According to his Twitter account, Josh Drescher was laid off on the 17th.  He wasn’t fired, just laid off.  He was Warhammer Online’s Lead Producer. He says he doesn’t know who else was laid off, and this is the only news we have at this point regarding any layoffs.

If you goto PQ: Tor Sethai, there is a cave at the back.  In this cave, are wolves.  The wolves have a very fast respawn timer.  Good for loot and exp. If you are a botter, might also be good for botting.

The wolves within the cave, are not flagged for the PQ.

In Warhammer RvR, one of the things to do, is to attack or defend a keep. So here we present a basic overview of each along with some tips which should help you not to just survive, but to beat the opponent in this RvR scenario. Continue reading »

Written by Almar

The first time you step foot into the Open RvR areas of Warhammer you’re almost sure to be confused. Lets clear up as much confusion as possible for you in this guide. First up, a quick run down of everything.

First, see the red line circling the whole area? This is telling you everything on the inside of this line is an open rvr area. Now, the things that look like little flags are the Battlefield Objectives. The thing that looks like a mini castle is a keep. These icons will also change colors depending on what faction is controlling them. As you can see in the picture above, the keep is red which means Destruction is currently controlling it. If it was blue, that means Order is in control of it.

Sometimes these objectives will have timers over them, this is a countdown to tell you how long until that side gains a Domination Point for controlling the objective. Domination Points help you lock the zone for your faction.

Victory Points and Domination Points

Below is a picture of the in-game compass/mini map. I’ve expanded the Victory Point tab to better explain everything.

Each bar tells you how it is contributing towards the Victory Points for the zone. When you mouse over each one it will tell you how much it contributes towards the Victory Points for that zone. For example, mouse over Objectives, it will tell you that it contributes 45% to zone control. Here is a quick list of how everything contributes

Objectives: 45% to zone control
Scenarios: 25% to zone control
Skirmish: 20% to zone control
PvE: 15% to zone control
Prior Tier: 5% to zone control

When you earn enough Victory Points to cross the bar closer to your enemies side, you take control of the zone. What I mean by this is, take a look at the compass. See the bar at the very top? There are two notches, one closer to the skull and one closer to the eagle. The order cymbal is the eagle, and destruction the skull. When ether the blue bar or red bar reaches the furthest notch, they take the zone and lock it. I’ll get into how zones lock, later.

Next up, Domination Points!

Take a look at the compass, see the red rectangles right under the large red bar going across the top? These will tell you how many domination points you have.

You gain Domination Points in ways similar to VPs. When you gain control of a BO or a keep, a timer will appear over it. This timer tells you how long until your realm gains a Domination Point. Once you gain all 5 Domination Points a timer will start and tell you how long until you lock the zone. Domination Points are the most common way to lock a zone.

Locking and Controlling Zones

When a realm locks a zone it means you can’t capture anything in that zone, or try and re-lock it. Say Destruction captures Thunder Mountain, this means that the fight will continue closer to the orders capital, which is the zone of Kadrin Valley.

To the left, is a picture of one of the 3 tier’s of tier 4. As you can see here destruction has locked Butcher’s Pass, Black Crag, and Thunder Mountain. The only place that the order can capture any objectives is in Kadrin Valley.

As you can see in this picture as well, the order have “The Maw” captured. They have captured this in the Chaos tier. You are able to advance to Altdorf or The Inevitable City from any tier, as long as you capture the three forts.

When you lock a zone you will get a Renown Bonus, XP and Medallions depending on what tier you’re in.

Keeps

Rules for Keeps are different depending on your tier. There are no keeps for you to capture in T1. There are two keeps in T2 for you to capture. In T3 there are two keeps as well, these keeps will have an outer wall. In T4, the keeps will still have an outer wall and there will also be two keeps per zone.

In order to capture a keep you will need to kill the Keep Lord. If you are at least Renown Rank 30, you are able to bypass the outer wall or Inner Wall using Bypass Defenses (Requires a Postern Door). Once you kill the Keep Lord, the keep will switch to your realm and will be claimable by a guild. The PQ for the keep will also finish and the loot will be rolled for.

If you don’t win any loot you will be given an Officer’s Medallion for participating.

