For you Order folks on Averheim, Altdorf just hit Rank 2. Guild Hall is now open and so is the Warpblade Tunnels instance (for level 40s).

So today my guild tried Mount Gunbad for reals and I've gotta eat some crow. I said the dungeon aesthetic (based on my impressions of the very first PQ on one of the wings) and when I really went down the other wings tonight, my opinion completely changed:
I find the look and placement of goblin houses and shit pretty appealing, personally.
Some more info on how the Realm Instanced Dungeons work (like Mount Gunbad). Basically, as you travel down each wing, you do a PQ that basically revolves around you killing the trash mobs and eventually spawning a boss, that is essentially a mini boss. You kill the boss, do the PQ loot roll thing, then continue down the wing which begins another PQ with a different boss, etc. Basically, take the standard instanced dungeon design and add the PQ stuff leading up and including each little mini boss. Then, at the end, there's another instance portal. The instance portal leads to the big bad wing boss and you can only take a 6 man in there, and each person in that 6 man must have the proper amount of influence (1 bar, 2 bars, max influence) to get into that specific wing. Didn't get to check out any of the wing bosses because we didn't really have any DPS that was of a high enough level to make a serious effort at it.
I find it pretttty awesome. Also, all the quests for Mount Gunbad (besides the quests that tell you HEY GO TO GUNBAD) are inside the dungeon, right at the beginning. There's at least like 13-14 of them, and they all give some pretty nice xp, 6-10+ k.
I still don't think PvE will be too much of a factor at the end game, but Mythic's definitely got some really great PvE ideas here.

Really isnt an official one but a few are in Lords of Destruction...Adent said:
PM Hartsock .. I won't be online until sometime tomorrow evening.
Is there any point to me joining the official GAF guild? Are people still playing? If not, any other people with a moderately established guild want to take on a newby (WoW vet).
I'm having a bit of trouble locating quest objectives. Well first off, the quest icons on the map for accepted quests and available quests are too close in color (I'm color blind, and it's sometimes hard to tell which one the icon is without a point of reference). Second, I was under the impression the map showed you where to go for quests...but I don't see any icons pointing to quest objectives. I hovered over an area of the map and it indicated the objective progress, but there was nothing visible on the map to indicate that I should look there. Am I missing something?

May be your color blindless effecting it but on maps when a quest objective is to be done in an area.. it will red bubble an area on the map for you to go too and collect kills or waht not.. then if you complete it the return person area will be red bubbled as well..TheExodu5 said:

Impressions:
I have a lvl 9 Rune Priest and a lvl 9 Sorcerer. I pretty much just constantly que for scenarios while hunting or questing inbetween. The Khaine's embrace scenario generally works well except there seems to be a small balance issue.
Khaine's embrace pugs consist of 95% elves/dark elves, and the elf race classes seem more well-rounded than dark elf. Dark elves have a ranged DPS, melee DPS and a melee DPS/healer. elves have a healer, ranged DPS, Tank, and melee DPS. When you look at what classes are actually popular, most pugs are about half sorcerers and half witch elves, so no tanks and no healers. This makes it very difficult for dark elves. We can fight decently enough, but when it comes to territory, we can't be aggressive or anthing. A team of sorcerers and witch elves only do well if they stay back and take pot shots. We can't take flags and so we can't win scenarios, even though from a strict combat perspective the two races are pretty even.

Last night I spent the night getting some influence in the chapter 7 PQ in barak vaar (?) and watching the Brewers game. After killing about 200 raiders and taking down the warrior I finally completely filled the influence meter right about the time Ryan Braun hit a grand slam to win the game. It was so f'ing awesome.
Anyway, I flew home to Milwaukee this morning (about 3.5 hours after turning the game off last night) to watch the final series and I gotta say, I am missing Warhammer a lot, which is about as ringing an endorsement as I can give a game. I haven't even gotten to kill anyone with my dope ass hammer yet, damn it!

I've spent 5 points in the Path of Valaya (playing a rp) but I didn't get the master rune of speed. Am I doing something wrong?

Yeah I had a slight sense of some red bubbling, but it's not overly apparent to me. Red doesn't stick out as much as other colors for me. I wonder if a user mod out there fixes this. The problem was mainly that it was red bubbling on a green background (since I'm red/green colorblind, similar shades don't really stand out from one another).

Just saw your post, so I'll keep an eye out for you in game, and feel free to send a tell to any of us.

Um... you do realize that everyone who is on Destruction (Please don't call it Chaos.. we aren't 1 freaking race here..) has already rolled their servers so no one is going to just stop and jump aboard this idea.Adent said:

Some guy said Skull Throne for Destruction.. a few went but not many.. it wasn't really 'official' for anything on destruction side. More people on GAF wanted to roll Order.Adent said:
I think Mythic has been pretty confident that the class gaps in the races will be filled, whether or not it's with the old ones being brought back. I think there's a good chance we'll see the Knight of the Blazing Sun and the Blackguard brought back, since they're mirrors of existing classes and also pretty cool, IIRC they were removed just due to not being finished. Hammerers and Choppas, on the other hand, were removed because they were boring. I think they'll probably be replaced with different MDPS classes.

How does this run on older systems? For example I can run WoW at med settings and get around 40-60fps. I'm itching to play this.
Really enjoying my Zealot now, with some better gear and the +25% damage tactic I can actually kill stuff in a reasonable amount of time. Got to love it when about seven people try and kill a tank and I'm just sitting there spamming heals on him for like five minutes.
Ikuu said:
Yeah I don't get that in RvR. I was playing a scenario last night where there was a group of 6 Destruction guys trying to kill a Swordmaster, there were 3 healers keeping him up and 3 ranged slowly picking off one of them at a time.
I mean, I get when that happens in PvE, but generally tanks are the last thing I try to kill.:lol
I am about to destroy my computer. I am seriously getting sick of the game just dropping to desktop seemingly at random right in the middle of a scenario, or PQ, or huge keep battle. Not to mention the countless times it's done it when nothing important is going on. But at least then I can hop right back in. OH WAIT, NO I CAN'T, because it just crashed twice in a row in the exact same manner at the character select screen.
Mother shit.

On a happier note: Tier 3 keeps are HUGE what the hell. Can't wait to see Tier 4. D:

Speaking of performance issues. I was getting slideshow performance in scenarios and other RVR quests with a lot of people in it. Like 2 second hitches here and there, and 10fps gameplay thereafter. My system is pretty beefy and shouldn't have a problem with this game.
Come to find out, the game automatically uses 16x AF filter, and that is what was causing the problem. So if any of you are having similar issues, go into your display driver control panel (Nvidia Control Panel or ATI catalyst control) and override application settings and set the AF lower or disable it all together. You'll see 60+ FPS gains.

Can you post a pic of what you did? I have almost everything forced off on my driver settings with the Nvidia control panel. I have a good system it's decent but I have everything on fucking low in game and I had to lower the resolution from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 and I still get shitty ass lag.
I have 2.8 Dual core cpu Pentium D, 3 gigs of ram running at 667mhz, and a 8600gts with 512 of Vram. I am running the latest drivers from nvidia and like I said I have everything forced off in the control panel and everything set to fastest frame rate in game. Yet I still get a fucking slide show in scenarios and open rvr. The lowering of the resolution helped a bit and I think the problem is the graphics card it's self that is why I am thinking of buy the Nvidia 260gtx.

Where do I send my check sir? This recommendation is gold.
I am getting a patch error. It is telling me to try again later.

On the username/password window check the box "full system check" and try again.
