Taasi: ther has never been balance in eq2
Shumadan: Hi Kander!
Taasi: some classes have always been flavour of an expansion

Mandragore: Will DDs be viable again aside from Ascensions?
Willrob: Hi kander , any update on when account wise tithe will be introduced ?
Kander: Hyrisor – We plan to be as transparent as possible with changes for class balance. We will be very active and open about them during the expansion beta. We do have some tweaks coming on May 2nd as well.
Caith: Errrorrorrer – The level 101-110 spells will combine multiple class spells into a single spell. For example, Shadowknights may get a spell that is a combination of Shadow Coil and Dreadful Wrath
Ratta: you probably could right now 😉
Lantara: Quest Book : Sort by Current Zone Buggy. For a lang Time. All Chars. More People have this Problem
Ansom: my first question is… dev can actualy ready all the question in the general chat? seems like 30 question for second
Magolemus: Why in solo instances doesnt drop much adept spell for asenshial class? why cant made it more dropable ?

Errrror: Although it didn’t answer the question 😛
Firi: Changes for illy? atm illys are useless @Caith
Gliss: Why does my “Bolster” only last for 15 seconds instead of 32 seconds?????
Caith: Kofana Check upcomping content next month for wantia style adornments.
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Kander: Bee – We always raise the level of pets when we raise the level cap. Should not have to worrry about that
Kraebit: are the shards, expert dropped spell pages, etc. going to become heirloom at some point?
Ratta: good question, Abdiell!
Alhumerlefeu: new wantia adornments ? fine : good news but what about the GU ?
Luminii: Pls fix chanter dps on T4 raid mobs @ caith
Xrek: can you create the prefix title Princess please?

Kander: Deity System will have specifics posted with the patch notes.
Whovian: illys regulaly do over 1billion dps, if youre not, youre doing it wrong
Alizyx: and everything else is amazing compared to a dirge 🙁
Gninjadev: @Luminii We are working on the physical versus magical damage disparity on tier3/4 raid bosses. We are hoping to have it rectified by the may update.
Briggy: when you plan to make t4 killable?
Annikiz: can you share some light on what you have in store for druids (some measurement against one shots)
Kibeth: go go Xrek!
Firi: ok Ty @Kander
Gangrenn: and what will you do with mage archetype in GU or exp14 exactly?
Vatioru: I have a few questions regarding the new TLE server: Will Beastlord and Channeler be available at launch? Do you have a launch date in mind yet? Is it the same ruleset as stormhold? (xp rate, mob difficulty, stat rollout etc.)
Luminii: thank gninja thats good to here
Errrror: Will there be any changes to the approach to Account Wide Tithe that does not punish those who have played alts or differing toons within the past 2 years?
Kander: Push buttons better.
Magolemus: Why in solo instances doesnt drop much adept spell for asenshial class? why cant made it more dropable ?@Kander
Caith: Lantara There are some quests that can update in multiple zones, which makes the sorting quests by them…interesting. If you have a specific quest that you experience the issue with, we can look at it/.
Gninjadev: @Biggy Tier4 bosses are killable now, try harder 🙂
Iskem: hey devs, apart from game mechanics, does next GU bring some new content or at least revamped zoned ala zek?
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Ansom: why don’t remove all block chance in armor? tank don’t actualy use.. is just a dead armor set
Kander: Magolemus – We’ll look at the drop rate.
Whovian: when willl defiler wards be fixed, thats all i want to know
Taasi: THEY AREN’T BROKEN, BLEEDTHROUGH IS THE BROKEN PART AND IS BREAKING PRIEST CLASSES
Taasi: my bad caps
Annikiz: push buttons better, is that your answer for the problems druids are facing?
Romen: where droppt the one handed rune:greater sathirian power
Archbeast: good question about wards!
Magolemus: @kander from 50 solo instance doenst drop any spell
Firi: Changes for illy or all supp classes? atm illys are useless @Caith
Barocan: nothing worong with defielr wards imo Whov
Nemee: @briggy ignore gninja pls
Spluha: When Defiler will be FIXED?
Gninjadev: @briggy ignore Nemee pls
Gninjadev: :p
Kander: Magolemus – Yes, we’ll look at the drop rate.
Whidu: si why i have to play mystix because my defiler cant hold up the groupe
Whovian: bleedthrough on defiler wards is broken then, better?
Radio: When EQ2 get the Class Dirge back??? atm very useless and boring with the abilities
Rotellaxx: hey Gninja you moved on thurgadin for raid whit us? cool
Ashwind: can we have some ka temp adorns soon ?
Taasi: no cos it’s breaking most priest classes, it’s not just defilers suffering
Whovian: mystic picks nose while healing, defiler crys
Ansom: why don’t change the ascension spell system, with a system similar to the epic 2.0 spell? drop the tier material for craft instead the specific spell
Magolemus: ty Kander
Dirgah: noooo..im boring….
Numbnutzz: in the upcoming Update is Bleedthrough going to be fixed ie: diffrence bvetween mystic and defiler is horrible
Alizyx: ditto radio.. Dirges need more love than the rest 😀
Taasi: druids, channelers both suffering for it
Matsurf: Devs, when will you fix Rotella?
Caith: It is far too early in the process for specifics on class changes for the expansion, in general, support classes will be looked at to increase their support roles, some DPS classes are being looked at.
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Lorieen: how about delete 10 years old, not used lvl 1 alts…and maybe i could get back my old name :S
Nemee: go home gninja pls or push your button better or try harder to create bugfree stuff
Errrror: Why are we receiving new unwanted features piled on top of what we already have, rather than fixing that which is currently broken?
Jazim: Whats the revamp for T1 DPS about?
Kander: Radio, we have plans to look at utility classes thuroughly, and try to bring back utility in content this expansion as well.
Squiiik: PQ OF3
Xyno: @Devs: Please check also the remaining amount of assassins and how many of them betrayed to ranger for obvious reasons…
Caprie: are there any plans to review the bleedthrough on defiler wards pls?
Greycardinal: Hi Kander it is possible to make a new (tell) button in Community window ?
Bucam: how about a slight raise on status gain for guildhalls
Mordrain: Is there any plan on making auto-attack-dmg usefull again to compete with pure spellcasting-buttonsmashing ?
Jazim: And when will it be implemented?
Alizyx: @kander thanks 🙂
Ufacia: please do not implement more utility, there is enough useless utility for supporters – dps is needed at least in a viable range, not 1/10 of t1 dps
Rotellaxx: is confirmed that ascension charm remain relic, or it’s going to have the tag removed?
Gninjadev: @Mordrain You should never expect a passive way of dealing damage to be on par with active gameplay.
Whovian: appreciate youre only doing your jobs, but all a lot of us care about is fixing bleedthrough so we can play.
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Xorxs: hoy kander 😉 is the new addon more class spezial whitrout this ascent ….. ? i love to play a beastmaster or a nec whan he have cool dots, hope this ascending end whit this expa
Xyno: Rotellaxx – you have to make your choice (somebody told me in the past 😉
Heccate: defiler working as intended then? never been such a gap between mystic and defiler before
Mandragore: Is there any plan on making spellcasting viable again to compete with Auto-attack-damage madness?
Firi: @Caith so notice atm chanters lost 90% DPS on T4 i when u balance pls set focus on supp and dps on ALL Classes i never see this unbalance atm templar and Scouts highest DPS and illly u only can use for buffs / Reset and buff bot
Briggy: Gninjadev a real answer would be nice but was sure that is the only think you can say
Heidegger: @kander, can you make the temporary buff: blessing of Aranna’se from kunark ascending preorder houseitem available for other players in the future?
Luminii: How many new zones are there in the next GU ?
Gangrenn: @devs what will you do with summoners in future patches?
Firi: Same with Dirge
Rigo: My Dhalgar Call port me to South Qeynos in Lions Mane Tavern (Char Ealaynya)
Taistoi: Could you improve the macro ?
Gninjadev: All classes have reduced damage against tier4 bosses. That is because tier4 bosses have more mitigation as they are more powerful bosses… Kinda make sense.
Mordrain: @Gninja actually meelee-classes are just other mages, cuz they can ignore anything that would otherwise make a differenz to a mage.
Errrror: On a scale of 1-10, how glad is Kander that he spent all that time posting info for people to ask the same questions he has already answered?
Caith: In every test run so far, bleedthrough has been correct for how much bleed through goes through the ward. There is an issue with messaging that is being worked on, but the underlying system is complex to say the least.
Primitive: .
Whovian: would love to see t4 boses, but since bleedthrough for defilers is broke, i dont get to go
Doomguard: Can Guardians have pets so we can dps like crazy liek any other class that suddenly got an epic pet?
Peda: @Kander – How many Deity Boost we will get?
Halfwar: Are we ever going to see a fix to the upredictability of the “Calll of the Veteran” actualy working or not?
Archbeast: @Caith is a relic tag on [eq2u]Tome of the Ascended[/eq2u] will stay in future? rumors are different
Febrith: I have a new question! The decorating community would like THESE [eq2u]Calm Forgotten Pools Sproutling[/eq2u] brought back by any means possible please!
Vatioru: I have a few questions regarding the new TLE server: Will Beastlord and Channeler be available at launch? Do you have a launch date in mind yet? Is it the same ruleset as stormhold? (xp rate, mob difficulty, stat rollout etc.)
Gninjadev: Defilers have been seen single healing a group on the hardest encounters in game with no deaths
Firi: Thats Correct but the Prob is Chanter change the Spells in Magic and u cant switch wirh ASC Class or Charm or what ever @Gninja
Jamiss: @Halfwar, we’ve attempted to address Call of the Veteran in several ways and it has had several improvements to it, but transferring from one location to another specific location in a zone can always be tricky as there are a lot
Gninjadev: @Firi we are aware. We are working on the damage differences for next update
Jamiss: … of checks and verifications that have to happen before we perform the move.
Firi: Nice i give u Feedback 😉
Xrek: can you create the prefix title Princess please?
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Febrith: +1 to “Little Princess” lol
Primitive: Will Daybreak Cash be required for the new familiars or will we be abile to obtain them in game with ne expense?
Xrek: see 2 votes!
Halfwar: @Jamiss, well in trhe case that it fails, can you at least prevent the time out from kicking in?
Kander: Vatioru – We’re considering have beastlords and channelers available for the new TLE.
