Ahoy Bats!

It would appear that there is new content to be tested on the test server. Which means more content soon with new patch.

Link with information can be found below:

A few changes of note that are making me rather pleased:

Conquest
1) Addition of theft missions so we can actually drop the whole worrying about owning hexes if we want to.
2) Addition of SHIELDING facilities that will allow for shielding two hexes for every shielding facility. These shield maps will be 'control' map based, and will thus introduce control to AvA. Favouring a diverse teams that is able to split itself into two.
3) Changes to the tax system that will be in favour of those who have hexes close to HQ. (Not sure if this means having more or less members matters anymore.. guess that requires some research)

PvP
4) Addition of 4v4 PvP combat! Which means we can rule out idiots (unless we allow pugs, naturally)

Overall. Solid additions to functionality if you ask me. Still functionality is functionality which makes me happy. Can't wait to see what they cook up specifically for 1.3 teehee.

How does one get onto the test server?  Best time I ever had was on DAoC's test server (Pendragon?).

open your steam client and go to your Tools tab. There will be a GA PTS download there and its easy going from there.

Thanks, I thought for sure you were going to say something in the line of "If your not in your screwed", or some such.

I will definitely be giving this a looksee.
