The Public Test Server is coming, the purpose of the Public Test Server is for the players to help refine and test the latest version of the game by experiencing the changes firsthand and providing feedback and bug reports to Mythic. All features and fixes listed below are subject to change until Game Update 1.1.0 to all live servers. To access the Public Test Server, locate the new patcher: testpatch.exe in your main Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning directory. This file will be automatically downloaded when the Public Test Server is opened. Simply run the testpatch.exe file to start the patcher. Just like the live game, it will download everything automatically, just click play and you're good to go! Creating a copy of your Live character to play on the Public Test Server is easy, too. Visit your Mythic Account Center, login, and click on the Character Transfer Button above your Game Account profiles. Then, follow the instructions to the Character Transfer Center. Once you are in the Character Transfer Center you will see three options at the bottom. Select "character copy" and then fill in the information on the next page to choose the character you wish to copy. Once you have confirmed the copy you can view the status of the transfer as it is processed. Please note that you may be required to change the name of your character to avoid naming conflicts. If for any reason there is an error with your transfer, you can click on the "More Details" option to find out why the Character Copy was unsuccessful. That's all it takes to jump into the action and test the latest bleeding edge updates before they come to a server near you!
Highlights
Two New Careers - The Knight of the Blazing Sun and the Black Guard have joined their allies and are now available to play for everyone! Open RvR Influence System - As part of our ongoing effort to encourage people to take part in RvR, we are pleased to announce the release of an influence system geared solely to RvR. Players who participate in this part of WAR will now have additional incentives for fighting for their realm. As part of this patch we have also made quite a number of changes and fixes to oRvR places and NPCs as well. Easy Public Quests - PQs are great but sometimes it's hard to get enough people together to complete them, especially in the lower tiers. So, we are redesigning one PQ per chapter so that it can be completed by 1-3 people. Chat Hyperlinking - One of the most requested features by the community has been adding the ability to hyperlink items, abilities and quests in the chat window and now it has been added. Main Assist - RvR is exciting, chaotic and always challenging but this feature will make it just a little bit easier to help your group fight the good fight. Player Statue System - Nothing says "you've made it" more than having a statue with your name on it in the capital city of your realm. New Content - Whether it is new lairs, new quests and changes to items, this patch is full of lots of fun new content additions to the game. User Interface - Lots and lots of fixes, changes and new additions to our user interface and API functionality, new additions to the chat system and graphic options incorporating community requested features a channel flashing on activity, the ability to turn the chat bubbles on/off, a gamma slider and so much more. |
