The WAR Dev team will be hosting a mass playtest tomorrow night, 11/11/2009, starting at 8:00 PM EST on the Public Test Server, Warpstone. We will be testing the newly reduced city siege timers and the values associated with advancing the city into stage two.

As has been the case with previous mass playtests, some lucky players will win either an Enslaved Manticore or Imperial Griffon mount! So come on out and join in the fun.

We'll see you on the PTS!

WAAAGH!

Dev Diary - John Cox (Combating Hackers)

]]> Well the topic of this developer diary is a naughty word—the H word—H
****** - er… hacking.  It’s something we at Mythic don’t often talk
about openly, but we do take very seriously.  It’s a very interesting
subject that I’d love to talk in-depth about; it has many challenges
and curiosities that make for an interesting discussion.  I get a sense
of joy when I know we’ve ruined a hacker’s day. Unfortunately,
“fighting the good fight” is very cloak-and-daggers stuff, going back
and forth, with the hackers and cheaters—so, to talk about it in great
detail also gives information to the very people we’re attempting to
thwart.  Here’s my best shot at showing you a glimpse behind the
curtain about how we handle hacking and cheaters without giving away
too many of our secrets!

"AP should be a pool, not an ocean." - Gett of Dark Crag

Action Points are something that effects everyone who plays WAR. Healers, Damage Dealers and Tanks all use Action Points, so it is only natural that when something changes about the way the system works, there is going to be concern, discussion and possibly confusion.

To help better explain what's going on with the current state of Action Points in WAR, the Community team reached out to the Combat & Careers Team Lead, Nate Levy, for insight into the recent bug fixes affecting AP Regeneration.

It’s been one week too long for me pulling together this letter.  The team has been pounding away at making sure our upcoming 1.3.2 patch is not only full of great features and improvements, but is set up to be one of our smoothest version deployments to live yet.  By now you should have had a chance to check out the 1.3.2 patch notes for our Public Test Server.  If not, check them out here.  I’ll still be here when you get back!
