Natherul
- Changed some of the loading screen tips for the client.

Over the past several weeks, and for months, if not a little over a year of development, maybe even longer, Max Hayman has finally bequeathed upon us the legendary Patcher. Torquemadra has spent an age, with guiding wisdom from Londo, pulling apart the treasures within the client files. Putting them back together, over and over again. Waiting with little patience to spare. Plotting, scheming, and piecing together the puzzle. Buried deep within spreadsheets within spreadsheets, his mind holding its sanity together with sheer willpower alone.

I even sent him a second monitor. The madman was working from a single 720p monitor... who does that... Well, madness eventually has its rewards!

Those of sharp eye may have already noticed a few tooltips that have been adjusted on the live server as a brief test.


Two Weeks™ has finally arrived.

The time of Reckoning is truly upon us.

Thus, without further hesitation, we have the following to announce...

04/07/2018 HOTFIX
30/06/2018 HOTFIX 30/06/2018 Launcher possible fix - IF AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE SOME ISSUES
Yali's game folder files Just download and extract/replace in your game folder. (content : RoRLauncher.exe - RoRUpdater.exe - War.exe - War-64.exe - mythloginserviceconfig.xml)

[New Scenario! The Ironclad Returns to T1]

Grunbag -


Pack your life jackets and pool noodles! Summer is in full swing, and we're dropping the kids off at the pool. Tier 1 players will now have access to The Ironclad. A ship based scenario with three capture points. We've also surrounded the area with mines, as we couldn't find any netting. This is fine. Panic appropriately.

This will be a T1 exclusive scenario largely to avoid issues with group healing through walls and multiple floors. Maybe one day that changes, but not today...
