    Hey there,
    If you got into the beta, could you share your impressions so far and tell us about the content?
    Are ascensions important? How are the classes? Similar to CD or not? How is the leveling?
    Thx :)

    There is a beta forum of this.

    And aren't Beta testers under a Non-Disclosure Agreement that prevents them from sharing the information found in the content?

    Or does this game not do that anymore, like they did from Faydwere to Velious?

    No NDA for general beta testing.

    General beta testing must be something they started doing after I left in 2011.

    Interesting. In the past all Beta information stayed in beta forums until it went live (I did every beta since 2004 before pre-purchasing guaranteed you a spot). With DBG it may be different now though?

    There hasn't been an nda for a few years now. There may be NDAs for the testing that happens behind closed doors.

    Um as a veteran eq1 player, this expansion brings some nostalgic aspects for sure. I mean it's really early so a lot of work to be done. But um my first impression is, the color schemes are kinda drab. sure it's the moon buttttt still... um I was happy to see a lot of familiar zones but they are sooooo tiny. To be fair though the overland zones while fun to explore honestly do not have a lot of replay value, so I get it. But I would have enjoyed a larger " the grey" and "scarlet desert".

    I have not checked everything out but seems like they skipped Vex Thal ???? how I mean that was the **** …. I get ssra fell to norrath but VT was still there. I mean who doesn't recall the sigline to get keyed for VT ? Still it's early so we shall see. but I was able to complete pretty much all the quests in like 2-3 days.

    The deep, the acyrlia caverns, gregs end ahhh well it does bring back fond memories. Its not bad, eq1 was so amazing its tough to live up to.

    But come on.... add in Vex Thal with a brutal key quest! lol

    If they exist, they must be by invitation only :(

    The landscape is striking. There's no map yet, so I find it really difficult to navigate. But having fun exploring Luclin.

    Pro Tip: Make sure you are not in your crafting gear when you go out to slay monsters on Luclin. No, don't ask how I know that.

    The visuals are really great on the eyes. Quite a few models have gotten sexier. Landscapes are very colorful and I don't mind spending hours just standing there looking. So far any zone with a sea/ocean, makes it feel like it. I'm not particularly fond (yet) of some of the "merged" zones, it's just what EQ2 does to the old separate EQ1 zones, mentally I still expect a zoneline for each.

    It say s I do not have permission to view it, even though I am in Beta. So invitation only?

    No invitation necessary - the beta forums are found at the bottom of the main forum page, under the Support Forum. I am not in beta and can both see the forum and the posts - see here.

    Thx for info !
    how is the leveling experience?
    Is it similar to CD?
    I mean... Mobs with gazillions hp that you can barely hit before getting better gear because of one needed stat to do any damage?
    Ascension classes very important to do damage?
    Lots of Daily quests zones that you need to farm to access raids?
    stuff like that...

    Home Forums >
    EverQuest 2 Forums - Error
    You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.

    So I submitted a support ticket, but there is no category that fits this issue, which will probably mean it won't be taken care of anytime soon :(

    Wow, that's really weird - I can see them, but don't have beta?

    One of the dev said that Vex Thal is coming in next expansion. So we will be staying on the moon for at least 2 expansions.

    Try sending a PM to Dreamweaver - he looks after the forums so may be able to help directly.
