Oh my GOD, we're besieging Battleon? I am NOT OKAY right now. I can't look (but I will, later this week )!

^ Understandable, this sounds like a pretty big deal. At least this gives everyone, myself included, time to emotionally prepare for what sounds like a heavy chapter.
And, of course, to make as much gold as possible for purchasing items at the end !

Does anyone have any predictions as to how this will all shake out?

I think it's mighty nice of them to halt their invasion until everything is ready. Real good sportsmanship, that is!

 Get ready for War!

I hope you're ready, because we're beginning March with the March on Battleon! For the end of the Rubicon March. I'm clever.

I have to say that the ability to play as War in... wars... is without a doubt one of the greatest additions the game has ever seen. Almost none of my characters can match the speed at which he decimates foes, as they are nearly all slow and steady in their playstyles. It's a great way to even the playing field amongst builds.

 You know, I'm kinda curious. There are three options to fight this war. One as War itself, against the Guardian forces defending Battleon.
There are also two options for fighting against the Praetorian Legion. One as Alex, you're character's #1 Fan, but also as Gnuvian, a supposed shapeshifter who also has access to all of your regular equipment, but is also "Independent" and a "Lorian Genius"

With the two "Anti-Praetorian" options being basically the same, I'm starting to wonder if there may be different outcomes depending on which option is more popular.

In any case, keep up the war effort and have fun all!

Fun release! I'm excited for the conclusion of the Rubicon March story. Also, I second @Ninjaty that letting players play as War is a great addition that evens the playing field for all players, including the many who do not use a warring optimized build. I'd love to see a similar option in future wars for players to play as an NPC with a strong burst skill (like Artix for Undead Wars, Galanoth for Dragon wars, a story NPC like Warlic or Robina for other wars, etc.) to maintain this even playing field.

I have a few questions about the armor reward that I would love an answer to if possible, although I understand if these haven't been decided yet or you want us to wait and see:

(1) Will the "Elite Praetorian Slayer" armor reward for 2500 wins be CC? If not, what color will the recolor be?

(2) The Praetorian Slayer mobs have a skill that uses a speargun on their backs. Assuming this is present in the player version, will the spear gun skill be locked to ranged damage or follow weapon type (melee/ranged/magic)? I would much prefer the latter, which would allow all players (instead of just rangers) to use the armor reward for the finale of an important storyline.

(3) Will the Praetorian Slayer armor dual wield like the mob version, or use a shield in its offhand? If it dual wields, will the offhand weapon be set to the same weapon as shown on the mobs, or will it mirror the weapon the players use? Mirroring the player weapon would be very cool, although likely more difficult to implement.

@PossiblyInsane: I'm fairly certain tracking victories that way would necessitate multiple progress bars and even more planning, writing, and therefore tremendous efforts to drum up player engagement. I think the outcome is already determined, and the rest is purely for flavor reasons.
Similarly, I think the primary differences between Alex and Gnuvain are flavor, name, and pronouns; there's no real impact on gameplay otherwise, except what seems to be some subrace, class, and clan item issues when you shift to Gnuvain.
--

@Gwen: While it's been fun to have NPC guests in past wars, I am seconding, thirding, and fourthing through hundredthing the idea of playing as more NPCs in future wars, especially given this current event and previous campaigns as Warlic, Drakath, etc. It makes the game more interesting from a flavor perspective, definitely lowers the barrier to participation in wars, and is just plain fun.

I've been seeing some truly impressive results on the leaderboard this campaign. Keep it up, guys!

Anyone else have their war kills stuck? Mine is not increasing even though I just did 40 kills.

EDIT: Looks like it because I hit 2 billion gold.

^ Yeah, that'll do it. I've been there before and it's kind of a disappointing rest of the day playing AQ, haha.

It bears us saying this explicitly for anyone reading this who doesn't already know and/or is afraid to ask: Your war wins are limited by hitting your daily gold cap and/or hitting the overall character gold cap of 2 billion; if you're maxed out in either, your battles won't count towards the meter. There are ways to boost your daily cap, as well as ways to store your gold (gold storage chests) so that this doesn't impede you. If you've already hit your daily gold cap, take the opportunity to rest from warring and for server caps to reset (midnight EST).

Have fun, and battle on!

War mobs have a "War Mob" status attached to them. Would it be possible to, mayhaps, halve the amount of gold rewarded?

 I like the new backgrounds. Like these ones in the forest with the Guardian Tower not far away.

Creative!


 Finally got around to playing this release and found out it was a war, and half over already. Been scrambling to try and get to 2500. This might just be my PC and internet, but do Praetorian Juggernauts have a much lower FPS for anybody else?

I also have like all the new backgrounds. Very interested to see how this all plays out for the Chosen.

Most of War's forces have been slowing me down. Fighting as war doesn't have that issue

Obsidia's ghostly spies have a report of additional enemies incoming! The Praetorian Vanguard has opened a new front in the war by cutting off reinforcements from Granemor and ships from the Great Sea, freeing up many Legionaries to join the attack on Battleon!

Secondary reports from allied physicists say that Artix is vibrating dangerously fast at the notion of having to work with undead allies, and it will soon be necessary to water-cool his armor.

Unfortunately, we need to increase the war count to give the team additional time to perfect the epic finale we've planned. Please be assured that the reinforcements are simply a buffer, and the war will conclude as soon as the finale is ready! Unlike previous years, this year's Blarney War is a quest, and you will not have to engage in another war.

I recall it being high 80s% last night but today it's 75%. I assume it's either a bug on my part or the finale needs more prep time so they reduced it to the last cutscene unlock checkpoint.

Perhaps you should direct your eyes to the post directly above yours for a clue as to why the war meter went down in progress.

^ You should see the leaderboard, and just how bloodthirsty people are on Discord over this. I'm afraid there may be no coming back from this fervor

 My apologies folks, I hate doing that right at 97%. To preserve the 75% cutscene accessibility, the additional forces had to be deployed in multiple waves. Ianthe is working on the boss encounter, and everything should be ready to conclude later this week!

At this point, you might as well have made the Blarney War an actual war.

 To clarify, it won't be necessary to hit the final count for the Rubicon March finale war. This is part of the prior emergency delay to let Ianthe work on the finale fight due to circumstances outside of our control disrupting work.

Because of the sheer enthusiasm and effort we've seen players continue to war with in spite of these circumstances, we'll be adding an additional reward to the shop: Hollow made a sizzling golden version of Edge of the End for when the finale is out!


Edit: The war finale is out! Congratulations, everyone!