Kejud: @Kander: Is there class and actual content balancing planed or is T4/Expert only killable by hardcore coms?
Itsybitsi: its a great game and i’d want to thank the dev team for keeping up the hard work to make EQ2 even more fun to play. most of the problems are luxury problems in order to achieve a game status that ensures evryone is100% hayppy
Nigeal: Why my Paladins Squire wont appear?
Luminii: Can we get Kander wig’s in the marketplace ?
Caprie: Will it be possible to play other healers soon, rather than just shaman pls?
Tijgertje: Trump Wigs !
Caith: Archbeast – The tag on the Tome of the Ascended was brought from greater relic to regular relic, we do not have any plans to remove the current relic tag.
Kander: Vatioru – We’re considering having beastlords and channelers available for TLE. Reworded. lol
Shadze: the problem atm is the grind it takes if you like to play alts, all the quests you NEED to progress with alts and so on
Jamiss: @Halfwar, I have it wrote down, but can’t make any guarantees.
Errrror: Will there be any changes to the approach to Account Wide Tithe that does not punish those who have played alts or differing toons within the past 2 years?
Firi: @Kander next RAID Content ETA?
Tijgertje: good questoin there Errrror
Noctew: @Caith: You say you may be consolidating some abilities with the class rebalance. Will you also be touching AA and prestige? Because the variety of options, many of which have negligible effects is daunting.
Kander: Errror, we’re still looking at it. Nothing is set in stone.
Tuxedos: taken how non-shaman healers got.. left behind i dont feel comfortable asking but [GUARDIAN] skill “guardian” (epic) any chance we could buff our groupmates without them dieing?
Halfwar: @jamiss, thanks
Loemia: whats are thenews for Crafter ?
Gninjadev: @Firi next raid content is already available. Go kill em! :p
Greenshimmer: why cant i buy a server transfer token for 30 days
Hyrisor: What is the plan to balance all healers against wards ? Rising HP pools or other solution ?
Chrysolit: in new GU with 110 lvl what happens with ascending abilities? do they work or will be new one?
Zaruba: Does new addon including old asensial class spells upgrading?
Ivywillow: KOTWS are looking for new members, casual and raiders. Farm T3 and progress onwards. Raiding tue/wed/thurs 7-1030 GMT
Ivywillow: pst me or rezmond for more details or go to our website http://kotws.co.uk
Firi: HA HA HA @Gninja 😉 or other next NEW & killable Content
Archbeast: ty Caith
Heidegger: in the furture, will the buff: blessing of arcanna’se from kunark ascending preorder houseitembe available for other players?
Gninjadev: @Firi the fights are killable, I’ve been watching and no guild has actually followed the script on the bosses that have no been beaten.
Errrror: Are we likely to see any class balance tweaks between now and Nov to correct the issues around certain classes? (Shammies, Sorcs, Assassin etc.) Or are they best off just coming back in November
Itsybitsi: @kander did you consider a raise of AAs instead of pushing levels to 110? I’d like to see more AAs like an aura that affects groups or even raids
Killeroy: Can we have Veteran Rewards back plz 🙂
Frightbringer: Why do we have the feeling the game become “pay to win” ? Why bests spells can be purchase, give you an amazing advantage on others, to simple to X 3 more global efficiency for those who purchased upgraded ascention spells ?
Caith: Chrysolit – To be clear, we are raising to level 110 in the GU. The current Ascension abilities will continue to be relevent with the level increase with the expansion.
Caith: Chrysolit – To be clear, we are NOT raising to level 110 in the GU. The current Ascension abilities will continue to be relevent with the level increase with the expansion.
Errrror: Nice fix Caith :p
Kander: Heidegger – We may be opening up AAs and removing restrictions for prestige and AAs, we do not have any plans to raise the number of AA or prestige.
Chrysolit: ty Caith
Magolemus: WHy Shanaira the prestigious raid mob why right ones comob doesnt work right? when mob will be fixed ?
Firi: @Gninja yeah but that was NOT the question in the may update we get more RAID Content?!
Caith: Erorrrrrr – Yes, there will be some balance tweaks that go in as live updates.
Mandragore: Crafting: How about a Crafting Mercenary? With a backpack for fuel and craft components, boosting harvesting and crafting skills while out?
Luminii: Shanairara works fine tbh
Alize: Shanaira works fine
Archbeast: Caith, will BLs take some new CA with 110lvl? Or its too early to talk about it?
Gninjadev: @Magolemus the combos do work, check her messaging when she goes to cast and it will give you hints on how to react. It is 100% working correctly
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Nemee: the next dead one
Ansom: why mage item have scout skill, and scout item have mage skill? is funny to see scout epic reward with mage skill
Caith: Archbeast – It’s too early to talk about, we are still in the pre-planning phase for what each class is getting.
Kander: Shiyala – If you mean expansion 14, we will be talking about what is coming with the expansion at a later date.
Taistoi: I have no luck. Could you raise my account luck by any mean ?
Magolemus: when comes out some new zones? possible x2 or something?
Shiyala: no i mean in the upcoming gu on 2nd may
Vaehina: +1 Taistoi :p
Luminii: Can we get more items with Double cast stat pls @caith
Vatioru: @Kander thank you for the answer on BL / Channeler — do you have an expected release for Fallen Gate in mind yet (even just something rough like “Late June” would suffice). and will it be the same ruleset as Stormhold?
Zaktull: … join my club taistoi, abou a total of 8 myth legs, 3 chest pieces and ZERO chests w mitigation
randomzing character luck stats.
Rohanon: @kander will the crafting level be raised as well as the adventure level?
Ykysha: Any plans for add new contested dungeons and rare items loot like myth hammer and eth runes?
Windstalker: GU is May 2. New server mid-year. Expansion is later this year.
Kejud: thks
Noctew: How fitting that Magolemus would ask for x2 😉
Xorxs: go [eq2u]Greater Fragment of Planar Energy[/eq2u] soon heirloom?
Shirr: why items bying for status not sold for status
Archbeast: thx. And one more: @Devs. Its about Kunark Ascending Epilogue Quest. What requirements to start it? I’ve heard that someone on server must kill last boss of KA?
Kander: Rohanon – Yes, crafting levels will be raised and new recipes and stuff to make.
Numbnutzz: @Devs what will the NEW Fabled zones in a few months be ?> IE what expac
Zaktull: Can we get a myth armor trader? to sort of fix the sucky RNG? trade one for another of same type?
Windstalker: And hi all! I think I new puter. Mine is crying atm. Sorry I’m late!
Caith: We have no plans to change the Fragments of Planar Energy.
Rohanon: @kander thank you
Methran: @kander and how to make weaponsmith good again with the epic 2 ???
Kander: Archbeast – The only pre-req to do the Epilogue quest is complete an Epic 2.0
Mozinor: and what about housing??
Tuxedos: /chants in a very low voice, guardians, guardians!
Errrror: Will Ascension spell drop rates be looked at any time soon? Currently the drop rates on them are abysmall.
Archbeast: ty, Kander
Raenius: @Kander: is TLE Fallen Gate a time limited server or will it just run along?
Spluha: When Defiler will be FIXED?
Kloppe: any plans to up or make heirloom all the spell page drops in experts?
Kander: Raenius Its a long term server.
Raenius: thanks @Kander
Cheesewhisperer: For First the Supporter should be fix at this point that a supporter wont be able to do DPS like A DD in gemeral and with the Ascendent spells
Mordrain: Will Atuo-Attack at least be balanced to be woth included in Spell-Rotations? actually there is no player skill needed to deliver dps … only a CreditCard
Zaktull: Anychance Can we get a myth armor trader? to sort of fix the sucky RNG? trade one for another of same type?
Taistoi: Could you make the double cast above 100% do triple cast ?
Primitive: Will [eq2u]Greater Fragment of Planar Energy[/eq2u] ever be made Hierloom?
Murgloth: Definitely would like to see the many now pointless AA’s removed to clean things up, same for abilities, would rather have a few abilities made better at the cost of losing some mediocre ones
Vatioru: Thank you @windstalker for the rough timeline of events — i’m assuming mid-year means sometime in June / July? (roughly the middle of the year)
Whovian: ive been lied to…. i got told there would be milk and cookies…i feel cheated
Itsybitsi: will the restriction of 2e quippable items of myth+relic be raised to maybe 4 items? 🙂
Errrror: What mount is Ttobey set to release next? (Figure an easy question for you to answer)
Rohanon: What!! NO COOKIES!! /cries
Caith: I ate your milk and cookies Whovian. So to be fair, they were here.
Chrysolit: Any merchant to spend [eq2u]Sovereign of Rile[/eq2u] for something valueable?)
Zaktull: a royal charriot for the Princessclub
Ratulia: @kander can we get the ability to reforge into mitigation, would help the tanks
Doomguard: as long as eden gets an imperial chariot…
Caith: Chrysolit There will be a merchant coming up that uses them, yes.
Errrror: Will items dropped in the new GU ‘co-op’ zones make most current items irrelevant?
Chrysolit: Maybe any hint for what we can spend them?)
Tuxedos: ..and I would love guardians to have little chance to prox max damage on their epic.. rather than it procing when buffed player dies…
Numbnutzz: @Devs will you even consider re looking at Defiler/mystic or are you happy with how they are performing even though the whole player base says defilers are Broken
Darkint: get in line Tux, soercers and assassin first :p
Whovian: <3 jamiss=”” ty=”” span=”” style=”color: #206040;” data-mce-style=”color: #206040;”>Archbeast: @Caith, i’ve got something to you after the cookies [eq2u]Vodka Akellovka[/eq2u] and for other devs too =)
Caith: Eeeroorrr – Some slots will be best in slot there, but the vast majority of the current best in slots will remain so.
Tuxedos: i thought healers!
Raenius: @Kander: will the player list of those coop-zones be handled like aether races? e.g. if you do it below 5:00mins you get best reward?
Theofilus: tanks need a break – cant keep up w high dps aggro wise – make taunts work again f.ex. or
Ansom: @caith best in slot… you mean relic?
Heidegger: in the future: will the buff from this preorder item [eq2u]Arcanna’se Effigy of Rebirth[/eq2u] also be available for other players?
Zaktull: Any chance of letting taunts get affected by fervor? 😛 or ignore CM
Rosalinchen: dreaming fot kerra riding cats for ratongas only HRHRHR
Beerzerker: make taunts profit from fervor
Caith: Ratulia – We have no plan to add mitigation to the reforger
Tuxedos: oh yeah keeping agro would be the 2nd best thing… after fixing guard epic!