Battlefield Objectives

Battlefield Objectives are easier to assault then keeps. They are marked by flags on your map (see above), similar to capture points in Scenarios. Unlike keeps Battlefield Objectives can be taken with very few people. When taking a Battlefield Objective you will first have to kill the Hero and Champions around it to make the flag click able.

Once the flag is capture able, you will have to right click it and claim it. Once it is claimed you will have to protect it for 3 minutes. Once those 3 minutes are up you will capture the BO and it will become yours. It will remain yours and be un claimable by the enemy for 15 minutes. When 15 minutes passes the enemy will be able to retake it.

When you have control of a Battlefield Objective you will gain a 5% increase to renown. The effect of Battlefield Objectives stack, there for if you are holding two, you will get a 10% increase.

- When taking a BO, you will gain Xp, Renown and Influence when you capture it. (After the 3 minute period).

Tips

- If you’re assaulting or defending a keep don’t release if you die. Wait and get a rez otherwise you’ll have to run all the way back.

- Don’t leave the battle to turn in your quests. Your team needs you!

- Always form or join a warband, organization is key!

- Be patient, being impatient will just get you killed.

- Don’t wander off. If you see an enemy 5 billion miles away don’t mount up and run after him for just 1 kill, your team needs you.

F.A.Q

Q: When I charge into Butcher’s Pass (Or another similar zone) I get a pop up that says “The Supply Lines are Strained, continue to fight elsewhere” What does this mean?

A: The maximum amount of people allowed on your realm are currently fighting at the keep. You will have to help stop the enemy from entering the keep or find something else to do.

Defending Keeps

Defending a keep is rather simple. Defending a keep will take significantly less players then attacking a Keep would. Actually if you had a good Bright Wizard and Warrior Priest you could easily hold off a whole attack force. (Same goes for Sorcerer and Shaman)

The main thing you will need to do while defending a keep is to get some Oil up to fend off the attackers asap. The big can of Oil is the bane of the opposing realms existence. Without the attacking teams healers on their A game two Oil spills will wipe almost everyone at the front door.

Once you think they are going to bust down the Outer Door (Say it’s at 20% with no oil up.) Destroy the Ram pad close to your Inner Door and fall back inside the keep. Throw up a new Oil and Rinse and repeat the process.

If they manage to bust through your Inner Keep doors, then it’s time to organize yourselves and attack their main tank and healers. The extra damage of everyone on the main tank will be enough to take him down. It would also be a good idea to put some pressure on their healers. They can’t heal themselves and the tanks at the same time!

Tips & Things to keep in mind

  • If you’re a healer rez the dead! You need every person you can get to help, don’t discriminate rezzing someone just because he is retarded. Because he can be a retarded meat shield!
  • Always make sure someone has the oil up, or is on the oil. The oil is the #1 thing that can prevent anyone from taking the keep. On the same note make sure that the enemies don’t sneak through your postern door and take out the oil.
  • Destroy the outer ram pad if you know your keep is about to be under attack, same deal with the inner ram pad.
  • If a lot of people are dead, always rez the healers first, more healers alive means more rezzes to go around.
  • Always make sure you have at least two Oils on you before going and defending a keep.

Original Exploit! Volrath submitted this for VIP access, all credit to him for this post.

When combating in RvR, there is nothing more powerful as being able to interrupt your enemy’s casting, or attacks, when a particularly vicious attack will surely be detrimental to you character’s health.  To be able to do it every 5 seconds however, besides being an exploit, is also one of the more powerful effects in the game.  This is an Order only trick, it will not work for Destruction.  This exploit will allow you to “stun” your enemy every 5 second for 10 or more seconds.  It’s not a global cooldown, so it won’t affect any other spell or effect.  This will easily allow you to clean up the battlefield, one enemy at a time, especially when they can’t get an attack in to hit you.

This is our list of must have addons for Warhammer, and why we consider them must have. 

Dammaz Kron, The Great Book of Grudges!

Intends to record all your PVP deaths, shared victories and deathblows in order to help you in revenging your grudges and knowing your enemies ;)
In this new part of the Tome of Knowledge, you can find all your last interactions entries split into 3 parts (Open RvR, Scenario and Overall). Each of those parts, display a list that can be sort up and down by Career, Name, Level, Deathblows, Victories, Deaths, Score or Date. Then by clicking on a Name, you can access to an enemy’s profile page and see his RvR stats.

  • Deathblows are added when you finish off an opponent.
  • Victories are added when you help to kill an opponent.
  • Defeats are added when an opponent kills you.
  • The score is the difference between deathblows and defeats.

I really enjoy this addon, it is helpful for when I am running around playing my Chaos Zealot and I get ganked near ORvR areas or just get very fed up with a White Lion in the Scenarios and come back with my Choppah.

Character View Expanded Stats (CaVES)

takes the five stats category groups that can only be viewed one at a time in the standard Character View and displays them all at once in a single window. This allows players to see the many stats that change and are affected by a single or multiple equipment changes as well as other stat modification events. CaVES is a perfect tool for all classes and all levels, allowing easier optimizing of all character stats.

Now THIS is a wonderful Addon. It helps me out greatly when I need to decide on which pieces of gear I should use, whether or not I should swap out my shiny RvR earned set for a seemingly better piece and if it’s worth losing the set bonus et cetera.

Kwestor

A widely customizable quest tracker, built to replace the built-in tracker. It allows you to…

  1. filter quests depending on zone, RVR status, status and more
  2. enables fully customizable sorting of the tracked quests
  3. auto hiding of quest conditions
  4. layout customization, including various colors, fonts and alignment
  5. ability to select objects “behind” the quest tracker frame
  6. easy access to full quest description in the tome

“Tired of the built-in quest tracker? Want more customization options? Want to click through the quests to target mobs and object behind the tracker? Install Kwestor!”

While I really, really love being able to click though the tracker and the better, refreshing look of it. However I am a little bothered by the size of the font as I haven’t really gone in and bothered trying to customize it perfectly.

LibSlash

A basic library for registering slash commands in the WAR interface.

With LibSlash installed, you’ll also be able to use /addon or /uimod to open the Addons window in-game.

This addon is a must have if you have other Addons relying on custom /slash commands. and the addon config command is very handy, however I have found that this does not work with some of the newer addons that have custom slash commands.

Squared

Squared is a highly-customizable unit frame addon similar to the widely-known WoW addon “Grid”. It provides a very compact view of health for you, your group, your warband, or your scenario. Clicking on a square will target the associated player.

This addon is simply beautiful. As a Zealot I am constantly buffing and healing people in warbands and parties, Squared makes selecting my group members and monitoring their health MUCH easier.

Squared – Healbot

SquaredHealBot provides mouse-click healing inside the Squared unit frames. You select a combination of modifiers, like ALT, SHIFT, CONTROL to be assigned to a certain spell. When you hold down those keys and left-click on your target, it will cast that spell on the selected target. If you have “clear target” enabled (it is off by default), it can clear your target after the spell has been cast. You cannot assign right-mouse clicks until Mythic allows it, but you can assign spells to any combination of modifiers and a left-mouse click.

Again, as a Zealot I am constantly buffing and healing, this addon makes it THAT MUCH MORE simpler and efficient to do. with a simple alt + click on someone’s name I am able to use my Dark Medicine ability right away and then click on someone elses name and cast Flash of Chaos to give them a quick patch over. VERY beautifully working addon indeed and highly recommended for people who constantly buff and have to interact with their warband.

Tome Titan

This add-on is designed to display data ingame in an easily readable format. It includes sections for Bestiary, Lore/History, Noteworthy Persons, Cultivation information, Lair Locations and Exploration/Pursuits information –with more categories planned on the way!
In short: Tome Titan is to help keep you from having to alt tab.

Features!

  • List all known Bestiary, History/Lore, and Noteworthy Persons unlocks.
  • You can toggle hiding completed entries!
  • Easily can be expanded to include any information you want!
  • Native support for popular Bar/Board add-ons!
  • Adds a button to your minimap for easy access — the button can be hidden via slash commands or moved via layout editor.
  • Constantly updating the Data files for known unlocks, check back often to stay current!
  • In game Change Log section accessed via the Tome Titan “FAQ and Credits” page will keep you up to date on all changes we make in each release.

