Below you will find all of the exciting features and improvements included in this update. We look forward to your feedback! Thanks for helping us make WAR a better game. Enjoy!

Highlights:

With 1.1, we have been working hard and listening to player feedback to make the great game of WAR even better. We’re proud to introduce to the game several exciting changes that you requested! These changes include the following:

• Two New Careers - The Knight of the Blazing Sun and the Black Guard have joined their allies and are now available to play for everyone!
• Open RvR Influence System – As part of our ongoing effort to encourage people to take part in oRvR, we are pleased to announce the release of an influence system geared solely to oRvR.  Players who participate in this part of WAR will now have additional incentives for fighting for their realm.  As part of this patch we have also made quite a number of changes and fixes to oRvR places and NPCs as well.
• Easy Public Quests – PQs are great but sometimes it’s hard to get enough people together to complete them, especially in the lower tiers.  So, we are redesigning one PQ per chapter so that it can be completed by 1-3 people.
• Chat Hyperlinking – One of the most requested features by the community has been adding the ability to hyperlink items, abilities and quests in the chat window and now it has been added.
• Armor Set Improvements – We have made a number of adjustments to armor sets to ensure that they continue to be some of the most attractive items in the game. In addition we have made adjustments to ensure they are more frequently available to players at all levels.
• Main Assist – RvR is exciting, chaotic and always challenging but this feature will make it just a little bit easier to help your group fight the good fight.
• Player Statue System – Nothing says “you’ve made it” more than having a statue with your name on it in the capital city of your realm.
• New Content – Whether it is new lairs, new quests and changes to items, this patch is full of lots of fun new content additions to the game.
• User Interface – Lots and lots of fixes, changes and new additions to our user interface and API functionality, new additions to the chat system and graphic options incorporating community requested features a channel flashing on activity, the ability to turn the chat bubbles on/off, a gamma slider and so much more.
