The newest <a href="http://warhammeronline.com"><em>Warhammer Online</em></a> <a href="http://herald.warhammeronline.com/warherald/NewsArticle.war?id=892">producer's letter</a> starts off by detailing all the major changes coming with <a href="http://massively.com/tag/war-patch-1.3.1">patch 1.3.1</a>, including revamped city siege, open RvR enhancements, and social improvements. Basically, it's a lot of stuff we've heard about already. However, things get really interesting when <a href="http://massively.com/tag/jeff-skalski">Jeff Skalski</a> starts talking about what is on the horizon for <a href="http://massively.com/tag/war-patch-1.3.2">patch 1.3.2</a>. There are some gems.<br /><br />It sounds like <a href="http://massively.com/tag/mythic-entertainment">Mythic</a> is planning on uncoupling the fortresses from zone capture. This is a major RvR campaign design shift but the details are pretty vague at this stage. They will also be reworking the earlier tiers of the game in an effort to retain newbies and make alting more pleasurable. This could work quite nicely with the sidekick/buddy system they are working on as well. Finally, they're continuing to tweak crowd control and hint at a potential new Live Event tied to the "Daemon Moon." Maybe it will involve the <a href="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/khornedpandh.htm">Khorne Daemon Prince</a> in the image above.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/18/war-producers-details-major-1-3-1-changes-and-lays-out-plan-for/">WAR producer's letter details major 1.3.1 changes and lays out plan for near future</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:00:00 EST.
