News from the WAR front has been a bit quiet as of a late. Most of the attention
seems to be being put on the testing on the Public Test Server and the 1.2.1
patch. Today we've got a spotlight on new screenshots again from Ashelyn,
they rock pretty hard btw, news from the Herald, and some development posts form
the War Dev
Tracker!
Here are the latest WAAAGH! news headlines from WarhammerAlliance.com:
Spotlight on: Screenshots!
News From the Herald
News from the US and EU Warhammer Online Heralds
Both the EU and US Heralds featured a write up on Squig Herders. A career that
gets passed by sometimes and not rightly so. Overall a good write up.

- Apparently there has been an issue with guilds either claiming or
releasing their claim on keeps. James Nichols tells us that CSR's cannot
assist with Standard Bearer issues so in game petitions will not help. He
anticipates that these issues should be resolved by the time 1.2.1 goes
live, which is soon.

- James Nichols also addressed cleave
and other undefendable attacks. He says they have a fix and should be out by
the time 1.3 is on the servers. Not quite sure what that is at this time.

- Adam Gershowitz acknowledged that the AoE radius and such is still bugged
on test as well as on live.

extra range this really is you can easily grab any character turn
on auto attack and then back up (from a stationary monster /
character) until you cannot auto attack anymore. This is
essentially 0 feet range, b/c auto attack has no range on it.
We're continuing to watch how this effects RvR and the player
response to the issue and will likely make an adjustment to AoE
radius in the patch after 1.2.1 as part of our ongoing steps to
work AoE into a useful but managable role.

- Although not WAR related, I wanted to say farewell to Dave
Areneson. The co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons lost his battle to
cancer yesterday at the age of 61. Both him and Gary Gygax who predeceased
him last year in March have made much of what a RPG is today, in both pencil
and paper as well as video games. He will be missed.
