

[killmaster84]

Best thing I've found is purple.

Mythic items are really, really, really, really hard to get.

When I get home I can take screen shots of some purples that I have :/