Ansom: agreed with theofilus, my taunts hit for 100-200milion medium…. is a joke
Kander: Heidegger – We haven’t discuss that, but possibly.
Heidegger: thanks @ kander
Xyno: @Devs: My question regarding the difference between rangers and assassins was seriuous. Please check just for fun how many assassins betrayed and have a look on the balance 😉
Ansom: taunt don’t need fervor, they just need a x5-x10 boost
Lastsyd: can you de-cripple the paladin horsie? I never recovered from the trauma of when that happened
Caith: Ansom – Best in slot and relic do not go hand in hand. Some relic items are best in slot, but best in slot doesn’t have to be relic.
Deneb: lol
Cheesewhisperer: And Pet caster should be fixed fast too pet and caster need a singel Aggro and not both in one like now its nearly impossible to do DPS with a pet caster at the moment because pet aggro is same as caster aggro
Mandragore: Can we get something like Coins for PQs, for the people whi just have bad luck, to trade them in by a merchant?
Zaktull: would be a start but yeah
Vatioru: is the planned ruleset for Fallen Gate going to match Stormhold? That is, will xp rates, mob difficulty, stat rollout (like not having most blue stats in classic) etc. be the same as it was for Stormhold?
Errrror: Will the new Co-Op zones follow the pattern of being dependent on group DPS, or heavily reliant on following scripts?
Primitive: Being that the current tier Ancient spells will be useless in 6 months any change you could reduce the price on the merchant from 10m to something more affordable?
Caith: Xyno – We already said balance of DPS classes is being looked at, we are not going into specifics of what is being changed because it is far too early to do so.
Jame: will t4 Raid nameds drop mitigation pattern to or only avoidanve pattern for plate tanks?
Batistabomb: @Devs any Chance Craft Epic 2.0 Spells for alts on same Acoount, drop Rate is verry low on the Book
Abdiell: @kander would it be a good idea to change double xp weekends to asigned amount of playing houers instead of just thoes 2 days, like if you are not able to play that time, but you have15 houers double xp time?
Taasi: @devs please re-evaluate bleedthrough so certain priests dont feel like a broken class
Rotellaxx: can we have that norrath still for a moment message popping every time i log in?
Xyno: @Caith: I missed that one. Thank you.
Taasi: essentially right now priests that cant ward suck in experts and certain raid scenarios solo
Halfwar: will we be seeing more gathering nodes about for us crafters/gatherers? far to many zones at present with no nodes available me thinks, zones I like but just nothing to attrect me!
Corpserot: any plans for us to sell no longer useful eth runes for coins?
Rohanon: @Abdiell that is a great idea for us that work and have limited play time to take advantage of the xp
Caith: We do not have plans to change any of the no-trade portions of the epic spell upgrades.
Mozinor: @devs will you consider that this xt is a success?
Whovian: any plans for a really discounted expantion purchase day
Numbnutzz: Will Upcoming summer Ethereals be Coin farm or RnG chest/mission crate rewards ????
Archbeast: i hope that someone of players will filter conversation and post it to forum )
Noctew: <- has=”” chatlogs=”” dating=”” back=”” to=”” 2004=”” if=”” anyone=”” needs=”” them=”” :=”” span=”” style=”color: #ff0000;” data-mce-style=”color: #ff0000;”>Kander: Halfwar – The expansion with the level cap increase, I am sure there will be lots of new nodes for the new levels and content
Caith: Taasi – Healer balance is one of the top balance issues on our list.
Mozinor: I was talking about this expansion
Halfwar: and how about improving the current zones that are barren?
Oaksterr: Absolute Fate has room for experienced and mature players! We are looking for other Social and Tradeskillers too.
Oaksterr: We raid Mon and Wed from 19:30 till 22:00 pm (GMT) PST (even Tells!!!) for more info
Whovian: fix healer issues, make norrath great again….etc
Errrror: How much will it cost to have Caith never itemise 2 handed weapons again unless they are made useful again?
Iskem: so this AMA has been going on for 40 min – ty for that – but i still don’t know if 05/02 update brings new content or not :/
Noctew: Errör, second option would be preferrable
Buco: @devs: is currently someone working on a fix for the broken bleedthrough for defilers, or is it still on the asap list?
Ansom: any plan to lower the trash hp in expert?
Errrror: @Iskem, Read the post on forums it tells you about content in GU.
Gninjadev: @Errrror we will make sure more two handers get in just for you
Whazaaa: 2handed Duck
Errrror: Can you at least make them look good for appearance then?
Jamiss: You’ll need both hands to hold them all!
Mordrain: @Caith give Meelees a cause to play und push auto-attack dmg to be worth worked with again, pls
Zmeu: threehanders even !
Iskem: kander’s candos post? it mostly speaks about game mechanics updates
Beerzerker: make 2hander what does 1-4 dmg and quacks…errrorr would be pleased
Numbnutzz: if name Errorrrrr RnG 2hnd == 100%
Errrror: Read about the Co-Op zones Iskem
Raenius: which dev is in charge for UI changes? never found that out
Tuxedos: quite sure eq1 necro epic had a duck skull on it
Shadze: it did
Zaktull: it did tux
Errrror: What does the marketplace icon on the Familiars Tab do? Are we going to have to pay to upgrade them, or is it more slots?
Whovian: yep tux
Rotellaxx: the gu 104 will be released for all the server at same time?
Caith: Mordrain – Passive damage will never be the biggest portion of your DPS outside of very specific short term buff durations. Pushing buttons is better then afk dps.
Gninjadev: @Raenius @Jamiss
Raenius: thanks Gninja
Lantilka: if you want to simplify the recruitment Agra tanks ?
Gninjadev: You’re welcome Jamiss :p
Panthalon: before you put new stuff ingame, corrected the old problems first
Ironfoot: @Raenius no there will not be achievment points for making UI changes! 😛
Ingerimm: any chance for a 64 bit client ? 🙂
Kander: Errrror – There will be familiars available as drops in game and also familiars available via the market place.
Buco: @Caith: is currently someone working on a fix for the broken bleedthrough for defilers, or is it still on the asap list?
Willrob: any chance of fervor effecting tank taunts , sorry if this has been asked already
Mordrain: @Caith no one talks about biggest Portion. Not long ago players had to create Spellrotations to combine Auto-Attack and Combatart DMG as best as possible. Actually autoattack is just wothless, tending to zero usability
Errrror: Will the marketplace familiars be lesser, equal or more powerful than the dropped equivalents?
Caith: Ansom the upcoming GU has some mitigation changes throughout the expansion, including experts. Should make the trash a bit less frustrating.
Squiiik: PQ JW1 soon
Oaksterr: Gninja… Let raidleader reset their raider zones… Those pesky afk raiders are annoying 8P
Wowzeer: pfft who plays a defiler these days
Dshi: kp1 up
Vatioru: I want to be able to figure our a gear path for the new TLE — Will stats be locked to expansions like they were on Stormhold, or can we expect all stats to be available, or different stats?
Gliss: Why does my “Bolster” only last for 15 seconds instead of 32 seconds?????
Smoldas: Coercer Lfg
Barasik: Hey Kander))Can I ask u?)
Hyrisor: With the class balance, is there any AA / spell consolidation planned ?
Jamiss: @Oaksterr that won’t be allowed, too much potential for griefing
Caith: I’ll copy your character over and take a look Gliss
Tabata: kp1 pq up
Kander: Vatioru – We have to talk about it, We could go either way and there are advantages to both.
Numbnutzz: Will Upcoming summer Ethereals be Coin farm or RnG chest/mission crate rewards ?
Deneb: pls invite KP pq
Gliss: @Caith Thx :)))
Nemee: i know how we can awoiding the bleed through we need 2 inqui to buff all groups perma massive hp
Gangrenn: @devs can i offer you two offers? in first pls do something with server optimization because sometimes we have a packet losses. And in second (maybe its a joke) can you make this myth tome heirloom if you will make serious class rebalance)))
Casska: why are you guys killing off the defiler class?
Kander: Nemee – Probably a combination of both.
Pliobeb: invite for PQ pls
Kander: Numbnutz – Probably a combination of both. <—- correct=”” name=”” to=”” answer=”” now=”” span=”” style=”color: #206040;” data-mce-style=”color: #206040;”>Nemee: but inqui is gay 😛
Xynix: its okay to be gay!
Methran: and what R u ?
Errrror: Are we likely to see any write ups on Co-Op zones & Familiars? Perhaps something to keep @Windstalker busy?
Doomguard: no slander here please
Maloktis: gratu ^^
Windstalker: No more ducks for you, asshat.
Methran: i
Saphyira: gratz
Oaksterr: Absolute Fate has room for experienced and mature players! We are looking for other Social and Tradeskillers too.
Oaksterr: We raid Mon and Wed from 19:30 till 22:00 pm (GMT) PST (even Tells!!!) for more info
Oaksterr: Febs are welcome 8P
Darly: Gratz SX 😉
Cheesewhisperer: Everyone could do what everybody is wanted to do of he or she will do at home
Errrror: Woot, new signature ty @windstalker
Magolemus: Why burnt key time cant be like 6 hours, not 12 ?and it droped in all obolous not only in obolos 1
Rotellaxx: what burnt key?
Phllik: it does drop in other of instances
Windstalker: My pleasure!
Ansom: any plan to make the page drop more… smart? i have 5 page for the liv1 spell, 4 page for liv5 spell, and most of the drop are for spell already upgrated
Kander: We’re now implementing the charred, burnt, roasted key.
Peppyr: Good to see you Devs, thank you for showing up officially 🙂
Doomguard: with chicken?
Mordrain: dont forget the cooked key
Squiiik: PQ JW1 up
Ephahia: do you implement smells too?
Gninjadev: EQ2 now with smell-a-vision!
Lorieen: how about ban afk people from pq ?
Vatioru: I’m level 1 and sitting on the Isle of Refuge: Can I have a Burnt Key please?
Ansom: any plan to change the recipe in legendary (most grp run in NbG leg+), and drop more? (since are one use only)
Tuxedos: any chance for a response about guard epic procing in other conditions than buff targets death?
Windstalker BROADCASTS: 10 minutes left in our AMA in General Chat! Countdown is on!
