More Beta, with and without the Absor.

Our second Beta raid with Absor took us back to the Basilica of Adumbration at first, so i’m not going to go into any detail with that, more of the same we already saw with a few changes..

After sacrificing enough of our corpses for Absor there, we moved onto another zone –
“Ka Velthan” which should have a somewhat familiar feel to older players…

Ka Velthan is the rebuilt Akheva ruins, the old capital city that was destroyed in the Akhevan civil war that gave rise to the leadership of Aten Ha Ra, this zone is now a temple in the name of their Goddess Luclin.

In among there, is a name from the past, a popular raid target of old, Shei Vinitras.

An unusual event with a bunch of weird things going on, I’m not sure how much we learned, but it was interesting to see something new.

Our sacrifices were not in vain, at least one god was pleased.

Our next Beta incursion was without Absor, so we decided to take a look at another of the Tier one raids in Umbral Planes.

The Dark Masters having grown tired of living in a burnt out shell of a house, have now created a hot tub to summon their daddy from.

Unfortunately, either a Dark master left a floater, or the water didnt taste the right shade of purple for Doomshade, so it takes offense with anyone close.

Terror of Luclin – Beta

Phase two of our beta testing this day sans Dev overseeing involved the giant camel thing in Umbral planes – “Zelnithak”.

Not a lot to report about it, pretty boring event tbh, slap the camel, and baby camels turn up every now and again, pretty standard for a big animal encounter recently.

Just because its a tier one raid, doesnt mean its a pushover

But we got the hang of what happens enough to have a good footing for when its live

Beta day 3 should be more interesting…

Terror of Luclin – Beta

Age of Unity was recently invited to do some beta testing for the upcoming new everquest expansion “Terror of Luclin”.

Our first day was with the imposing avatar of a name familiar to all, Absor.

Taking place in the Basilica of Adumbration  –  Oubliette of Light, a smaller zone, but nonetheless nice to look at, as far as Basilicas containing Oubliettes go.

Someone needs to tell Absor that no levitate means no levitate, get down from there sir !

Without giving too much away about the event, and as it may well change from beta to live anyway, we got a look, and to test a lot of aspects of this T3 raid, I like the new creature graphics and their animations.

The first part involves Fade and Umber, the Laurel and Hardy of golems.

After the golem trouble, you get to see the Oubliette itself, great atmospheric feel to the area, along with a real spooky chap named Keltakun.

Hopefully our mass of corpses contributed to helping Absor tune the event slightly and we look forward to facing it sometime in the future when it goes live.
