The dead rise as Warhammer Online patch 1.3 goes live

by Kyle Horner on Jun 16th 2009 1:30PM

Today is patch day for Warhammer Online players -- huzzah! Bug and balance fixes are of course in full swing, but the big news is the Land of the Dead live event launch. Of course, before getting to any of those juicy new content areas, players will have to participate in the brand new live event: Rise of the Tomb Kings.

This event is the final chapter for Mythic's Call to Arms content expansion and functions as a good intermediary between those initial massive updates and these new ones. So while plenty of content is indeed being added today, there's a lot more on the way in the coming months, too.

We'll be giving you plenty of coverage on the ins and outs of patch 1.3, so keep your eyes peeled for more.

Ah and I had high hopes that they'd get the skeletons anatomically correct. :-/ Nobody does, nobody does.

Maybe "anatomically correct" skeletons can not walk ;)

I wonder if there will be orc and goblin skeles? Or are humans (maybe elves) the only ones who rise from the dead?

The Tomb Kings are the undead remnants of a really old Human Civilization that was obliterated by Nagash the Great Necromancer. Therefore, most skeletons are human. You will find some cool constructs there though.

I'm not sure Orc's have bones. They're literally fungi.

Either they're fungi with bones, or WH took some serious liberties with the way things work. And since they do seem to have skulls, I'm assuming they're fungi with bones.

I cant wait to get home! Work is taking forever!

Ok, so what did this patch break, bug or make unplayable?

Have a little faith, or a back-up plan for the evening. Whichever you'll need first. ;)

The Shadow Warrior. It's broken the Shadow Warrior.

The patch won't complete. The support is non-existent... what else is new.

Hopefully they get undead right....
I remember the zombies in City of Heroes actually fire rifles LOL

And? They're the magically controlled corpses of modern soldiers.

No problems with the patch here . . .

And the outdoor RvR is rockin!

My only complaint so far is that the Inevitable City public quest wasn't working worth shit.

It's all good, they released a hotfix within like 2 hours that fixed pretty much everything.

Still, we've got time to see how it goes in the future. The people from the test realms gave a massive thumbs up to the content. "WAR has no PvE" just ain't true anymore guys. =P
