Here's the official
Warhammer Alliance News Update:
Warhammer Alliance News
The latest happenings from your favorite WAR fansite!
Hotplate: Last night our very own PhoenixRed pondered developer silence.
He posits that Mythic’s silence regarding exploits of the game is breaking
trust. Do you trust your results in oRVR? Be sure to check it out and add your
views to this important subject.
Bloggers Got Mail: Tome of Knowledge is the first to report having
received a goodie package from Mythic. Pay attention to this post, folks. Do a
bit of detective work and you could win a fabulous in game item. Be sure to
check ToK
for all the photos, including the diary entry (which will help unlock clues
for navigating the LotD). Many thanks to Tome of Knowledge for sharing the
goods!
Community Poll: What are you most looking forward to about Land of the
Dead? Let us know in the Community Poll.
Tome Unlock Tuesdays: Who said anything about HNT? Here are some great
Tome unlocks you can get for doing things in your WAR skivvies!
News From The Herald
News from the Herald compiles Herald posts from the day.
Rise of the Tomb King’s Blog Challenge: As mentioned above, Mythic is
giving away exclusive in-game items through an online puzzle. Over the next
three weeks, various blogs will receive different decoder fragments. Put
together, these fragments will form a “Rosetta Stone” of sorts, allowing you
to translate the hieroglyphs of five (5) Tomb King Cartouches. Translate a
Cartouche and you’ll have a code to unlock a unique Scarab Amulet reward.
You’ll have to be quick, though, as each Cartouche only has 1,000 Scarab
Amulets. That means a total of 5,000 Amulets in all. This contest is for North
America. EU players have their own contest, and details will soon follow on
www.war-europe.com.
Unfortunately, this program isn’t available to our Russian WARmates.
May 2009 Newsletter Correction: As many of you probably noted, the May
Newsletter arrived full of cheery news about the upcoming 1.3 patch. Thing is,
the newsletter was drafted before Mythic decided to postpone “most of the
Combat and Career changes in Patch 1.3.” Yes, they did say “most,” not “all.”
More on that later.
PTS Event & Exclusive In-game Item: The Tomb of the Vulture Lord is now
open in Phase III of PTS! The WAR begins Tuesday the 9th and Wednesday the
10th at 7 PM. Testing will be open all week, but anyone who logs on and
participates the next two nights between 7 PM EDT and 12:00 AM EDT will be
awarded the Shroud of Imrathepis. What is the Shroud of Imrathepis? Why, it
consists of:
"Linens taken from the burial shroud of Prince Imrathepis. Those who wrap
the burial shroud about their body are protected from harm regenerating
minor wounds and injuries.”
Daily Devs
Daily Devs compiles all the important Dev Tracker posts from the day.
What Changes: Andy Belford let us know that crafting changes are still in
place for Patch 1.3. He also teased that “We should have some updated patch
notes later today for everyone to peruse.” As of this posting, those notes
have not been posted, but do keep your eyes peeled!
Blog Challenge FAQ: James has posted a helpful FAQ for the blog challenge.
The Scrab Amulet doesn’t have any stats. It is just for funsies. They won’t
tell us which blogs get hieroglyphic clues.
