Community address starting now. Brenlo getting the crowd riled up for Smedley. SoE game montage.
Parsing Gravitas, Cures, CoB, etc. Will consider it. Determining where guild rally flag is located? Some coming has already been done for this. Auto mentoring – hail an npc and mentor to a level in 5 level increments. Old quest completion missions. Probably not on PvP. Daily double shard zone in Welcome window or MOTD? Possible. Achievements (like CoH or Xbox Live) like 500 kills, 20 heritage quests, etc. In a new tab in the quest window. Current tier upgrades are coming for bone clasped gridle. Not so much for the bloodthirsty choker. 🙂 Streamling buffing for classes. Buffing...
Some seriously funny, cool, and creative new mob designs and revamped appearances to some existing mobs. More interesting animations. * fighting pandas * displacer beasts * two headed giants * stalagmites * scarecrows Random illusion appearances driving you crazy? Looking at a possibly a Magic Mirror house item to save illusion setups. Npcs only have about 50 animations. Players have about 1,000 animations. Kelethin houses will get a transparent window. Both Kelethin and Neriak houses will have more rooms. Male ratongas with whiskers but without glasses? We’ll look into it. Illusion picker UI to switch illusions in development. Devs...
The comprehensive writeups on Fan Faire and the events and photos are always worth a read if you couldn’t make it. I admit I’m all about the details and the expansion news. I don’t try to cover the whole event as others do that better than I can… One writeup I want to mention is CompleteHeal. Calthine (great to meet her of course!) has a writeup at Zam as well. I took some pics of the event last night, some general Fan Faire pics, and of course lots of pics from the EQ2Flames gathering last night. Hope to get them up...
An interesting day indeed, talking about the game. As much as people may doubt it, most of the Devs really do listen and want folks to play the game. It would pretty dumb if they didn’t. They know the mistakes of Kunark, and the issues (to a lesser extent) in TSO. Oh and talking to Pantz, Crabbok, Atan, and more isn’t too shabby either. Record turnout for the eq2flames mashup. WTF are you Gage? 😛
