WAR's Heavy Metal hotfixes
Filed under: Fantasy, Bugs, Events, in-game, Game mechanics, Warhammer Online, News items
Mythic Entertainment has announced some recent Warhammer Online hot fixes they've made regarding the Heavy Metal live event, which entails the completion of daily tasks for the chance to gain early access to the two new classes being introduced to the game. Despite the excitement some had about being able to play a Knight of the Blazing Sun or a Black Guard early through goal completion in the Heavy Metal event, there have been some issues and complaints that WAR players have been reporting -- particularly in regards to unfinished tasks and scenario launch rates at Reikland Factory.
Warhammer Online community coordinator James Nichols made an announcement about what Mythic is doing to address these concerns:
- By popular request, players will now be able to complete previous daily tasks for the Heavy Metal event. A task will continue to unlock each day and remain open until the end of the event allowing players to complete all the tasks at their convenience. Please Note: If you notice an apparent loss of credit for any previous days you have already completed simply exit the game entirely and log back in to correct this issue.
- Reikland Factory: Improvements have been made to potentially increase the rate at which the scenario launches.

I've joined the Reikland scenario queue every day, since it launched, and I've NEVER had it pop on any server I've played on (Vortex Order, Gorfang Destro, Praag ORVR Order, Bechafen ORVR Destro).
I definitely think the rate at which it pops needed to be addressed, but I also think it's due to concurrent player population, which seems to be rapidly dwindling. Of the four servers I've played this week, Praag is the only one in which I've seen all three T1 scenarios pop. On the other servers, it's only Nordenwatch.

I have this same experience over on Azazel. Why is it ALWAYS Nordenwatch?!? I've started manually queueing for everything but Nordenwatch, but this just ensures I never see a scenario.

had a blast so far. Reikland factory is one of the best scenarios in the game at the moment, and the quality of the visual is really high. If this is the quality we can expect from live events in warhammer online, things sure look sweet.

I not care much for live events but I think the Reikland factory is one of the best scenarios in the game and its my understanding they will remove it again when its all over..... why??!!

No worries here. I've had fun playing Reikland Factory. Day before yesterday, I got it to pop three times in a row with little wait. I just do maintenance stuff in between like visit merchants, &c.
This week has been a highlight for me. Including the HM events, there's been lots of back and forth in T3 oRvR and I even tried to put my toe in the T4 pond but alas, being bolstered to level 36 just results in a pounding for this poor witch hunter when confronted with a Level 40 zerg!
