New Tradeskill Timeline Announcement

Over here...
So, Feb 13. That means, well, zero testing... (Big Surprise).
And, it looks like the poor TS'er has to enter and survive the CoV instanced zones...

Yah, not overly thrilled.

 

If it involves heroic instances, they might as well not have bothered. Also, since when is giving us the other half of an expansion considered a GU?

 

I am fascinated that they tagged it as a game update but it does look like they are going to put it on test for a little while.

 

I just wish I could feel excited but that moment has passed.

 

Velious says hi.

 

Haha, that was even worse, didn't we have 2 (3?) entire Velious expansions? But really GU content has always been "the rest of the expansion" whether it was billed that way or not, sometimes it's just more obvious. Even when they charged extra for it.

 

I get what you are saying, but I don't remember 1/2 of an expansion (trade skills) ever being not including on the day an expansion was released. Then have that touted as a big game update. The game is 1/2 adventuring and 1/2 trade skills more or less. Am I forgetting some thing? It's possible as I am getting older lol .

 

Two Kunark expansions didn't exactly go smoothly with the EQ1 crowd either, though. (Talking about Empires of Kunark and Ring of Scale, the two most recent expansions).

 

Any MC Orange Adornments in this new TS Timeline?

 

From my discord email feed which I haven't worked out how to disable yet.

Seems the craftable orange adorns are ascension related.

So seems the new TS quest reward is an Adv based item, some orange adorns that already exist, an upgraded pony that can harvest nodes as you run past them, and unlocking of harvesting writs...

 

Blah .........

 

so to a lot of crafters, totally useless.
harvests nodes as you run past them? they really want to keep us in that boring as bats piss zone, don't they. who comes up with this crap.

but there's a mount right? .... with tradeskill stats?

 

After reading this I am so glad I decided to cancel a couple months ago. If I'd been hanging around (and paying) for this, I'd have been really upset.

 

I'm still shaking my head about the pony. I hope they change it, it's just another slap in the face to alts and god knows us crafters have lots of them.
And if you have to run past nodes with the pony, mightn't you just as well harvest them yourself? Am I missing something? Who on earth would think that was a good idea?

Is there any word on the guild harvesters?

 

My 3 month sub runs out in March and I am not renewing it. I am moving on and not looking back. Under the current EQ2 team, I don't see any thing ever getting better. I feel sorry for crafters. With Domino gone, it didn't take long for the current team to screw up crafting just as they have adventuring. SMH

 

The gather random bits as you run past a node with the pony out has to be among the stupidest ideas on how to keep the promise to 'upgrade' the ponies without giving any real benefit.
The only reason to bother with the ponies any more is holiday harvests

 

What the heck is a 'harvesting writ'?

 

If you land in ESO or Rift, drop me a a message here. I can see about putting together a refugee package!

For anyone, actually, since I've just thought of it today.
