Dear all,
More than 100,000 European players have now created characters and launched enthusiastically into the violent and bloody battlefields of the Old World every evening. Despite this, for many of you and for us as well, the launch of the open beta has left a bitter taste. While it is true that the purpose of Beta Testing a game is to indeed expose problems before a game launches, the launch did not happen anywhere near as smoothly as we had planned.

Because of this I have decided to offer seven free days to all of the beta testers. If you decide to continue your adventures in WAR, and we certainly hope you do, you will be credited on your account from the 18th of September and will be able to take part in the adventure without any regret. By the beginning of next week, we expect many more to join us as we open the gates for our Head Start, and we look forward to welcoming all of you in the Warhammer world.

Best regards,

Ghislaine Le Rhun
GOA CEO

 

 

Wohooo!!!

 

Oh didnt see there already was a thread about it :p

Reminds me of WoWs first few months, Blizzard was giving out free time like candy =D and I got rotten teeth.

Just Bought WAR ( Digi-download) from EA store.

Must say did not enjoy the CB, since then theres been many patches and some good things said.. Im willing to give it a another try maybe it be better with full servers and that "ooo its all new" feel and the "i spend money so i try to like it more" =D

hum well i wasn't aware players had to report players for AFK debuff.. however its not true that the debuff is gone the moment you enter PVP...  it stays for a while after wards to stop the obvious exploite.  That is my memory ....I dont AFK unless i realy need to too so have only experienced it 2 or 3 times.

  will I still be able to AFK in Bgs, so I can get more/better gear to further my exploitation of a game I don't enjoy yet still force myself to play because of my time investment?

me thinks youve not played Wow in a while.. not beenable to AFK honor farm for a long time... without using hacks and/or bots.

Basicly if you dont engage in PvP or interact with NPC's for 5 mins you get  a debuff that means you cant score honor unless you get back into PvP and even then you have to wait 5mins for the debuff to ware off.  your also flagged on the map as an AFKer.

Hi all,

 

I finally got the game patched. However after jumping in theres a texture issue. With the Texture Resolution slider on full the textures are very blurry and appear to be of low res. Yet on Low they look much clearer. Any fix or idea about this?

 

Secondly - whats up with the standard Gnome eyes? They looks completely messed up and horrible.

 

Thirdly - can anyone login to the WoW EU official Forums? Ive used the 100% correct details but with no luck..."login error".

 

Cheers in advance!

the texture slider is a known issue.
the faces on gnomes and some humans are a known issue.
and yes i can log into the eu beta forums.

and use the in game tool "blue B on map" to report bugs.

Well as this game begins in descent what will Blizzard do next to get your money?

First the paid server transfers, then name change, then RAF, now pve - pvp something they claimed they would never do.

Would anyone be shocked if they started selling ingame items?

Id be shocked when bored haters stop posting rubblish on these boards,.

they released a bunch of new keys on wednesday.

dont know if they are picking people due to their leaving reason but as you dont need an active sub to play beta just think of as a freebee .

Honor... yes
Heroic badges... dont know, heroic modes are not playable in beta yet.

 WoW movie would fail,warcraft doesnt realy have that good of a lore ... little iradiated people,space monkeys,tree hugging gay demons.And people expecting it to be bloody and gory ... lol,look at WoW.That's how it's going to be,it will probably be a adventure like movie where even tho characters have swords and sharp weapons,they hit the enemys with punches or the backside of the sword.

 WoW is marketed towards all ages,soo will the movie... I actualy would like to see a gory warcraft movie,but it wont happen.

 A Warhammer movie however would work all too well,expecialy in the 40k universe.. epicness and all.

So you have read all the warcraft books? played all the games.

I dont think Warhammer has any lore beside.. ork me smash and dwarf drink!.. the reason being I have not read any of the book and dont care too... I suspect your in the same situation.. in short dont assume Warcraft has no lore.

no you dont need an active sub to play wrath beta.

well 3.0.2 is the lastes beta build

but you can download the EU beta client here http://www.wotlkwiki.info/index.php/Main_Page I assume you got a beta enabled account too =D

well post somthing of worth and we might respond.  until then. Shhhhh

the problem is that WAR employs an animation erm... frame/quality thingy... like LOTRO so when action gets a bit busy the client reduces the number of animation frame, skipping some frames so it can keep to speed (so yes it will at times look like a 5 frame anim-gif).  This looks ugly and I wirnessed it alot during WAR OB.. even with the frame slider at max. and only about 20-30 ppl on screen.

Now I hate to bring it up, but WoW does not do this even when the action gets busy such as in aV so I dont know why WAR does.

Vin Diesel players or has played WoW (apparantly)

bump

I am sorry you appear to be in the wrong forum.. WAR fanbois belong here http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/category/179 if you would be so kind to close the door after you.. thank you.

There are plenty of indie developers out there making a good living.

I myself have 2 games out.. neither have done well anf only 1 got onto a "portal"

http://www.alawar.com/game/tweakietweak/

I hope to write a game that will bring me fortune until then ill work a 9-5 and code in my spare time.

note: http://www.indiegamer.com/ is a good place to start your Indie enpire.

yes you just make a copy your toon, your toon stays on the live realm.

AFAIK its going to be live action. But I expect something sureal like sincity/300 rather then LOTRO style.  After all the guys who made sincity and 300 are making it.
