Warhammer Online: 3D Previews on WarDB

October 17, 2008

Warhammer Online: Curse Network team has instituted the latest feature for WarDB: 3D Item Previews. In phase 1 of its implementation, many “held” items (primarily weapons or off-hand items) can now be previewed on the website in 3D.

You can find the 3D Previews in two locations:

  • On the search results page under each item that has one available, you will see a “3D Preview” link. Clicking on this link will pop up a window in the middle of your browser. A couple seconds later you will see the item model rendered in 3D.
  • On the item details page will be a “3D Preview” button within the “Summary” box to the right of the page. Clicking this button will pop up a window in the middle of your browser. A couple seconds later you will see the item model rendered in 3D.

As Curse Team announced, it was just phase 1 for their Warhammer Online work, they also plan to expand the preview window beyond just “held” items. And folks on Curse are waiting for your feedback on the new feature, you maly visit WarDB’s 3D Preview Feedback thread  to post your special idea. For more Warhammer Online daily news, just draw lined to 3Zoom.

Warhammer Online : Patch 1.0.3 Arrives

October 17, 2008
Patch 1.0.3 of  Warhammer Online is coming! Thursday the 16th October is 1.0.3 day! This patch addresses many important issues and includes improvements to pet behaviour, client performance, chat systems and much, much more. The latest note will be applied tomorrow.  The servers of  Warhammer Online will be brought down for the patch at 8:00 CET and will be expected to take several hours. For latest war updates, keep your eye out on 3Zoom!

* We’re pleased to announce the addition of a new regional chat system. This item has been one of our most requested features, and you can find the details below.

* We have made additional improvements to the functionality of the /ignore command. This command should now work more consistently.

* A “new mail” icon has been added to the edge of the minimap to alert players when new mail messages have arrived.

* We have made some additional improvements to the handling of NPC speech and action text in an effort to reduce the amount of chat players see from NPCs.

* In order to provide a more challenging and rewarding experience, we have adjusted the overall speed at which players can gain control of zones and move the campaign.

* Pet behavior has been improved and should act more naturally when changing between passive and defensive modes while the pet is fighting multiple enemies.

* The war against the gold sellers continues! We have introduced a new “report gold seller” command that works as follows: when you type /rg, the game will automatically fill out a gold seller appeal using the name of the last player who sent you a tell. If you get an unwanted /tell from a pesky gold seller, type /rg to start an appeal and get them busted!

* We have added a new option to the user settings that will allow players to enable or disable shader caching. This is a graphical performance option, and for a full explanation, players can hover their mouse over this option in the user settings window. This should help improve performance on many systems.

Warhammer Online : WAR Grab Bag No.2

Warhammer Online: Developers of  EA have revised the WAR Grab Bag for players of  Warhammer Online. Some of  players’ most pressing questions could be answered in the War Grab Bag No.2 since launch. Enjoy!

Q. Will there be a page on the website which lists patch notes?

Q. When will you implement a looking for group system?

Just right-click your character’s icon at the top left of your screen and select “Open Parties”. This will open a window which lists all available parties in the area. Just select one and join up, and voila! No more running around aimlessly calling out to be accepted like some sad, lost orphan. Join an open party today!

High Level Content Adjustments

October 14, 2008

Warhammer Online: As a result of the changes developers of  Warhammer Onine have made, Fortress Lords and contested city guards will now be even more challenging that they were previously. In order to help players survive these perilous encounters, they have made the following adjustments to two of the game’s high-level armor sets. View the point below:
 

  • We have updated the Annihilator and Conqueror armor sets (acquired through a variety of high level RvR) to include Wards, in order to maintain parity with PvE Armor Sets.

     

  • The Annihilator set now includes the same Ward as that offered by the Bastion Stair’s Bloodlord set.

     

  • The Conqueror set now includes the same Ward as that offered by the City Dungeon Sentinel set.

     

  • Players who equip pieces from the Annihilator and Conqueror armor sets will be better-equipped to challenge the Fortress Lords and contested city guards. The more pieces equipped, the better defended players will be against these deadly adversaries.

Warhammer Online: Surviving your First PvP Scenario

October 14, 2008

A quick guide was released on MMORPG.com written by Kyle Stout about Warhammer Online to help players to survive their first forray into WAR‘s RvR scenarios.

Not panicking is first and foremost, the supreme PvP rule – if there was a PvP version of the Ten Commandments, this would be the first thing etched in stone. When you lose your cool, strategy breaks down along with ability, coherence, and communication. Such a catastrophic failure has only one end – your smoldering husk littering the battlefield (possibly in several large chunks.) Luckily, there are two key factors to avoid getting your dignity stomped upon – realization and experience. Realization is easy; just remember you’re playing a game. When your guy dies, gets taunted, or even gets drunk, all these actions have no effect on you, the player. Often, dying numerous times combined with taunting can lead to a frivolous waste of your character’s life and a seat in the front row of watching a spawn timer. So above all, staying cool by realizing it’s just a game will drastically help your team succeed. As for experience, this can only be gained with… experience. No matter how many times one can read a guide to this or that, or even have someone explain the objective to you, there is just no substitute for good old fashioned experience. That being said, the best way to learn the mission objectives, along with the snipe spots, best healing range, and shortcuts, will come with time. It’s great to read up on something, don’t frown upon knowledge, just remember that practice makes perfect.

 

The details are as below:

Once upon a time, a great man made an excellent quote. He even wrote into a book, and in fact the message was embossed on the front cover. The man was Douglas Adams, not the famous politician, but the science fiction writer, and his famous words were simple – “Don’t Panic.” Taking this notice to heart, it can provide the most basic of rules for surviving your first foray into Warhammer Online’s robust PvP scenarios.

Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning : Game Update 1.0.2

October 10, 2008

Warahammer Online: Mythic Entertainment has announced that they will keep players updated during the process of Patch 1.02, which comes up with lots of game changing improvements. As latest  Game Update 1.0.2, it will brings a wide variety of tweaks and fixes to all areas of  Warhammer Online.

  • We have added a ‘Join All’ button to the scenario window which now allows players to join all scenario queues in their current tier at once.
  • In order to promote realm and population balance, some realms on some servers will now award their players with a +20% bonus to renown and experience. This is not a permanent bonus, but rather a temporary incentive to promote balance. Realms currently offering this bonus are marked on the server list with a colored icon; blue for Order and Red for Destruction – Check the Herald for the latest list!
  • In response to player feedback, we have made several improvements to the behavior and responsiveness of the siege weapon interface. In addition we have fixed some issues with the control and release processes of siege weapons.
  • While in scenarios, players will no longer be able to select “Need” in their loot windows unless their career or race can use the item being offered. Outside of scenarios, this feature is an optional setting that may be turned on manually by group leaders. Please note: players of a lower level than required by the item are still able to roll.
  • In an ongoing effort to deter players from going AFK while in scenario starting areas, we have made the following changes: Firstly, players who join a scenario and remain in their realm’s spawn area for two minutes will be automatically removed from that scenario. Secondly, upon entering the spawn area of a scenario, players will receive a debuff that prevents them from earning renown and experience. This debuff will be removed when the player leaves the spawn area.
