EA Predator mit den letzten News über den RotWK Patch 1.01. Ein Beta Patch, der sich Automatisch Installiert wird nächste Woche kommen. Der Offizielle Patch kommt dann ende des Monats. Einige der Änderungen über Angmar sind Aufgedeckt worden :
Hey guys,[MEHR]So, i’ve been waiting to post more info on this until I had something more concrete to say. You guys are talking about the coming of jesus before a patch, well, I am hear to say the
patch will come first, and thats a promise. We’ve been working on the balance for this patch and wanting to ensure we hit all of the major exploitative issues.Right now Battlefield is doing a beta test for their 1.20 patch which is basically just a way to get the community playing the patch while it goes through the final approval. This is something I am pressing hard for on our end and should work out. The patch is getting some initial QA on it right now and by the end of the week, we should have a build ready to make available for download early next week. My hope is within a week you’ll be playing on beta version of patch 1.01 for ROTWK. Note that, you’ll only be able to play against people who have downloaded the patch manually. Once it officially releases later this month, then everything will be automatic as usual.
So, we’ve taken a bunch of critical changes from patch 1.05 and put them in ROTWK, things like overall hero armor, the Axe Thrower spam, the Archer range bonus issue, infantry and cavalry unit damage changes across the board, fellbeast change, etc. In a nutshell, this is going to be a fairly massive balance patch.
Here is a preview look at some things being done to Angmar, a lot of these stem from comments on the boards and much internal testing, and as usual, please do not be quick to flame before you play, wanted to give you a preview at whats to come from one of the 7 factions, damn that is a lot:
