Hi Community,
Der Patch 1.05 mit den Klassen überarbeitung wird
am 19.11.08 Aufgespielt
patchnotizen nochmal hier
Greetings!
The Public Test Server is coming soon, so in the meantime we wanted to provide you with instructions on how you can get onto the server as well as how to copy your characters and jump right into testing.
The purpose of the Public Test Server (PTS) is for the players to help us refine and test the latest version of the game by experiencing the changes firsthand and providing feedback and bug reports to Mythic. As such, we want to remind you that the content introduced to this server is still considered “in development,” and that bugs and issues not found on the LIVE server may occur on the PTS. All features and fixes listed below are subject to change until we release Game Update 1.0.5 to all live servers.
When leaving Feedback or Bug Reports we encourage you to provide details on why you feel the way you do or why you think something needs to be fixed. It's also important to note that when you submit a Bug Report, it automatically records your location in game so be sure to submit them at the location where you experienced them when you can!
To access the Public Test Server, locate the new patcher: testpatch.exe in your main Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning directory. This file will be automatically downloaded when the Public Test Server is opened.
Simply run the testpatch.exe file to start the patcher. Just like the live game, it will download everything automatically, just click play and you're good to go!
Creating a copy of your Live character to play on the Public Test Server is easy, too. Visit your Mythic Account Center, login, and click on the Character Transfer Button above your Game Account profiles. Then, follow the instructions to the Character Transfer Center. Once you are in the Character Transfer Center you will see three options at the bottom. Select "character copy" and then fill in the information on the next page to choose the character you wish to copy.
Once you have confirmed the copy you can view the status of the transfer as it is processed. Please note that you may be required to change the name of your character to avoid naming conflicts. If for any reason there is an error with your transfer, you can click on the "More Details" option to find out why the Character Copy was unsuccessful.
That's all it takes to jump into the action and test the latest bleeding edge updates before they come to a server near you!
And now, without further ado, we present to you the Public Test Server notes for Game Update 1.0.5...WAAAGH!!!
Highlights
Each career has been reviewed, and we have made many changes to improve career balance and playability. Players who belong to one of the following careers will need to speak to their trainers in order to re-train their Career Mastery abilities:
Black Orc
Bright Wizard
Chosen
Engineer
Ironbreaker
Magus
Shadow Warrior
Sorcerer
Squig Herder
Swordmaster
Players who go AFK while in Public Quest areas or during keep sieges will no longer receive contribution credit towards those encounters.
Players are now able to set their rally points in warcamps.
Fixes have been made to issues which were causing guild promotion and demotion not to work properly.
Several issues have been addressed that previously allowed players to get to locations they were not supposed to be able to reach.
Morale abilities will now be much more responsive. These abilities will now fire immediately when activated by the player on the first attempt.
Morale abilities will now display their cooldowns correctly at all times.
Root effects, with the exception of morale roots, will now grant a 5 second immunity from all roots to the victim when the effect breaks, and in addition will no longer stack with other roots.
Root effects will now properly have a chance to break whenever a player takes ANY damage. This includes individual tics of Damage over Time spells.
To promote population balance among the various scenarios, we have added a feature that reduces the number of times a scenario can launch in a short period of time. This will give scenarios which are launched less frequently an opportunity to catch up in the queue population and launch more often.
Improvements have been made to auto-attack animations. Players will now see smoother, more consistent weapon swaps when players change from ranged to melee auto-attacks, and vice-versa.
The responsiveness of ability activations has been improved. Players will now see less of a delay between the activation of an ability and the corresponding animation.
General Changes and Bug Fixes:
There were some instances in which the reticule for ground-target-area-effects was allowing these spells to be cast in areas which were not originally intended. This has been adjusted.
Several issues have been addressed that previously allowed players to get to locations they were not supposed to be able to reach.

Der Patch 1.05 mit den Klassen überarbeitung wird
am 19.11.08 Aufgespielt
patchnotizen nochmal hier
Greetings!
The Public Test Server is coming soon, so in the meantime we wanted to provide you with instructions on how you can get onto the server as well as how to copy your characters and jump right into testing.
The purpose of the Public Test Server (PTS) is for the players to help us refine and test the latest version of the game by experiencing the changes firsthand and providing feedback and bug reports to Mythic. As such, we want to remind you that the content introduced to this server is still considered “in development,” and that bugs and issues not found on the LIVE server may occur on the PTS. All features and fixes listed below are subject to change until we release Game Update 1.0.5 to all live servers.
When leaving Feedback or Bug Reports we encourage you to provide details on why you feel the way you do or why you think something needs to be fixed. It's also important to note that when you submit a Bug Report, it automatically records your location in game so be sure to submit them at the location where you experienced them when you can!
To access the Public Test Server, locate the new patcher: testpatch.exe in your main Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning directory. This file will be automatically downloaded when the Public Test Server is opened.
Simply run the testpatch.exe file to start the patcher. Just like the live game, it will download everything automatically, just click play and you're good to go!
Creating a copy of your Live character to play on the Public Test Server is easy, too. Visit your Mythic Account Center, login, and click on the Character Transfer Button above your Game Account profiles. Then, follow the instructions to the Character Transfer Center. Once you are in the Character Transfer Center you will see three options at the bottom. Select "character copy" and then fill in the information on the next page to choose the character you wish to copy.
Once you have confirmed the copy you can view the status of the transfer as it is processed. Please note that you may be required to change the name of your character to avoid naming conflicts. If for any reason there is an error with your transfer, you can click on the "More Details" option to find out why the Character Copy was unsuccessful.
That's all it takes to jump into the action and test the latest bleeding edge updates before they come to a server near you!
And now, without further ado, we present to you the Public Test Server notes for Game Update 1.0.5...WAAAGH!!!
Highlights
Each career has been reviewed, and we have made many changes to improve career balance and playability. Players who belong to one of the following careers will need to speak to their trainers in order to re-train their Career Mastery abilities:
Black Orc

Engineer
Ironbreaker
Magus
Shadow Warrior
Sorcerer
Squig Herder
Swordmaster
Players who go AFK while in Public Quest areas or during keep sieges will no longer receive contribution credit towards those encounters.
Players are now able to set their rally points in warcamps.
Fixes have been made to issues which were causing guild promotion and demotion not to work properly.

Morale abilities will now display their cooldowns correctly at all times.
Root effects, with the exception of morale roots, will now grant a 5 second immunity from all roots to the victim when the effect breaks, and in addition will no longer stack with other roots.
Root effects will now properly have a chance to break whenever a player takes ANY damage. This includes individual tics of Damage over Time spells.
To promote population balance among the various scenarios, we have added a feature that reduces the number of times a scenario can launch in a short period of time. This will give scenarios which are launched less frequently an opportunity to catch up in the queue population and launch more often.
Improvements have been made to auto-attack animations. Players will now see smoother, more consistent weapon swaps when players change from ranged to melee auto-attacks, and vice-versa.
The responsiveness of ability activations has been improved. Players will now see less of a delay between the activation of an ability and the corresponding animation.
