Age of Unity

<-  Bonus Anniversary content also  ->

But before we address the Anniversary trashheap, we get to pour over the final 3 events of the current expansion – Laurions Song.

The first event we beat of the three was the one we covered the most in beta testing with Ngreth.

I skipped leg day when it came to reading up on the lore of this event, but its something along the lines of “we went for a walk and met an ogre army, lead by Captain Kar”

A lot goes on, but it seemed an easier one to learn.

 

The next event is the one with the big spider and some nutty elf.

I am sure the lore on this is interesting also, let me know.

I’m part of the team that deals with a weird mechanic in this, which seems very unneeded, but unusual.

I love the spider part, and the other bits before that.

But the final phase of the event is a colossal mass of crap, not very visual and just happens.

 

The final event of the expansion we tackled is, in my opinion anyway the hardest, and by quite a bit.

The spell effect does give a satisfying loony toons bullseye which I captured quite by chance, which is probably the most positive thing I can say about this raid, not my favourite.

But that’s it, Laurions Song completed, overall, quite a fun expansion, nothing spectacular, but far more enjoyable than some other more recent ones.

But wait, there’s more !

March 15th 2024 saw the 25th Anniversary of Everquest.

In among the celebration is a bonus raid.

And its awful.

We could have had a Dinosaur raid, but instead we got this load of old nothing.

 

LS T2

So, ive been lazy in updating the news.

Tier 2 arrived, and got beaten first day as is usual,

Im still not familiar with the events to remember the names of them

Theres the one with the the spooks and ritual

The one with the bears, sometimes.

And the one with the “im going to die to an axe”

Enjoyable raids in all, and I don’t have to constantly throw potatoes at Aluane and Tarell during them, so thats a plus.

Overall a promising expansion, with the added bonus of Dx11 update making many peoples graphics get upgraded.

New Year – New Raids

Laurions song launched in December pretty smoothly without problems (well, apart from the colossal crap of personas), and following up in January came the first two raids.I benched for the first one, so here is a screenshot from when we tested it in beta (and I didn’t post about it).

A pretty “classic” type of event arena thing set in the sand elves city, not too hard but reasonably different to be interesting.

And the second raid – slap the hand in mischief, I kinda had my hands full, so grabbing screenshots was a tad difficult, but I got a couple and augmented again, with some from beta.

Its one that takes a bit of getting used to, but will no doubt be easy down the line, and of course we beat both the first day trying.

and that’s about it.
