Open Beta Update
James Nichols | From the Dev Team | 09/09/2008 @ 08:47:57 EST
Hello everyone,

We've received a lot of great feedback from Open Beta already and have some great changes in the works that we'll be adding over the next few days and shortly after launch.

It's exciting to see how much everyone is enjoying the game and we can't wait to see you all playing come launch.

Below are just some of the areas we're working on and the changes we have planned. We'll continue to monitor in-game for your feedback and work to make your experience even better!
Please continue reading for all the details.


Improvements to RvR Itemization

We feel that it's important for players to be able to play RvR and PvE without missing out on appropriate loot for their level and career. Please see the post for more detail about our plans for bringing RvR loot into line with our goals: http://warherald.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=242

Loot Sparkles

We've continued to improve loot sparkles and have corrected one last small bug that caused corpses to sparkle even when you weren't able to loot them.

Pet User Interface

In the near future we'll be working to make sure the Pet UI stays up for as long as your pet does so that it doesn't on occasion disappear when you log out or zone. For now you can re-open the Pet UI window simply by summoning another pet.

Continued Improvements to Performance and Crash to Desktop Errors

Your ability to play the game smoothly is always our most important goal. We continue to work to apply fixes that will make your experience even more enjoyable. To help us out and make the experience better for you, be sure you have up-to-date drivers - including audio! Out of date video and audio drivers are among the highest contributors to game crashes.

“Ability Not Ready Yet”

We've recently improved ability responsiveness which will reduce the chance of you receiving the "Ability Not Ready Yet" message erroneously. This should help combat feel more natural!

Open RvR Ruleset Change

You've given us your feedback and we've listened! Open RvR servers will now allow you to play one tier below your current level without turning into a chicken. This will allow you more time to experience the PvE content of the first 3 tiers, and it also adds more danger to the mix.

Improved Graphics Options

We've got some great plans for improved graphics options as we continue through launch. Our number one priority is player performance. It's important in an RvR game for performance to be smooth and allow the game to be accessible to as many people as possible. In order to achieve our goals, we had to ensure a certain level of compatibility between devices. With all of the combinations and options available, we wanted to keep things simple and accessible to everyone.

With that in mind, we have a fix that may improve the ability of higher end machines to load textures, and we will continue to smooth out the process of the way textures load on your screen. In addition to this, we are exploring other options to add which will further enhance the graphics for mid to high range computers. For now, many users are able to turn on features such as anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering using their cards drivers.


This is just a sample of what's to come. We thank all of you for your enthusiastic participation in the Open Beta so far! We'll continue to monitor in-game and across all of our dedicated community forums for your feedback, and make your experience even better. Keep up the great work, have fun and prepare for WAR!

WAAAGH!!!

Do you still not get that Warhammer Online is a great and loved game?
You seem to think this game has failed.  The only failure is your brains ability to grasp the concept of reality.
 


 

-- Games are never as fun as their hype. It's still doing the same things as 90% of the MMOs ever since EQ1 wrote the template for 3D MMOs.

-- You can't ever be that newbie again. Not Warhammer, not WoW, not AoC, or any other MMO out there claiming originality.

-- You, I, and many other people won't be satisfied until once again we can be immersed,as newbs once more, into a mysterious realm of which we know nothing.

What in the world are you even saying?

 

Warhammer is a success dummy!

It's going to have lots and lots of subscribers that play it for a very long time.

Get used to it, your flaming failed.

Yep of course everyone should try it ! Fully agree

It can only be improved over the previous improvements.

The more that try it the better. Cheapest campaign ever for Bliz.

Sleep well smiley.

Lets hug. :))

Alas...

I have tried many times to make sense of your posts, and have yet to find a single droplet of reason or the slightest grasp of reality.  Unfortunately I have yet to find it, and I fear my search has come to an end.

R.I.P. Memoir

 

Oh, and by the way, Wrath of the lich king has people playing beta, ask a few of them how it's going. LOL.
You'll be interested to learn that they are not finding it quite as good as they had hoped.  

I played for years and got several characters to 70, and acquired gladiator title twice, and was in a tier 6 guild. 

All of that work will be gone the second they release Wotlk,  it will take longer to grind from 70-80 than it takes to get from 1 - 70.  Does that sound appealing?

4 years, 1 new class? The dark knight of whom is a hero class and the only one? This reminds me of SWG's introduction of the jedi. 

I hate to break it to you memoir, WoW is on it's way downhill, not up. 

again...R.I.P.

Not sure what you mean by cheapest campaign for Bliz? If you mean WAR will played by several people who played WoW, then yes your correct. But if you somehow think this game will make WoW better, sadly your wrong. You might want to seek advice and knowledge of people beta testing the enw expansion. Trust me when I say you will be wanting to play WAR after the expansion comes out. I will not comment on why nor care to. And to satisfy the mass's, I will not be playing niether WAR or WOW. Both games don't excite me, but WoW's new expansion is just a shame, seriously. Luckily WoW is such a big hit in Asia that even if every NA sub quit playing, it would still be the number 1 MMO. Sad but it's true. I enjoyed WoW alot, and I mean alot. But about a month after BC came out I saw what Blizzard was doing. Since then, I could careless about the game. I play it only to chat with others online. Yes I pay 15$ a month to chat. Sad, isnt it? :)

Although I'm sure WOTLK will do good and WoW isn't on "its way down", I do think this game will be successful.

I will be playing it, and I hope the latter part of the game is just as fun as what I'm playing now.

 

Groovy.

Success or failure? Regardless of what you fanboys and haters seems to "know", the truth will be revealed a few months after release, and certainly not today. That's when we have appx sales figures, but most important: did the majority stay, or did they leave.
