On Thursday, September 20th, Linda “Brasse” Carlson, Director of Global Community Relations, and Jen Belfield, Director of Marketing Services (or Events Coordinator) held a webcast about the upcoming SOE Live 2012 on Twitch.TV: We’re now 10 days away from SOE Live and I figured I should probably watch this webcast and glean some notes from it before it’s too late.
Month: October 2012
From the EQ2 Forums: ITEMS Hoop of Draconic Fervor – fixed an issue with the heal/ward increase portion of this proc not applying. Vallon’s Chestplate of Cold Determination now has Wisdom additionally to its other stats. Sullon’s Rage Imbued Greaves of Slaughter are now chain armor. Classes that can use them remain the same.
For months, the question in my mind has not been IF, but WHEN the SOE forums would need to be replaced. On September 18th, word broke on the Vanguard forums that SOE will finally be leaving their crufty homegrown forum solution behind in favor of new forum software. After the jump, we look at why new forum software is absolutely imperative, and just what will happen to the millions of existing forum posts amassed over the last 5 1/2 years.
From the EQ2 Forums: Player Studio™ is an exciting new program that offers players the opportunity to create in-game items! In this week’s webcast Linda “Brasse” Carlson (Director, Global Community Relations) will interview Joe Shoopack (Director of Artistic Development) and Rick Reynolds (Sr. Manager, E-Commerce) to get the inside scoop on Player Studio™.
In the weeks or months leading up to a new Game Update or Expansion, players have come to expect the familiar call to Testers to try out new Group or Raid content. Sometimes a specific schedule is posted, with developer chaperones to monitor player reaction to encounters, zone design, and so forth. At other times, testing as at-your-own pace. Either way, Bug Reports are collected and placed in a queue to be fixed at some future date. If any “show stopping” bugs occurred during this Testing, such as a boss that would not spawn or could not be defeated,...
From the EQ2 Forums: POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION Sleeper’s Tomb: A Temporal Leap (Raid) Drakeen should hit significantly less hard with auto-attacks. Tower of Frozen Shadow (Raid) Killing Spectral Librarian Emiida and the Shadowed Tome of Ages Past should more reliably flag as completed when it comes to opening the portal to Tserrina. ITEMS Fixed a combine issue with Sullon’s Vengul Wrath. Kraden, Eradication Blade: The effect Reign of Terror will now proc properly. Earring of Dissonant Cries: The effect Glorious Rout no longer suggests that it debuffs crit bonus and now has riposte chance. Vallon’s Whetstone of Cunning...
From Ahma on the EQ2 Forums: Hey folks! As GM Feyodor said, this is a display issue only. People can win the Majestic Pridewing from the Goblin Games–and there are a number who have won it. The Pridewing is an elusive beast, though. Sorry for the confusion on the loot list. We’re getting that fixed right now.
