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…

Courtesy of the 1.3.1 patch, BFP has all new kinds of interesting terrain. Someone pass the LSD! Bug report here.

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…

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…

Ironbreaker Antili of the guild The Nexus on Volkmar sums up the dangers of new patches going live quite well. “Right now, walking through WAR is like walking through Hiroshima after the bomb.” Now, personally I haven’t had a ton of problems that make the game unplayable by any means. I don’t understand how so…

I’ve been slacking on WAR blogging. I think my head has been spinning over the transfer from Praag to Badlands, not sure what to make of 1.3.1 either for that matter. Forums have been blazing with whiny Destro players about how bad their classes are. Granted, some are actually bad. The cesspool of vitriol however…

A full week since a blog post! I’ve got some things on my mind… Firstly, the newly formed Alliance on Praag of the larger and more active RvR bloodthirsty cretins has successfully turned the tides of our server. Zones were flipped, Forts were pushed, and we were SO close to getting into the Inevitable City!…

I had about 5 hours of soloing time in WAR over the weekend, mostly on my Shadow Warrior looking for the next best place to kite mobs around. I spent a good amount of time in Talabecland at R26 running through the cemetery just outside the Flight Master location. Seems gravestones make for wonderful kiting…

Ah Good ol’ Bastion Stair, how well I remember you. This warband enabled instance was great fun to run around in wiping everything in our path. At least until we got to the instance bosses anyway. I’ve returned a few times since R40, be it on my Engi, Slayer, or Archmage, and in a smaller…
