This month in the WAR Closed Beta, testers had their first glimpse of the Tier 4 campaign as the forces of the Empire and Chaos battled their way through Tiers 3 and 4! The test concluded with the players ready to take down the gates of Altdorf. A sampling of what players experienced included: - Empire and Chaos Tiers 3 and 4 - In-Game Mail - Siege Testing - Campaign Testing - and Fortresses Twelve careers open, with Career Mastery included: Order High Elf: Swordmaster, Archmage, Shadow Warrior Empire: Witch Hunter, Bright Wizard, Warrior Priest Destruction Dark Elf: Disciple of Khaine, Witch Elf, Sorceress Chaos: Chosen, Zealot, Marauder The first phase of the test focused on updated PvE content, careers, and Open World RvR. Testers began in Tier 3 with Rank 20 characters ready to charge into WAR. The second phase focused on the Campaign itself. Order and Destruction were pitted against each other in Tier 4 with Rank 40 characters to lay siege to Fortresses and Keeps! Next month players will charge into Altdorf to experience sacking, pillaging and burning the city! Here are some exciting insights that testers had as they explored the areas of Talabecland and High Pass: "Nice flow, good storyline, LOVED the talking boss on a floating disc! Eeeep runaway!!" (Level 20 Archmage) "Just the whole layout of everything comes together quite nice. It feels good to be able to wander around and get quests done at the same time, not to mention come across a couple Public Quests along the way. Thanks guys, and keep up the great work!!" (Level 21 Archmage)  "I don't have much time to play right now so I logged in to see what changed. This game just gets better and better every phase! The UI looks much better, new abilities are ALWAYS welcome! You guys are great, keep up the work." (Level 20 Disciple) "I love it here! I like how to avoid blowing up in a huge fireball, you need to use ALL your abilities and weave them together. Really makes the class complex and fun." (Level 22 Bright Wizard) "Excellent game play design for the Marauder. The mutations are an excellent addition to the game." (Level 20 Marauder)
