Wandering around the warcamp in LOTD yesterday, I noticed there was a new vendor with three new potions purchaseable with scarabs.
A heal potion, an AP potion and a thorn like potion.

6v6 Update
25
May
Alright, so I enjoyed my long weekend and now I need to get this tournament wrapped up soon here.
Last week the big surprise was Third Faction knocking out Team RPD FGT. A few other teams backed out due to member issues and more scheduling issues continue to plague unprepared teams.
This week the challenge as always will be to get scheduling worked out and determine some top teams. Order has a couple strong teams right now, so soon this may be more about trying to rank them.
Team Captains, please check the scheduling forums often this week. (twice daily min) for new posts and to sign in for scheduled matches.
Cheers,
Tyanon.
Patch Days
21
May
1.3.5 in all its cityness glory has rolled onto the live Warhammer online servers, but unfortunately with it, a few minor unexpected bugs. These issues caused a couple maintenance windows to be needed within the first 24hrs. The most complained about one being during primetime for a few hours on the first night.
I have a fairly decent history in MMOs and I feel Mythic has definately earned some small bumps on patch days. So far, every patch I can recall in Warhammer has been pretty flawless in being moved to the live servers. Thinking back to my days of WoW for example, my guild members would always try to plan and schedule raids for patch nights (usually because new content was coming in with most patches), but they would always be disapointed. Either the patching would be incredibly slow, the server would be unstable or the server would be unavailable completely for windows of time in the first couple days.
Also worth another note, when things go wrong like that, we as players lose a few hours of gaming time. The developers and staff in charge of fixing and communicating about the issues are stuck at work until it is fixed. Personally, I went and spent some time with my wife and caught up on some season finales on tv.
zomg, everything costs 5 times more after 1.3.5!

Step 1: Panic
Step 2: Check your currencies, your existing currencies above officer have had the word ancient prefixed to them. If you follow the tooltip for converting the ancients, it will break down into 5 of the actual currency. ie. Ancient Royal will turn into 5 royals.
Step 3: Kill players, token drops are now in bundles of 5.
Step 4: Panic
1.3.5 borked my squared, oh noes!

Patch Day Tommorow?

May
BSD says yes.
Who holds a Sunday city test unless they are trying to make a deadline. Unless something big came up, I would expect that they are aiming for tuesday. Some twitter updates also seem to hint that a patch may be on its way tommorow as well.
Either way, make sure you have your currencies converted the way you want, and get ready for some city fun and loot mayhem.

BSD 6v6 – Round 2 – Elimination Round
17
May
I have waivered back and forth on doing single knockout, double knockout etc.. I have decided that this tournament will be single knockout due to the scheduling issues that have caused so many problems. Future tournaments will most likely run a slightly different format, and certainly more strict. I can also schedule some exhibition matches for next round as well for those that are eliminated.
For Round 2, the matchups will be:
Girls Next Door vs Team Ruination
League of Extraordinarily Gay Gentlemen vs Team Mango
Coalition Saints vs Team Laphraoig
Third Faction vs RPDFGT
Pedobear vs Team Sexy
*MDK is on standbye and may have a bye for this round
BSD 6v6 Update
16
May
Well, we did manage to get some games done this week, and a few that may or may not get their exhibition match done in the next couple days.
Gratz to League of Extraordinarily Gay Gentlemen on their win over the very straight, good looking crew of Laphraoig.
Gratz to Girls Next Door on their win over MDK.
I am setting up the next round as we speak, so get your exhibition matches in asap. Those that have already done their match will pick which team they fight for the next round. The two winners will pick, then the two losing teams will have a pick.
The new schedule method is improved, but it still isn’t working fully. Perhaps this is simply something that won’t be able to be corrected for 6v6. Maybe teams need to be entered in teams of 8-10 members to ensure subs will be available. Maybe we need to look at doing 4s in the future or something… we will see.

In response to the dev discussion that went up this morning changing Scorched Earth and Surging Pain.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