I have saved the best for last, this addon makes gathering Tactics and Tokens such a breeze it’s ridiculous, the only issue I have with it is a few entries for unlocks are either vague or poorly written. A must have if you like becoming immersed in the Lore like myself. The unlockable perks aren’t bad either


If you have any other must have addons, please share them with us, and explain why they are on your must have list.

If you have been living in the dark ages of gaming, then likely you have never heard of these programs.  On the other hand, for a small donation to the people who make these programs, you will have access to them.

WarExtDLL is an extension that can be loaded into memory, when Warhammer is online, which will allow you to run some specialized hacks for Warhammer.

Zeabot, uses the WarExtDLL file, in order to automate the casting of spells.

HackPack is a compilation of smaller hacks, such as Line of Sight, Flying, Teleport (warp), and MapHack.

Assuming you are using MacroGoblin AND you play Warhammer Online, then this little script will come in handy.

What it does is when it detects an alarm and stop word, it will send a tell with whatever you want to the person contacting you to read, then wait 15 secs and send another tell to them stating the conversation is over.  Here’s what you plug into your Alarmstop_01 routine in macro goblin.

For those of you who wish to macro and bot in games, there is no better solution then Macro Goblin.  I have had the fortune to work with Jack in the past, and while his program does not support World of Warcraft as a memory reading/editing solution. However it does support many online games, including Aion, Warhammer, Age of Conan, EverQuest 2, Lord of the Rings Online, and more.  The nice thing about this macro software, is that you can use it in virtually any game including World of Warcraft), as it can be used as a pixel bot.  A Pixel bot, simply watches for color changes, and then when a color change happens, it performs a task, like move mouse to XY or press a key.  They also support crafting macros which is great if you hate to do crafting individually.  Of all the game bot programs out there, this is definitely one of my favorites and most reliable solutions.  I also want to mention that Jack tends to answer questions posted right away on his forums and he doesn’t flame noobs, which can happen with other bot suites.

I really loved the excitement of getting the title of “Ow my eye” when I first played WAR.  I was actually disappointed when Blizzard added titles and achievements to WoW, as they weren’t as fun as WAR’s version.  But it does show you that WoW still takes great ideas from other games and adds it to their game. – Spitt

This is how you get

  • “Ow my eye” – Click on yourself 100 times
  • “The Vain” – Click on yourself 5000 times
  • “The Target” – Get targeted 100 times while unarmored
  • “The Mark” – Get targeted 1000 times while unarmored
  • “Easy Target” – Get targeted 10,000 times while unarmored
  • “Poser” – Get targeted outside combat 100 times unarmored
  • “Celebrity” Get targeted outside combat 1000 times unarmored
  • “The Ogler” – Target an unarmored player 100 times
  • “The Watcher” – target and unarmored player 1000 times
  • “The Voyeur” – Target an unarmored player 10,000 times
  • “Self-Centered” – Target yourself while unarmored 100 times
  • “Egomaniac” – Target yourself while unarmored 1000 times
  • “Narcissist” – Target yourself while unarmored 10,00 times
  • “Emperor” – Get targeted outside combat unarmored 10,000 times

Hi folks, just updating you on some MMO news, and things what have been happening lately.  I want to draw special attention to the WoW 5th anniversary sweepstakes and the book for WoW, which leads us on to pre-Cataclysm.  Some very interesting stuff going on.

