Entered the beta key 3 hours ago and got the welcome email 1 minute later, but that email IS NOT the validation email. People are just starting to report over at WHA the receipt of an email that states they have sucessfully registered an Oen Beta key. When you recieve that one, you can login and patch.

can you link your dev post/evidence plz

the reason i'm asking is my guild is having a open vs core debate right now

If I had a link I would give it to you. What I posted comes from a year of reading forums, and reading beta leaks etc <shrug> If your guild has any beta testers in it, they can tell you. Beta testers in my guild were very strongly in favour of Open servers, but have since changed their minds.

Personally I prefer Core servers, and my guild will try that type first. If it doesn't work out, we are all re-rolling as a unit to Open.

t-4-32-40

This is correct. Level 40 players have the run of tier 3 AND 4 on all types of server. Chicken does not come into the equation. Chicken is tier 1 and 2 ONLY

In open servers you can gank to your heart's content. (Lower level players do not get Bolster) The chicken is still in open servers but only in very specific areas

In core servers you can gank lvl 22 players in tier 3, but they will be Bolsered up in levels to the median f that tier which is 26?? I think.

Its not even a bug I think its just to make people leave the down loader going to seed the files for others  Seriously though, your files are all done. Just install the client by using the .exe in the download folder and you're ready for Sunday.

Im having the same fears and doubts, if the beta key input aint on today im gonna be even more worried purely because if the patch really is 3gb and everyones gonna hit the server hard for the patch im expecting problems. Ontop of that what if we find out that alot of the EU beta keys dont work there wont be any time to fix this issue as the OB will already be upon, its short enough as it is without us having to miss a day of OB because of problems.

Yes, they are really pushing things leaving it this late. If our European keys don't fail in the same kinds of numbers as the american ones I will be surprised. If they are 100% ok, that would mean GOA 1 Mythic 0, which I cannot see ever happening

Mark Jacobs is hoping for a million or more subscribers overall, and he sais in his blog that the 1million mark would be his number for indication of a succesful MMO in these times. Secretly, I think he's hoping for something like 4 million, but that's something that will take a few years.

I don't doubt that a year on from release WAR will have over 1 million, but how much over I have no idea.

Vista 64 here, and I would never go back to XP. Having said that though, I think the pople that think vista is inferior to xp probably don't have the system to make the best of vista. For one thing, if you have 2gb ram or less I would stay with xp. While Vista will work with 2gb ram, it won't be at its best. I have 6gb and things run really fast with no stutters.

It all comes down to money. If you can afford a good system then go vista 64. If you can't, stay with xp. WAR runs well on both.

hey i have open beta so i downloaded installed and i'm ready to go. I'm from the UK and will be getting headstart from play.com but they dont send the keys out until the 14-15th so i want to get the EU client installed and ready to go. Is this the right one http://www.war-europe.com/#/clientdl/?lang=en . Will this patch from OB to Headstart.??

That's the client for Europeans, yes, and after OB it can be patched for the headstart... but in your subject line it says you want American??

I agree with that it is annoying, but on Core you can just go to the RvR area at any level and RvR. If you want to kill any enemy you see just level off RvR you can RvR at rank 1. On the open RvR you can kill any enemy you see anywhere but without the 'bolster' you will have to PvE first before you can be effective in RvR. Neither on e is perfect. But I will say this though I don't do PvE very much the only zones where you really might see enemy players in the same area is GvD. In other pairings I almost never see Enemy players the PvE ares are so separated from each other unless you go looking for the enemy.

I hate PvE that's why I'm choosing Core.

I found the above at WHA here: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1141815&postcount=19

Its a really good thread all about this very subject.

@Gadareth:

So there is no real PvP in the sense that you can invade other areas, you can only invade already parlayed battle grounds?


 

I think you're completely wrong. In WAR, the closest thing to controlled battlegrounds (like in WOW) is scenarios. These are instanced areas set aside for equally numbered teams to fight in/over. You gain xp for killing enemy players and renown. The corpses are lootable as always, and you gain coin for each kill. The loot comes from a loot table like PVE mobs. It is not the players gear you are taking.

Open world RVR is uncontrolled in Open servers. You can go anywhere and kill anything except if you are high level and want to gank the starter area. As of right now chicken is in effect even in open servers.

In core server, you play the game the way it was meant to be played. You can PVE in your own area without worrying about being ganked, but you also cannot gank the enemy in HIS PVE area. As in open servers, the chicken is in effect in low level RVR areas to stop high levels interfering.

I personally think the only real differance between the two server types is that in Core you have to flag yourself for rvr in your PVE zone if you want to pvp there. In Open you don't because you are always flagged.

Please don't forget that PVE areas are very small in the endgame areas (tier4)

Tier1 80% PVE 20% RVR

tier2 60% PVE 40% RVR

tier3 40% PVE 60% RVR

tier4 20% PVE 80% RVR

Yeah i agree. But, if i recall correctly they said that when WH and WE go into stealth it slowly drains their AP so they need to think fast and do it more tacticly i guess... Correct me if im wrong. 
 

Yes, stealthing uses AP but there are a lot of videos on youtube now and AP doesn't seem to limit their stealthing abilities at all.

Witch elf stealths dual wields and stuff, so I guess they are a rogue?

Witch elf and Witch hunter = rogue.

I am still upset all these months later about Mythic breaking its no stealth in WAR promises. It was such a huge about face. Still, Iwill play in open Rvr with my guildies mostly, so hopefully (being a clothie) they will keep me up long enough to whack any stealthers coming after me :)

WAR has better PvE than WoW as well :-S

I agree but only up to a point. I think the PVE in WAR supports the RvR with lore and imersion, but the PVE mobs seem too easy to kill. Maybe this is only at low levels, but so far PVE is like the solo half of WAR, while RvR is the "real" MMO part--by that I mean the RvR is the grouping/social part.

Mob AI was bugged after 3.3, what you saw on PW is not real mobs AI behavior. MJ stated that they fixed it already.

I'm not really talking about the bugged pathing. I know they fixed that and it was a bad patch that caused it. No, I mean the way mobs don't seem to help each other when you attack one nearby. A lot of them go down too easily right next to others that should attack you when you hit their buddy.

I have a small problem that maybe you/someone could help me with - no pun intended...

As far as I'm aware, I have my download area set up on a secondary partition.  When I try to d/l War from Mythic, it informs me I don't have enough space on the drive - is it trying to download it to my OS partition on the desktop?

I'm confused, any help would be appreciated.

When I ran the file called  WAR Europe Downloader.exe (downloader) it created the download folder in the same place as t downloader. So, if you put the WAR Europe Downloader.exe file on your second partition, it should download the files there not on the OS partition.

Yeah I read that on WHA this morning. Is it me, or does Mark "sound" kind of embarassed about the way Mythic's patch broke the pathing and AI? He sounded pissed in the post before this one, when he acknowledged pathing was busted.

Can't blame him really. He wanted WAR to make a great impression in PW. I think the game did a good job of it, but the problems put a dent in people's enthusiasm. Not enough to put them off, but it did put a damper on things.

The downloader stops downloading at 99% but the uploads keep going and get even faster. When mine stopped the DL at 99% I shut down the app and clicked yes to save when asked. Then went to the downloaded files and they installed perfectly.

So going by my experiance, the 99% thing is just a way to keep people's apps open for uploading to other people.
