Ok, as stated elsewhere I know we wen't see things like Fabled targets for awhile yet. Some might say not even until their drops are already redundant. Not until Veil of Alaris, at least, for the 5-13th year things. What I'm asking about though are some other features. The Hardcore Heritage era events and the ability to tag a chr as 'Veteran'. Will we see those features come open as their counterparts did originally, or will they be later down the road than classically introduced?
Veteran rewards come out with Gates of Discord. Hardcore heritage events didn't start till SoD, so best case scenario those are way down the road. Should start seeing Fabled at the appropriate expansions (so some fabled in 2018 anniversary for current TLP's), those worked perfectly on previous TLP's.
HH_Zone -> Expansion_Req. Reinforced Blackburrow -> Secrets of Faydwer Lost Temple of Cazic-Thule -> Secrets of Faydwer The Darkened Ruins of Old Guk -> Seeds of Destruction The Greater Estate of Unrest -> Seeds of Destruction Crushbone -> House of Thule The Permafrost Caverns -> House of Thule The Castle of Mistmoore -> Rain of Fear Nagafen's Lair -> Rain of Fear It's a Secret to Everybody -> The Darkened Sea Edit: Ugh, what happened to the formatting here? I wish we could use tables.
Looking at the names side-by-side helped me realize that HH zone names are not handled consistently. I've changed all the long names so that they include the word "Reinforced" to help differentiate them from non-HH zones. In no particular order: Reinforced Crushbone Reinforced Blackburrow Reinforced Temple of Cazic-Thule The Reinforced Estate of Unrest The Reinforced Ruins of Old Guk The Reinforced Permafrost Caverns The Reinforced Castle of Mistmoore Reinforced Nagafen's Lair It's a Reinforced Secret to Everybody
I don't think it's a secret to anyone after Prathun let it slip on the live stream though! http://i.imgur.com/Iq9JmJ1.png
Do you have a similar breakdown for the anniversary quests for TLP? IE when would we see the Kunark / Velious / Luclin rewards for the 100% XP Pot, or the EB Familiar? Was hoping they'd come along as each expansion opened but as of last night the NPC for Kunark's collection Quest had not spawned on Lockjaw.
Can I suggest someone make a TLP Faq that handles all the possible questions that come around every single time a new tlp happens....IE Hotzones, Augments, Release of zones based on expansions, etc etc etc....would help you in the long run with a little work in the short run.
We have a similar FAQ at http://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ:Progression_Servers that anyone with a ZAM account can edit. We've been slowing working on it over time.
If Prathun would stop changing stuff every time a new TLP gets launched, I'm sure this would be doable! Even if you look at the FAQ's that DBG has posted for each server prior to launch, there are errors and inconsistencies and things that have been changed that they missed in the faq.
Speaking of which... I just changed a bunch of stuff. After some discussion, it was clear that It's a Reinforced Secret to Everybody should be restricted to Empires of Kunark, not The Darkened Sea. Also, apparently zone header long names aren't exposed to the client anywhere, so that change had no meaningful effect.
We'll see the first 6 all pop up in time for the 2019 yearly events. The Naggy/Mistmoore ones will come around in 2020, and the new one in 2021. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/full-phinigel-unlock-schedule.239703/
