[Weekend Warfront: Foray of Fate]



Stumbling upon an unusual network of tunnels beneath Praag, a small band of Order finds themselves within the slumbering walls of The Eternal Citadel. Followed by members of Destruction, these two forces clash within Tchar'zanek's throne room... but that is not all that trespasses through this labyrinth of twisted reality.

This weekend Foray of Fate 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 Eternal Citadel scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.

If you complete all tasks you will get the title "Eternal Infiltrator" as order or "Citadel Cerberus" as destruction.

[RvR]

- Increased amount of Vanquisher medallions in RvR bags.

[Fortresses]

- Lowered damage from poison.

[Reikland Hills]

The original rotating king of the hill mechanic has been implemented:

- After 30s the fallen bridge objective will open

- Once the objective has been captured another random one will open after 20s.

- The captured objective will continue to be open and generate points for another 80s after capture, so you have to make a decision if you stay and protect the flag, or rush to the newly opened objective.

[Scenario]

- The Destruction quest giver in Reikland Factory has been moved closer to the spawn

Hotfix #1
[Weekend Warfront: Battle at the Cairn]



The land of Ulthuan seems to have been built on tragedy. Some tragedies come from without, and are guided by neither malice nor whim. Others are manufactured and forced upon their victims like deadly poisons. The tale of the Brothers Blackcairn, Elthryril and Lothelryel, is one such tragedy. Lothelryel made a pact with Morathi to betray his brother, Elthryril. Using Morathi's magics, Lothelryel sought to take control of his line and follow Malekith. Yet it was Lothelryel who was deceived. The magic that would have imprisoned his brother entrapped both of them, even as their blades guaranteed their mutual destruction.

In places the rage and hatred of familial betrayal have seeped into the land, turning the sites of ancient struggles into magical wellsprings of dark power. Now a new battle erupts as Order and Destruction forces vie for control of the Blackcairn Estate.

This weekend the Battle at the Cairn 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 Blood of the Black Cairn scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.


[Client]

-Alt Enter no longer can be used to toggle fullscreen. You must now use the options in the game client to change fullscreen. It is reccomended to run with "Use Fullscreen" disabled.

- As a note, there is a performance hit in borderless windowed (no frame, no fullscreen) regardless of OS. Fullscreen does not have this performance hit, but may result in crashes during gameplay if you alt-tab out of fullscreen mode and continue playing without restarting. Essentially, after changing resolution, restart your game completely.

[Weekend Warfront: The Siege of Praag]

These are dark times for the city of Praag. The Raven Host have summoned a daemon and are planning on feeding the innocent souls of the townsfolk to the foul beast! For generations, the sons and daughters of Kislev have fought and died to protect their lands from Chaos invasions. Can they hold Praag once again?



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

[RvR]

- The drop rates for Invader Medallion Shards and Royal Crest Shards has been increased.

- After a fort has been locked for 8 hours, the pairing will reset back to the middle, unless a city siege is in progress. Currently the timer is not shown on the map, only as a PQ reset timer if you enter the fort. We will try to add it to the map as well in the future.

- The extra end zone defense reward is removed. That reward (+2 invaders/vanqs) was previously handed out to pre-fort zone defenders for successfully defending the end zone and pushing back to the middle zone. We feel that with the added keep defense rewards and increased shard drops this end zone defense mechanic is not needed anymore.

- The value per supply resource for ranking up keeps is decreased a bit.

[Personal loot]

- Some tweaks in how contribution is measured.

- Scaled down all the personal loot roll numbers so a gold bag is won with a total of 1000+. The chances for each bag type and the proportion of roll vs contribution remains the same as before.

[Scenarios]

- The cannons in Battle for Praag are removed.

[Combat]

- Proc damage is no longer automatically undefendable as guard damage.

[Abilities]

[Choppa]

- Git To Da Choppa: Fixed a few issues with this ability, the range is now slightly bigger, matching the tooltip. It is now defendable. Interrupting it will no longer cause an extra damage tick.

[Engineer]

- Snipe: Corrected the weapon DPS contribution so damage matches tooltip (Note that weapon DPS from ranged slot is only updated on the tooltips if you relog).

[Marauder]

- Draining Swipe: Corrected duration on tooltip.

- Thunderous Blow: Back to 5s cooldown, but unaffected by cooldown reducing abilities. The maximum wounds debuff at lvl 40 is adjusted to 120 wounds. Tooltip is updated to match.

[Shaman]

- Get'n Smarter: The Intelligence buff on this ability now follows normal stacking rules.

