Video footage of WAR's Reikland Factory scenario
Filed under: Fantasy, Video, Events, in-game, Game mechanics, Guilds, PvP, Warhammer Online
The Heavy Metal live event for Warhammer Online has been well-received, albeit with some complaints about scenario frequency. Reikland Factory is a unique 'event-only' scenario in WAR, which some players lament will end with Heavy Metal. If this is indeed the case, at least one blogger out there decided to capture it in video for posterity. Snafzg from The Greenskin blog has put up video footage of his participation in the Reikland Factory scenario. The footage, with Snafzg's commentary throughout, walks the viewer through the scenario and its multiple types of terrain, both indoors and open air. Snafzg is in combat for much of the walkthrough so it's an interesting way to get a quick visual tour of the scenario. You can find The Greenskin's "Reikland Factory Heavy Metal Scenario RvR" video embedded below the cut:

I hope they keep the Reikland Factory scenario open after the Heavy Metal event. It is one of the best scenarios that I have been in but, then again, my "main" is only T3 so I have not seen them all.
The map has a wide variety of terrain for both indoor and outdoor skirmishes plus multiple levels, which is great for ranged DPS, and multiple access paths to the control points, which is great for coordinated attacks and outflanking the enemy.
I have been "lucky" enough to crash while in the scenario only to find myself alone -- with only guards remaining -- after I re-logged in. With no worries about time or enemies I was able to truly appreciate the map and the attention to detail that went into it.

They already hinted in some grab bag that even if the scenario is temporary, it won't be lost. I'm pretty sure it'll be there in one form or another.
And yes, I agree, is the best scenario in the game at the moment, and probably the best instanced PvP experience i had to date.

Really? I find it to be horribly poor for renown (R40 RR40 atm) and as a healer most PUG's scatter around too much, meaning my AoE heal hits maybe 2 people max.
It's well made but without an option to que as a warband it's an exercise in frustration.

Pretty impressive, especially for a Squig Herder. I had always heard that they were underpowered, so it's nice to see how they can be played well.

The best way to play a squig herder is to NOT become the target! :P Thanks for sharing my video!

He has some cool UI things. Does anyone know where he got them? Are they built in ones, or plugins?