World of Warcraft News

  • New Non-Combat Pets For Sale – The Blizzard Store received a new addition this week in the form of non-combat pets for sale. That’s right, folks Blizzard is now selling in game items for real world money. Now this, as you can imagine, has produced every reaction possible from the community from members jumping on the proverbial bandwagon to those who say WoW is “ruined”.
  • WoW Fifth Anniversary Sweepstakes – WoW’s fifth anniversary falls on the 23rd of this month and as a way to thank their loyal customers they are running a different sweepstakes style giveaway every week this month. Last week’s winner received a limited edition World of Warcraft Charge of the Great Dragonflights Stein courtesy of sponsor Taverncraft. This weeks winners will receive a pair of gaming glasses from Gunnar optiks. The best thing…you don’t have to lift a finger, all WoW subscribers are automatically entered to win (rules are here)! So, sit back, relax and cross your fingers…you could be the next lucky one!
  • Curse Client v4 in Open Beta – Curse recently released version 4 of their addon client to open beta. The new version is a pretty major overhaul from the current client both in looks and functionality. Version 4 brings users desired features like change logs, addon package creation and added security. Some features will still be reserved only for premium users, but the client itself will pester users a lot less about upgrading. There is also a bug reporting system built right in to the client so devs will have an easier time tracking and fixing user’s issues. The new client is available for download here and comes in both PC and Mac versions.
  • Updated Patch 3.3 Notes – The 3.3 PTR received a couple of updates over the past week. Some of the items effected by the recent changes were the map interface, quest log and meeting stones.
  • WoW TCG Realm Championships – The WoW TCG has had a busy year and has just finished up with their World Championships. Still, they announced this week that they will be holding their Realm Championships November 14-15th in cities around the world including San Diego, Helsinki, Singapore and Melbourne just to name a few. Although the tournament play is by invite only, the events will have plenty of fun open to the public. To see a full list of cities, check out their website. If you’ve never been to a TCG event, they are a lot of fun and definitely worth checking out, so if one is coming to your city make sure you grab the chance!
  • WoW Cataclysm Novel Releasing in August 2010 – A listing showed up this week on Amazon that pegged the release of the hardcover version of the novel entitled World of Warcraft. The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm for August 31, 2010. This is really exciting news for all you lore nerds out there and it has also caused some speculation in the WoW community over the possible indication of the expansion release date. See, some will say that since the book is a “prelude”, the expansion will not release until after the book comes out. I think Blizzard has their own schedule in mind and that the two releases have nothing to do with one another. Only time will tell. Anyhow, the book is available for pre-order now for $26 on WoW: The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm via Amazon.com.
  • Comic Corner – This weeks comic corner will start off with the latest commandment from NoObz! and I have to say this one made me gasp…then laugh! Guess all you devoted WoW players might want to go check what’s going on in the next room after reading this one! Ok, on to the next one which is from Experience Points and it shows Vincent all excited over his brand new gaming blog and his new readers…but only for a moment. Now the next two comics had me really rolling with laughter, I mean they are the ones that make me glad there is no one else in my office! First the one from The Adventures of Disgraph T. Dwarf which shows sometimes it pays to be frugal (or not)…LMAO! Then there is the latest from Dungeons and Draenai. It is two simple frames of absolute hilarity…perfection! LOL
  • Stone Keeper’s Shards Post 3.3 - Blizzard poster, Zarhym cleared something up in a forum post this week regarding Stone Keeper’s Shards and the new Cross-Realm LFG System. The burning question from players was, what happens when you’re in a PUG that takes advantage of the cross-server system? Answer, the system will check to see if your home realm’s Wintergrasp is captured by your faction, if so you will get shard drops from bosses; if not you will not. The system will perform this check for each player in the PUG and those who are not supposed to get shards won’t even see them show up as a loot option on the bosses, so no “Hey! Where are MY shards!?” loot drama…thanks Blizz!
  • Create Merchandise Based on In-Game Characters – Blizzard has again expanded it’s offering of customizable merchandise with the opening of the Print Warcraft site. This site will allow you to create art like posters and prints based on your in-game characters. There are a ton of customization options once you have selected your character, realm and print size you will be able to choose from a number of different backgrounds, borders, poses, pets and more! The prints start at $17.99 and go up to about $30. This seems like it would make a pretty cool Christmas gift for your favorite WoW player…or for yourself!
  • Haris Pilton’s New Bag – Well we were pretty sure that Blizzard couldn’t resist giving us yet another pre-expansion gold sink and we were right. This week Haris Pilton, Shattrath socialite extraordinaire, began to peddle her limited edition accessories on the 3.3 PTR. And we noticed something…she has an all new item called the Portable Hole which is a BOE 24 slot bag retailing for a mere 3,000 Gold! Hey…style does NOT come cheap!
  • Movie of the Week – This week’s featured movie is called Mankrik’s Wife: The Story and for anyone who has done the quest or even heard about the quest to find Mankrik’s Wife, this one will strike a funny bone. I think the amnesia is hysterical…it reminds me of Dory from the Disney movie “Finding Nemo”. It’s pretty good!
  • New Buff Applied to PuG’s – Blizzard’s new Dungeon System, now on the PTR, is pretty cool and I honestly cannot see why anyone would NOT want to use it! But, in case you needed a little more incentive (aside from the extra gold and badges we already told you about)…here it is, groups who utilize the new dungeon system to PUG at least one member of their group will receive the “Luck of the Draw” buff while fighting in the dungeon. This buff increases the group’s damage, healing and base health all by 5%! Now, if for some reason this still isn’t enough incentive…how about a cool little non-combat pet as a reward for Pugging? Take a look at this little guy and tell me you don’t want to use the new system all the time! Adorable!
  • Instance Teleporting in 3.3/Meeting Stone Changes – In the most recent patch notes, I know I had a question of mine answered about the new “summon from anywhere” deal that is present in the new dungeon LFG system. Now, as we have pointed out before, the system will teleport you from wherever you are when your group has formed and your dungeon is ready. But, what happens when the dungeon is cleared and you leave? Well it seems you will go right back to wherever you were before being teleported. Makes sense and that will keep people from signing up for a Violet Hold just to get a free hearth to Dalaran, too! Another related change is that meeting stones will only require that a player be level 15 to use them and there is no maximum level restriction on any of them anymore.
  • Charity Drives For the Holidays – Now that Halloween is over and Thanksgiving is just around the corner many people get in the giving spirit. There are a couple of WoW related charity drives going on that we thought were worth a mention. Azeroth United is running a charity drive for Child’s Play and a donation of as little as $10 will get you entered into a drawing for gift baskets full of awesome wow-related prizes, so make sure you check it out at azerothunited.com. Next we have a very special in game event to tell you about called Raid for the Cure taking place this Saturday on the Kael’Thas (US) server at 2pm Central time. This is an event organized by the Sidhe Devils guild on that server in support of one of their own recently diagnosed with breast cancer where players will participate in an in-game version of the “walk for a cure” fundraiser. All details are available on bigbearbutt.com including donation details, raffles and start and end times/places. This is a great idea to show support and make a difference! We will be there…will you?

