So what did Velious bring?

Does anyone know when Halfling Paladins and Gnome Shadow Knights came about? I'm really hoping it was Velious...

Luclin, sorry.

Also, is it immediate upon Velious release that hybrids lose their exp penalty?

About a month after Velious releases.

Necros will make that zone their home.

2 DAs, And FD you can get there if you are patient and you get a SoW outside. Though CoV faction helps a lot.

Should read Bards/Clerics/Necros/Monks/Anyone with a DA Idol.

You need more than a DA Idol to get from Aary to PoM. Especially without 1min selos.

Seems like a few are forgetting Abashi also.

Such shit.

You guys whine about a long Kunark because it means tons of people have pixels. But then in the same breath you whine about how hardcore players are going to stop you from having Velious pixels.

What do you want? Do you want a classic experience, where 90+% of us NEVER have a BFG, NEVER have an eyepatch, don't complete quested armor sets until Velious is almost over? Or do you want a custom server where mechanics let you get the pixels you think you are entitled to? You can't have both.


Seriously. It's like the top thread on the forums is "waahhhhh, i can't join a group on my alt without someone having a fungi! RUINING MY IMMERSION WITH ALL THESE EXTRA KUNARK PIXELS" and then the next thread is "waahhhh, Velious is gonna suck because the staff won't put ground drops on rotation! RUINING MY IMMERSION BY NOT GIVING ME PIXELS THAT I NEVER EVEN HAD ON LIVE ANYWAYS"

soo a-team is officially abandoning the rotation and giving up on those epics?

Apologies, I had written "Anyone with a DA Idol+pocket bard" but apparently cut it out :X

I lead countless PuG raids in Kael doing giants during early velious. They were some of the funnest raids, everyone got great loots, and I wasn't even guilded! If I can get up to 60 and have the time, I'd love to do this again.

I hope the BFG quest is implemented in its original early form. If so, I look forward to the forum drama from the folks who turn it in expecting a BFG and receive something of a rude shock. Folks don't seem to remember, by and large, how raw and unfinished Velious was when it first opened. The expansion only became really good after 5-6 months of tweaks.

Assuming things are implemented correctly, whoever first kills Avatar of War and receives a shiny Blade of Carnage will also be in for a shock.
