[war] Guild Name Poll

[jimf]

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

Just curiuos, where in the interface do you see your ping? I havn't noticed it =P

It just felt more responsive than wow so far =P

[Wolfie]

There isnt a ping count in game that i have seen, i'm using the age-old approach of using the command promt. if you check out the Warhammer Alliance forums in the Oceanic server subforum there is a thread there that tells you what the Ip addresses are, and yes, it feels a lot more responsive than WoW, performs better, no network lag that i have noticed - my only real complaint so far is i have random client crashes - annoying but not the end of the world

I should be on tonight, and will be rolling a Sword Master. (The more I read about this the more I think that this is the class I have been looking for).

Just for the record is everyone still playing on Darklands?

[Sabum]

Mweh...... keep getting CRITICAL ERROR, authentication falied.... alot of people have gotten that error and no fix that I can see.

I forget which server Im on, Iornclaw or Darklands, I'll check if I get back in game.

[Wolfie]

Yeah i have characters on both Ironclaw and Darklands, altho i play Darklands more.

I'm on Darklands - however I just left town for a few days, so I won't be online until late this week.

[Wolfie]

Servers are down for a couple of hours - back around 9/9:30ish

[quiksilva]

No problem I'm still patching! That's 1.1Gb of patching since last night so I have at least another 220Mb to go, so I should be on tomorrow night

[quiksilva]

Ok its done I rolled a swordmaster on darklands see you tonight

[Wolfie]

Hada small problem with my PC last night - word to the wise, dont accidently delete the my documents folder, Vista doesnt like it...

So after a fresh rebuild, im back... just need to install all the third party drivers and i will be available to play again

[dekka007]

Anyone else currently downloading from Fileplanet. The speeds are a joke getting 5kb/sec! been like this for 2 days and tried 3 different ISP's in BKK all the same result.

so frustrating at 9gb out of 9.34gb and looks like it will take another 14 hours for the last 340mb...and thats even with a fileplanet subscription!

[quiksilva]

Yup that's what happened to me mate it was terribly slow. Wolfie was kind enough to burn the client to dvd which I then borrowed from him. I'd be happy to copy the disks for you if you like, as I have to pass the originals on to another forum member.

[dekka007]

Thanks for the offer...fingers crossed should be done by the morning... :s at the rate its going.

Managed to get the first 8gb downloaded in korea this week at 2000kb/sec. back to amazing thailand at 3kb/sec.....figures.

Edited September 9, 2008 by dekka007

[quiksilva]

Okay cool, note though that you might well have to patch another 1.3gb once you have got the client installed.

[dekka007]

really..thought the patch was 189mb

[quiksilva]

After I installed Wolfie's client, I had to apply two patches. The first was 995mb and the second was 246mb.

How much was the game at i27 and how do you pay for the monthly access (US/Thai credit card or game cards)?

[Wolfie]

How much was the game at i27 and how do you pay for the monthly access (US/Thai credit card or game cards)?

The Collectors Edition Pre-Order (the only one he sells right now) was 3500b - You get to play now with the Open Beta account and the game offically releases later this month (around the 22nd)

If you hang on until the end of September, he will probably get some standard edition copies that will be cheaper, but obviously you will have to wait until then.

I'm guessing the monthly subs will be $15-20 and they will accept Credit cards, I've always used my Thai card in the past and never had a problem with payments.

[freitag1]

I played now some PvP with my gf and I don't think she will be a decent healer for the guild (PvP is just too chaotic for her) so if anyone wants to jump in and do the Rune priest go ahead!

The subscription price is 14.99 USD btw and game cards are available as well.

Edited September 9, 2008 by freitag1

[Wolfie]

I can fill the void, i think im headed towards Archmage as my main...

But yes, Healing is far too chaotic, in random PvP/RvR ive pretty much forgotten about healing, unless its self healing so far

Will need to practice group healing, so we will need to get together a lot once it hits retail and learn how to kick ass as a team!

Edited September 9, 2008 by Wolfie

[Gluestick]

I think I might be joining you guys once I can get my hands on a copy. That'll probably be this weekend cuz i27 is too far away for a quick run.

[freitag1]

Absolutely

I think it will be a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure now I play a Bright Wizard though because my gf can just focus on healing me and assisting wherever she can. While I was a White Lion she lost me a couple of times so I guess I have more fun staying back behind the front line and nuking together with her. Having a healer as a Bright Wizard is also pretty nice because of the combustion mechanic, whenever I hurt myself with my spells she can just put a HoT on me and I will be fine.

I guess now we lack some melee / tank classes. But even if we do we should be fine as there are usually other players around. Waaaagh!

For those who are still undecided check the class guides: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/fo...splay.php?f=210 and the individual class forums: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/fo...isplay.php?f=21

[dekka007]

bought my key from offgamers.net for the release version. Very reliable and only $49.99.

[Sabum]

Im pretty upset, I have the "Critical Error - Authentication failed" problem and can only log in 10% of the time if I'm lucky. I googled and tons of people have the same problem, I can play sometimes but most of the time I cant, I bought the CE to play now... very frustrated. So far I like the Shadow Warrior but will try some other classes if they fix this problem.

I get that sometimes, its a comms problem, look at the system.txt file in the Log folder.

I find that rebooting the PC and router sometimes helps with that, but yeah i know its very frustrating!

[Gluestick]

@dekka007: Do you get the game discs from them as well or just a CD key?

[quiksilva]

Yup that happened to me I just kept trying and eventually I got in. For some reason i couldnt play on darklands tonight even though the server status on the main website said it was fine. It just wouldnt let me log on so i ended rolling on another server. I had a blast just played a few hours and got to lvl 4 - Im pretty happy with SM so far just what I fancied.

[freitag1]

For the authentication failed error go to the eamythic account website and change your password for all accounts. This does help for whatever reason. I still get it sometimes but less frequent now.

It also helps to wait 2-3 minutes before you retry it. Quicksilva, check the warhammer herald. The servers were down for maintenance today, the realm status page is unreliable and shows them even online if they are not.

[dekka007]

@dekka007: Do you get the game discs from them as well or just a CD key?

You just get the key on day of release. So you will have to download the client and patch it to the release version. No discs. But a fair saving over the instore thailand price for the game and quicker delivery.

[Gluestick]

If you get the key on the day of release does that mean you don't get all the pre-order stuff as well as the headstart?

I just called i27 and they said they don't have the game yet. What i27 store has the game already?