Frightbringer: Can you disable the mariage buff, or at least increase the duration to 3 hours (duration of a raid) plz ?
Gninjadev: @Tuxedos Let your group die more, problem solved 🙂
Willrob: are there any plans for fervor to effect tank taunts ?
Caith: Tuxedos I’ve been mulling over how to adjust it without making it too crazy OP again, yes.
Animalistico: i second that heartbound duration increase
Kejud: thats a good thing Fright
Oaksterr: how about changing Ascendance classes at will ( without trainer)
Doomguard: don’t think tux could let his group die more and still be called a tank?
Buco: @Caith: will the the broken bleedthrough for defilers be looked into and maybe fixed
Torgadon: just add this keys as a rare reward for PQ and remove them from afk-event in OF1
Shokkmuzik: GRATZI SX
Errrror: Make it proc if the Guard takes damage over 10% hp. Will add risk vs reward :p
Caith: Tank threat is about where we want it at the moment, so we do not have any plans currently to adjust it.
Animalistico: no idea if anyone asked, does the new fervor rune gonna stack with scout ravaging and fighter protection runes?
Magolemus: Why t4 mobs Setri lureth are hittable only with geomancer class?
Lantilka: if you want to simplify the recruitment Agra tanks ?
Willrob: thank you Caith
Raenius: @Kander: is there a spell consolidation planned in the future in order to get rid off that hotbar bulk? would also decrease lag even more
Errrror: Is there a date for the new Prelude quest coming into game?
Magolemus: Why t4 mobs Setri lureth are hittable only with geomancer class? other classes doesnt daamage
Adaman: @devs I would love to see some more meaning in the “slayers” achievement. I,E damage reduction / extra damage bonus. After have killed millions of undeads, droags etc in 12 years one deserve more than a title :_D
Gninjadev: @Magolemus We are working on the physical versus magical damage disparity on tier3/4 raid bosses. We are hoping to have it rectified by the may update.
Numbnutzz: is there Plans for New Fabled in a few Months and if So what Expac will they be from ????
Valekz: Hi. I don’t care about class balancing. With 24 it has always been a real nightmare. My major worry is about level 110 cap rise. Will 101-110 spell scrolls be as rare as ascension or just as a “normal” droprate ?
Sxthunder: danke euch
Caith: Adaman – That would be cool, and I have a couple ideas on how we may do so, so we’ll see.
Gninjadev: 26 🙂
Doctur: are we ever going to use a Fix broken things beore adding new broken stuff ?
Heidegger: @ devs could you please add us a few more hotbars please?
Rosalinchen: dreaming fot kerra riding cats for ratongas only HRHRHR
Doomguard: drop rates on ascensions scrolls atm would be my biggest fix request
Animalistico: no idea if anyone asked, does the new fervor rune gonna stack with scout ravaging and fighter protection runes?
Heilfroher: will pay db for 10 more hot bars =)
Buco: @Caith: will the the broken bleedthrough for defilers be looked into and maybe fixed
Errrror: As Caith skimmed round it earlier, are the level 101-110 spell abilities going to follow the traditional upgrade method, or will they be similar to Ascension and require tiered advancement?
Adaman: @Caith thanks! It will be a dream :_D
Numbnutzz: Animalistic it states on rune it wont
Caith: Heidegger There are performance hits to adding new hotbars, we have no intention of adding any new ones.
Oaksterr: how about a menderbot with a key for the coinbox…
Animalistico: so ravaging gonna be outdated?
Kander: Valekz – 101 to 110 scroll drops will be the same as in the past for previous level increases.
Numbnutzz: once you get new rune yes
Ephahia: I would love that key for the menderbot
Quiarrah: How about a new “Clothing Line”?
Animalistico: well that’s ok i guess new rune is 50 more more
Methran: thank god
Caith: It is too early in the design process to give specifics about how the level 101-110 spells will be upgraded. Since we don’t know yet, we cannot tell you yet.
Lantilka: пожалуйста , помидоры и орехи побольше дроп ) Норрат хочет кушать )
Ansom: ok, so i will able to use a master, or just scribe a crafted expert without the other version, right?
Lantilka: please tomatoes and nuts a little more drop ) of Norrath wants to eat )
Frightbringer: @Kander Could you disable mariage buff or at least increase the duration to 3 hours (duration of a raid) plz ?
Whovian: which will the new fabled zones be please ? i like fableds….
Caith: It is too early in the design process to give specifics about how the level 101-110 spells will be upgraded. Since we don’t know yet, we cannot tell you yet.
Windstalker BROADCASTS: 5 minutes left! Please tell us in General Chat if you found this “Ask Me Anything” session useful! Want it again? Etc.
Kokorobosoi: will crafters/decorators be getting some love after recent staff changes?
Gninjadev: We have no plans to change heartbound
Xynix: yes i want it again.
Oaksterr: priests should be able to rekindle marriages
Taasi: it hasnt been useful, the RNG on the burnt key sucks
Rotellaxx: yeah do it again
Ansom: you can leave the current system.. is working fine 😛
Luciinda: yes plz
Doomguard: Thanks for braving the braying hordes – got to admit I am impressed you’ve all appeared on genreal chat – thank you
Peppyr: concur with Frightbringer re: extended Heartbound buff pls
Skuzzy: 9/10, would watch people ask stuff again.
Caith: Crafters are still in our plans, yes
Libtech: ofc we want it again
Lothrodor: Will the timelocked server rewards be avalible on euro servers if we go and play on thouse events Kander?
Buco: @Dev: I find AMA useless unless we get answers. So will the the broken bleedthrough for defilers be looked into and maybe fixed
Methran: too fast but reassuring a bit
Oaksterr: so no more zoning out to rekindle
Valekz: one easy way to aswer would have been to tell, as usual… My worries go stronger
Xyno: Well – if the ravaging rune will be useless after the new orange rune is in place I wonder why the other eth runes will still be usable in terms of equal treatment of all players.
Lorieen: yeah, do again pls i had 2 questions and 0 answer
Numbnutzz: Any fix for Heartbound Decreasing Fervor if your alt clicks while main in combat ?
Quiarrah: Every GH has one already and it is useless to have more than one if we can’t put it in our houses
Caith: And decorators
Wildbeam: was useless.
Vatioru: ok, one last question about TLE — When can I expect to have more information on the server? (most of my questions were answered with “we’re considering it” type answers lol)
Killback: Kander! Hi! go PVP?))
Oaksterr: no, i meam rekindle in raidzones
Rohanon: Very welcome and useful, thank you :)”
Oaksterr: err mean
Lavibone: We found it reasuring. There is somebody out there trying hard to enhance out experience
Tuxedos: @Caith [guardian] the guardian epic proc like for 6 secs every 60 secs (up 10% of the time) , with a cherry on top which would be preparation buff like TimeWarp has!
Raenius: thx for your time
Lantilka: we want PVP )
Noctew: Yes, please do it again. Maybe 2-3 times a year?
Rohanon: no we dont!
Gninjadev: @Buco we’ve already answered a question regarding that. We are trying to get as many questions answered as possible.
Caith: Numbnutzz – Clicking while in combat is something I haven’t checked specifically before, so we can take a look at that.
Rohanon: to the pvp
Lugansk: перевиде ему что без ПВП это не игра а маструбация
Errrror: @Jamiss – Is there any chance of having UI increase to deal with platinum over 1million, or Mithril currency?
Kander: Vatioru We will be making more info available and definitely all the specifics available as we get closer to the launch.
Quiarrah: NO PVP
Pantheronxx: any plans to put content on test before live going forward? In addition allowing to copy toons across to test to actually find brokens before live?
Rosalinchen: i want kerra riding cats for ratongas only HRHRHR
Libtech: u want the oldschool pvp yes not the new
Luciinda: how about making the kindle buff permanent as to when canseled its off, most kindeling last for years so why not
Gninjadev: We have no plans to change heartbound
Quiarrah: still want new clothes
Frightbringer: Thx for reply Gninjadev but would prefer you envisage it (about heartbound) its pretty annoying to leave a raid to refresh it
Kiluin: any chance of addind sword to epic 2 merchant for all the assassins that want to betray to ranger?
Numbnutzz: cheers @caith
Windstalker: The team will release more details as they are determined on TLE. Decisions are still being made and we are taking what we learn through these chats into consideration, unless Errrror asked it. (j/k….mostly)
Animalistico: man the devs gonna enjoy answering same questions again for rest of the servers 😀
Jamiss: @E[r..]or I’ll jot down about the issues of display with large amount of plat
Lantilka: Without pvp we have anguish, we cry (
Buco: @Dev: will we see a summary of all answerded question, so we can see the answers to question given before we logged in?
Luciinda: enough of hte same questions shows interest
Skuzzy: Is a log if this chat going to be available anywhere?
Squiiik: PQ KP1 up
Taasi: yep, your log files in eq2 folder
Luciinda: the even
Skuzzy: Oooh
Buco: they don’t start before i logeed in – sorry
Gninjadev: we will see what we can do about getting all questions from these and post them somewhere. Probably not till we’ve been through all servers.
Errrror: Chances are EQ2Wire will provide some form of transcript
Aryasine: Please make the Planar Fragment Heirloom
Oaksterr: guildleveling is rather slow… Are there plans to make it a bit faster?
Animalistico: i’m sure feldon or someone simmilar will post it considering everyone will ask the same
Windstalker BROADCASTS: That’s it everyone! We’ll look into doing these in the future! Thanks so much for being here and asking us good questions! Tip: If an Ogre hands you yellow snow. Don’t eat it.

Phllik: it does drop in other of instances
Loemia: Where is the good old balanced EQ2 ?
Killback: Hi Kander!
Reeannun: Why does EQ2 reward overnight AFK players with the coveted “key”?
Taasi: ther has never been balance in eq2
Shumadan: Hi Kander!
Taasi: some classes have always been flavour of an expansion

Caith: Errrorrorrer – The level 101-110 spells will combine multiple class spells into a single spell. For example, Shadowknights may get a spell that is a combination of Shadow Coil and Dreadful Wrath
Ratta: you probably could right now 😉
Lantara: Quest Book : Sort by Current Zone Buggy. For a lang Time. All Chars. More People have this Problem
Ansom: my first question is… dev can actualy ready all the question in the general chat? seems like 30 question for second
Magolemus: Why in solo instances doesnt drop much adept spell for asenshial class? why cant made it more dropable ?

