How to Use and Install Warhammer Online Addons
Warhammer Online addons is a great feature that was developed to enhance a player’s usability. With addons and mods they can customize their entire interface just the way they like it. It can even add additional features that EA Mythic did not create. A player can customize their user interface to their own preference.
Warhammer Online addons are often mistaken as hacks and cheats but they are actually not. They are actually fully supported by the publishers. EA Mythic created an API system which allows for players to build addons. A player with some knowledge of programming can easily create their own addon and customize all of their user interface as well as other parts of the game. Even without any knowledge of the API or programming, a player can still easily take advantage of addons already created and use them like they were their own. To install an addon you’ve downloaded, all you simply need to do is navigate to your Warhammer folder which by default is located at C:program filesElectronic ArtsWarhammer. Once there you may need to create an interface folder followed by an Addons folder inside the interface folder. If these directories are already created then you do not need to worry. The addon files you’ve downloaded are usually in a zip or rar format. If this is the case, you’ll need to download Winzip or Winrar to extract the original files. Once that is done, just copy your addon you’ve downloaded into your addons folder. Once you start the game your addons will be active. Beware when downloading an addon that requires you to run the file. There is never an addon in .exe format. These are usually viruses and Trojans used to steal your Warhammer Online account and password. Also note that some addons may be out of date due patches released by EA Mythic. Always make sure you have the most up to date version of the addon you are using. Another thing to remember is that some addons may have special slash commands that can be used in the game chat interface. You will need to refer to the manual of your addon for more information. There are over thousands of addons already created that players can use. Some popular ones are map mods. You can find locations of mobs, items, a loot table, quest locations, NPCs and much more. Auctioneer is also another popular addon which records and analyzes data from the auction house. It keeps track of every item sold in, the price it went for, the average price, the minimum price, the maximum price and much more. There are also many great mods to help RvR and PvE battles. Damage meters are great to help measure the amount of threat generated on a mob. This helps keeps aggro on the tank. Every player is required to synchronize their meter together in order to determine how much threat is being generated and passed around. Healers and high damage dealers will need to watch this meter to make sure they do not pass the tanks threat towards a mob. There are also many small Warhammer addons that can be extremely helpful. Some addons may tell you when your morale bar is full and ready to be used or when an ability becomes available after a cool down. Some addons even gives you a signal or notifies you that your health bar is low or your action bar is low so that you can take action to run, heal or whatever you think may be best for your situation. If you have been playing the game for over 2 weeks and yet still have not installed an addon then you are simply missing out on cool features that will make your life easier. From over thousands of addons and mods to choose from, I’m sure there is at least 5 that will suit you and improve your game play. |
Benefits of a Warhammer Online Wiki
A Warhammer Online wiki is a great source to collaborate information on the popular MMORPG Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Every visitor can share their wealth of knowledge making it a centralized location of information.
Wikis are great sites to collaborate information, even for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. There is a ton of information in the world of Warhammer Online; over 20 different scenarios, four thousand quests, thousands of items, NPCs and much more. A War wiki is a great place to centralize that information and build a great informative community to help other players. The wiki relies heavily on the Warhammer Online community to develop its growth and accuracy of information. Every person who visits a Warhammer Online wiki has access to edit, delete and contribute information to improve the content. It is a forever growing entity that continues to be developed by the owners and visitors. Every edit is logged in case of abuse or the previous edit was better and can be reverted. You can see as each page develops and the entire history of how it evolved. Volunteers and staff are required to monitor all the information inputted from the community to assure it meets guidelines and are of quality and not just spam. If you’re unable to find the information you’re looking for at the time you visit, you can always check back at a later time or if you found what you’re looking you can always share it on the wiki. There is a discussion page on each content page which acts as a forum. You can request for updates, information, add comments or just chat away. You can find direct help from other members as you would on a forum. We all know how popular Wikipedia is. They are the world’s largest encyclopedia. Their information is great but there are certain topics which are not covered in depth. With a game like Warhammer Online, their world is huge and forever changing. Patches are released approximately twice a month with new content and changes to the current environment. Without the help of a large community it does become difficult for a wiki to have the most updated information unless they have a large amount of volunteer writers or staffs who contributes to that information as well. Wikis have their own built in search engine for you to find the information you need but like most things in life, it is never perfect. Broadening your search term or using different spelling variations may help with what you’re looking for. For example, instead of searching for “beginning quests for Chosen” you can instead search for “quests” and see what links become available to you. Wiki engine uses a rather different engine and many people may have trouble finding the information they’re looking for even if it is available. An alternative is using the most popular search engine Google as a medium. You can search the specific site followed by the information you’re looking for. An example would be “site:domain beginning quests for Sorcerer”. Down to the core, wikis are a great place to find and exchange information. With a great team behind the wiki would be a good start but with a large community helping it can be the best source of information for Warhammer Online. If you find something useful in a wiki then give a little back to the community who gave you that information. Become a “good internet citizen” and share your wealth of knowledge. You will be recognized in the community and will receive great respect and help when needed. |
