Warhammer Online / Hurray!

« on: October 23, 2008, 12:23:06 AM »

Order is getting up to speed. Today all T3 keeps were in order hands at some point!

Too bad only 5 guildies or so participated. I got quite some renown, grabbing BOs and defending. It seems defending a keep not only gives renown in the normal way (killing players, healing) but you also get 100 renown now and then, maybe every 5 mins or so (10??). Should time it to be sure.
All in all it was good fun, with easy and hard keep grabs and defenses, open RvR.
I think not every keep is as easy to take/defend as the other. IMO Avelorn keep is hardest to attack with defenders' siege engines having a good range over the area in front of the gate. 6 pads that cover most of this area. This is much better than BFP for instance, where only 2 pads have a good LOS at the area in front of the gate. 2 are mediochre (or how do you spell that?) and 2 are practically useless.

Another issue that I noticed: a lot of ppl (in general, dont know about guild) have no clue what siege engines to use or even that they can repair them! 

So, just to make sure:
- single fire siege engines (cannons, normal balistas) in offense
- AoE siege engines (hellblasters, organ cannons, repeater ballistas) in defense
- when you are the one that builds a ram, dont forget that you are the one that has to start the swing, it wont work without you doing that
- when manning a ram, it is better to aim at 95-97% than to aim at 100%, saw way to many 50%s today...

Warhammer Online / Tome Tactics

« on: October 16, 2008, 09:48:22 AM »

Been looking at the tome tactics (http://www.wardb.com/search.aspx?browse=6.3.20#spells:50+6) and noticed they only apply to monsters, not players. This means they are only useful in PVE. Aaaand of course in getting keeps. So greenskin, chaos and darkelf tactics would be worth the most.
The others are just nice because they're shineeeeyyy

Join Us / Warcold

« on: September 23, 2008, 08:03:36 AM »

Although I was already invited in the guild yesterday, I thought I'd introduce myself anyway, so here goes:

RL name:
Pieter

Characters & Classes:
ATM I have created 5 chars, with the BW (Sintel) having highest rank (11), but I doubt this will become my main. I want to try some chars first to decide which one will be the one I really go for.
Other chars are DE, IB, WH & AM

Age:
30

Location:
Leiden, Holland

Timezone:
GMT+2/3

Gaming Style:
I try to play as much as I can, so far RL (and especially GF  ) let me. But I just like games, so I push it to the limit here... well, maybe a bit lower than the limit...

About you:
After quiting my study of Archaeology I have worked fulltime for 6 years. Two years ago though, I decided to go back to college and started studying Psychology, which I still do and still like.
My bookcase has quite some fantasy in it, mostly Dragonlance novels. The rest is a mash of studybooks, literature, books about and from history and cookingbooks.
My cd-collection goes from Jazz to Dance and Madonna to Sepultura, so what does that tell about me? Exactly: I just don't know who I am!       
I had a modest Warhammer army of Woodelves once, but most of it is still at the guy where I used to play it, which I havent seen for > 5 years. So that's a past station I guess. What I still do now and then is roleplaying, mostly D&D, which I play with Gunnarr (among others) now and then.
PC-gaming: apart from RPG-games (BG, NWN, Diablo, and a tad bit of WoW) I like to shove a FPS in my pc now and then. Also spend quite some hours on Starcraft and other RTS's on the network I had when I still lived in a dorm.
I already introduced my GF earlier, the picture gets complete by mentioning our two cats.
