“Call to Arms” Update & Land of the Dead

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009 25 views

  Seems like the cat jumped out of the sack before Mythic could post their large announcement. Reading at eurogamer.net, GOA has announced a big "Call to Arms" update. The news include Orc Choppa and Dwarf Slayer confirmed (in March, early access throuh live-event again), a Land of the Dead zone ...

Ready-Check for Warbands

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009 13 views

  Yesterday before some planned large scale oRvR, we were talking on vent about how to improve effectiveness and organization for warbands. One thing I really miss is a ready-check. It should use an easy command like /rdy and then everyone in the party/warband gets a small pop-up where you are ...

  Maybe you saw the recently appeared rag doll of Paul Barnett, possibly in the "home invasion" video. Paul's latest video blog entry shows the puppet as well. Looks like the rag doll was created by Angie, a software tester at Mythic, and i think its really funny. If someone creates ...

1.2 Patch Notes Thoughts

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009 25 views

  Seriously long patch notes, takes a while to dig (or should i say chop?) through. Some major changes to RvR combat, like disorients no longer stacking, Immovable upgraded to 20secs and a large hit to resistances. Resistances will yield diminishing returns after 40% (and yes, Adam says its still going ...

With Mythic hyping the 1.2 patch and especially the upcoming two new classes many players were eager to try them out on the test servers. In the beginning of February along with some others i was approached by GOA and invited onto the upcoming test server. The test was supposed ...
