so i hope you had one from last year or happy farming realistically i m going to do the races for another 2 3 days until i get into the brew club and then i suppose i ll go back to warhammer that s a far cry from last year s account reactivation worthy event to say nothing of the midsummer fire festival posted by green armadillo at 10 58 pm 5 comments labels pvd world events wow thursday september 18 2008 actually improving the game one thing that has impressed me about warhammer is how much they ve added to the game since the start of the open beta perhaps i should instead be horrified that they didn t bother to do this stuff until the very last minute but i ll take the half full glass for now a few things that jumped out at me thanks to the anonymous commenter from my last entry for pointing out there there is now an option in one of the game options menu that allows you to turn off self clicking so that you don t get in your own way while looting targeting my poor dwarf engineer unlocked the ow my eye achievement for being accidentally clicked on 100 times in the five levels i gained before someone pointed this out not really an added feature but queues seem to have died down somewhat as of last night the final day of the headstart there are four servers that are simply overcrowded and even then three of those will let you in if you re playing order it will be interesting to see if the queues are actually worse tonight for the official this time is actually it we swear retail launch many stores appear to have distributed their preorders yesterday adding yet another milestone to quite possibly the most separate launch dates in mmorpg history i previously complained about repeating a pq four times coming in first overall once and failing to obtain any loot all four times well mythic seems to agree that this can be aggravating so they ve added in a bonus for previous no loot attempts it isn t a huge bonus 100 points which gets added to your roll of 1 1000 and as much as 500 points for contribution but it supposedly stacks and it does a lot to ease the frustration overall it s encouraging to see changes like this getting added to the game so rapidly i m not sure if the closed beta testers had just gotten used to the problems and not complained if livability stuff like this was somehow deemed too low a priority to fix until the week before launch etc but fixing problems is definitely better than not fixing them posted by green armadillo at 7 59 am 0 comments labels warhammer tuesday september 16 2008 warhammer regular preorder head start launch impressions a few random thoughts from what i ve seen so far warhammer is not world of warcraft there are ui similarities etc etc but the two games are not identical this would seem to be an obvious point but a fair chunk of the wow community seems to think otherwise honestly that s part of why blizzard s wrath hype on warhammer s launch week may be misguided most warhammer players will be glad to fill pages of commentary about what s wrong with wow while fans of wow s pve probably won t find enough depth in warhammer s pve game anyway case in point i rolled up a white lion warhammer s melee pet class during the open beta thinking that i might like it because i liked the melee pet aspects of death knights i wasn t that impressed i also thought that i would not like the game s two turret classes the engineer with actual gun turrets and the magus with stationary demon pets because i can t stand wow s shaman precisely because of the need to manage stationary totems well the whole mechanic is upended in warhammer because your action points mana energy equivalent regenerate rapidly even in combat so where totems make your shaman go oom faster and have to sit and drink forcing you to decide whether the benefit of the totem is enough to help you kill faster to offset the mana cost the engineer isn t looking at a huge loss for redeploying his turrets did mythic deploy enough servers wow s original launch was a clear case of not enough servers far too few were available on launch day and the addition of new ones even later the same day came too late crowded mmorpg servers tend to get more overcrowded as new players go to join their friends or at least go to servers with a larger economy and more guilds by contrast i was very very concerned about the small number of servers at lotro s launch a year and a half ago but it turned out that the ones they rolled out for open beta were sufficient to hold everyone who showed up as of 7 pm est tonight mythic had rolled out 49 servers seven of those servers had queues on the destruction side while a smaller number maybe 3ish had queues on the order side i have no idea which of those servers have been around since the collector s edition headstart happened on sunday or how many opened today this is relevant because the queue is lower on servers when they first open to accommodate the rush on the newbie zones i e i don t know whether the queues are on brand new servers or not also not everyone may have decided to bother with the download for the head start though in lotro s case it seemed most everyone did then again folks on the west coast aren t even home from work yet on the flip side keen complains that his server seems under populated i m guessing this is why mythic was initially cautious with how many servers to roll out we ll see if they got the numbers right yep still not world of warcraft jobildo explains better than i can how warhammer isn t as much fun if you re not in a group sure enough i noticed that today with my newbie dwarf as there weren t enough people to really attempt the second pq in the dwarven starting area and despite an overwhelming greenskin presence that completely wiped out the zone control meter my scenario queue didn t pop in nearly an hour my initial instinct was to go for the least populous realm possible to avoid queues i took mythic s please go play order on sea of malice so our pop balance doesn t go to crap invitation but i may need to revise that stance to go somewhere with more people i know to help the guild acquisition process overall bottom line is that i had a good time on my second first impression of warhammer though selecting myself while attempting to loot corpses is still freaking annoying i don t know how long i ll be playing this game but it s certainly looking like it ll keep me entertained for a few months posted by green armadillo at 7 24 pm 1 comments labels warhammer monday september 15 2008 wrath hype on warhammer