The war is underway, and you have pledged yourself to the cause of Order, or of Destruction, to take up arms and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your realm-mates on the field of battle. You have banded together and faced mighty opponents, crushed enemy keeps, and raised your banner over battlefields littered with the dead.
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning is about to get more savage as the frenzied Slayers and the brutal Choppas enter the fray and vie for domination of the Warhammer world.
The "Bitter Rivals" live event starts tomorrow, February 24. Once logged into WAR players will see a new tab in the Tome of Knowledge. Clicking on this tab will open the Live Events page, where each day EA/Mythic will place a special new daily task. Completing these daily tasks earns influence, just like you'd earn in a public quest. There are rewards for Basic, Advanced and Elite influence, culminating in the ultimate prize: the chance to play WAR's new classes a full week before they're released to the public! To earn this last reward players will have to get to the Elite level by logging in each day and completing the daily event.
A new scenario you say? Bitter Rivals players will also be able to participate in a new RvR scenario, "the Twisting Tower", which will only be available to players for the duration of this live event. This scenario takes players to a ruined Chaos temple hovering above a mighty vortex in the Tier 4 zone: The Chaos Wastes, where they battle for control of different levels of the temple-with a very special surprise to those players who succeed in capturing all three. This new scenario will be available for players of all levels, on all tiers, but will not contribute to the campaign. Participation in this scenario will give players an extra 10% bonus to their Renown point gain.
Not only do you get a chance at early access to the new Slayer and Choppa careers, among the many spoils earned during this event are a special potion and a unique siege weapon for each realm.
Here's the list of rewards for this event:
Basic - Bitter Brew: Unlocks exclusive event titles
Advanced - Exclusive Bitter Rivals siege weapons: Giants and Flame Cannons
Elite - Unlock the Slayer and the Choppa for Head Start Play!!!
World Drop - Broken Axe/Notched Choppa (grants event exclusive titles) and Grimnir's Mercy/Redfang Grog (grants an attack speed buff!)
