Hot Fixes – 5/29/2009
May 29th, 2009
Faim Greetings!
While we’re hard at work testing Game Update 1.3 on the Public Test Server, we still have many Hot Fixes coming your way. Here’s today’s round of Hot Fixes:
Content
Quests
- Time to Waaagh!: Players will now be given clear directions where to use the War Bellow in order to summon Wazgit.
Public Quests
- The Enemy Within: Peasants will now more consistently be able to escape, which will resolve an issue that could in some cases stop the Public Quest from progressing properly.
- The Ebon Keep: Fixed an issue that could allow Destruction realm players to attack the monsters in Stage 1 of this Empire Chapter 22 Public Quest.
- The Shrine of Tethlis: Fixed an issue that was preventing all of the monsters from spawning, which in turn was preventing players from being able to advance the Public Quest to stage 2.
Realm vs. Realm
- In a further effort to improve server stability during Fortress raids, we have adjusted the population cap limits in a Fortress area when the campaign has advanced to the Fortresses. Population caps for both sides have both been slightly lowered, however the ratio of attackers to defenders remains similar.
- Guards have been added to the refugee camps in The Maw and Reikwald that spawn when the corresponding city becomes contested.
- The outer door oil pad in Hatred’s Way Keep will now be able to be hit with ranged abilities from the ground.
- Keep upgrade agents will now respawn after a server shut down, if the Keep is claimed.
- Additional guards have been added to Mudja’s Warcamp in Thunder Mountain.
- Fixed an issue that was causing the zone point exits from the Tier 2 Gates of Ekrund Scenario not to function.
1.3 PTS Phase 2
May 28th, 2009
Faim Greetings!
We are continuing the Public Test of Game Update 1.3 starting tonight. During this phase of public testing we will be introducing even more Combat & Career changes and adjustments that we’ve implemented in large part due to outstanding player feedback during phase one.
In Phase two we will be introducing the Realm Resource Quest which controls which realm has access to the new Land of the Dead. Players will receive one Expedition Quest item from each player kill, which can be turned in to Expedition Quartermasters found near the Flight Masters in Capital Cities.
Players can view the Realm resource tracker by opening their World Map. The resource tracker can be toggled to display on your HUD, much like the campaign tracker.
We are also excited to announce our player incentive awards for this phase of Public Testing. Players who participate in the 1.3 Public Test will have the chance to win either an Imperial Griffon or an Enslaved Manticore Mount. Winners will be randomly selected from qualifying contributors. Qualifying contributors will be selected based on many metrics, including participation, feedback, quality of feedback and other public test statistics.
For information on how to access the Public Test server see this thread. From there you can also find the PTS Forums or visit www.warhammeronline.com/forums and click on “Test Center”.
