You mentioned buying 2 copies so that both you and your boyfriend could play... so I assume that means you have two PCs right? Did you try installing it on his PC? Did you get the same or different results.
Also, one other thing... your PC does have a DVD drive, right? Because the disc is a DVD, not CD.
What seems to be the most popular Order race since stunties seem to me lacking on my server? I assume those fancypants elves? I'll probably try the dark elf area first if that seems to be the case.

Like WOW, WAR doesn't care where it lives or have any need for it's installer beyond being nice and making icons. You can just plop a copy of the folder anywhere on your PC via network share and run with it.
Bright Wizards are the most popular race.
I'm pretty sure they're forming their own nation and declaring independence from the Empire.
I actually almost regret levelling up my Chosen last night, after getting a better look at what Ironbreakers have.
Yeah, I'm even seeing PQ bag loot that I don't even want. Some of the Herder stuff is messed up IMO, what's +int doing on Herder stuff?
But anyway, I think starting in T2 (at least this is when I noticed it) the mobs you kill for the PQ start dropping decent stuff. I got more nice stuff from March PQs from the individual mobs than from the Bloody Fen PQ.
And I saw some nice stuff from the Wall PQ in Barak Varr.
Getting +500 for getting first, and then +100-300 for persistence (doing the PQ multiple) times gives you a huge advantage over other folks.
Getting 1st place in contribution does not entitle you do loot. It just gives you a measurable thing that makes you think you are entitled to loot.
Just imagine if there was no contribution, and it was just a random roll of 1-1000. You would still be losing the rolls anyway.
You are actually winning more rolls with the +500 or +450, you just don't take as much note of them because you won. The losses are what stick out, and why people complain. No one complains about winning.
PQs are a fantastic mechanic, and I'm having a ton of fun doing them. I've never had so many really fun, random group experiences before in an MMO. People are actually working together, and then sticking around to do the PQ multiple times. It's great xp and great loot (random dropped, PQ bag and Inf reward).

No, I've seen people with +200 and +300 persistence bonuses.
You mean pick the green bag if you won the blue? Or something?
Every bag gives the options of the lower bag's loot, but you can't purposely not take the bag. I do believe you can trade the unopened bag, however. I've never tried, the message is simply that items IN it may be BoP.
Ok, so the UI just doesn't list it as a number, like the contribution bonus does? I see the blue icon, and don't see it change.
2nd try = +100
3rd try = +200
4th try = +300
That's the most I've seen personally. I usually get the smaller loot bag by the 3rd try, I've only gone over once or twice.
Sometimes you'll see +0, and I think that happens if you die or something. Not sure if there really is no bonus, or if it's a display error.
You have to mouse over the icon to see the actual + number.
I found this to be true as well. Last night, through some awesome Scenarios (a huuuge change from my previous experiences), I gained a new Renown Rank and so headed on over to a Keep to purchase some new Renown gear. I went on my merry way with questing and the like, and ended up in a Chapter 8 PQ. Before I'd even hit the first Influence reward point, the PQ mobs had dropped loot which replaced both the new weapon and shield that I'd gotten from Renown. I'm not even talking about a loot bag here (which itself had a sweet reward), but this is just from the random drops! Of course, joining the open warband that was going on helped because, as I mentioned yesterday, PQs are so, so much more efficient in a group, even a random PUG-type.
Speaking of Scenarios, I actually gained some measure of appreciation for Mourkain's last night. When my side isn't getting completely rolled, that game can actually be a lot of fun. It's hectic and there is constant battle taking place... no spending the entire thing defending some stupid base that never gets attacked, no! Everybody is in the thick of things, either trying to kill the enemy token-bearer or defending their own.
Also, Thul killed me.
Yeah, joining the warband is basically necessary. You can only really hope for high rolls to win anything if you're not. And not being in a group basically means no dropped loot for you.
So, better xp, better inf, chance at loot for being in the warband.
