Been farting around in beta for a bit
not sure if this breaks NDA rules or not, but never been able to keep secret.../em loggs, and really dont care
q; Anyone know if new expansion is going to get rid of that stupid voa language format crap to get geared up? That was the worst thing ever.
A; Unfortunately not, there is a new language (cant release it becuase of NDA) but you have to get to 150, only 25 for spells, and 50 for aa. But you will need the 150 to get raids n such, and to understand emotes. There will be a few emote fests in RoF also.
tl;dr yes there is new language even more tedious then VoA was.....
If u do RoF #2 shared mission, it will give you 100 Alaran, plus small boost in RoF language skill
My opinon
From just the feedback alone and the posts by people who are in beta (posting on non SOE boards of course), Rain of Fear seems like it was a sloppy rush job, with really no thought. Copy/Pasted AA's (No new ones), many critical ones even neglected, zone's like Kael and a few others just reused, even the graphical logo from ROF looks like crap compared to other expansions. Also published features like the Offline Trading Hall.
On top of that a very very tiny beta group so far. I'm guessing they don't want people seeing it and not buying it. What do you all think?
Am I overreacting?
Its going to suck, but I'm still going to buy it for the level increase.
I'll buy it for my main account and wait till they run their xmas special @ $20 for the rest. Sure do miss the $ 4 bargain, I paid for VoA last year for my accounts!
pros;
1. off line trading
2.
cons:
1. harder lang req
2. same "old " zones
3. same old AA's with Lipstick
4. Its going to suck, but I'm still going to buy it for the level increase.
5. aggro meter!!!.........WTF are u kidding me!!! ( if u cannot controll aggro, got to fucking a board game )./rant off
Reasons it will suck:
only 9 zones
only 2 tiers
NO new spells just copy/paste
NO new aa's, just upgrades
