Qeynos and Freeport

~Warning Rant INC~

Well yesterday a patch was pushed to test, in said patch the devs in their Unlimited knowledge(*rolls eyes*) Have decided Players should no longer start in Qeynos or Freeport because it puts them behind everyone else. Okay seriously? What a load of horse shit. This is clearly them being too lazy to get off their asses and upgrade the loot.

This means players will be forced to start in Gorowyn, Neriak, and Kelethin. The WORST starting zones in the game IMO. The cities are horribly arranged and the starting areas are tedious and boring after the first run through. At least with Q and F I could skip the isle all together if I wanted.

This is seriously the first time I've ever thought "Damn, I wish the new SR. Producer had scrapped all the devs current plans and prevented this BS from ever getting this far."


Congrats to all the devs who worked on this Removal of Q and F. For you have hit a new level of Fail that I never thought possible.


Kinda makes me wish people read this blog :(

Reading through the update notes of what was pushed to test I noticed something missing. The Preview for the update stated 2 raids would be coming however the update notes only mention the Icy Keep raid. Out of curiosity I PM'd Kiara to ask about it and she replied that It'd possible either it wasnt ready for pushing to test yet, or was simply missed for the patch notes.

Hopefully It's just missing in the patch notes, I'm currently on my way to check and see if there are any new Zone in options at the Hole.

Apparently yes the raid is in, however you must have 24 people in your party to enter, which means I cant look around and get Screenshots :(

:note:
I hope they fix the Shader 3.0 Bugs before it goes live, I still see a bunch of missing textures :(

First Post

Well since this is my first post It'll mainly be explanatory. This Blog was created out of me being really bored while leveling my Woodworker. (bad idea BTW, I failed 2 rush orders and missed out on 15 minutes of exp potion while setting it up.)

It will most likely be used to rant/post my opinion on current EQ2 game direction/updates/raids. I don't expect many people to read it, so like many other things I do out of boredom it may simply never get updated.

As stated many places on this site, my blog will mainly be about Everquest 2. My current main is a Gnome Illusionist. I play on AB, and am in a raiding guild known as Guardians of Drinal. I also Play a Kerra Paladin, Kerra Mystic, Gnome Dirge and Human Assassin.



On a completely unrelated note, Apparently one of my posts on the official forums way back in July of 2007 made it into the treasure chest of that month. The best part? It took me this long to realise that. lol
