Month: March 2009
Kiara chimed in this evening with this news: This is a head’s up to let you know that we’ll be bringing the servers down tomorrow morning to push Elements of Corruption (GU #51) live! Unless of course the “big one” hits and Southern California drops into the ocean… In that case, it might be delayed again… In addition to this, Vivox will be updating voice chat, so it will be unavailable across all games. The estimated time for the servers to come down is 7am PDT. If there are any changes to the plan, we’ll let you know.
While we do not have a date yet for GU51 (The Lavastorm Revamp, now minus the Fighter Revamp), we now know that it will be released sooner rather than later, with as many of the fixes, improvements, and content as possible, excluding the much maligned Fighter Revamp. Kiara posted: The Lavastorm changes ARE going to be pushed live. Right now they’re being separated from the fighter changes so that we can push them live (and a little extra polish is being thrown on as well). I don’t have an exact date yet for the Lavastorm changes going live, but...
After the deafening silence of the last 3 weeks with regards to the Fighter Revamp and the state of GU51 in general, we’ve got a response on March 17 from none other than Bruce Ferguson, Producer of EQ2. Read it Here. The changes made with the initial release of the fighter revamp (on the Test server) need to be removed. However, rather than just roll back your characters to when we first introduced the changes on Test back in January; we’re going to need to split out the consolidated spells, which will reset them to Adept 1. For our...
Looks like Game Update 51 — Elements of Corruption — including the Lavastorm revamp, new x2, x4 raid zones, T3 armor, and fighter revamp have been further delayed. From a March 9, 2009 post on EQ2Players: As many of you know, we’ve been working on Elements of Corruption (Game Update 51) for some time…there really is a lot of good stuff coming, including new zones, new raids, new quests, a revamp of Lavastorm, the list seems endless. However, we’re not quite ready to release it. I know many of you were expecting us to do so this week or next,...
Here is the new Tier 3 Void Shard Armor. NEWLY REVISED FOR 3/4/09 — T3 Set Bonuses have been adjusted. Note: Just in case it’s not clear, I have Photoshopped out the Set Bonuses from all but 1 item in each screen shot. Every T3 Void Shard Armor set has set bonuses for having (2), (3), (5), and (7) pieces from the set. Bard, Enchanter, Predator Druid, Rogue, Cleric Summoner, Sorcerer, Shaman* * You know those whacky Shamans… always running around buck naked wearing just twigs and funny hats. 
Actual screen shots BTW. Crusader, Brawler, Warrior [placeholder] Bard/Shaman,...

Ok, I hopped over to Test and got the scoop on how the T3 Void Shard Armor seems to work. There are two NPCs: Assilus Poisonbolt <Elemental Pattern Quartermaster> Borden Chargehammer <Elite Void Shard Armor Quartermaster> As you run the new x2 Raid Zone “The Ward of Elements”, one or more Molds will drop from raid bosses. To buy your T3 Void Shard Armor Pattern from Assilus, you must have the necessary Mold and the requisite number of Void Shards. Borden will take your Pattern and the requisite T2 Void Shard Armor piece and turn it into a T3...
Originally posted by Kirstie at EQ2 Forums: We have some exciting new features in the works for EQII! One of the first we’ll be talking about is Research Assistants. These hardworking researchers will help you acquire upgrades to your spells and combat arts while you’re off adventuring in the deepest darkest dungeon or asleep in your own warm cozy bed. Even though they’re hardworking, they’re not a speedy service and they are limited in how much they’ll help you. Because this kind of research is complicated, they’ll only be able to work on one spell or combat art for...
Recently players noticed that they were unable to start Commisioned crafting of void shard items if the crafter was in possession of the void shard. Emily “Domino” Taylor, EQII Tradeskill Developer, responded on the Official Forums: “The transfer of no-trade items (including void shards) via commission crafting was unintended. Going forward, you can expect that this kind of transfer will not be possible. A recipe that requires a no-trade item to make and produces a no-trade product, should require all of those no-trade components to be held by the person who is going to end up with the final...
