Warhammer Patch 1.3.5 Lives Now

Good news for you. Warhammer Patch 1.3.5 is live today. Servers are currently down for the deployment of the patch which includes an entirely revamped City Siege system to be 100% RvR, resulting in a 24 vs. 24 battle which will last no longer than 2 hours.

The update also brings myriad item changes to the game, including dye improvements, the relaxing of class restrictions on certain types of armors, improvements to quest tracking on the mini-map with the introduction of the "Mini-Map Edge Tracker" feature, a new "Combat Highlighting" feature to improve player awareness in battle, a number of inventory tweaks, and much more.

The streets will run red with the blood of the fallen...

To celebrate the launch of 1.3.5 we will be enabling server wide Experience and Renown bonuses on all North American servers in lieu of a Warfront this weekend. So get out there and enjoy all of the exciting new features that 1.3.5 has to offer!

Highlights from 1.3.5 include:

City RvR Improvements

The city RvR experience has been greatly enhanced to create a much more satisfying RvR endgame. Everything in the new City Siege experience is 100% RvR driven! The City Siege has been divided into three stages:

Invaders!: The goal for the attackers is to destroy the Palace Door within the time allotted. This is accomplished by capturing a series of chained objectives around the city and destroying the Palace Door.

Warlords!: The goal for either side during this stage is to escort a friendly Warlord to the other side's entrance while at the same time preventing the enemy Warlord from reaching your own gates!

Kings!: The Final showdown between the Kings and their chosen champions! When the stage begins the Kings will call forth all of their combatants for a final rally to battle. During this preparation time, the King will explain the situation and call upon four players to serve as his champions in the battle to come.


Item Improvements

Career restrictions on many equipment drops have been eliminated (i.e. if a heavy armor piece drops and you can wear heavy armor, then you can use it.) The look of dyed items has also been greatly improved.

Combat Highlighting

To provide better feedback during combat in the playable game space we've added a new method of lighting characters when they are healed or damaged. At its default settings whenever your own player takes damage they will flash red briefly, a critical hit will flash a stronger red. Receive a heal from someone and your character will flash green briefly. Likewise any targets you damage or heal will flash in a similar manner. This feature can be enabled just on yourself, others or turned off completely in User Settings on the General Tab.

Inventory Space Changes

To help players carry around their belongings, we've changed how inventory space is acquired as well as added new vault space to fill up! Backpack pouches can now be purchased at any time instead of waiting for them to be unlocked every 10 ranks. Additionally, we've added two more tabs of vault space, which can be purchased 1 row at a time for a total of an additional 160 vault inventory spaces. Guild vaults have also been expanded with another tab, which is purchasable 1 row at a time for a total of an additional 60 guild vault inventory spaces.

AFK Changes

To combat AFK players in scenarios and contested cities we've made some adjustments to how AFK is handled in these areas. Now in addition to the existing Idle Hands system if a player anywhere inside of a scenario or contested city idles for more than 2 minutes they will be flagged as AFK and given the Idle Hands debuff. Once flagged AFK and given Idle Hands the player will no longer receive rewards and after 60 seconds if the player does not return from AFK they will be removed from the scenario or contested city.

Mini-Map Edge Tracker

Edge Tracker - To help navigate around the world we've added a new Edge Tracker to the mini-map. When your party members are out of range, their mini-map icons will stick to the edge of the mini-map to indicate which direction they are in. Scenarios, Open RvR and Contested Cities objectives keeps and important monsters will be represented by icons on the edge of the mini-map as well. Mousing over any of these tooltips while they're on the edge of the mini-map will also display the approximate range to the edge point. You can also filter what items are tracked by bringing down the Map Filters option box and unselecting the items you don't wish edge tracked. Part of the Edge Tracker is a new border around the mini-map when you are tracking anything, if you wish to use the Edge Tracker with the old mini-map border check the "Old Minimap Border" option on the General tab in User Settings.

Land of the Dead ??Tomb of the Vulture Lord Changes



The Land of the Dead, specifically the encounters leading into and inside of the Tomb of the Vulture Lord have received some attention with this patch. To start with, the purge mechanic for the Tomb of the Vulture Lord has been changed to better reflect its intended purpose. Purges can now only be initiated by an appropriate force from an enemy realm and requires direct conflict to trigger. As well, there have been a number of changes and fixes to Boss Seven within the Tomb of the Vulture Lord.
