The Melee DPS Survival Guide

This guide exists to help users of the Melee Damage (MDPS) archetype, which includes the White Lion, Witch Hunter, Marauder, and Witch Elf classes, gain a better understanding of how “Pick Up Groups” (PUGs), which are unorganized groups of players, function and how to be successful within one of those groups. Users will find plenty basic tips and strategies that have been successfully tested and used on the battlefield. Users will not find comprehensive mathematical breakdowns and exact strategies for each class.

A Day of Reckoning

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning offically releases today. No more confusion about the 20 different types of betas they appeared to have running, just one game. My guild Animosity has been playing on Badlands since Sunday with the CE Head Start and we are all nearly level 20 right now. Twenty more levels until we reach the PvE Rank Cap of level 40. Until I hit level 40 I probably won’t post much non-warhammer related content on here, but I should be 40 in a couple weeks. Continue reading ‘A Day of Reckoning’

Warhammer In-game Bonus Item List

With all the different types of preorders available for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, it is easy to get confused and caught up in all the hype. There are currently two different editions that you can preorder, well you can’t get the Collector’s Edition any more but whatever. There are also rewards you could have gotten from participating EA sponsored events, buying an upcoming EA game such as Red Alert 3, or participating in the Road to War.

State of Warhammer Address

Over the last month or so there has been a flurry of activity in the Warhammer Online community. From the first announcements of a first quarter 2009 launch to an all of a sudden late 3rd quarter 2008 launch, everything feels like it is being rushed a little bit. I have seen this game grow over the past few months as an Elder Beta tester and there is a lot that I would like to get off my chest about Warhammer. Like many things I have read, this too might turn out to be a little rantish, but just remember that I love Warhammer and I fully plan on buying the game, I have it preordered anyways… Continue reading ‘State of Warhammer Address’

What’s it like at Rank 1 in WAR?

In games like World of Warcraft, the only thing you can do at level 1, rank 1 in the case of Warhammer, is to go out and level, make some new friends, ect… That’s all well and good and you can do that in WAR as well but in WAR you can jump right into the exciting RvR.

The Warhammer NDA is lifted!

The Warhammer NDA has been lifted, so this post will mark the start of my beta journal for the Open Beta portion of Warhammer. The NDA has been lifted in preparation for the Preview Weekend occurring this weekend, August 22-24th. AonxeDotCom has been empty for the past week or so because I have been so busy with Warhammer, this was one of the most rigorous beta testing programs I have ever been apart of, but it was worth it to see a game come from what it used to be turn into something great.

Warhammer Online New Release Date!

Today I got an e-mail from Gamestop, where I preordered Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, and it said that Warhammer was going to be released on September 23rd of this year! This is up from the last release date the gave us of February 2009! I don’t know what’s going on but I can’t wait for the game to come out, hopefully the finish it and don’t rush out a release due to financial constraints. From my time spent in the Warhammer Beta I can say that the game is on par with World of Warcraft right now, but it still needs more balancing and polishing.

Warhammer Online Guild System Heads Up

After watching the Podcast on Living Guilds at the Warhammer Online website, I decided that I would go into the Guild system a little more than they do, and possibly even point out a few things that I have come across via my various connections that they don’t tell you in their podcast. I think I am supposed to say something about a Spoiler Alert here, but this is my blog, so whatever. Continue reading ‘Warhammer Online Guild System Heads Up’
