Hurrik

Not too long ago, I got my second character to the level cap (40) in WAR.  It was a first for me in any MMO.  Now we have another first, my third character reached level 40.  This time it was my Rune Priest, Hurrik.  That's three Dwarf's, only one more for the set!

Summer of Werit

Summer is in full swing here.  That means things have slowed down a bit for many companies.  People go on vacation, conferences and just slack off in general.  I'm probably guilty of it but who can blame me when it is so nice outside?  That is why we have vacation hours.  The summer has also crossed over to my video game playing.

News from the Front 6/25

This week was pretty important for me as far as WAR goes.  Tirew, my Engineer, hit Renown Rank 66.  That means I can now wear 3 pieces of Warlord armor.  It takes 3 to get the +Ballistics bonus.  It also means I will have to redo my gear and talismans, should be fun!  What is everyone else up to?

WAR in Europe III

That's right, we are still not done with the WAR Europe blogs and fansites.  It is looking like I will beat out Jaws for the number of sequels.  I think these posts and the News from the Front show that the WAR community is rather large and still growing.  Stop by some of these sites if you get a chance.

New Vanity Pets for WAR?

There is an interesting post on the WAR Europe forums.  It seems an article about Warhammer Online in White Dwarf Magazine (Games Workshop) mentions the addition of new pets and familiars to the game.  Considering the source, it seems like it could be more than just a rumor.  So, how plausible is this rumor?

Mythic minus one

As many of you may have heard, last week Josh Drescher was let go from Mythic.  This was rather surprising news since Josh has been with Mythic and WAR for quite a long time.  What does this mean for WAR going forward?

It takes skills

One thing I have always neglected in Fallen Earth has been my skills.  Since I have been concentrating on crafting, I only needed the most basic of combat training.  In order to actually progress, I figured it was time to complete some quests and get on with the story.

I love lockout timers!

Really, I do.  Lockout timers are often hated on by many MMO players.  They often serve as a roadblock to pace a players progression.  Whether that is good or not, I'll leave to the MMO philosophers.  When it comes to WAR's city siege lockout timers, they are awesome.

Champion

Not long ago, a nightmare for Destruction came true.  Sigmar, in his infinite wisdom, chose Tirew (my Engineer) to be his champion.  Alright, maybe it wasn't wisdom so much as there was no one better around.  Witness the mayhem of a giant armed Dwarf!

What happens in the Wasteland...

When you're fighting for survival against mutants, giant bugs and your fellow man, it is nice to have a place where you can relax, drink a few "beverages" and lose some of your hard earned chips.  Taverns/Bars are a relatively recent addition to Fallen Earth, so I figured it was time I checked them out.

Appearance

One of the bigger features coming to WAR in 1.3.6 is an appearance system.  The gist of the system is that it would allow a player to wear a set of armor for the stats, but show other armor pieces.  Games like Lord of the Rings Online and Everquest 2 have had similar systems for a while.  Will this work in WAR?

WAR in Europe

In last weeks contest, I asked players to submit a EU Warhammer Online blog or fansite for a chance at winning a new mount.  The response was very good and I have quite a few links to share.  There are far too many to put in a single post, so I'll have to break it up a bit.  Continue on for the first WAR in Europe.

One Night in Chaos Wastes

Last night I played a little bit on my Ironbreaker.  I only had a short time and saw there was a bunch of activity in Chaos Wastes.  Order was attempting to siege the city and Destruction was not being cooperative.  Who said the campaign would be dead?

Spring Cleaning

In a post last week, I wrote about my efforts to bring my Fallen Earth character back in line with my goals.  Since that is done, the next step is to do a bit of spring cleaning.  It is very easy to become a pack rat in FE.  Eventually it just became too much, so I had to make a change.