Loemia: 3 sec bug in Thalumbra pls fixed it
Errrror: Although it didn’t answer the question 😛
Firi: Changes for illy? atm illys are useless @Caith
Gliss: Why does my “Bolster” only last for 15 seconds instead of 32 seconds?????
Caith: Kofana Check upcomping content next month for wantia style adornments.
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Kander: Bee – We always raise the level of pets when we raise the level cap. Should not have to worrry about that
Kraebit: are the shards, expert dropped spell pages, etc. going to become heirloom at some point?
Ratta: good question, Abdiell!
Alhumerlefeu: new wantia adornments ? fine : good news but what about the GU ?
Luminii: Pls fix chanter dps on T4 raid mobs @ caith
Xrek: can you create the prefix title Princess please?

Kander: Deity System will have specifics posted with the patch notes.
Whovian: illys regulaly do over 1billion dps, if youre not, youre doing it wrong
Alizyx: and everything else is amazing compared to a dirge 🙁
Gninjadev: @Luminii We are working on the physical versus magical damage disparity on tier3/4 raid bosses. We are hoping to have it rectified by the may update.
Briggy: when you plan to make t4 killable?
Annikiz: can you share some light on what you have in store for druids (some measurement against one shots)
Kibeth: go go Xrek!
Firi: ok Ty @Kander
Gangrenn: and what will you do with mage archetype in GU or exp14 exactly?
Vatioru: I have a few questions regarding the new TLE server: Will Beastlord and Channeler be available at launch? Do you have a launch date in mind yet? Is it the same ruleset as stormhold? (xp rate, mob difficulty, stat rollout etc.)
Luminii: thank gninja thats good to here
Errrror: Will there be any changes to the approach to Account Wide Tithe that does not punish those who have played alts or differing toons within the past 2 years?
Kander: Push buttons better.
Magolemus: Why in solo instances doesnt drop much adept spell for asenshial class? why cant made it more dropable ?@Kander
Caith: Lantara There are some quests that can update in multiple zones, which makes the sorting quests by them…interesting. If you have a specific quest that you experience the issue with, we can look at it/.
Gninjadev: @Biggy Tier4 bosses are killable now, try harder 🙂
Iskem: hey devs, apart from game mechanics, does next GU bring some new content or at least revamped zoned ala zek?
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Ansom: why don’t remove all block chance in armor? tank don’t actualy use.. is just a dead armor set
Kander: Magolemus – We’ll look at the drop rate.
Whovian: when willl defiler wards be fixed, thats all i want to know
Taasi: THEY AREN’T BROKEN, BLEEDTHROUGH IS THE BROKEN PART AND IS BREAKING PRIEST CLASSES
Taasi: my bad caps
Annikiz: push buttons better, is that your answer for the problems druids are facing?
Romen: where droppt the one handed rune:greater sathirian power
Archbeast: good question about wards!
Magolemus: @kander from 50 solo instance doenst drop any spell
Firi: Changes for illy or all supp classes? atm illys are useless @Caith
Barocan: nothing worong with defielr wards imo Whov
Nemee: @briggy ignore gninja pls
Spluha: When Defiler will be FIXED?
Gninjadev: @briggy ignore Nemee pls
Gninjadev: :p
Kander: Magolemus – Yes, we’ll look at the drop rate.
Whidu: si why i have to play mystix because my defiler cant hold up the groupe
Whovian: bleedthrough on defiler wards is broken then, better?
Radio: When EQ2 get the Class Dirge back??? atm very useless and boring with the abilities
Rotellaxx: hey Gninja you moved on thurgadin for raid whit us? cool
Ashwind: can we have some ka temp adorns soon ?
Taasi: no cos it’s breaking most priest classes, it’s not just defilers suffering
Whovian: mystic picks nose while healing, defiler crys
Ansom: why don’t change the ascension spell system, with a system similar to the epic 2.0 spell? drop the tier material for craft instead the specific spell
Magolemus: ty Kander
Dirgah: noooo..im boring….
Numbnutzz: in the upcoming Update is Bleedthrough going to be fixed ie: diffrence bvetween mystic and defiler is horrible
Alizyx: ditto radio.. Dirges need more love than the rest 😀
Taasi: druids, channelers both suffering for it
Matsurf: Devs, when will you fix Rotella?
Caith: It is far too early in the process for specifics on class changes for the expansion, in general, support classes will be looked at to increase their support roles, some DPS classes are being looked at.
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Lorieen: how about delete 10 years old, not used lvl 1 alts…and maybe i could get back my old name :S
Nemee: go home gninja pls or push your button better or try harder to create bugfree stuff
Errrror: Why are we receiving new unwanted features piled on top of what we already have, rather than fixing that which is currently broken?
Jazim: Whats the revamp for T1 DPS about?
Kander: Radio, we have plans to look at utility classes thuroughly, and try to bring back utility in content this expansion as well.
Squiiik: PQ OF3
Xyno: @Devs: Please check also the remaining amount of assassins and how many of them betrayed to ranger for obvious reasons…
Caprie: are there any plans to review the bleedthrough on defiler wards pls?
Greycardinal: Hi Kander it is possible to make a new (tell) button in Community window ?
Bucam: how about a slight raise on status gain for guildhalls
Mordrain: Is there any plan on making auto-attack-dmg usefull again to compete with pure spellcasting-buttonsmashing ?
Jazim: And when will it be implemented?
Alizyx: @kander thanks 🙂
Ufacia: please do not implement more utility, there is enough useless utility for supporters – dps is needed at least in a viable range, not 1/10 of t1 dps
Rotellaxx: is confirmed that ascension charm remain relic, or it’s going to have the tag removed?
Gninjadev: @Mordrain You should never expect a passive way of dealing damage to be on par with active gameplay.
Whovian: appreciate youre only doing your jobs, but all a lot of us care about is fixing bleedthrough so we can play.
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Xorxs: hoy kander 😉 is the new addon more class spezial whitrout this ascent ….. ? i love to play a beastmaster or a nec whan he have cool dots, hope this ascending end whit this expa
Xyno: Rotellaxx – you have to make your choice (somebody told me in the past 😉
Heccate: defiler working as intended then? never been such a gap between mystic and defiler before
Mandragore: Is there any plan on making spellcasting viable again to compete with Auto-attack-damage madness?
Firi: @Caith so notice atm chanters lost 90% DPS on T4 i when u balance pls set focus on supp and dps on ALL Classes i never see this unbalance atm templar and Scouts highest DPS and illly u only can use for buffs / Reset and buff bot
Briggy: Gninjadev a real answer would be nice but was sure that is the only think you can say
Heidegger: @kander, can you make the temporary buff: blessing of Aranna’se from kunark ascending preorder houseitem available for other players in the future?
Luminii: How many new zones are there in the next GU ?
Gangrenn: @devs what will you do with summoners in future patches?
Firi: Same with Dirge
Rigo: My Dhalgar Call port me to South Qeynos in Lions Mane Tavern (Char Ealaynya)
Taistoi: Could you improve the macro ?
Gninjadev: All classes have reduced damage against tier4 bosses. That is because tier4 bosses have more mitigation as they are more powerful bosses… Kinda make sense.
Mordrain: @Gninja actually meelee-classes are just other mages, cuz they can ignore anything that would otherwise make a differenz to a mage.
Errrror: On a scale of 1-10, how glad is Kander that he spent all that time posting info for people to ask the same questions he has already answered?
Caith: In every test run so far, bleedthrough has been correct for how much bleed through goes through the ward. There is an issue with messaging that is being worked on, but the underlying system is complex to say the least.
Primitive: .
Whovian: would love to see t4 boses, but since bleedthrough for defilers is broke, i dont get to go
Doomguard: Can Guardians have pets so we can dps like crazy liek any other class that suddenly got an epic pet?
Peda: @Kander – How many Deity Boost we will get?
Halfwar: Are we ever going to see a fix to the upredictability of the “Calll of the Veteran” actualy working or not?
Archbeast: @Caith is a relic tag on [eq2u]Tome of the Ascended[/eq2u] will stay in future? rumors are different
Febrith: I have a new question! The decorating community would like THESE [eq2u]Calm Forgotten Pools Sproutling[/eq2u] brought back by any means possible please!
Vatioru: I have a few questions regarding the new TLE server: Will Beastlord and Channeler be available at launch? Do you have a launch date in mind yet? Is it the same ruleset as stormhold? (xp rate, mob difficulty, stat rollout etc.)
Gninjadev: Defilers have been seen single healing a group on the hardest encounters in game with no deaths
Firi: Thats Correct but the Prob is Chanter change the Spells in Magic and u cant switch wirh ASC Class or Charm or what ever @Gninja
Jamiss: @Halfwar, we’ve attempted to address Call of the Veteran in several ways and it has had several improvements to it, but transferring from one location to another specific location in a zone can always be tricky as there are a lot
Gninjadev: @Firi we are aware. We are working on the damage differences for next update
Jamiss: … of checks and verifications that have to happen before we perform the move.
Firi: Nice i give u Feedback 😉
Xrek: can you create the prefix title Princess please?
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Febrith: +1 to “Little Princess” lol
Primitive: Will Daybreak Cash be required for the new familiars or will we be abile to obtain them in game with ne expense?
Xrek: see 2 votes!
Halfwar: @Jamiss, well in trhe case that it fails, can you at least prevent the time out from kicking in?
Kander: Vatioru – We’re considering have beastlords and channelers available for the new TLE.
Kejud: @Kander: Is there class and actual content balancing planed or is T4/Expert only killable by hardcore coms?
Itsybitsi: its a great game and i’d want to thank the dev team for keeping up the hard work to make EQ2 even more fun to play. most of the problems are luxury problems in order to achieve a game status that ensures evryone is100% hayppy
Nigeal: Why my Paladins Squire wont appear?
Luminii: Can we get Kander wig’s in the marketplace ?
Caprie: Will it be possible to play other healers soon, rather than just shaman pls?
Tijgertje: Trump Wigs !
Caith: Archbeast – The tag on the Tome of the Ascended was brought from greater relic to regular relic, we do not have any plans to remove the current relic tag.
Kander: Vatioru – We’re considering having beastlords and channelers available for TLE. Reworded. lol
Shadze: the problem atm is the grind it takes if you like to play alts, all the quests you NEED to progress with alts and so on
Jamiss: @Halfwar, I have it wrote down, but can’t make any guarantees.
