[Weekend Warfront: Thunder Valley Rampage]

A battle's broken out down at Thunder Valley. Seems the greenskins have found the secret workshop where Dwarf Engineers are developin' new engines of war. Thunder Valley's importance to the war effort can't be overstated. Quick now, go join the fight. We need every warrior we can get down there!

The Thunder Valley scenario is open again for characters of all levels! This weekend only join in the joy of slaughter as enemy forces clash in this legendary locale!



This weekend Thunder Valley Rampage will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Thunder Valley scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks. Completing all tasks will grant the title: "Thunderous Veteran".

Special thanks to the player Anlek for creating the artwork for warfront this week as well!

[Scenarios]

- Adjusted a few quest givers to be able to take the quests easier.

The scenario scoreboard has been redesigned, XP & Renown has been moved up and are only displayed at the end of the scenario. But two new columns have been added, Protection and Objectives.
[Protection]

The protection column shows some of the work that tanks are doing to protect their team.

This score tracks the total damage reduction from absorbs, Guard, and various damage reducing abilities like Challenge, Distracting Bellow, Immaculate Defense or Hold the line. This means that a healer using absorb shields can also get a protection score, or for example a sorcerer using Wind-Woven Shell will also show up as a protection score.

Currently it does not include damage reduced from buffing your teams toughness or debuffing the enemy teams offensive stats.

Due to the order of calculations in the combat formulas, values in the protection score is the non-critical damage protected against. In the future this might change to include critical damage protected against as well.

Examples:
- Tank A uses "Guard" on player B which is hit by an ability that would normally hit for 100 damage. Guard reduces the damage taken by B by 50%, 50 protection points is awarded to A.

- Tank A uses "Challenge" on an enemy, which then hits Player B with an ability that would normally hit for 100 damage. Challenge reduces the damage to 70, and 30 protection points is awarded to A.

- Iron Breaker uses Oathbound, buffing their oath friends parry by 25%. This causes the oath friend to parry a blow for 200 damage they otherwise would not have parried. The Iron Breaker is awarded 200 protection points.

[Objectives]

The Objectives column shows an objective score that is awarded for taking or guarding objectives, carrying or escorting flags and parts. The exact scoring varies depending on the mechanics of the scenario in question.

The Objective Score is not implemented for the City Siege scenarios yet.

[Medals]

At the end of the scenario, the top player on each realm in the following categories will be awarded a medal for their effort:
- Death Blows
- Damage
- Healing
- Protection
- Objective Score

- Winning a medal will grant the player in question an extra emblem.

[Ranked Scenarios]

The goals of the Warrior Priest/DoK changes are:

• To have Righteous Fury/Soul Essence be more meaningful of a class resource outside of Salvation/Dark Rites-mastery, and to make better use of the original class-design of “spend Action Points to generate Righteous Fury/Soul Essence, spend Righteous Fury/Soul Essence for a heal/utility effect”.
• To require most of the Warrior Priest/DoK’s Spirit-damage abilities (specifically, the abilities available to all specs that can also be spammed) to cost Righteous Fury/Soul Essence instead of Action Points, creating a greater requirement on Weapon Skill as a stat. This reduces the damage potential of pure spirit damage shield spec builds somewhat as you are forced to use physical damage abilities to rebuild the RF/SE.
• To provide additional utility to the Wrath/Torture DPS-spec, without directly increasing ability damage, by reducing some of the shortcomings of the spec, namely the lack of a way to catch up on the Warrior Priest and cooldowns on all but one direct-damage ability.

[Items]

Many gear procs for healers have been changed from triggering on a direct heal to instead trigger when casting a healing ability. This reduces the proc chance on group heal abilities but makes it possible to proc them on heal over time abilities as well as direct healing abilities.

Hotfix #1 [Weekend Warfront: Stonetroll Slaughter]

The Stonetroll Crossing scenario is open again for characters of all levels! Take control of the Troll Pacifier for your realm! Charge forth, and remember: the only good troll is a dead troll.



This weekend Stonetroll Slaughter will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Stronetroll Crossing scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

Special thanks to the player Anlek for creating the artwork for this warfront!

- Solo kills from solo players are now excluded from the AAO malus.

- The minimum reward scaler for player kills is now increased to 10% instead of 0% if level difference is too high. Or 20% if only renown difference is too high but level is equal.

Hotfix #2 Hotfix #1 [Weekend Warfront: Isha's Sorrow]

The once tranquil grounds of the Temple of Isha are soaked in the blood of WAR. Once again the armies of Malekith have amassed upon the Lost Temple of Isha. In years long past two brothers, Tyrion and Teclis, forced their enemies from the temple. Tyrion it was who slew Poisonblade, the Witch King's champion, while Teclis accomplished a feat matched by no hero then or since.

