Day 2 - partial update
Well today started with attending the Podcast panel. It was a good spirited panel that got off track from podcasting but could not be helped it seems as many in attendance had questions other than podcasting on their mind. It was also in one of the smallest meeting rooms I have seen. It was as my wife put it, cute.
After that we went out looking for things to buy. I got me a EQ2 Journal as well as a pair of Gunnar glasses for my gaming sessions coming in the next few months (Joy!). We played some slots at which I gained an additional $5.90 and my wife dropped about $2.50, gotta love those penny slots.
Dropped the wives off and attended the first EQ2 panel "to kill 10 rats". They did a live change to the bridge gate quest (go out an do it now!) and explained how quests are built as well as some things they are looking into in the future. Some different ways to complete quests and allowing some quests to give out different rewards and some general quests fixes.
Next was the "Adventurer's Guild" panel that started off with a bang. They announced the the current achievement system will be going the way of EQ1 and be renamed "Alternate Advancements" or "AAs" which we are already using. This was in advance of "Achievements" launching in update 53. Achievements should be nothing new for those who are Xbox Live players (find me online TalnorDragonis 40k gamerscore, oh yeah). It will possibly have rewards attached as well as drag in the slayer status. More to come on this later...
Then they dropped the "Auto Mentor" function coming up in GU53. It will allow you to go to do a quest and be given the option of auto mentoring you within a range of 5 levels of the quest level. Share the quest with others and they too can mentor but it will not replace the current mentor system just will be another way to allow people to go back and redo old content. They will also be doing a mission quests system to work with the auto mentor system and will have its own "coin" system and rewards.
They further talked about new changes to future raid content by allowing those who are attempting them to make them more challenge appropriate. This will not be retroactive but could help with allowing other guilds to do content they may miss due to difficulty. More on this as we hear about it.
Lastly GU53 will be due to drop sometime in September.
There were other questions but most were given the "we cannot answer at this time". What that means is they are going to drop alot of info tonight during the community address. So we will update further afterward and after the big EQ 10th birthday bash.
Lastly before we went to recoup we ran into some friends, very nice and were very glad to pose for us. Just take a look.
Fironia Vie - We like the blue and gold.
Antonia Bayle - Yeah we like purple too...
