Hey fellows,
I’m just now getting into exploring CoV and seemed to notice something that I absolutely hate. Doesn’t it seem like everything in the new expansion is complete cookie cutter? Let’s look at the “features”
Claws of Veeshan is EverQuest's 27th Expansion!
Major highlights include:
Beautiful new Zones to explore (Every zone is a revamp)
New Spells, AA's, Gear, and Armor (from what I can tell there are no new aas/gear or armor. The only thing you might call new is that a few bags have stats on them. Everything else gets an obligatory 15% bump and that’s it)
Dragons Hoard - A dragon's hoard for those that have collected so many items, it is nigh impossible to contain. This is an additional space to hold all those items you may need once more but do not need now. (Don’t even get me started on this)
Now, let’s look at an expac from a few years ago.
The Burning Lands
Beautiful new Zones to explore (3 or 4 legitimately new zones, PLUS GMM!)
New Spells, AA's, Gear, and Armor (ok, spells and aas were lacking, but we got a huge new feature in evolving gear and type 18/19 augs!)
New Luck Stat (another new feature!)
New Faction Window (yet another new feature
!)
Return to the Planes Lore
Ok, so what’s going on? It seems like this trend started to accelerate in ToV, but it’s been getting progressively worse. I understand we are in a pandemic, but I imagine this kind of work is doable while working from home. Even if we factor in some drop off in content, this latest expac still seems severely lacking.
Looking at the financials recently, a see a pretty positive outlook for the future. So, what’s going on? Do you all think that we will see something exciting for Anniversary with new owners?
