Bruce Maclean's WAR dev diary is crazy but awesome

The latest Warhammer Online developer diary is up on the official site, and we've got to say, Bruce Maclean's eccentricity is infectious. The subject of this dev diary is an explanation of Mythic's patching schedule, which could well have been a very boring topic, but if you visit the page you'll soon see that Bruce is just brimming with AWESOME! HOT! FIXES! and SEXY! COOL! NEW! FEATURES! that he simply must share with the WAR-playing world.

It sounds like Community Coordinator Missy Hatch had a hard time getting Bruce to cough up his input to the dev diary series -- she'd been chasing it up for the better part of two months -- and perhaps it is because he and his team were working non-stop to bring that sexy content out, improving WAR for current and future subscribers. He mentioned that, without including smaller things like server maintenance, there have been ten proper patches since the game's launch, which really wasn't that long ago. We've got no idea how Bruce got so zany, but if this is one of the secrets behind Mythic's patching schedule then we hope that he stays that way.

you know last saturday we were working on taking altdorf in dark crag i was there since morning working in locking zones then we made it into altdorf. the city was contested in 5 hours, 2 hours left and altdorf was ours but then the server went down for maintanance and everything resets... the next day yesterday the server went maintanance again while we were trying to lock a zone. it would be great if there would be a notification a day before the maintanance. that way we wont waste a whole day for nothing because it takes more than 12 hours to capture a city it all starts in caping zones which takes time if both realms are defending well.
