[war] Guild Name Poll

[Wolfie]

Umm, I'm not able to patch right now, just get the log on screen (small box) then it goes to a patching screen, does nothing for a few seconds then drops back to the log on box...

[freitag1]

They might enable this only for the preview client if its different to the ob client. No idea. Some discussion about this is going on here: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/sh...d.php?p=1346442

Servers are up and running. Does your mythic account say preview weekend?

[Sabum]

Im in, had to join the Todd(whatever) sever since they wouldnt let me in the oceanic, so far its really laggy.

[Wolfie]

Under account manager (the web page) it only says Open Beta and Email Validation - under the features tab.

If i fire up the shortcut it placed on my desktop, i get a Mythic Log on screen, Enter the username/password and it goes to a Warhammer patch screen (version 1.0.2.17) and then drops back to the log on screen, if i do this three times under the same session it gives me a dialog box that talks about validation failed and forgotten passwords. I used the same username/password for the master account and game account... I saw that thread so i hope its just a 'preview weekend' thing that i havent got

//Edit: doesnt matter - was having a blonde day!

I entered all three codes and i got the preview weekend thing, its now patching Before i only entered the Open Beta code to my account

Ah nice man

I'm Siamorder (wanted to try the name) on Ironclaw (Oceanic Server) White Lion. Sabum the pop is low there you can join as well.

[Sabum]

[quiksilva]

[Sabum]

I got the game downloaded in time just to miss the first preview weekend. Frietag, Im sending you tells but you aint answering.

[Sabum]

[freitag1]

Ventrilo server is

V49.DARKSTARLLC.COM

port: 5167

No idea how to use it but its a 10 man server in Singapore. I just download the Ventrillo client

The password is: siamorder

[Sabum]

unable to resolve hostname, is that the name?

[freitag1]

Yes, exactly like it is written. I can connect right now.

[Wolfie]

I'm in game now - character name "Wolfie"

Altho i think the servers just crashed

/Edit: Servers down for emergency maintenance. Back in 2hrs

note that offgamers.net are selling the open beta codes for $19.99 (Ingame items) and also the release key on the 18th day of release for $49.99 if u can live without the box this might be the cheapest option in Thailand to get the game on the day of release.

Ironclaw... s_cks. Way too low population even now. I just reroll a swordmaster on Darklands. Yesterday Darklands was not online yet but at least the pop is decent there. I would suggest that we continue rolling on Ironclaw when the Beta people come tomorrow evening. Then we will have lots of people there.

On Darklands I'm Shaggles right now. Does Vent work for you guys now?

[Sabum]

Im on now as Doomfire. 3:30pm

[Sabum]

Wolfie, we are on Darklands, Im Gogoboy and Frietag is Shaggles

[jimf]

Wolfie, we are on Darklands, Im Gogoboy and Frietag is Shaggles

I think im on Darklands also (one of the oceanics right?) - my character is Keros

K - im definatly on darklands - I'm an empire character... ill see if i can catch you guys in the vent you posted, nobody in there right now =)

[freitag1]

I was just watching my gf playing with her rune priest. The dwarf starting area rocks.

Lets see if our chars get wiped, the ob starts tomorrow morning east us time. I will roll my WL on darklands.

[Wolfie]

After playing two chars yesterday (Ironbreaker & Archmage) i'm undecided on what i'm going to play, The Archmage kicks out a consistent stream of moderate damage and now i've turned lvl8 ive got some direct heals as well as HoT's - I'm thinking for RvR this combination will be awesome.

The Iron breaker is solid, but lacks any damage (its a tank class, makes sense!) Put a competent healer behind him and he just wont die. No real taunting ability yet, so controlling aggro was uncomfortable. Hopefully that will change as the levels come.

I will try some other characters, Rune Priest sounds like a good solid healer, and i want to give some of the DPS classes a try also.

My first impressions of the game are its fluid and its fun. Couple of bugs and a couple of niggling client crashes, but as a Preview Weekend build its good.

Hi guys, just to check in, I will be playing on the US servers too - interesting to see there might be a Thai based guild. Would be great to have other people to play with on our time zone. Will be checking back to see where you go. I preordered from Amazon US - no idea if the **** thing is going to get here in time for launch let alone the head start.

[freitag1]

Hi Singha, we will most likely play on the Australian server. The time difference is not as big and our pings are better.

I have min pre-ordered on Amazon as well - ive ordered lots of stuff from them and they usually get here in a as quick as 5 days... but sometiems as late as three weeks =P .. but by far the average is about 5 buisness days with my experiance.

[Sabum]

Characters didnt get wiped, Im on now at midnight, Gogoboy on Darklands, so far Im really liking the Shadow Warrior and the Bright Wizard. Singha you should join us on the Oceanic server. Dont your preorders come with beta access? If so you should be able to download the game client and start playing after download.

Realm versus realm is the bomb by the way, the player wars rock and the reward system is very good, im rank 9 with rank 6 reknown.

I'm lucky, I've been in the closed beta for quite some time now. Thank God they sorted out the connection problems. At one point their logon servers would kick out high latency connections during handshaking. I'll come on over tonight and roll a Runey - they've been my favorites so far (Order side) - btw my toon name is always Haemorrage.

[freitag1]

My favorite classes so far are: White Lion (but might not be my main anymore) and Rune Priests are awesome (my gf plays one and I tried it a bit and its just so much fun)

Tomorrow I will try a Bright Wizard. I somehow have the feeling for our high latency connections ranged classes just work better... while I played some WL today I often thought I hit the guy but didn't.

Are you guys really having bad latency? I thought the oceanic was actually quite good.. of course, I'm used to wow with 700+ ping on average =P

Keros is a bright wizzard, i think ill keep it that way, i was a fire mage on wow, its just my thing =P

[Wolfie]

I'm getting about 250ms to the servers from bangkok, an improvement but not hte <100ms pings the Aussies are getting