s launch week continues well neither warhammer nor wrath is out in stores yet but already some of my predictions have proven false i predicted that blizzard would unveil the launch date for wrath on the oct 7th weekend during blizzcon and that patch 3 0 would be on the live servers before warhammer s second monthly bill comes due in mid november i was a month too slow on both well i did kind of hedge that they might try to get the expansion out by mid nov apparently they didn t want to risk having players wander off to warhammer and miss that announcement so they let fansites do the announcement for them wrath launches nov 13th just shy of wow s fourth anniversary a few random reactions what left for blizzcon one of the reasons why i d predicted a release date launch at blizzcon was that there isn t much in the way of immediately obvious stuff for them to announce then starcraft ii and diablo iii are already announced and neither is as far as anyone knows near launch it doesn t make any sense to roll out the secret fourth project with both of those and wrath still in the horizon presumably diii will actually be playable at blizzcon and they will probably roll out one more playable class perhaps there will be a beta kickoff for one or both still one would figure that they would want some wow related announcement for an event that falls a month before the expansion launch with the beta in full swing and the 3 0 patch on the ptr s quite possibly live or perhaps going live the week after blizzcon there aren t really any secrets about what s in the expansion now perhaps they really will let the event go by without any real wow news but that would seem like a disappointment collector s edition disappoints two years ago i shelled out an extra 30 for a tbc collector s edition that included an art book a making of dvd a soundtrack a mouse pad some tcg cards i ve never used and a blue whelp non combat pet the wrath ce will be identical down to the blue whelp non combat pet which will be a frost wyrm instead of a nether drake this time seriously couldn t they think of something original baby tuskarr wolvar ah well guess i shouldn t complain that s 30 i don t have to spend and less hassle to try and chase down a copy of the ce what does this mean for the battle with warhammer if you ve been keeping your eyes on this situation see my battle of the war mmorpg s tag blizzard really wants players to know that their expansion is on the horizon for warhammer and wrath that really means that november 18th is judgment time the second monthly fee for warhammer would come due a week after wrath s launch if warhammer hasn t made its case within its first month and a half players may leave for wrath and not return at any rate i would imagine that blizzard is now out of press releases for at least three weeks til blizzcon the stage is now mythic s to do with as they can posted by green armadillo at 7 16 pm 0 comments labels battle of the war mmorpg s wow wrath saturday september 13 2008 the 3 0 ptr salvo has been fired patch 3 0 hits the ptr as i predicted previously the patch 3 0 ptr is now up and running just in time to beat the start of warhammer s ce headstart tomorrow for blizzard employees to come in on a saturday night to make sure this thing beat warhammer s sunday launch tells you just how seriously they re taking this pve to pvp transfers blizzard also reversed the long standing and long disputed policy on paid character transfers from pve to pvp servers by some accounts the old policy was hampering recruitment by elite raiding guilds on pve servers since applicants from pvp servers were not willing to permanently foreswear transferring back to pvp servers it boggles my mind that you would pay to move your character off a server for a trial with some guild but people apparently do it impact i m not convinced that either decision is going to have much of any effect with the ptr s you re looking at hours of client downloads a lengthy wait for character copies and probably an enormous queue to actually log onto the server only to have all your progress wiped when the ptr ends as to the transfers it certainly makes life easier for some players but i doubt that a large portion of the population will be affected if patch 3 0 had actually been ready to go to the live servers that might have actually affected people s decisions regarding warhammer but i don t think the ptr s are going to do anything beyond reminding people that there s an expansion coming i suppose the x factor is word of mouth warhammer is going to get good reviews but there will be some problems especially in europe from the looks of things and there also will be people who don t like the game if the buzz on warhammer is mixed and the buzz on wow is generally positive well i guess that s what blizzard thinks is worth working through the weekend for posted by green armadillo at 10 50 pm 1 comments labels battle of the war mmorpg s wow wrath friday september 12 2008 blizzard says take our beta please blizzard s ongoing blitz of expansion hype continues with a new flurry of opt in beta keys for wrath i have to say i m a bit disappointed in them the beta servers are constantly down or crashing and the two zones with level 78 content are disabled more often than not making that content impossible to test this beta does not need more testers at the moment but the marketing team apparently is hoping that a shiny new beta key in the inbox will be enough to make some players forget to pick up their warhammer pre orders next week and perhaps even distract their friends with expansion talk in fairness it would probably have worked on me if i hadn t been in the beta since july this does however mean that i have absolutely no use for the wrath beta key that just arrived in my inbox yes i checked that it s different from the original one which means that one of you my readers is going to win a free trip into

got from blizzard who stated early in the opt in process that keys are not bound to the specific account that opted in for them there s no reason i can see why the key should not work for you but i m obviously not going to be able to do anything about it if it doesn t blizzard s position is that they also will not provide support presumably because they don t want to deal with 10 million people who lost their beta keys finally you may note that i did not go out of my way to label this post beta key giveaway here and i will not be promoting this little contest or mentioning it again until we
