Scorched Sky is on Test now. Here's what we have for details and eye-candy: http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=q435&menustr=080000000000
Any idea if they plan to roll these sorts of smaller events out for every month, or is this just filler between major holidays? Oceansfull & Scorchedsky are the names of corresponding months on the Norrathian calendar, so has me curious.
Thank you for the preview, DenMum! I think my favorite item is the lava tile. Oh, the possibilities...! @blackjack: I think it might be filler, because after the exhaustion of the winter/spring orgy of events, there's always been nothing on the calendar until Tinkerfest. This gives some of us who get antsy between holidays, something to get excited about.
One thing I meant to ask since I'd seen it way back when: on the price list for the new items, the building block set (WOOT! ), what does the (15) pertain to? I was a bit leery about "investing" in them, time-wise, when I saw they cost 2 Coins You Get From Slaughtering Things (or lighting fireworks; cool ) each, but if it's an item count, I'm there! EDIT: Ah, never mind; after a careful perusal of the link to the site (i.e., with my eyes open this time...), I can see that the (15) or (8) for the cut-out blocks do indeed refer to numbers of items! WOOT! Uwk
Denmum's write-up on the Building Blocks is spot-on, in that they are pretty dark. But you can do that "layering" thing if you want to have that lovely hexagonal pattern for any other color (like, oh, light bluish-grey for TARDIS interior walls...) by putting a Tile or Divider or whatever of the other color at exactly the same coordinates. I don't recall who the genius was who first came up with that, but all praise to her (or him)! Uwk
You mean, you get multiples of those items for that two coin cost? Cool! ETA: I wasn't on Test for this, but I'm really loving the event on Live. I like both this and the other new event. Great job creating these events!
