EQ Updates, November 22nd, 2015Nov 22nd, 2015 at 10:07 AM by snailish

Here are some updates!

Some TBM Updates! And Old Stuff Too!


Here's a classic quote from 2002. Context at the time was people upset that Vex Thal was so out of reach for the playerbase.

I understand how zones like this can be rather disheartening to anyone not in the "ubberest" guilds.  In a fantasy game everyone likes to view themselves as the Hero (or villian) and when there are areas that you KNOW you will never see it kinda takes some of that away.  I try to just ignore the new "ubber zones" in the luclin expansion, much as many people ignore Sleeper's Tomb from velious.  After Planes of Power is released perhaps some of these high level zones will be a bit more accessible (like many of the Kunark ones became post-velious).  Until then, set your own goals, and don't judge your own progression by the best of the best of the best... just see how close you are to *your* personal goals and be happy with the accomplishments you've made.  There's still a lot of great stuff to be gotten in zones other than vex thal and Ssra Temple.. just take a look at the Maiden's Eye equipment list.. and it's pretty easy to go through with a good group of 50+s.

*The new "continent" for The Broken Mirror doesn't exist yet in the Zam database, so the new zones (that have been added to the website so far) had to be flagged as "other" in respects to expansion. We are aware that this is not all of the new zones, but at least it's a start.

So, new items are now appearing and the overview is starting to be created. But, has Zam given the volunteer Admins the tools to add new mobs (monsters) to the database? That's going to be important and it's not something the regular users can import via Lucy or summon into existence via by creating a wiki page.

New zones was pointed out to us the day I posted the update with a few of them in it. New NPC same timeline, though I don't think any volunteer admn has tried it yet. NEW stuff in this system is a lot of fields to figure out. The new NPC in Plane of Tranquility was going to be my test case, but she's elapsed from the "new post" listing... if you want to bump that one up I will give her a try (pretty sure Oxgoad posted her).

Do we know when we might start getting information on the drops? I'm subscribed but trying to locate the mage earrings from TBM from group gear. Also it seems there will be some sort of new system setup to min / max gear due to the augs.

Item collector broken (happens with patches) eta on it being up is unknown to the volunteer admn team. I recommend posting a comment on the site feedback forum here at zam

Lucy, the item collector, is working as of today. A couple of folks have already added hundreds of new items. Smiley: grin

Well i enjoy watching raid videos mostly from WoW since there is quite a few, but i will never see the zones myself at least not before
they get nerfed which is like after 2 hours :)

Still haven't seen Vex'thal for instance, and now i almost regret not doing the key quest back in the day.

Wow. Thanks for the blast from the past. I remember those days.

There's a lot of debate on the EQ forums regarding nerfs to HAs coinciding with the rollout of TBM expansion. As I was reading those messages, I couldn't help but reminisce about all the other prior expansions, changes, nerfs, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I concluded that it's all relative. If you change the names of the expansion and the topics that were nerfed, it's the same conversation over and over and over again.

Lets see what we can do to influence the TBM presence here and get the progression and armor details. It may take some time tho....