The Lost Temple of Isha scenario is open again for characters of all levels! Should the forces of Destruction complete all of their tasks and successfully desecrate the Temple of Isha they will be awarded with the title of "Sorrowmonger" while those amongst the armies of Order who manage to successfully defend the temple and complete their tasks will find themselves dubbed as "Isha's Champion".



This weekend Isha's Sorrow will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Lost Temple of Isha scenario, and extra rewards and titles from completing the event tasks.

[Combat Formulas]

- When verifying the changes from last patch with old videos from live it was discovered that some of the changes were correct, some were wrong and that there were some more bugs lurking in the server code. This patch includes numerous fixes to the formulas that should bring them in line with how they worked on live and hopefully make things more balanced.

- The 75% mitigation cap on toughness is removed. With the fixed damage formulas we suspect this is no longer needed, so it is removed for now.

[HoT & DoT Mechanics]

HoTs and DoTs will no longer refresh the tick timer when they are reapplied, and the remaining time of the current interval is carried over to the new HoT/DoT.

This is different to how it behaved on the live servers, but is a system other MMOs have adopted since then as it is a nice QoL improvement.

This also affects stacking dots when applying more stacks. Examples of such dots are:
- Shadow Warrior: Broadhead Arrow
- Marauder: Rend
- KotBS: Blazing Blade
- Witch Elf: Envenomed Blade
- Witch Hunter: Fervor

Chart illustrating the difference in behavior when reapplying a 9s DoT/HoT in the old system compared to the new system: [Ranked Scenarios]

We apologize for not announcing the Season 1 end on time, yet appreciate there is a want for ranked scenarios. We have been working behind the scenes on improving things for the start of Season 2 and are now releasing some of the features.

When season 2 starts MMR scores will be reset.

Several new maps and a scenario map randomizer has been added.

You will now just queue for the "Ranked Solo" or "Ranked" scenario, and upon entering the scenario you will get loaded into one of the six maps currently available.
All six maps use the same rule set, with a single flag in the middle of the map.

The available maps are:
- Mourkain Temple
- Black Fire Basin
- Maw of Madness
- Reikland Hills
- Caledor Woods
- Phoenix Gate

[New Rewards]

New powerful 3 day duration event slot items have been added for a cost of between 75 and 125 Triumphant Emblems depending on your MMR (approximately 5 scenario wins). These items have twice the stats of the regular weekend warfront event slot items. So in total 25 extra stat points and +1 crit. These items are best in slot items that are only available through ranked scenarios.

[Fortresses]

- The number of bags in Forts now scale with number of participants. In most forts this will mean an increase in number of bags, it will only be a decrease in forts with a total of less than 216 players on both sides combined.

- The number of royal crests in Fort bags if you already have the invader tome unlock have been increased to 1 in Green, 2 in Blue/Purple and 3 in Gold.

- Bloom of Hope: This quest is now available from the Maiden's Hope in the Chaos Wastes

Hotfix #2
Hotfix #1
[Weekend Warfront: Road to Madness]

There is rumored to be a great source of power deep in the Chaos Wastes. The Maw of Madness as it is called is undoubtedly being used by our enemies.

There are two fates branching forth for you. In one, you storm the Maw of Madness and claim the magical power for your realm. In the other, you wander the wastes a mewling spawn of wretchedness. Which would you rather see come to pass?

For each effect removed, you will regain X health. Your Oath Friend will be affected as well if they’re within 50ft of you.". The health scales with ability level, up to 200 at ability level 40.

[Items]

Hotfix #2 Hotfix #1
[Weekend Warfront: Spirit of War]

It has long been said that the souls of the violent dead cannot rest when fresh blood decorates their graves. A saying that appears to be more than mere superstition to those that battle within the cemetery atop High Pass. Strange and frightening figures form from the cloying mists to tower above the clashing armies.



This weekend Spirit of War will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in the Highpass Cemetary scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

[Misc]

A large portion of code handling coordinates and distance calculations has been rewritten to be faster, easier to work with and also always work across zone borders.

Previously many smaller things didn't work correctly across zone borders. For example planting an electromagnet and then crossing a zone border before it fires off, detecting nearby enemies in stealth or shooting ground target AoE siege weapons across zones. They should all work correctly now.

[Items]

- Sentinel dungeon influence weapons can no longer be salvaged or sold.

Alternative text for enhanced flavor

- Sentinel dungeon named legendary epic influence weapons can no longer be casually salvaged into a paltry crafting fragment of sadness and disappointment. They can no longer be sold to vendors, as such legendary epic weapons have no quantifiable value to a mere sausage vendor. In fact, the only thing you can do when you no longer have a use for such legendary epic weapons is to store them gently in your bank vault, or throw them on the ground. (Throwing a legendary epic weapon on the ground thus submits it to orphaned children who immediately whisk it away to the dungeoneers to restock the reward systems)
- Please be careful with your legendarily epic gear.
