EQ Updates, November 12th, 2015

Calling the Paparazzi!

Norrath needs some Glam Photos...

Screenshot

This great shot of King Itkari has the especially nice feature of an edited-into-the-image map. It was uploaded by Railus (not sure who did the editing work if it wasn't Railus). Many of the named screenshots in the bestiary from Rain of Fear era and newer have this nice addition (the map).

If you have the interest and ability, it would be great to get such shots of older named throughout the game!

Note: one flaw in the map idea (and King Itkari is the perfect example of this) is if the named spawn location is not a single place but was originally thought to be so the map we have might be out of date... for example this npc now has 2 known spawn /locs. So we may need some modern updates as well for those not interested in lower level content.

 

At the same time, we don't have nice shots of many of these modern named without the map. It's nice to have both options, as this ancient pic of Brother Estle shows. Sometimes we want to do things with a pic where a map being in the shot isn't helpful at all. It's also nice to have old model/new model versions when applicable.

Update Note: there is some confusion with the Gates of Discord tradeskill quests (freebies for skill points, and collects for materials unlocks) as they were all held under the umbrella of "GoD Refine Raw GoD Materials" but some have their own entries and some still don't today. At this point we might as well try and give them all their own entries, but we also need to verify that all the quests are accurate for materials and such.

As much as I love ZAM and EQ (and how old this computer is) I'm just not seeing the headline picture.

Firefox - Win 7 user here.

Made a behind the scenes update to the story, did that fix your picture-viewing issue?

Odd. So clearly an error on my end. I will look into it. Oddly it shows up fine for me.


Apologies to all that are seeing no image or the broken x.


Edit:

-revised original image size in database
-removed image in update posting and replaced it with new image
-made new version of image much smaller in update posting


Can anyone else see it now (as it still shows fine on my end, including my preview view)?