Errrror: Will there be any changes to the approach to Account Wide Tithe that does not punish those who have played alts or differing toons within the past 2 years?
Firi: @Kander next RAID Content ETA?
Tijgertje: good questoin there Errrror
Noctew: @Caith: You say you may be consolidating some abilities with the class rebalance. Will you also be touching AA and prestige? Because the variety of options, many of which have negligible effects is daunting.
Kander: Errror, we’re still looking at it. Nothing is set in stone.
Tuxedos: taken how non-shaman healers got.. left behind i dont feel comfortable asking but [GUARDIAN] skill “guardian” (epic) any chance we could buff our groupmates without them dieing?
Halfwar: @jamiss, thanks
Loemia: whats are thenews for Crafter ?
Gninjadev: @Firi next raid content is already available. Go kill em! :p
Greenshimmer: why cant i buy a server transfer token for 30 days
Hyrisor: What is the plan to balance all healers against wards ? Rising HP pools or other solution ?
Chrysolit: in new GU with 110 lvl what happens with ascending abilities? do they work or will be new one?
Zaruba: Does new addon including old asensial class spells upgrading?
Ivywillow: KOTWS are looking for new members, casual and raiders. Farm T3 and progress onwards. Raiding tue/wed/thurs 7-1030 GMT
Ivywillow: pst me or rezmond for more details or go to our website http://kotws.co.uk
Firi: HA HA HA @Gninja 😉 or other next NEW & killable Content
Archbeast: ty Caith
Heidegger: in the furture, will the buff: blessing of arcanna’se from kunark ascending preorder houseitembe available for other players?
Gninjadev: @Firi the fights are killable, I’ve been watching and no guild has actually followed the script on the bosses that have no been beaten.
Errrror: Are we likely to see any class balance tweaks between now and Nov to correct the issues around certain classes? (Shammies, Sorcs, Assassin etc.) Or are they best off just coming back in November
Itsybitsi: @kander did you consider a raise of AAs instead of pushing levels to 110? I’d like to see more AAs like an aura that affects groups or even raids
Killeroy: Can we have Veteran Rewards back plz 🙂
Frightbringer: Why do we have the feeling the game become “pay to win” ? Why bests spells can be purchase, give you an amazing advantage on others, to simple to X 3 more global efficiency for those who purchased upgraded ascention spells ?
Caith: Chrysolit – To be clear, we are raising to level 110 in the GU. The current Ascension abilities will continue to be relevent with the level increase with the expansion.
Caith: Chrysolit – To be clear, we are NOT raising to level 110 in the GU. The current Ascension abilities will continue to be relevent with the level increase with the expansion.
Errrror: Nice fix Caith :p
Kander: Heidegger – We may be opening up AAs and removing restrictions for prestige and AAs, we do not have any plans to raise the number of AA or prestige.
Chrysolit: ty Caith
Magolemus: WHy Shanaira the prestigious raid mob why right ones comob doesnt work right? when mob will be fixed ?
Firi: @Gninja yeah but that was NOT the question in the may update we get more RAID Content?!
Caith: Erorrrrrr – Yes, there will be some balance tweaks that go in as live updates.
Mandragore: Crafting: How about a Crafting Mercenary? With a backpack for fuel and craft components, boosting harvesting and crafting skills while out?
Luminii: Shanairara works fine tbh
Alize: Shanaira works fine
Archbeast: Caith, will BLs take some new CA with 110lvl? Or its too early to talk about it?
Gninjadev: @Magolemus the combos do work, check her messaging when she goes to cast and it will give you hints on how to react. It is 100% working correctly
Shiyala: What content do you bring in with the GU 104?
Nemee: the next dead one
Ansom: why mage item have scout skill, and scout item have mage skill? is funny to see scout epic reward with mage skill
Caith: Archbeast – It’s too early to talk about, we are still in the pre-planning phase for what each class is getting.
Kander: Shiyala – If you mean expansion 14, we will be talking about what is coming with the expansion at a later date.
Taistoi: I have no luck. Could you raise my account luck by any mean ?
Magolemus: when comes out some new zones? possible x2 or something?
Shiyala: no i mean in the upcoming gu on 2nd may
Vaehina: +1 Taistoi :p
Luminii: Can we get more items with Double cast stat pls @caith
Vatioru: @Kander thank you for the answer on BL / Channeler — do you have an expected release for Fallen Gate in mind yet (even just something rough like “Late June” would suffice). and will it be the same ruleset as Stormhold?
Zaktull: … join my club taistoi, abou a total of 8 myth legs, 3 chest pieces and ZERO chests w mitigation
randomzing character luck stats.
Rohanon: @kander will the crafting level be raised as well as the adventure level?
Ykysha: Any plans for add new contested dungeons and rare items loot like myth hammer and eth runes?
Windstalker: GU is May 2. New server mid-year. Expansion is later this year.
Kejud: thks
Noctew: How fitting that Magolemus would ask for x2 😉
Xorxs: go [eq2u]Greater Fragment of Planar Energy[/eq2u] soon heirloom?
Shirr: why items bying for status not sold for status
Archbeast: thx. And one more: @Devs. Its about Kunark Ascending Epilogue Quest. What requirements to start it? I’ve heard that someone on server must kill last boss of KA?
Kander: Rohanon – Yes, crafting levels will be raised and new recipes and stuff to make.
Numbnutzz: @Devs what will the NEW Fabled zones in a few months be ?> IE what expac
Zaktull: Can we get a myth armor trader? to sort of fix the sucky RNG? trade one for another of same type?
Windstalker: And hi all! I think I new puter. Mine is crying atm. Sorry I’m late!
Caith: We have no plans to change the Fragments of Planar Energy.
Rohanon: @kander thank you
Methran: @kander and how to make weaponsmith good again with the epic 2 ???
Kander: Archbeast – The only pre-req to do the Epilogue quest is complete an Epic 2.0
Mozinor: and what about housing??
Tuxedos: /chants in a very low voice, guardians, guardians!
Errrror: Will Ascension spell drop rates be looked at any time soon? Currently the drop rates on them are abysmall.
Archbeast: ty, Kander
Raenius: @Kander: is TLE Fallen Gate a time limited server or will it just run along?
Spluha: When Defiler will be FIXED?
Kloppe: any plans to up or make heirloom all the spell page drops in experts?
Kander: Raenius Its a long term server.
Raenius: thanks @Kander
Cheesewhisperer: For First the Supporter should be fix at this point that a supporter wont be able to do DPS like A DD in gemeral and with the Ascendent spells
Mordrain: Will Atuo-Attack at least be balanced to be woth included in Spell-Rotations? actually there is no player skill needed to deliver dps … only a CreditCard
Zaktull: Anychance Can we get a myth armor trader? to sort of fix the sucky RNG? trade one for another of same type?
Taistoi: Could you make the double cast above 100% do triple cast ?
Primitive: Will [eq2u]Greater Fragment of Planar Energy[/eq2u] ever be made Hierloom?
Murgloth: Definitely would like to see the many now pointless AA’s removed to clean things up, same for abilities, would rather have a few abilities made better at the cost of losing some mediocre ones
Vatioru: Thank you @windstalker for the rough timeline of events — i’m assuming mid-year means sometime in June / July? (roughly the middle of the year)
Whovian: ive been lied to…. i got told there would be milk and cookies…i feel cheated
Itsybitsi: will the restriction of 2e quippable items of myth+relic be raised to maybe 4 items? 🙂
Errrror: What mount is Ttobey set to release next? (Figure an easy question for you to answer)
Rohanon: What!! NO COOKIES!! /cries
Caith: I ate your milk and cookies Whovian. So to be fair, they were here.
Chrysolit: Any merchant to spend [eq2u]Sovereign of Rile[/eq2u] for something valueable?)
Zaktull: a royal charriot for the Princessclub
Ratulia: @kander can we get the ability to reforge into mitigation, would help the tanks
Doomguard: as long as eden gets an imperial chariot…
Caith: Chrysolit There will be a merchant coming up that uses them, yes.
Errrror: Will items dropped in the new GU ‘co-op’ zones make most current items irrelevant?
Chrysolit: Maybe any hint for what we can spend them?)
Tuxedos: ..and I would love guardians to have little chance to prox max damage on their epic.. rather than it procing when buffed player dies…
Numbnutzz: @Devs will you even consider re looking at Defiler/mystic or are you happy with how they are performing even though the whole player base says defilers are Broken
Darkint: get in line Tux, soercers and assassin first :p
Whovian: <3 jamiss=”” ty=”” span=”” style=”color: #206040;” data-mce-style=”color: #206040;”>Archbeast: @Caith, i’ve got something to you after the cookies [eq2u]Vodka Akellovka[/eq2u] and for other devs too =)
Caith: Eeeroorrr – Some slots will be best in slot there, but the vast majority of the current best in slots will remain so.
Tuxedos: i thought healers!
Raenius: @Kander: will the player list of those coop-zones be handled like aether races? e.g. if you do it below 5:00mins you get best reward?
Theofilus: tanks need a break – cant keep up w high dps aggro wise – make taunts work again f.ex. or
Ansom: @caith best in slot… you mean relic?
Heidegger: in the future: will the buff from this preorder item [eq2u]Arcanna’se Effigy of Rebirth[/eq2u] also be available for other players?
Zaktull: Any chance of letting taunts get affected by fervor? 😛 or ignore CM
Rosalinchen: dreaming fot kerra riding cats for ratongas only HRHRHR
Beerzerker: make taunts profit from fervor
Caith: Ratulia – We have no plan to add mitigation to the reforger
Tuxedos: oh yeah keeping agro would be the 2nd best thing… after fixing guard epic!
Ansom: agreed with theofilus, my taunts hit for 100-200milion medium…. is a joke
Kander: Heidegger – We haven’t discuss that, but possibly.
Heidegger: thanks @ kander
Xyno: @Devs: My question regarding the difference between rangers and assassins was seriuous. Please check just for fun how many assassins betrayed and have a look on the balance 😉
Ansom: taunt don’t need fervor, they just need a x5-x10 boost
Lastsyd: can you de-cripple the paladin horsie? I never recovered from the trauma of when that happened
Caith: Ansom – Best in slot and relic do not go hand in hand. Some relic items are best in slot, but best in slot doesn’t have to be relic.
