magnificent.... as conjurer myself i shall burn everything in path in honor to the lords of fire and sun.....later once the event is concluded by the end of july lets discuss the possibility of a ''future day to honor druzzil and ayonae'' those two too deserve some praise....<3
lol Lidahn, OOOOOO nooooooo she singed the tip of my tail, watch out where you aim that flamethrower.
btw what's that golden armor in the picture? i loved that le bustier is obtainable? i would love to get one for myself and my ALTS@@@@@@@!!!!!!!!!
we don't have that many quests for Scorched Sky, so yes do not overlook those fireworks, you can do that quest till your fingers fall of from lighting them, and you get 2 tokens for the Fire Festival and 6 for the summer event . I think my eyes are beginning to get crossed.
Limited-time Mercenary and Mount training drops from Visions of Vetrovia missions. Question... Are they still able to be gotten from body drop quests and the book poi quests like previous expacs? Its just Ive been holding onto these waiting for these the temp reducer weekends and I just did all 4 zones completely and not one single reducer.....now either Im having the worst luck ever with getting them or they arent being rewarded for them and yes I know its all down to luck really but every expac I do these when they come around and Ive NEVER had that bad luck lol, so wanna make sure not wasting my time rofl
A new quest with a cloak reward and we get a reused cloak. We couldn't come up withsomething new for Scorched Sky?
solo of Combusting at the seams is still popping 2 adds for Elemy/ I read it was to be reduced to 1 for solo. I cant beat him
What is a major let down is the reward for the solo collection. It is not an easy task to get the collectibles for any stretch of the imagination and I actually appreciate that they have finally added the "jumping puzzle" concept from guild wars 2 into the game. I think this idea has potential and should be expanded to other zones, specifically outdoor zones with sections requiring patience and skill to traverse the layout to get to a collectible or loot. Guild wars 2 nailed that. But getting a house item falls into the category of meh. There should be a neat appearance item at least or something that balances out the risk vs reward concept.
No more jumping puzzles. I really hated this and died so many times. I pretty much have assumed I won't be getting the collection finished or discover all the POI. Unless by chance I get all the shinies from the one on the tent and the one at the end. I actually like jumping puzzles. Just not in EQ2. This isn't a 3D platform game. If you want to add 3D jumping then at least make the controls work well. The way the jumping item was implemented wasn't good IMHO. Trying to use the item while jumping doesn't make sense and isn't that easy (at least for me). I thought you equip the item and after you jump you can do another jump. Nope. I had to find someone to explain it to me. I would never think that is how it worked. I liked the rest of the zones and the bosses and everything else. Just hated the jumping. Normally I wouldn't care and just ignore it but I love collecting the shinies so it's a shame I won't be able to get them all. Even this is fine. Not all content has to be for everyone.
I personally despise that quest for the Event, I looked up the walk through and said nothing as to how you kill Elemy Elmonnier .... seems like every time I got him to 70%, I would get killed by some Dragons. After 10 times trying, I give up and deleted the quest! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I can't even get him to 70% before I get killed. I think I got him under 90% once but the dragoons spawn so fast that it all takes over. I had no issues with the one during Tinkerfest but this one forget it. I have given up as well.
Might I put in a request for next year: every other holiday we have (holidays where it'd be appropriate; I can't think of how it could be done for the Chronos or Beast'r Day or whatever to have, say, building blocks) either has a recipe salesman or we can find recipes, like with Oceansfull and Nights of the Dead (how cool is NotD? we have BOTH! ). Since there's a whole slew of cool (heh) stuff to buy off the merchants for Scorched Sky, could we PLEASE start getting recipe books for the various building blocks? They wouldn't necessarily need special mats; neither the Awuidor nor the Moving Water recipes require any, and as a matter of fact, use really low-level tier stuff that we might not care about harvesting any more except for things like that. If we could do that for recipes from the Water event, why not from Fire? Uwk
Another suggestion: the Animated Cinders look awesome, but I was hoping they were actually plushies, rather than house pets. Imagine my dismay when I found out otherwise; I need them to be in an oven indefinitely, not wandering around on their own little lonesome whenever they get the notion (we could also use "Turn This Pet Into a Plushie" potions that are Until Canceled, not timed or charged [well, okay, maybe charged, but we want recipes for it that ANYONE can make...]). :-/ So for next year, can we have a true plushie version for cheaper, like 1-2 Coin(s) of Ember? I looked at Lera's site, and there isn't anything, really, that looks like that, that I can see, that actually is a plushie (Lera had it mislabeled; got excited, I guess ;->)? Uwk