Aion News

  • 1.5.1 Patch Additions - NCSoft has announced a group of changes that are scheduled to be implemented this month on live servers, although there is no official release date yet. The changes include improvements/additions to many aspects of the game including characters, quests and User Interface changes. To see the full list, head on over to the Aion official news site.
  • Aion Fan Art on Facebook – NCSoft recently added a fan art section to it’s Official Aion Facebook Page which will allow fans of the game to share their artwork with others. Right now there are only two entries on the page, but I am looking forward to seeing what gets posted there in the future. To share your Aion-based artwork, drop them an e-mail at aion_community@ncsoft.com and they will upload it!
  • One Month Post-Release and Going Strong – Many Aion players have probably already noticed that the population in the game has continued to rise in the rather short time since launch, but now there are some statistics to back up this observation. Both Steam and Direct2Drive have posted their top ten lists for the week of October 25-31 and Aion (although near or at the bottom) still appears on both lists. Congrats to NCSoft on the game’s success!

Warhammer Online News

  • Endless Trial Now Available – We told you about this before when it was announced as “coming soon” and now it is live! Warhammer Online trial accounts now never expire! This means new players or even those returning will be able to experience the entire first tier of play in the game without the pressure of a time limit. Players can feel free to try out new classes, starting experiences and group play at their own pace. For restrictions and more information, check out the FAQ.
  • Interim City Siege Fixes - The recent changes which removed fortresses from the RvR campaign equation resulted in cities being constantly sieged (something the game was not dealing with very well) so devs had to come up with a temporary solution to the problems players were facing as a result of this change. This interim solution was put into place this week and includes fixes like stages 1 and 2 of the city siege being cut in half and city rank changes. To get the full rundown, you can read the post on the Official Forums.
  • John Cox on Hackers and Warhammer – This week Mythic posted a developer’s diary with John Cox, Development Manager, about their efforts to combat in-game hackers. The type of hacking this post deals with is that of third party programs which allow players to do things in the game world with their characters that should not even be possible and is certainly not allowed. He goes into everything from what they do to prevent these hacks, how they find the hackers and what they do to them once they have been caught to how devs identify and respond to reports of players using hacks. I thought this dev diary was informative. Good read.
