1.3.2 has arrived

MeBeGreen

Which should make it a whole lot easier getting started properly, doing the different chapters fully and all that. All New Order players will start in the Empire area, and all new Destruction players will start in the Chaos area. WHY didn’t they choose the greenskin area, hm!? :)

Hello Everyone :)

MeBeGreen

Hey guys!

I’ve had very little time to play lately, seeing as I’ve started studying again so..! Chapter 3 of the destruction guide will be treated a little differently than the others; this time I’ll probably simply post a level or two at a time. This works much better for everyone, I think, seeing as the updates will be more frequent, and it’ll actually feel like I’m accomplishing something :) .

Have a nice week!

Wild Hunt: Live Event Guide/Info *Updated*

Mangekyou

2009WildHunt_Logo

Updated with pictures! More information on the way!!

The Wild hunt is upon us and we are of course exploring it. The new Live Event comes with new material for some RvR zones, a new instance and of course new achievement and rewards for us to get our hands on. Here is what we know so far (This post will be updated as new information is found!):

Objectives List

  • Enter Hunter’s Vale
  • Locate the Fallen Hunters
  • Complete ‘To Deny a God’ Quest
  • Kill five Sacred Stags
  • Target the Stag of Kurnous
  • Participate in Any Elf Scenario
  • Kill five Beast-Hexed players
  • Become Beast-Hexed five times
  • Complete all the Tasks on the Master Huntsman Page
  • Kill the Spirit of Kurnous
  • Complete all Wild Hunt tasks

Here is some more information in detail:

Public Quests

There are PQ’s happening all around the Elf RvR lakes – meaning you will have to go to The Blighted Isle (Tier 1), Unicorn Gate in The Shadowlands (Tier 2), etc. to find them.

The Curse of Kurnous

This quest is happening in Tier 1 and possibly all the Tiers (awaiting confirmation). It gives a lot of xp clearing just the steps, but bring a group of 5+ people if you intend to see it through.

Stage 1 (Arm Oakfall Snares for your side) – The oakfall snare is a small bush looking thing, found near the Vine portals, scattered along the road. Interact with them to light a fire in them and find 8 ones to complete the stage.

Image of the Oakfall Snares – hard to spot!

Stage 2 (Kill the Champions) - As soon as the previous stage is complete 3 champions will spawn. They ride along the road as well and is in Tier 1 levels 8, 9 and 10. The 3 man group I was with was utterly butchered, so bring more people if you hope to take them down.

Instance

There is a new instance as well, which can only be accessed while in a group. Scattered around the Elf RvR lakes are Vale Vines. These big portal looking things are just that, and transports you to the Hunter’s Vale (which is one of the tasks in itself).

VinePortal

The Hunters

Another of the objectives is to find the hunters that came before you. This means finding the scattered corpses around the vale, but be aware as some of them are guarded by Dryad lvl 10 champions. Interacting with them yields another step towards completing the objective. So far we have found the following:

  • Sorceress – Just down the road by the rocks from the entrance.
  • Shadow Warrior / High Elf – Going left from the entrace, through the undergrowth – close to the cliffs at the foot of a tree.

Animals to Hunt

The instance is also home to some of the creatures that needs to be hunter to gain the title of Master of the Hunt. In particular the forest seems to have a lot of Cold Ones and Deer. You need to kill 1 to get an unlock in the book and 15 of each to complete it.

Other Objectives

Here are some other objectives that will need to completed on the way to full Influence and the grand rewards:

Participate in 3 elf Scenarious - Meaning you have to play 3 scenarios that has some relation to the elves, ie. Khaine’s Embrace, Phoenix Gate, Lost Temple of Isha, etc.

Kill 5 Sacred Stags - These Lord level creatures roam the RvR lakes at random. They are quite fast and have annoyingly strong armor, but on the other hand they don’t fight back so just keep hounding them. Better in a group.

Spirit of Kurnous - This guy is a big walking ethereal tree man that also wanders around the Elf RvR lakes. He is targetable but you can’t attack him. He will however curse you, adding a button to your hotbar of transferring the curse to someone else. If you don’t you will turn into a pig (dying as a pib gives a funny unlock though :D ).

Kill Beast-Hexed Players – The curse that turns you into a pig is called the beast hex. So I assume it means you have to kill players who have been hexed. haven’t had a chance to try it yet though.

Become Beast-Hexed – You need to get hexed 5 times so hang around the Spirit of Kurnous as we wanders around the RvR Lake. He moves in a pattern, keping close to the Oakfall Snares so you should do the same :)

The FAQ page has been updated, as has the About-page.

Additionally, I updated the Greenskin guide a little bit, which should make things a little easier on people :)

Keep Ramps Developer Diary

MeBeGreen

With the second Keep Ramps coming closer, take a look at this article on the thoughts behind their implementation.

http://www.war-europe.com/#/devdiaries/?lang=en&diary=russemchamier

The second ramp will certainly be a welcome change! When a warband breaks through the Keep door, a second stair will now lead to the balcony, next to the keep lord. Defenders will have their hands full!

PTS – Altdorf Siege!

MeBeGreen

For our european visitors, tonight will be a second chance of reviewing the revamped City Sieges.

To join, you have to download the patch by clicking the “testpatch” in your WAR folder, and then create a character using the template in the upper right-hand corner of the character creation screen (you are rank 40, with full invader gear).

Having tried IC last night, Altdorf is promising to be lots of fun! :) Just remember to join a warband BEFORE you enter the city :P

Have fun guys!

To WAR!
