Many playes have a long time longing for Warhammer Online, which is also called Age of Reckoing. Now let''s see what surprise Warhammer brings to us.
Create your account
When you try to log in Warhammer Online to play, you should create a new character for yourself. There are two camps and three armies you can choose, one is Order, including Dwarfs, Empire, and high Elves, another one is Destructions, including Greenskins, Chaos and Dark elves. And you can only choose one of them. Once you choose one, you can not create the character in the opposite armies.
Each army has three professions available for selection. Taking Greenskills for example, you can choose to be a Black Orc, or a Shaman or a Squig Herder. But the real figure is not as cool as the picture you see on the preview column. I tried Black Orc, but it looks like a farmer used to cutting trees.
You can figure how it looks like when you create a character in Warhammer Online. Such as Black Orc, you can change the facial form, the exposed teeth, a knife cut on the face, the skin and so on. If you want to look fierce, you''d better choose half-borken tooth, looks like you experienced a lot in the battled field. And below we will tell the story in the view of Greenskins.
Mission in Warhammer Online
After you succeed to have a character, you will be in Mount Bolldhorn, your borne place, where there is a lot of simple Greenskin-style buildings. Look at the map at the top right you can see some green points, which indicate the location of NPC, who will assign your work. When we are close to NPC, you can see a image of a green book, click it to accept the mission.
The task is not so difficult to finish at the first time, as theconfrontation of Greenskins are dwarfs in another camp, so here the majority of tasks are about the confrontation with dwarfs. Such as killing the dwarfs in the mineral field, dirty the statue of dwarfs and so on. After you done about four or five tasks, you will get a formal mission to attack the fortress of the dwarfs with a special Greenskin-style attacking way. Yea, that is put yourself in trebuchet and launched. It reminds us of the orc before hitting the wall in the advocating film. Fortunately, I arrived the wall of fortress safely.
When you arrived at the fortress, you will receive more tasks, such as the basic killing more dwarves, putting the bodies of the dwarves into barrels and roll down Hill, destroying their artillery and their text priests, then penetrate his head through the sword. As the tasks are being conducted, experience wealth will grow and you can get better equipment.
Warhammer Online stresses the war between the playess, so the PVE missions are very simple. Even you are assigned to do fight a special monster or collect specfic items, you don''t need to worry about it. Because the number of requests are very small, it is about 3-6. And the monsters were borne fast and grow fast. And the items in the mission are 100 percent to pick up, so everything goes well upgrading process of the task.
In Warhammer Online, there is clear task guidance. As long as the player accept the task, there are some guidance in the map. The task place will be pointed by red lines and tell you how many and what kind of tasks. So it is less likely to come to that you can''t find the monster or finish the mission.
Special "Public Quest" in Warhammer Online
Warhammer Online has the so-called "Public Quest", and we will use PQ in the following text.
PQ is in a particular region. all the players in the region will trigger it in some times after you reset the game. To a Greenskin player, he will trigger the first PQ place. That is Ugrog''s Bash where there will be a giant called Ugrog appears from time to time. All the playes would trigger the task named "Ugrog''s Rage". The mission is divided into three phases. In the first stage, some Squig Herders run closer then away continuously, so the giant order all the players to kill these boring Squig Herders. When the players in the region begin to slaughter these Squig Herders, and when all the players killed 30 Squig Herders, they entered the second stage.
In second stage, the giant requests the players to get enough alcohol for him to drink. All of the players start to find him alcohol. They just need to pick up the barrels in the ground easily. When they get 20 barrels of alcohol for the giant, he will be drunk. Then he will take the big bomb besides him and run to the fortress of the dwarfs. In a huge explosion, the giant explored the door of the fortress with his life.
Then they come to the third stage. Dulgrek ironmane, the captain of dwarfs will run out and command several waves of attacks to the players at the door of fortress, though usually the dwarfs team will be killed in less than 10 seconds. After 3 times or 4 times attacking, Dulgrek will follow out with his two subordinates. Although Dulgrek is very strong and brave, he can''t stand long time fighting with many enemies. He finally falls down on the ground and die. When Dulgrek and his two subordinates have been killed, this PQ completed.
At this moment, it is time to carry out all the players contribution. As long as you take part in PQ, and you doing something in the process of PQ, such as to make more blood, help fight for Buff, or you are under injury such as tanks, and other things, all of them will be converted to value of Contribution. When do the PQ settlement, these players will take part in throwing dice, and the dice points with your value of contribution will be your final score. It will rank all the scores of players. When the total is clear out, there will be valued box in the central region, which is available for the top players in the ranking to open. It will provide different incentives to your choice, such as money, equipment, raw materials and so on. The toper you are, the better thing you will get.
Basically, players don''t concern if the lazy people can get the items. Because the game has set a minimum value of the contribution, if your value is under the minimum value, you have no permission to take part in throwing dice. Then no one can rely on his luck for dice to get good luck equipment.
If you are not so lucky that you can''t dice the equipment each time, it is also ok. In Warhammer Online, each PQ has its own tribute in its special region. You just need to do PQ to enhance contributions to the PQ. The value of contribution of each region is divided into three grades, of ordinary class can receive medicine award, advanced class can receive a general equipment, and the elite class can receive a high-level equipment.
