Weekly Favorite: Screenshots.
No need to go into a lengthy post about why screenshots are a favorite.
So let me just share with you some of my most recent shots:
This can’t be right.
This post reminded me of something I witnessed last night during some scenarios. It may be that I just don't know of this spiffy secret move, but I didn't think it was possible for Destruction to get to the Supply Room in the Gates of Ekrund scenario before Order could. I had just run up the ramp to capture it with my group when I saw that a Choppa (or some Orc class) had already gotten there.
Then during either the same scenario or a different one (but still Gates of Ekrund) we were fighting near that same flag when it seemed like a Choppa (?) came out of nowhere. Now at the time I waved it off, thinking he just came around and flanked from behind. It was strange enough though, that I'm still not sure how he actually did that. Was it cheating, some sweet trick, or did he just run up from behind?
I can't imagine that Mythic would put that sort of thing in the game even if it was a super exclusive power/unlock/achievement.
Hm. I'll have to pay more attention the next time to see if they're cheating or not.
Please enlighten me if you know anything I don't.
WCPI #8: Mmmmm Gud.
Every now and again I'll star a post in my Google Reader that I either want to comment on, use for WCPI fodder, or just because I liked it. This post turned out to be the last two. Originally I starred it because I liked it. I just went back, reread it, and decided it should be shared with those who may not have seen it.
So Mmmmm Gud, this is for you.
I also share Earendur's opinion that it's a nice breath of fresh air to read a simple "Thanks Mythic, I enjoy your game".

The WAR Community Promotion Initiative, or WCPI for short, is a player-wide effort for WAR fansites, blogs, forums, and other WAR community efforts to cross-promote and expose content to everyone who visits them. Members of the WCPI regularly promote each other through links, spotlights, and other features. If you have a WAR site and you'd like to join, check out the WCPI thread or PM PhoenixRed on the Warhammer Alliance forums.
Another rank achieved.
I got to play Kaeleer a bit yesterday and happily reached rank 9 and RR 8. I had enough Recruit Medallions to buy the Decimator Clogs and I'm slowly working my way towards the chestpiece.
I'm in love with the fact that I can log in after 9:00pm pacific and scenarios are still popping and people are trying to do ORvR. I'm falling in love with Phoenix Throne more and more.
Side note: my friend has finally found the time to download and install WAR. Let's hope these next 10 free days are filled with fun and excitement.
The Adventure Continues.
Last night I sat down and played a little more on Kaeleer, my Runepriest.
This time I focused on finishing the quests I had left in Ch. 2 but mainly wanted to work on my renown rank. When I first queued up for the scenarios I waited about 5 minutes before giving up and logging out. Right as I got to the 5 second mark a scenario popped and I frantically moved and smashed buttons to make sure I stopped logging out. Once accepted and joined I was able to enter into about 5 more before quitting for the night. Order was even on the winning side more often then not. It was great.
I'd forgotten how hard it is to heal at such a low rank. Armed only with a HoT, instant heal, and shield/heal I tried as hard as I could to keep people alive. It became Destructions ultimate goal to gang up and slaughter me. I say slaughter because after trying to kill me one and one, which didn't happen often, they decided it was better to insta-kill me instead. Oh but what fun I was having! Though I never made top healer I was usually second or third. I'm interested to see how well I do once I'm more towards the level cap for Tier 1.
I reached rank 7 and am now RR 6 (from 0). Let's see how much further I can get tonight.
