Warhammer Online NEEDS Darkness Falls

—

The solution to Warhammer Online’s Open RvR problem is simple: Darkness Falls. That’s right, introduce what existed in Dark Age of Camelot into a system that is trying to mimick Dark Age of Camelot. Duh, right? Warhammer Online, back in November 2007, was delayed in order to ...

WAR’s Greatest Flaw

Good choice to not shoot yourself in the foot, Mythic

— keenandgraev.com — The decision I’m referring to is tonight’s hotfix to remove the change made to the game in... the 1.0.4b on 11/11/2008 (yesterday). This change was a heinous, horrible, and downright stupid (sorry for being blunt but it was) change to the ... (more) Good choice to not shoot yourself in the foot, Mythic

  Yes, yes it is! Darkness Falls was one of the best memories I have from DAOC. Let's hope they bring back a new and improved DF!

WAR: The view from Hibernia
/random — ... Keen did a great job covering the Darkness Falls idea the other day, and Syncaine mentions the three-realm factor in the comments of that thread. It’s a good discussion. It will be interesting to see if Mythic manages to keep everyone motivated through Tier 4 and at the end game. Without a compelling reason to venture out to RvR, and without a third realm to offset the dominance of one faction over another, I’d be concerned that Open RvR will feel like an exercise in frustration if one faction is much stronger than another. ...

Some of the cooler RvR ideas I’ve read lately…
Snaffy's Space — ... RvR but it forgot that one crucial element… the PURPOSE.  Sure, city sieges are a purpose but let’s be realistic - a keep is under attack in Praag… why would I go defend if it poses no threat to our city?  It’s going to take like 8 keeps, 2 fortreses, and a TON of RvR to make our capital city vulnerable.  As of right now a city siege is not going to happen.  So, we come back to the PURPOSE.  I strongly feel that Darkness Falls provides that purpose.  Find out more about Darkness Falls here. ...

WAR’s Call to Arms
reroller: a warhammer online and mmorpg blog — ... While much of this was expected, which should definitely keep us all busy in WAR for the next couple of months, the new latter pair of live events and the RvR-controlled dungeon are intriguing to me. It looks as though WAR has taken the community’s feedback to heart (Keen has been asking for a WAR version of Darkness Falls for months), which is, to my mind, pretty awesome. ...

Post-announcement thoughts
Werit — ... Land of the Dead. The new RvR Dungeon, akin to Darkness Falls and LoTRO's Delving PvMP dungeon. Many folks had been calling for this to be added, as it was a popular feature of DAoC. I was never really for or against it. Now that I have ...

Abuse of the expansion
Player Versus Developer — ... " is impressive and commendable. In stark contrast to Blizzard's stony wall of silence, Warhammer players now know what they can expect to get in the first half of 2009. It's an impressive slate - four world events, the return of the last two classes cut in the game's beta, and a new RVR dungeon zone based on an old DAOC staple that serious fans have wanted for Warhammer for a while now. It is likely to be more than Blizzard is going to deliver in the one content patch that most players expect them to produce during the same time frame. ...
