WAR: Patch 1.2 - Arrives Tomorrow

Tomorrow, the massive and long-anticipated Patch 1.2 will be released. That heralds the arrival of the Choppa and Slayer careers, kicks off the the Bitter Rivals live event content (March 3 - 10), new items, over 500 bug fixes, extensive career balancing, and much more!

Official 1.2 Patch Notes:

• New Careers:
  Players will need to take part in the Bitter Rivals event to unlock these two new careers. Unlocking the characters via the Bitter Rivals event will give early access to the Slayer and Choppa in one week. All others players will gain access one week afterward.
• New Bitter Rivalds Live Event:
  Bitter Rivals focuses on the ancient hatred that burns between the Dwarf and Greenskin races. Millennia of conflict in the Worlds Edge Mountains have honed the enmity that exists between the Orcs and Goblins and the stout Dwarfs to a razor-sharp edge, and when these nemeses meet in battle, it is war without mercy.
  
• Twisting Tower Scenario:
  New Tier 4 Scenario was found deep in the heart of the maddening Chaos Wastes.
• Rallying Cry System:
  The new Open RvR Rallying Cry system that summons you to key battles for Tiers 1 and 2. The new Zone Control Domination System for Tiers 2 through 4 rewards a realm that truly conquers the battlefield. Also, many improvements to siege weapons ensure that the mighty engines of war are now more lethally effective than ever
• New Items:
  New treasures await! Across-the-board itemization improvements have been made to the Fortresses, world dungeons, and city dungeons of WAR, including better world drops, quest rewards, Influence rewards, and more!
• Crafting System Improvements:
  Many improvements were brought to the game's crafting system, including pairing-off specific gathering skills with specific production skills in order to make crafters more self-sufficient. Also, the leveling curve of trade skills has been improved and fewer components are required to create items. Last, but certainly not least, is the addition of new craftable items!
• New Easy Public Quests:
  Easy Public Quests make their debut in Tiers 2, 3, and 4. Scaled for courageous bands of 1 to 3 adventurers, these Public Quests offer a rewarding PvE experience without a large commitment of forces. You'll find one Easy Public Quest in each Chapter.
• Mail System Improvemengts:
  Now you can send several attached items with a single mail message.
• New Secret Lairs:
  Two new secret lairs await! Finding the new hidden lairs is only half the battle. Figuring out how to open the door - and surviving the dangers inside - is another matter, entirely!
• Content:
  The Open Party button has finally severed its ties to the player portrait and moved to the Menu Bar. This new Parties and Warbands window now has all information about Open Parties and Party Management, as well as the new Looking for Group system.
