Why you are going to (or already do) miss WAR?

I’ve been working on an anti-Aion post for a while now, building up seething hatred for those who have turned their back on WAR, and generally kicking puppies down the stairs while calling out the old Dwarven gods for strength. However, while I’m 9 paragraphs into tearing a hole in the glory perceived to be…

Become a Master Hunter

Finally tracked down all the critters needed for the Master Huntsman title. I had originally thought you needed to kill these in the elf lands, boy was I wrong. Hard to find them damn Vultures in Elf zones…

RvR PQ update.

Just an FYI, I logged on a moment ago, and got an in-game message that the PQ cooldown was being reduced from one hour, to 15 minutes between resetting. This is awesome, time for bag farming.

Hunters Vale tips and strategies (Tier 1 refresh)

For posterity I’ve decide to rewrite this as it applies to T1, and leave the rest included in the event that the Wild Hunt returns next year sometime. Since Hunters Vale was added to T1, it has been dumbed down quite a bit and simplified. I’d imagine people that read the original guide at the…

The Guinea Pigs of WAR

Dark Crag and Iron Rock. Historic testing sites of live server patching. It’s always a good sign when one of these two fine communities gets shafted with a few hours of downtime, combined with a likely following of extra special bugs, BUT hopefully getting the target bugs fixed in the first place. Now, granted, these…

Saving the Losers with Undead

How do you beat a zerg? Zerg harder! Or carpet bombing… Or a healthy dose of napalm… The battlefields of WAR can be quickly littered with corpses in all stages of rot and decay. When facing a hoard of enemies, what better way to even the tides of any battle than with the freshly fallen…

Fortresses, What Now?

Damn that’s pretty. Changes are coming to Forts… eventually. Supposedly it’s going to be “…cool. Trust me.” according to the Producers Letter and Jeff Skalski. Of course, as is my habit, I jabber on to my guildies more than I probably should about things that could have been. Forts have me twisting in ten different…