Deneb: lol
Cheesewhisperer: And Pet caster should be fixed fast too pet and caster need a singel Aggro and not both in one like now its nearly impossible to do DPS with a pet caster at the moment because pet aggro is same as caster aggro
Mandragore: Can we get something like Coins for PQs, for the people whi just have bad luck, to trade them in by a merchant?
Zaktull: would be a start but yeah
Vatioru: is the planned ruleset for Fallen Gate going to match Stormhold? That is, will xp rates, mob difficulty, stat rollout (like not having most blue stats in classic) etc. be the same as it was for Stormhold?
Errrror: Will the new Co-Op zones follow the pattern of being dependent on group DPS, or heavily reliant on following scripts?
Primitive: Being that the current tier Ancient spells will be useless in 6 months any change you could reduce the price on the merchant from 10m to something more affordable?
Caith: Xyno – We already said balance of DPS classes is being looked at, we are not going into specifics of what is being changed because it is far too early to do so.
Jame: will t4 Raid nameds drop mitigation pattern to or only avoidanve pattern for plate tanks?
Batistabomb: @Devs any Chance Craft Epic 2.0 Spells for alts on same Acoount, drop Rate is verry low on the Book
Abdiell: @kander would it be a good idea to change double xp weekends to asigned amount of playing houers instead of just thoes 2 days, like if you are not able to play that time, but you have15 houers double xp time?
Taasi: @devs please re-evaluate bleedthrough so certain priests dont feel like a broken class
Rotellaxx: can we have that norrath still for a moment message popping every time i log in?
Xyno: @Caith: I missed that one. Thank you.
Taasi: essentially right now priests that cant ward suck in experts and certain raid scenarios solo
Halfwar: will we be seeing more gathering nodes about for us crafters/gatherers? far to many zones at present with no nodes available me thinks, zones I like but just nothing to attrect me!
Corpserot: any plans for us to sell no longer useful eth runes for coins?
Rohanon: @Abdiell that is a great idea for us that work and have limited play time to take advantage of the xp
Caith: We do not have plans to change any of the no-trade portions of the epic spell upgrades.
Mozinor: @devs will you consider that this xt is a success?
Whovian: any plans for a really discounted expantion purchase day
Numbnutzz: Will Upcoming summer Ethereals be Coin farm or RnG chest/mission crate rewards ????
Archbeast: i hope that someone of players will filter conversation and post it to forum )
Noctew: <- has=”” chatlogs=”” dating=”” back=”” to=”” 2004=”” if=”” anyone=”” needs=”” them=”” :=”” span=”” style=”color: #ff0000;” data-mce-style=”color: #ff0000;”>Kander: Halfwar – The expansion with the level cap increase, I am sure there will be lots of new nodes for the new levels and content
Caith: Taasi – Healer balance is one of the top balance issues on our list.
Mozinor: I was talking about this expansion
Halfwar: and how about improving the current zones that are barren?
Oaksterr: Absolute Fate has room for experienced and mature players! We are looking for other Social and Tradeskillers too.
Oaksterr: We raid Mon and Wed from 19:30 till 22:00 pm (GMT) PST (even Tells!!!) for more info
Whovian: fix healer issues, make norrath great again….etc
Errrror: How much will it cost to have Caith never itemise 2 handed weapons again unless they are made useful again?
Iskem: so this AMA has been going on for 40 min – ty for that – but i still don’t know if 05/02 update brings new content or not :/
Noctew: Errör, second option would be preferrable
Buco: @devs: is currently someone working on a fix for the broken bleedthrough for defilers, or is it still on the asap list?
Ansom: any plan to lower the trash hp in expert?
Errrror: @Iskem, Read the post on forums it tells you about content in GU.
Gninjadev: @Errrror we will make sure more two handers get in just for you
Whazaaa: 2handed Duck
Errrror: Can you at least make them look good for appearance then?
Jamiss: You’ll need both hands to hold them all!
Mordrain: @Caith give Meelees a cause to play und push auto-attack dmg to be worth worked with again, pls
Zmeu: threehanders even !
Iskem: kander’s candos post? it mostly speaks about game mechanics updates
Beerzerker: make 2hander what does 1-4 dmg and quacks…errrorr would be pleased
Numbnutzz: if name Errorrrrr RnG 2hnd == 100%
Errrror: Read about the Co-Op zones Iskem
Raenius: which dev is in charge for UI changes? never found that out
Tuxedos: quite sure eq1 necro epic had a duck skull on it
Shadze: it did
Zaktull: it did tux
Errrror: What does the marketplace icon on the Familiars Tab do? Are we going to have to pay to upgrade them, or is it more slots?
Whovian: yep tux
Rotellaxx: the gu 104 will be released for all the server at same time?
Caith: Mordrain – Passive damage will never be the biggest portion of your DPS outside of very specific short term buff durations. Pushing buttons is better then afk dps.
Gninjadev: @Raenius @Jamiss
Raenius: thanks Gninja
Lantilka: if you want to simplify the recruitment Agra tanks ?
Gninjadev: You’re welcome Jamiss :p
Panthalon: before you put new stuff ingame, corrected the old problems first
Ironfoot: @Raenius no there will not be achievment points for making UI changes! 😛
Ingerimm: any chance for a 64 bit client ? 🙂
Kander: Errrror – There will be familiars available as drops in game and also familiars available via the market place.
Buco: @Caith: is currently someone working on a fix for the broken bleedthrough for defilers, or is it still on the asap list?
Willrob: any chance of fervor effecting tank taunts , sorry if this has been asked already
Mordrain: @Caith no one talks about biggest Portion. Not long ago players had to create Spellrotations to combine Auto-Attack and Combatart DMG as best as possible. Actually autoattack is just wothless, tending to zero usability
Errrror: Will the marketplace familiars be lesser, equal or more powerful than the dropped equivalents?
Caith: Ansom the upcoming GU has some mitigation changes throughout the expansion, including experts. Should make the trash a bit less frustrating.
Squiiik: PQ JW1 soon
Oaksterr: Gninja… Let raidleader reset their raider zones… Those pesky afk raiders are annoying 8P
Wowzeer: pfft who plays a defiler these days
Dshi: kp1 up
Vatioru: I want to be able to figure our a gear path for the new TLE — Will stats be locked to expansions like they were on Stormhold, or can we expect all stats to be available, or different stats?
Gliss: Why does my “Bolster” only last for 15 seconds instead of 32 seconds?????
Smoldas: Coercer Lfg
Barasik: Hey Kander))Can I ask u?)
Hyrisor: With the class balance, is there any AA / spell consolidation planned ?
Jamiss: @Oaksterr that won’t be allowed, too much potential for griefing
Caith: I’ll copy your character over and take a look Gliss
Tabata: kp1 pq up
Kander: Vatioru – We have to talk about it, We could go either way and there are advantages to both.
Numbnutzz: Will Upcoming summer Ethereals be Coin farm or RnG chest/mission crate rewards ?
Deneb: pls invite KP pq
Gliss: @Caith Thx :)))
Nemee: i know how we can awoiding the bleed through we need 2 inqui to buff all groups perma massive hp
Gangrenn: @devs can i offer you two offers? in first pls do something with server optimization because sometimes we have a packet losses. And in second (maybe its a joke) can you make this myth tome heirloom if you will make serious class rebalance)))
Casska: why are you guys killing off the defiler class?
Kander: Nemee – Probably a combination of both.
Pliobeb: invite for PQ pls
Kander: Numbnutz – Probably a combination of both. <—- correct=”” name=”” to=”” answer=”” now=”” span=”” style=”color: #206040;” data-mce-style=”color: #206040;”>Nemee: but inqui is gay 😛
Xynix: its okay to be gay!
Methran: and what R u ?
Errrror: Are we likely to see any write ups on Co-Op zones & Familiars? Perhaps something to keep @Windstalker busy?
Doomguard: no slander here please
Maloktis: gratu ^^
Windstalker: No more ducks for you, asshat.
Methran: i
Saphyira: gratz
Oaksterr: Absolute Fate has room for experienced and mature players! We are looking for other Social and Tradeskillers too.
Oaksterr: We raid Mon and Wed from 19:30 till 22:00 pm (GMT) PST (even Tells!!!) for more info
Oaksterr: Febs are welcome 8P
Darly: Gratz SX 😉
Cheesewhisperer: Everyone could do what everybody is wanted to do of he or she will do at home
Errrror: Woot, new signature ty @windstalker
Magolemus: Why burnt key time cant be like 6 hours, not 12 ?and it droped in all obolous not only in obolos 1
Rotellaxx: what burnt key?
Phllik: it does drop in other of instances
Windstalker: My pleasure!
Ansom: any plan to make the page drop more… smart? i have 5 page for the liv1 spell, 4 page for liv5 spell, and most of the drop are for spell already upgrated
Kander: We’re now implementing the charred, burnt, roasted key.
Peppyr: Good to see you Devs, thank you for showing up officially 🙂
Doomguard: with chicken?
Mordrain: dont forget the cooked key
Squiiik: PQ JW1 up
Ephahia: do you implement smells too?
Gninjadev: EQ2 now with smell-a-vision!
Lorieen: how about ban afk people from pq ?
Vatioru: I’m level 1 and sitting on the Isle of Refuge: Can I have a Burnt Key please?
Ansom: any plan to change the recipe in legendary (most grp run in NbG leg+), and drop more? (since are one use only)
Tuxedos: any chance for a response about guard epic procing in other conditions than buff targets death?
Windstalker BROADCASTS: 10 minutes left in our AMA in General Chat! Countdown is on!
Frightbringer: Can you disable the mariage buff, or at least increase the duration to 3 hours (duration of a raid) plz ?
Gninjadev: @Tuxedos Let your group die more, problem solved 🙂
Willrob: are there any plans for fervor to effect tank taunts ?
Caith: Tuxedos I’ve been mulling over how to adjust it without making it too crazy OP again, yes.
Animalistico: i second that heartbound duration increase
Kejud: thats a good thing Fright
Oaksterr: how about changing Ascendance classes at will ( without trainer)
Doomguard: don’t think tux could let his group die more and still be called a tank?
Buco: @Caith: will the the broken bleedthrough for defilers be looked into and maybe fixed
Torgadon: just add this keys as a rare reward for PQ and remove them from afk-event in OF1
Shokkmuzik: GRATZI SX
Errrror: Make it proc if the Guard takes damage over 10% hp. Will add risk vs reward :p
Caith: Tank threat is about where we want it at the moment, so we do not have any plans currently to adjust it.
