Warhammer Online News

Looks like Mythic is relentless with fixing things and adding new stuff to Warhammer Online. Only yesterday we read about the game update 1.0.2, and there’s another batch of fixes already. There’s a couple of bug fixes, one RvR related change and a few changes to crafting — you can read all about it below:

General changes and bug fixes

• Guild Recall Scrolls have been fixed so they can be purchased and used correctly by guild members of a Guild Rank 17 Guild.  This fixes an issue where the scrolls were potentially being purchased ahead of time and could not be used until Guild Rank 17.
• Addressed an issue which was causing the servers to crash.
• Fixed an issue in which graphics settings sometimes did not save properly.

RvR

• Players will no longer erroneously receive the “Bolster” buff when entering the Destruction war camp in the Chaos Wastes.

Crafting

• One of the things we’ve been hearing from players is that our Talisman making system was a bit more time-consuming than we wanted it to be.  So, in an effort to make Talisman making more accessible to lower/mid-range crafters, our Items team changed Gold Essence (originally a product of Apothecary) to Gold Dust and added Gold Dust to crafting merchants to eliminate the need for a third crafter to level their skills. Unfortunately, this change was released slightly ahead of schedule and Gold Dust had no sell price. Rather than change everybody’s character, we  decided to leave the change live. However, in order to avoid an impact on our economy, we have made it so that Gold Dust, that had been purchased prior to server restart cannot be sold but it can still be used. This item can still be traded. So, since Gold Dust could previously be bought for no cost, well, you haven’t lost anything.

 

• • Players who previously had Gold Essence will notice that it has been converted to Gold Dust, which can be used in all recipes that previously required Gold Essence.
  • As a result of this change, Goldweed, which had previously been an ingredient used to create gold dust, has now been converted to a stabilizer for Apothecary. This is a boon to Cultivators, who could not previously create a stabilizer and it will help make tie Cultivation and Apothecary more tightly together.

There is also an issue with UI mods crashing the game:

As always we want the WAR experience to be as enjoyable as possible. We have identified that some UI Mods may be causing issues with the 1.0.2 update.  If you are experiencing crash to desktop (CTD) issues when trying to launch the game, we suggest you disable or remove all of your UI Mods.  If this resolves the issue for you, then you should update or remove any mods that are not 1.0.2 compliant.
