Achievements

Warlords Achievements have been included in this patch, but just like the Shaman they require some testing on a "live" environment to ensure they are working perfectly for you guys. The achievements

will be enabled on Wednesday 4pm EST along with the Shaman class

.

The Shaman has been included in this patch! Sorry but you can't actually play him just yet! He will launch atWe want to be ultra certain the the Shaman is balanced on release, we need some time (3 days) for the admins to be able to test him in a live environment and make sure for the best possible launch, this means you will be seeing Zumulus and other admins playing the shaman ingame to make sure he is balanced for the release to the players.This is to prevent warlords from becoming "Shamanlords" on the shaman release day.We hope you are looking forward to the Shaman launch! Onto the rest of the patch (which is all live now!)This new control method allows you to activate skills immediately by pressing the number like most modern MMO and RPG games, rather than having to select the skill and then activate it by right-clicking.For serious Warlords players, this will for sure be the best way to fight in the came, saving previous time during combat!You can either enable this in the shop, or via the commandingame.Completing 3 games in a row without leaving or being afk now rewards 2 extra broken parts (repeatable!) , this system should encourage players to stay for the entire game - and we'll see more exciting comebacks and fairer matches!Common and rare weapons now have a special button that allows you to salvage of of these with just one click. This feature is for our VIPs and above only!The Lobby got some improvements too! The class selector is updated to include the shaman, there is a new wing in the Hall of Weapons showing off the latest 5 new legendary weapons and the entrance path to the hall of weapons got a new look!The entire projectile system in the game (fireballs and so on) has been rewritten from the ground up to have much better collision detection, and spell effect appearance.Enjoy the patch guys! Watch out for those admins playing as Shamans ;-), save up your coins for the release!See you again on Wednesday for the Shaman release newspost!
