What is there in the next expansion for new players?

I'm just trying out AoC (and enjoying it so far) and I wonder what goddies and changes will be in the Godslayer expansion that would affect me. For your info, I'm still at level 12.

The truth is that I couldn't make much sense of the official notes not knowing what the Great Walls or any other lands are (still in Tortage), not having a clue about mounts and having almost no experience with feats.

 Guess you will know a lot more of the game before the expansion comes out. However, to answer your question. they have said that there will be some small additions to tortage and also there will be a new lvl 20 - 40 lvl zone.

What class did you end up picking? Mounts you can get at level 40. I don't know if that will change with the expansion. There is a new race you can play in the expansion but no new class.

So it is confirmed that there will be only one new zone?!

Lol how are they going to sell this expansion with only 1 new zone and 2 new mounts?

 

I believe they have lots more in mind then just one new zone and two new mounts. Funcom usually have lots of great ideas. The execution of those ideas are debatable, but great idea nevertheless.

We have been given little information about the expansion pack to have a good idea of what it actually will contain. the only thing that seems clear so far is that it won't have new levels, no new classes and tbh I like that. New classes coming from expansions are usually a safe way to ruin class balance over again :P

Seems like focus will be primarily on increasing content available for higher level chars, but if you're new to the game you have plenty of content to indulge in on your way to level-cap.

I think in expansion there is at least one new zone and two new mounts (tiger and wolf). There are no new characters or anything like that.

 

You think wrong, I suspect on purpose.

4 zones equal or bigger in size to Ymirs (potentially) with addditional instance dungeons etc for each one, maybe another 4 of each / plus the T4 raids.

So makes me think where on earth out of all the info that has been put out there that there is one new zone?

You can also play as Khitain's but there are no new classes because of focus on an in depth Alternate Advance system.

I think I get it now, they are developing the existing world and making it larger basically. Wonderful, I think I'll be busy exploring  AoC for quite some time now.  I cannot wait to get out of Tortage and see the rest of the world for myself.

Thanks for all the answers.