Animalistico: no idea if anyone asked, does the new fervor rune gonna stack with scout ravaging and fighter protection runes?
Magolemus: Why t4 mobs Setri lureth are hittable only with geomancer class?
Lantilka: if you want to simplify the recruitment Agra tanks ?
Willrob: thank you Caith
Raenius: @Kander: is there a spell consolidation planned in the future in order to get rid off that hotbar bulk? would also decrease lag even more
Errrror: Is there a date for the new Prelude quest coming into game?
Magolemus: Why t4 mobs Setri lureth are hittable only with geomancer class? other classes doesnt daamage
Adaman: @devs I would love to see some more meaning in the “slayers” achievement. I,E damage reduction / extra damage bonus. After have killed millions of undeads, droags etc in 12 years one deserve more than a title :_D
Gninjadev: @Magolemus We are working on the physical versus magical damage disparity on tier3/4 raid bosses. We are hoping to have it rectified by the may update.
Numbnutzz: is there Plans for New Fabled in a few Months and if So what Expac will they be from ????
Valekz: Hi. I don’t care about class balancing. With 24 it has always been a real nightmare. My major worry is about level 110 cap rise. Will 101-110 spell scrolls be as rare as ascension or just as a “normal” droprate ?
Sxthunder: danke euch
Caith: Adaman – That would be cool, and I have a couple ideas on how we may do so, so we’ll see.
Gninjadev: 26 🙂
Doctur: are we ever going to use a Fix broken things beore adding new broken stuff ?
Heidegger: @ devs could you please add us a few more hotbars please?
Rosalinchen: dreaming fot kerra riding cats for ratongas only HRHRHR
Doomguard: drop rates on ascensions scrolls atm would be my biggest fix request
Animalistico: no idea if anyone asked, does the new fervor rune gonna stack with scout ravaging and fighter protection runes?
Heilfroher: will pay db for 10 more hot bars =)
Buco: @Caith: will the the broken bleedthrough for defilers be looked into and maybe fixed
Errrror: As Caith skimmed round it earlier, are the level 101-110 spell abilities going to follow the traditional upgrade method, or will they be similar to Ascension and require tiered advancement?
Adaman: @Caith thanks! It will be a dream :_D
Numbnutzz: Animalistic it states on rune it wont
Caith: Heidegger There are performance hits to adding new hotbars, we have no intention of adding any new ones.
Oaksterr: how about a menderbot with a key for the coinbox…
Animalistico: so ravaging gonna be outdated?
Kander: Valekz – 101 to 110 scroll drops will be the same as in the past for previous level increases.
Numbnutzz: once you get new rune yes
Ephahia: I would love that key for the menderbot
Quiarrah: How about a new “Clothing Line”?
Animalistico: well that’s ok i guess new rune is 50 more more
Methran: thank god
Caith: It is too early in the design process to give specifics about how the level 101-110 spells will be upgraded. Since we don’t know yet, we cannot tell you yet.
Lantilka: пожалуйста , помидоры и орехи побольше дроп ) Норрат хочет кушать )
Ansom: ok, so i will able to use a master, or just scribe a crafted expert without the other version, right?
Lantilka: please tomatoes and nuts a little more drop ) of Norrath wants to eat )
Frightbringer: @Kander Could you disable mariage buff or at least increase the duration to 3 hours (duration of a raid) plz ?
Whovian: which will the new fabled zones be please ? i like fableds….
Caith: It is too early in the design process to give specifics about how the level 101-110 spells will be upgraded. Since we don’t know yet, we cannot tell you yet.

Lothrodor: Will the timelocked server rewards be avalible on euro servers if we go and play on thouse events Kander?
Buco: @Dev: I find AMA useless unless we get answers. So will the the broken bleedthrough for defilers be looked into and maybe fixed
Methran: too fast but reassuring a bit
Oaksterr: so no more zoning out to rekindle
Valekz: one easy way to aswer would have been to tell, as usual… My worries go stronger
Xyno: Well – if the ravaging rune will be useless after the new orange rune is in place I wonder why the other eth runes will still be usable in terms of equal treatment of all players.
Lorieen: yeah, do again pls i had 2 questions and 0 answer
Numbnutzz: Any fix for Heartbound Decreasing Fervor if your alt clicks while main in combat ?
Quiarrah: Every GH has one already and it is useless to have more than one if we can’t put it in our houses
Caith: And decorators
Wildbeam: was useless.
Vatioru: ok, one last question about TLE — When can I expect to have more information on the server? (most of my questions were answered with “we’re considering it” type answers lol)

Raenius: thx for your time
Lantilka: we want PVP )
Noctew: Yes, please do it again. Maybe 2-3 times a year?
Rohanon: no we dont!
Gninjadev: @Buco we’ve already answered a question regarding that. We are trying to get as many questions answered as possible.
Caith: Numbnutzz – Clicking while in combat is something I haven’t checked specifically before, so we can take a look at that.
Rohanon: to the pvp
Lugansk: перевиде ему что без ПВП это не игра а маструбация
Errrror: @Jamiss – Is there any chance of having UI increase to deal with platinum over 1million, or Mithril currency?
Kander: Vatioru We will be making more info available and definitely all the specifics available as we get closer to the launch.
Quiarrah: NO PVP
Pantheronxx: any plans to put content on test before live going forward? In addition allowing to copy toons across to test to actually find brokens before live?

Libtech: u want the oldschool pvp yes not the new
Luciinda: how about making the kindle buff permanent as to when canseled its off, most kindeling last for years so why not

Quiarrah: still want new clothes
Frightbringer: Thx for reply Gninjadev but would prefer you envisage it (about heartbound) its pretty annoying to leave a raid to refresh it
Kiluin: any chance of addind sword to epic 2 merchant for all the assassins that want to betray to ranger?
Numbnutzz: cheers @caith
Windstalker: The team will release more details as they are determined on TLE. Decisions are still being made and we are taking what we learn through these chats into consideration, unless Errrror asked it. (j/k….mostly)
Animalistico: man the devs gonna enjoy answering same questions again for rest of the servers 😀
Jamiss: @E[r..]or I’ll jot down about the issues of display with large amount of plat

Many thanks for doing this Feldon.
Ditto!
Ditto Ditto Thanks Feldon!!
Thank you for posting. I knew none of my hard questions would not get a response, but it was worth a shot. So many fluff questions, though. Much like a reddit AMA, guess picking and choosing what to answer is the whole point.
I was sent a tell saying its under consideration about my question on mercenaries, being that I’m All-Access, but can’t get any mercenary unless I buy the feature, which is non-refundable. Was told its a good point I made and some low-tier mercenaries could be questable or something.
Just in case you weren’t aware, the merc feature was included with KA expansion. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s also included in the expansion this fall.
I know, but I own no expansions whatsoever. I wasn’t, and I’m still not, convinced to buy KA. The negatives outweigh the positives. I have no idea what mercenaries are capable of and I’m not going to spend money or DBC just to find out.
If you hover your cursor over the KA premium mercenary it says that you must have the mercenary feature unlocked to use that mercenary. So the mercenary feature is not included. If you did not purchase AOD when it was for sale, you still have to pay daybreak cash to unlock that feature.
If you go to the Everquest 2 homepage, click the store tab, and the hover your cursor over the image of the Claz’zakla mercenary that was offered with the premium edition of the KA expansion a box comes up that says the following:
“A Sarnak mercenary to aid you in both solo and heroic content which can be used starting at adventure level 20. (Requires Mercenary Feature to use)”
So as you can see, the mercenary feature is not included with the KA expansion.
Are you saying there has been a takeback? Because it was announced during the Kunark Ascending livestream that the Mercenary Feature was included in Kunark Ascending.
Are you saying there has been a takeback? Because it was announced during the Kunark Ascending livestream that the Mercenary Feature was included in Kunark Ascending.
You can go to their store page and do as I instructed and see for yourself. If the unlock mercenary feature is included in the purchase of the KA expansion I don’t see it specifically listed. Also, as I said, and maybe they need to update it, but if you hover over the image of the Claz’zakla mercenary that comes with the premium edition of KA, it says you must have the unlock mercenary feature to use it.
I purchased AOD when it was available, so I already had the mercenary feature unlocked. Maybe they need to update the specific information so that it is more accurate if the mercenary feature is included in the purchase of KA. I found it to be confusing.
The Mercenary feature has been and still is included with Kunark Ascending.
Thank you for the clarification.
Awesome Feldon! I was going to be in classes and miss the Q&As.
Thank you for the archive!
Thanks for doing this Feldon. It’s humorous having the usual general chat crap still in there. Reminded me why I rarely look at general chat.
someoen please ask if we will be getting Tot as a F2P with GU103 or anytime this year i wanna know
Always what they want to say, never what we want to hear.
The announcement that you have to upgrade your spells from 101 to 110 using the same crappy system as the ascension spells might be the straw that broke the camel’s back in my case. I took the crafting class that can craft my toon’s expert spells for a reason way back in 2004.
I believe the announcement was that level 101-110 spells will drop “in the same way as past expansions” so Journeyman, Adept, Expert, Master, Grandmaster, etc. from crafting and drops.
Except I’ve had my experts scribed without having to work through the tiers within a few days of expac launch since… oh I don’t know when… its been a long time though.
There is no need for this change.
As a player with multiple crafters I disagree. Who knows, my Jeweler might be able to sell her first Journeyman spall this time. 🙂
It’s a minor adjustment which benefits crafters and doesn’t hurt others much. Throw crafters a bone, possibly they might have to do without a crafting questline this time without Domino on the team.
Oh yeah so you can sell a few journeyman spells… pretty sure you will be rolling in plat by doing so.
Then you can get in line and pray the adepts you need drop like the rest of us so you can scribe your experts.
This has nothing to do with “throwing crafters a bone” and everything to do with making $$$
Oh and yeah… I forgot about the recipes… I wonder how hard those are going to be to get, since like you said, Domino isn’t there to look out for us anymore.
Thanks for taking the time to format/post this
If it is of any interest or help, my wife spent a great deal of time compiling the questions and answers into categories. While I have my own thoughts about some of the answers, at least they were answering, even though they contradicted themselves a few times.
Her compilation is at http://www.voxdominatus.com/oldviewthread.php?threadid=938
That’s a great write-up, Bren!
