I hope they will be more random than the crafting instances (random in those is: three or four different kinds of enemies, randomly selected). I also think raising the level cap to 65 is a great choice. Like you said, it will give the more casual player the chance to see the current raid content, while it still should be challenging. The changes made to the mounts are nice as well. Much better when we don't have to dismount when we want to enter another instance. Doing emotes on mounts is great as well. Not sure yet about being able to talk/buy stuff mounted. I'm afraid this will cause large groups of mounted players around NPC's, which seems a bit unrealistic and could be annoying as well (try to select the NPC when 20 mounted players stand around him). Besides... I hoped they would get rid of the goats outside of Moria, but instead another goat is added to the game. Crafting should get more interesting with the changes made to craft legendary items from raw materials and the 4th runic slot, which can contain a crafted runic. All in all, I hope these changes will make the legendary item system somewhat more like I expected it to be before Moria was released.

This NPC allowed you to pick one of four buffs, being morale regeneration, power regeneration, damage or defence. I think the Soldiers will be slightly more advanced though.

You didn't mention the trait part and I just found it you can customize their appearance as well. Thinking of it, didn't we have something like this already in a book quest as well? Where you can choose what kind of help you want from a NPC?

You can customize them in various classes, so that you can opt for tanking, damaging or healing types. I suspect they will be weakened versions of our classes.

You can make diferent kind of classes and you can customize them with traits as well. There are some movies at youtube interviewing Steefel where he explains how this works in short.

But there might still be some average and variance around which the sum of legacies tiers lies (lets put it the other way around: there is an average and there is an variance). The question is, are there any borders for the range of tier points spend on the legacies? Have you seen items that only have one tier 1 legacy? Or have you seen items that have four tier 6 legacies?

That makes 16, so there goes your theory MueR http://rhyaehar.tweakblogs.net/blog/1240/an-introduction-to-legendary-items.html#r_8380#reacties http://rhyaehar.tweakblogs.net/blog/1240#r_8380 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 10:07:39 GMT http://rhyaehar.tweakblogs.net/blog/1240/an-introduction-to-legendary-items.html#r_8379 A nice description of legendary items. I wonder though: is there some amount of `tier points' that are spread over the different legacies when you identify an item? For example, you could find a item with three legacies which tiers sum up to 8 (3 + 3 + 2), or you could find an item with two legacies that also sum up to 8 (4 + 4, or 5 + 3). Any thoughts about this? At my computer at home I have an excel sheet with the specs of 26 captain's lvl 55 emblems that I bartered. I'll check that myself to see what the average amount of tier points is and if there is a lot of variance. I just wonder if it would be possible, if you are very lucky, to identify an item with four tier 6 legacies...

Maar ik denk dat ik zelf eerder een warden zou gaan proberen (past ook wat beter in de lore ). Ik heb ook een loremaster, maar daar speel ik eigenlijk heel weinig mee (hoewel ik hem nog wel graag een keer wil levellen). Ik denk dat een het me met een rune-keeper in eerste instantie net zo zou vergaan.
