Close Quarters is....
...still in the game. Why? The biggest problem in class balance and overall RvR is the insane power of AoE. Charges are still led by Wizards and Sorcs instead of melee. Why has the latest patch once again ignored this? I can live with the patch notes being a bit meh and uninspiring, but ...

Vamping it up
As I mentioned recently, I already know what I want for a Live Expansion... I want Sylvania and Drakenhof Castle. Sylvania is the home of the Vampire Counts, specifically the Von Carsteins, warhammer's classic Dracula style vampires. Being Warhammer they are more a bit more aggresive than ...

Podcastastic
A week or so ago those nice folks over at WHA invited me to take part in their podcast. Despite copious amounts of Dutch courage and me being a dirty saaaarthen England git, somehow I managed to avoid swearing. I think anyway... Can't check it right now as I have pig pox and am writing this on ...

Complacency beats KF to death with their own shoes
My guild "Kill Frenzy" has always been pretty good in scenarios. In the past when we did regular premades it would normally result in a night of wins, with at absolute worst only a handfull of competitively fought losses. Order publically respected our groups and I can say without ego bias that ...

Thorn wishes Aegis, the colours of space
The idea of a true Warhammer 40,000 MMO is one of those dream games. Travelling the galaxy as Rogue Trader exploring, fighting, trading, just trying to survive… Or perhaps as servants of the Inquisition, scouring the galaxy of heretics, xenos and worse. Or scrubbing about as a Hive Ganger, ...

1.3.3 patch notes are coming soon
I'm not really sure what to expect from it. It's gonna have the graphic improvements, but other than that... Will the underdog system be in place? Big career changes? Anything global omfg it changes everything?

Keeping the faith
Assuming all is actually well with WAR and it has a positive future, I really do think Mythic need to announce something big and exciting if we are to keep the faith. I've been pondering what I would consider as big and exciting enough... Third Faction This is the obvious one, but its ...

Open RvR Closed
bootaesbloodyblog.blogspot.com — The Eltharion server is about to go bye bye. GOA will shortly start transfers away from the... last open RvR server in Europe. Its player base having only Karak Norn and Karak Azgal left to choose from. It’s always a shame to see a server die and WAR ... (more) Open RvR Closed
Colossal Colossus
Couple of days ago I got my first experience of fighting the Colossus in Land of the Dead. In case you’re not familiar with this particular beastie, here’s the low down. When a group successfully clears all 8 bosses in Tomb of the Vulture Lord and the PQ outside is then completed again, it ...

Rorschach you are not
bootaesbloodyblog.blogspot.com — Mmmm Gud hits the nail on the head with the blog post " Maintenance mode? Absolutely incorrect... ". But of course the doom callers will say the post Lokax links to is just from some community manager, so what do they know eh? Random forum troll ... (more) Rorschach you are not
ToVL is STILL a buggy pain in the neck
I'm writing this while waiting for a CSR, but it's been a while so I think I'm stuffed. We wiped at the third boss and now the instance has bugged, the doors in the first room are locked and we can't back in. It's really, really annoying. The group I'm in with tonight is mainly people that ...

Busy busy busy!
Been a bit slow posting this week, sorry ;) It's all gone a bit mental trying to juggle gaming and real life, so much so that I've had little time to write anything up. Reason for this increased juggling is the quality game releases over the last few weeks. As well as WAR and EVE, I'm playing ...

Storm in a tea cup or turd covered fan?
Ok so what we know is: EA have made 1500 job cuts , some of which (apparently 80) are from Mythic. Other than that we don't know anything. Various people who claim to have insider knowledge are saying that it's all of Mythics creative staff gone and the whole studio is ...

Mythic become attracted to Starbucks
It's waking up to that alluring coffee smell that does it... You've probably already heard about the city changes, but if not go read this post on the official Mythic forums . It's a decent sticky plaster fix and makes perfect sense as something they could quickly do. Long term, as ...

The King is dead! Long live the King!
Yesterday Karak Norn witnessed it's first king kill. Well, I say Karak Norn witnessed it, but to be honest that's a somewhat misleading use of words. It was a server first, but it was only witnessed by a very small number of people, since the kill happened at 4:40 AM. :P As you can no doubt ...

Make it stop… please
bootaesbloodyblog.blogspot.com — This city sieging crap is rapidly getting painfully annoying. In my guild we’re mostly adults (at least physically) with 9-5 jobs,... so we won’t get back home from work at least until 6pm, then there’s sorting out dinner, getting the ... (more) Make it stop… please
