I have been remiss in reporting on this, as the bombshell came nearly a month ago. Emily “Domino” Taylor, Tradeskill maven in EverQuest II for nearly a decade, will be leaving Daybreak Games and heading home to her native Canada. John Smedley leaked the news on Twitter in advance of Emily’s planned announcement. Anyone who follows her on Twitter has A) learned a lot about baking and B) knows that she endured a month’s stranding in Canada by US Customs in December 2015/January 2016 despite having a valid work visa. After that unbelievable inconvenience, it seems more than plausible that she...
From the EQ2 Forums: POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION General Corrected an issue with expert zone encounter mitigation where it was not applying the full mitigation package for some encounters. Raids Corrected an issue that caused all players zoning into the Crypt of Dalnir: The Kly Stronghold [Expert-Raid] and Arcanna’se Spire: Order and Chaos [Expert-Raid] to be put into their own instance. Xalgoz should no longer cast his heals during the few seconds he is looking for a new target. Boss progression in expert raid zones have become a bit more strict. For example, the first boss needs to be...
After eight and a half years, it is time for me to step back and see if there is anyone else in the EverQuest II community with writing ability and a desire to lend their voice to this site. I have barely played EQ2 in the last few years and it shows in the lack of coverage exhibited. Other than Update Notes, there has been limited discussion about the Kunark Ascending expansion, the race to discover Epic 2.0 Weapons, Public Quests, Burnt Keys, and all other elements of gameplay which EverQuest II players wish to know about. Keeping this site...
From EverQuest2.com: The dungeons and raids of Kunark Ascending are now even more dangerous! Today, with the introduction of Expert dungeons and raids, players will be able to experience a more challenging version of this great content. Speak to Prissaia, the Expert Dungeon Portal Summoner, within Crusdaers’ Cave in the Obulus Frontier zone to begin an Expert instance. The following dungeons are now available in Expert Mode: Arcanna’se Spire: Vessel of the Sorceress Arcanna’se Spire: Forgotten Sanctum Arcanna’se Spire: Repository of Secrets Kaesora: Tomb of the Venerated Kaesora: Xalgozian Stronghold The Ruins of Cabilis Crypt of Dalnir: Wizard’s Den...
I’d heard some of this information from the Discord chat but I’ve been asked not to repost said information here until it’s official. So, here’s the official thingy from the EQ2 Forums: ASCENSION Members now receive five bonus Guided Ascension scrolls per week from the Ascension masters. When these bonus scrolls are claimed you will be not be able to receive any more bonus scrolls for six days and 20 hours. Ascension Masters will now continue to grant Guided Ascension scrolls until all four Ascension classes are level 10. You are still limited to one scroll per day. EXPERT ZONES...
This survey seems to be going out to certain EQ2 players and apparently it will be sent out on a semi-periodic basis, perhaps quarterly. I received a copy on each of the e-mail addresses associated with my accounts: 1. Do you approve or disapprove of the way the EverQuest II development team is developing the game? Approve Disapprove No Opinion 2. How would you rate your enjoyment playing the latest expansion, Kunark Ascending?
