From Mythic Entertainment to EA Mythic to Mythic Entertainment to (now) BioWare Mythic, Warhammer Online's developer has seen its fair share of name changes. Change is the theme of the June Producer's Letter, as Carrie Gouskos not only announced the new name for the merged developer, but a number of other changes for WAR as well.
The takeover of Europe's WAR operations from GOA was a significant topic. Mythic is hosting the EU side on five servers: two English, two German and one French. "We're overjoyed to welcome our European players and are looking forward to more direct interaction with them," Carrie said.
She also pointed to the future with the upcoming 1.3.6 patch, which includes a nifty feature called Against All Odds that rewards outnumbered armies with up to 400% more experience, renown and influence in RvR lakes. Other upcoming changes include armor appearance slots, tweaks to open RvR, and a forge to alter the stat bonuses of city armor. You can read the full Producer's Letter here!

I was really hoping the RvR improvements, teased in an earlier letter, would be more substantial. Maybe major changes will happen in patch 1.4. I'm an explorer and socializer. There's nothing in this patch for me, aside from destroying my rr80 zealot thanks to Mythic's lazy, hair-brained C&C team. Accelerated *ding* and gear tweaks aren't enough to keep me subscribed. So I'm not renewing, not giving Mythic any more money.

A full rework of your class mechanics that essentially gives you free int or will depending on your stance isnt enough? 1.3.5 changed a very large portion of the end game and its now faster and more streamlined so I dont know what other RvR change they could do specially for 1.3.6 which everyone knows has been a class tweak patch
I was one of the mythic haters a few months ago, but they've shown far more competence now than they did a year ago even when their staff has been cut so much.

The Zealot is the only class without a snare. We depend on a stun and a silence to buy us time. To prevent those spells from being disrupted, you need over 400 intelligence. In healing stance, we won't have enough intelligence to use those spells. Survivability has been an issue with the zealot. And it's made worse by this patch.
We also lose our dot to hot lifetap, transference, in this patch. Assuming Mythic doesn't mirror the RP's version, we'll also be the only healing class without a damage to heal over time spell, further diminishing our survivability. Also all of our damage will be nerfed severely because our main debuff is going away.
So our best survival tool is flash heal, which got way too big a buff last patch. I do not see it staying that OP. Maybe the stupidity of the C&C team will allow them to overlook that OP-ness.

See.. if only the companies would listen to players like Taawa.. I think we still get to play this games and the companies would have jobs.

Seems to me that EA is whoring the good name of Bioware, while all Mythic can produce is the worst catch phrase ever.."Killing People in da face."

To those that think this is actually a good thing... I got a WAR copy - Now I can't use it on either GOA or one the EAMythic site.... And ofc... can't get into the game.
These guys are the best when it comes to screwing things up !!
I will keep ppl updated on how things go....

If you can't get into the game your obviously doing something wrong, I haven't seen anyone else with this problem.