[Witch Hunter]

- Incognito: The 30s duration is removed. However, you will still run exit stealth if you run out of AP. Which means that the longest you can normally stay in stealth is 1 minute and 23 seconds. But the longer you stay in stealth the less AP you will have left when you leave stealth. Note: To Glory! will no longer affect you in stealth.

- Sever Blessing: This ability builds one Accusation now

- Protection from Heresy: This tactic also triggers when leaving stealth after using Sanctified oil

But the longer you stay in stealth the less AP you will have left when you leave stealth. Note: Dreadful Terror will no longer affect you in stealth.

- Sever Blessing: This ability builds one Blood Lust now

- Enveloping Shadows: This tactic also triggers when leaving stealth after using Elixir of Shadows

- New Ability at lvl 34: "Shadow of Death", 2s cast, 20s cooldown: With swift motion of your daggers you carve the hand of Khaine into the flesh of your victim. They cannot be resurrected for the next 30 seconds.

[Keep Upgrade System]

Guilds that own a Keep can now purchase upgrades to bolster their hold's utility and defenses in a variety of ways. Once a Keep has been claimed, a guild member with sufficient permission can speak to the Keep Upgrade NPC on the upper level of the Keep to choose what upgrades to purchase. These upgrades require a periodic maintenance fee and some are available in multiple levels. Once purchased, upgrades will take time to be completed. This process can be monitored via the new Keep Upgrade Interface. Upgrades will decay if funds are unavailable to pay their maintenance or if a guild member chooses to stop paying for the upgrade.

In the upper-right corner of the window, you’ll see the current Upkeep Cost for your guild’s claimed Keep. This is how much your Guild Vault is being charged every 5 minutes for owning that specific Keep. The default flat rate for claiming a Keep is 10 Silver for Tier 2, 15 Silver for Tier 3, and 20 Silver for Tier 4 every 5 minutes. This replaces the 80 Gold keep claim cost.

Any upgrade you purchase will be added to this maintenance cost which is shown in the bottom-left corner of the Keep Upgrade window.

Getting to the meat of the Keep Upgrade window, let’s look at how you pick and choose your upgrades. Each upgrade has a Rank, Cost, and Time associated with it. The Rank is the level of the upgrade, and can be adjusted via plus or minus buttons. Cost is how much the upgrade costs to initially purchase, and how much it will cost every 5 minutes to maintain. Time is how long it takes the upgrade to apply to the Keep.

When you hover your mouse cursor over the upgrade name, you’ll see a small tooltip window which shows you the details of the upgrade. Details include the cost of the upgrade, a small blurb about the upgrade, its upgrade time, and Guild Rank requirement (if any).

Some upgrades, such as the Guild Flight Master, have only one available Rank.

Individual Keep Upgrades can be adjusted up and down as you wish until you click the “Save” button. Once you click the Save button, all upgrades you have purchased will incur the initial cost listed, and then the recurring upkeep cost every 5 minutes. Also note that if you reduce the Keep Upgrade back to 0 before your Keep is charged, you are not refunded the initial Keep Upgrade purchase!

Chat window notifications are sent out when upgrades are purchased, when they are completed, and when they are removed. Also note that maintenance fee messages are sent out, so you know exactly where your Guild Funds are going.

Taking a brief step back, the increasing or decreasing of an upgrade will take the same amount of time. During this time, your guild will still be charged the maintenance fees according to the upgrade’s Rank as it downgrades. In the event that your guild does not have enough funds in the Guild Vault to cover the upkeep of you claimed Keep, your guild will get receive a warning message.

If your guild runs out of funds, the Keep will be released; however, all upgrades will remain up for a brief period of time. The amount of time they remain active depends on the Rank of the upgrade. For example, an upgrade that takes 5 minutes to spawn, will take 5 minutes to go away due to lack of funds. If you run out of funds, but deposit money back into your Guild Vault before the next maintenance cycle, your upgrade will remain. Any Ranks lost on the upgrade will need to be reset to their higher Ranks if you went from a Rank 5 upgrade to a Rank 3 upgrade.

Now for the upgrades themselves!

Here are the initial Keep upgrades:

• Healer: Hire an NPC that cures Death Penalties.
• Improved Respawns: Allows respawns at the Keep when the door is at lower health.
• Guild Flight Master: Allows guild members to fly to your Keep from the Warcamp.

As you can see, the Keep Upgrades offer many great additions to Keeps, and we’re just getting started! Stay tuned for further Keep Upgrades coming in later patches.

To unclaim a keep please use /guildreleasekeep [keep number]
