Why I don’t give a !&*# about advance NDA drops
/random — ... If you’re following Warhammer Online, you know that some websites have permission from Mythic to break the closed beta non-disclosure agreement. I know this has pissed off some dedicated WAR bloggers, like Syp. And I don’t blame Syp. It’s really a shame that his dedication to WAR goes unrewarded here, but I suppose EA/Mythic feels like they have to kiss the ass of “major gaming sites” and give them something exclusive. ...

The Waaagh! Blog on PvE
Warhammer Vault - The Ultimate Resource — ... But is this true? Is PvE content so abysmal and forgettable in WAR that we should declare it a heresy and burn it at the stake? Or is this a kneejerk reaction that starts with an assumption and is unclouded by facts and unbiased gameplay?" This write up covers all the bases of seemingly overlooked aspect of War, PvE. Why War is different then other mmo's, and how the casual solo PvE'er might want to get down with some good ole fashioned barnyard stompin PvP action. Read the rest at The Waaagh! Blog. -- ...

Warhammer Vault - The Ultimate Resource — ... [image] Our friends over at Waaagh Blog have a great review of the Tome of Knowledge. Gotta say I love my Tome!!!! Great review and a must read! 1. The Unlock Rate When you start up a new character in WAR, the Tome is like a hyper-chatty party hostess looking to talk your head off and show you around to everybody. “Did you see that? How about that? And that?” The unlocks just fly in, one after another, and while they border on “too much too fast”, each one is a pleasant little jolt of discovery and reward. I get killed by a Sorceress in Nordenwatch? No worries, the Tome ...

But it’s been put on hold indefinitely. Shame, but it’s happened a fair bit. Still worth downloading and listening to the episodes they produced, but it’ll be pretty out-of-date.
