Reporting Spammers 101

To properly report someone soliciting the sale of in-game gold or services in exchange for real world currency, please use our new category designed specifically to address this violation in the Appeal Interface. The category is entitled GOLD/PL SALES, and is a stand-alone category. You will not find this under the Violation category itself.

Some things to note about how to appeal this violation properly:

      Make sure you place the player’s exact name in the first window, which asks for the player name.

      Place the text the player sent you in the second window, which asks for details about what was sent. Also note if this solicitation came in the form of in-game chat (any channel), or through the mail system.

       Please make sure you submit one appeal per solicitor. Do not try to place multiple names into the first box, as the appeal will fail.

This system was specifically designed to further streamline our process in actioning these solicitors. Using any mod that does not use this system will be counter-productive to our cause, and should not be used. Any violation report of this nature that does not use this new system will receive a response asking you to use the system above. Please make sure you only place solicitation reports into the new GOLD/PL SALES category, and not any other violation category such as General, Harassment, etc.

Your cooperation will only ensure that we are able to continue to handle these reports in the most efficient manner possible.

Thank you!

Have a great weekend and see you in game...

WAAAGH!!!

Hot Fixes for October 3rd, 2008

Greetings!

In our continuing efforts to make Warhammer Online an enjoyable experience for our players we have implemented the following hotfixes:


Art and Animations

  • Bats will now flap their wings properly.
  • Tweaks have been made to improve the animations of the Hydra.
  • Female Dark Elves will no longer appear to have distorted faces when in a sitting position.
  • Improvements have been made to the appearance of clothing and armor on many NPC's. These improvements were made to resolve clipping issues.
  • The High Elf and Dark Elf /special emotes have been adjusted so that all held weapons are sheathed first.
  • Animation of the Squig Herder ability Plink has been improved so that the arc of the arrow's flight better matches the animation.
  • Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause a monster or NPC to hold a weapon improperly (i.e.; holding a pistol as if it were a sword).
  • Fixed an issue that would display newly-created Bright Wizards in the wrong animation state.

 

Capital Cities

  • The naked Dwarfs occasionally spotted roaming the streets of Altdorf have been asked to don clothes, and have done so.

 

Content

  • We have fixed a bug with the damage output of monsters in Tier 4+ dungeons.
  • Corrected an issue that was preventing players from completing the "Neborhest's Vanguard" public quest.
  • Fixed an issue in the public quest "Deathstone Quarry" that would, in rare instances, cause Arkus the Changer to become unkillable.
  • The Bastion Stair boss monster Lord Slaurith will now spawn properly.

 

Items

  • Fixed an issue with some Collector's Edition reward items that was causing their buffs to expire prematurely.
  • We have identified a few items that had the wrong slot assigned to them. These items have been fixed.

 

RvR

  • Some of the monsters and doors in the RvR fortresses were found to have improper behaviors and settings, making them less challenging than originally intended. These issues have been corrected, and RvR fortresses should now provide a more appropriate level of challenge to players.

Update - Scenario Performance Improvements

WAAAGH!!!

It's been an exciting few days here at the Studio as we rolled out 1.01 and added many new hotfixes in addition to the update.

One of our primary focuses with 1.01 was to improve performance in Scenarios. Thanks to your feedback it looks like we hit our mark and Scenarios are now running smoother than ever, especially on high population servers.

Your performance in game is still our top priority and we'll continue to listen to your feedback and address your concerns until as many people as possible can enjoy the glory of WAR.

We've got some great stuff in the works that we can't wait to share with you.

Keep the feedback coming and we'll see you on the battlefield...WAAAGH!!!