Also, if you're not in the group/warband you're not getting healed either
One thing I find interesting is to look at the lists of loot in wardb.com for the PQs. You can easily tell what PQs folks are doing and which ones they're not doing. Some have full lists of all the classes gear, some have ony a couple classes worth of gear.
Either that or not many folks have the Curse thing.
How can you see the persistance bonus? It's just an icon as far as I can see. I'm guessing you added up your score to see that.
I think the system for rolling loot is overall fair, but I swear it feels like whenever I'm at the top of the list I roll really low (11 is my worse) and when I just pop in at the end drop a couple heals on the last boss do just enough to qualify I roll in the 900's. I guess it all evens out in the end.
Mouseover the icon. In general, that's a good practice for anything in the game.
If you also ordered from the Source, they lied. The shipment didn't make it to their warehouse in Barrie until Sunday. Monday, they hadn't yet sent them out.
Hmm, could have sworn I tried that and saw nothing.
Same thing for all of the icons on the final score of a scenario, no mouseover tooltip.
... those have tooltips as well.
I love the PQs but more than a few times I have walked into a scenario already underway maybe helped kill 2 guys and walked away with prizes. One in particular was quite interesting, me and another guy come onto a PQ that was almost done, the Hero was up and getting beat down, we join in on killing him and walk away with 3 and 4 place prizes (green bags)
while I dont mind getting prizes for no work it did seem a bit unfair.
I specifically did that in the past after not getting loot a couple times in a row and nothing popped up. Are you sure?
Yeah. It might be after the roll is over, but it does show. It will have a rather large tooltip and the actual roll bonus is listed at the bottom of it.
No. This is over. No more debate and haberdashery about cut classes/cities.
So they didn't give a reason?
If a certain combo of matts explodes at the "might be stable" level, it will always explode. There is no random factor, so find a different combination.
They did, but we've discussed this one million god damn times and people keep coming out of the wood works asking. Google it. Every article published around the time of the announcement cite the reasons.
Figgy.
Will you father my children?
That seems like a lot of words that could have been used to talk about warhammer.
I'd rather discuss why I'm not going to talk about the issue because they aren't the same words that I've used 30 times. It's been over 5 minutes since your first post about it. You could have read a few articles about it by now: click here
I seem to have killed many of my own. I need a title for this. Mythic, are you listening?
Edit: to add to the convo
And I agree Temple really can be a ton of fun if you have a well rounded group and some communication. It can get very crazy. Some of the recaptures last night were just great. Mugg had I think two spectacular ones where Order would grab it from us and run off only to have mugg on the back waiting for em. Really fun.
I'm rolling Order on Ironfist with my local Games Workshop crew, and Chaos with Penny Arcade. I hope they don't mind another shaman!
I joined a stonetroll crossing scenario, and I was queued for mourkain temple at the same time that I was queued for stonetroll. I assumed I would lose the mourkain queue by joining the stonetroll one, so I went on my merry way, killing orcs and being a stunty. So then, about halfway through the stonetroll, mourkain temple popped up as being available. I was like... whaaaa? I decided to test it out and join anyway, and that's when it got weird. My timer at the top right said Stonetroll Crossing, with the stonetroll capture points, even though I was in Mourkain temple. Then after the mourkain temple ended, it teleported me back into a completely empty stonetroll... I was able to go pick up the troll pacifier and run around and stuff.
I tried my book of binding, which didn't do anything (and set the cooldown to 1h). So I typed /stuck, which logged me out and back in, and when I logged back in, I was in a stonetroll crossing scenario filled with other players!!! Order had 13 players to destruction's 12... After that, it finally let me out back to the zone that I started in. But boy was it shenanigans!
You need to use a higher level "don't explode, please" ingredient, or two of the level 1 items. It's just a hard and fast rule for al level 25 main ingredients. You kinda have to tinker to figure some of it out.
