IRL - Patch notes for December 8, 2020 (Claws of Veeshan patch)

[william12]

TBL should be f2p just not sure if its today or later.

 

[Sic]

what does that even mean, im guessing still no compile, but is there a pending KA update needed or coming as as well?

or is it one of those are we there yet, how about now, or now questions, or now? (i forget folks are in diff time zone, perhaps its nighttime there, but its only 10 am where i am, patch should be ongoing still)

lotta newer folks refer to MQ2/VV as KA, I assumed an_image meant to over-arching "thing that allows kissassist to go go gadget"

lol...i love your optimism...i always say it +/- 48 hrs. on any launch/expansion launch. Knocking on wood!

Any of you ol'timers remember the party at the Oasis docks when everyone was waiting for Kunark to go live?

yeah should be an "automatic script" that brings f2p 2 xpacs behind and autogrant 4. we didn't know *when* that auto script would kick in, but from test folks it appears might be as soon as xpac unlocks

From what I've seen, this team is awesome. Probably a quick deploy when Darkpaw gets going...that's what I always say +/- 48 hrs...not

Yup...remember it well...as i octa-kited spectre island, wearing my fungi, manastone, and click-nuke stick and the people ran in panics...i remember the SHOUTS well..."WHO's that crazy druid powning spectre island"

I'd be nice if it were today. Took a little break at the end of ROS...have all of EOK, ROS, and TBL to catch-up...i'd be nice to walk all my chars through them all at once...in perfect wedge formation of course!

While you're waiting for the patch and the compile don't forget to grab your updated UI from EQInterface.Com and your updated CoV maps from Software - Good's EverQuest Map Pack | RedGuides: EverQuest Multi-boxing Community !!

As of right now TBL is not free on Test yet. I still get 24/27 expat unlocked on my newest account I just made. He did get the EoK auto grant AA though.

 

[william12]

I've been told TBL might not open until after Jan.

Sounds about right...probably at the bottom of their to-do list.

Servers are up

I seem to remember they did it like this on some past ones as well.. they opened it up, but waited about a month or so..

 

[BlankStare]

A solid 22 minutes or so.

Hmmm...I wouldn't say I'm new...more like low mileage classic car...?

I just logged in on Test which has the upcoming Live patch. My mage just got AAs up to EoK autogranted. It also gave the SpeciAl Tab AA “Essence of the Dragon” which was progression locked previously. And you can train it on your merc for free.

Best thing about an otherwise lazy expansion.

I think EoK was about 3 months from the date of expansion launch. Eg expansion was December 11th, 2018, EoK went FTP around Feb 12th, 2019.

I'm happy for the 8k aas I could've just wasted time grinding and will probably make everything a lot easier, not counting the alts

This is what I was going to mention as well. They seem to upgrade the F2P groups really close to 3 months after launch and its usually 4-6 weeks before Anniversary hits.
