The newest patch to the Warhammer Online open beta is out, with servers still down and slated to come back up around 12:30 EDT. Unlike the preview+ patch (4.1) these notes are all free and clear. As long as you're waiting for your Waagh to come back online anyway, why not delve deep into the patch notes to pass the time? There are a couple of great changes in there, even on top of the ones we detailed in our 'what you might have missed feature. The overwhelming response to the Beta has given Mythic a chance to see what the game is like under a 'live fire' scenario.

Read on through below the cut for the full formatted notes, but take a gander at these highlights first:
  • There have been a number of general changes aimed at removing confusion and clearing up technical problems. Pet pathing and perfomance seem to still be on the dev team's polish list.
  • Careers received only a modicum of tweaking; lots of abilities had their tooltips reworded to properly display damage information.
  • There's a new help interface for things like CSR assistance, bug reporting, and feedback.
  • The biggest changes have been to Tradeskills. Cultivation and Apothecary have recieved a number of tweaks, while Butchering, Magical Salvaging, and Talisman-making have been added into the game.
  • Our favorite patch note: We have finalized our character introduction cinemas and narrations. Please note that during Open Beta only, for characters that already exist, you may see the introduction play at a random location upon first log in of each character.

As we mentioned last week in our rundown of the newest preview+ patch notes, the full patch notes for Warhammer Online Beta Patch 4.1 are under NDA. That said, there is just a ton of new stuff that you might have missed between the end of the last Beta cycle and now. We're not going to temp Mythic's ire by laying out the notes for you, but we do want to make sure you know about all the cool new features and changes that have gone into the game. What we've come to as a compromise is a great gallery filled with imagery and information. It's a 'what you might have missed' guide to the brand new face of Warhammer Online.

Click on through to our 'What You Might Have Missed' gallery to get the rundown on all the brand new fun and features floating around the world of WAR. There are Tome changes, class fixes, and even some brand-new game settings! Check out the gallery, and have a good Waagh!

While the full 4.1 patch notes are still under NDA, the notes for this weekend's preview delve into Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning are free and clear for everyone to enjoy. And they're still pretty freaking huge. The full and mind-blowing notes are available after the cut, but here are some highlights:
- You can now only belong to one faction on a given Realm. Picking Destruction or Order with your first character is now a permanent choice.
- Every single class has received an overhaul, with the 'turret' classes (Engineer and Magus) and the Squig Herder getting the most love.
- Quests and Public Quests have received a few tweaks thanks to Beta feedback.
- Auction Houses and personal banks have been added to the game for the first time!

For every gruesome detail, read on below the cut.
