WAR: Grab Bag #22

The latest Warhammer Online grab bag is now up on the official site. This time, the questions and answers center around game update 1.3.2. Find out what the devs have up their collective sleeve below:

Q. With the removal of Forts from the T4 campaign, how are new players (or even existing players) supposed to gain Conqueror Gear? Is Conqueror Gear only going to be available through RvR Tokens and Land of the Dead? Is it available via the new Keep system? If it is, how does that affect Annihilator gear? Also, do have any info on the how we will obtain the items that were in the Purple and Blue bags from Fort takes and defenses? They had some really good items!

A. The Fortress loot has now been moved to Keeps. In game update 1.3.2, we're introducing the Keep difficulty system where a keep will be rated on how difficult it will be to defend/attack based on the Keep's rank and how many attackers and/or defenders there are. The Keeps with the highest difficulty rating will drop the Fortress and Conqueror gear.

Q. When in a City Siege, how do you communicate with players in just your city siege instance? Example: If I'm in Aldorf instance #5069, how do I just talk to everyone in Aldorf #5069 in-game?

A. Right now, the best way is to use warband chat and/or to use the region chat with what instance you're in. You can also create a private channel for your instance by typing /channeljoin [channel name], and ask everyone to join (which they can do by typing the same thing once the channel is created). That's something we want to simplify, of course, so look for an improved method in a future version.
