Progressive Beta

Shazzel

Anyone with any infos on what their doing with the noob armor quests ? (leaving , staying etc)

Are they leaving the porters or fixing the boats?

Any changes to casters damage? (so many complaints, wasnt sure if it was being changed)

Other general important info? Id look myself but my beta acct expired and not planing on activating till the 27-28th.

Q: What about newbie quest armor? It gives better stats than a lot of early sets like cloth and banded!

A: We don't honestly know (still, as of May 16). The following is a quote from Maddoc regarding the question and answer IRC session (whose relevant questions I have absorbed into this FAQ). Since then devs have continued to post that it's under evaluation.

This was mentioned in one of the threads on the Progression Server board on the Eqforums and is on my list of things to investigate. This is actually a problem for much more than just the newbie quests, so it's something I'm going to have to look at on a more global basis to make sure we're not introducing gear (items, foods, money, experience, and many other things, for that matter) that is far beyond the era currently available on the server. - <Maddoc>

Which I think means no boats...

Q: If the increased spell DPS changes are left in game, won't casters totally overpower Melee characters until Melee gear catches up?

A: Though often asked, this has not been addressed. Please don't create a new thread about it... (just a request )

Think that covered it
