Anyone have any guesses from the limited information that has been given? This is what is posted on SoE's website:
Riftseekers use the Plane of Time to apparently try to destroy Norrath and we have to stop them?
Mercinaries, it says a "Variety" of classes and races, does this mean there will be 16 different mercs? can they raid with us? how much will they cost?
85th level, hell, i still ain't got all the AA's i need yet.
20 more zones, but it sounds like a time travel thing, so are the other zones identical to places on Norrath, like LGuk BB and the Commonlands? where the riftseekers were spawning from random mobs? (i picked those zones cause that is where the events occurd that i know of)
Come on, someone tell me whats going on!!! Or at least guess.
Word from Developers at the Fan Faire on Mercinaries
MERCENARIES: are the big thing for this new expansion, they will be in group, bought with plat, they will suck xp, they are not upgradeable, will be same level as the charactor that hires them, and they do not currently function with raid functionality but they may in the future.
I can see some people not liking this but as a player who boxes two classes that aren't considered "core" to a group (tank, slower and healer) this is welcome news. Now I can buy my own tank or slower!
I guess they have removed a high hate spell from the Paladin class according to Xakil before he became a beta tester. He wouldnt comment further after he became a beta tester.
So, if you are having trouble maintaining agro now, it won't get any easier.
