Lamannia Quests Unlocked

[thatguy]

When will the quests on Lamannia be unlocked? Anyone have any idea? Or are they so buggy that they CAN'T be unlocked?

[NXPlasmid]

when mod9 goes live. I don't believe they'll be unlocked on Lama before then.

Wow, that's awful. I guess that means we can preview the world but not the quests.

[Lerincho]

same exact way the last 3 mods have been done.

You had be excited for a minute! Thought you were announcing it.

It's pretty typical for Turbine to not release the high end quests early. They don't want to give Lammania players a heads up on strategy ahead of live, they might still be buggy, they want to save some excitement for the mod, etc.

The abbot is open, though, as are the quests that received changes, so there's some stuff to see.

It's happened in the past as well that they've unlocked the new stuff for a short period of time as well, like a weekend. Maybe that'll happen?

Heck, I can't even figure out how to get into the new wilderness area :confused:

Exactly. The idea is to preview the changes in tech and give feedback on that. The quests should only be released on the live server, this makes sense and is conistant with the last few releases.

I don't think you can.

[Lerincho]

Huh... Guess I missed a door...time to go exploring :p

turn right just past the Home Decor section.

It seems it was open for a short period of time after the update, but was quickly closed out.

[Lerincho]

see!!! I didn't make it up!!

[Wrustle]

see!!! I didn't make it up!!

Yeah I saw the post on Lamannia Discussion. Saw the screenshots as well (with the altar of devastation in it I believe).
From what I gathered, the explorer was opened for a few minutes but TPTB quickly closed it down. I cannot seem to find the thread with the screenshots in it either... maybe deleted by now. Who knows.

The entrance to the new quest area, which is beautiful i might add, IS accessible via the Twelve inside the twelve castle. Walk straight in past hallways to tavern and vendors into electric room. Inside that room there is a new quest giver or planes traveller who will teleport you to the new quest area. Once your there you will see the new brilliantly decorated environment and the tower from a long distance away. Really cool lookin so it is worth checking out at least. :)

Once you are there you can get the new quests but you will not be able to enter the portal that starts you off in the "Battlefield" area first. From there you will need to meet other NPCs who will connect you to the other areas where the other quests are located, which are not open yet either.

As was stated. This is nothing new. It has always been business as usual to test these updates to the engine and user interface on Risia server first without giving away the new content. As it stands in lamainia the level cap is up and you can test new spells, the new targeting and damage display system. Giving the quests away wouldn't be right though. IMO

As a test server I'd like to see things like:

Free feat respects to TEST feats ... I'm sure not grinding for Sibery's shards and waiting 3 days for changing out another feat.

Bonus XP for fast levelling ... Yeah there is talk of an XP exploit but I'm sure it's not intended so how many players are really going to take the hours to level to TEST their toon advancement.

Non-timered enhancements ... Here's a novel idea; I want to TEST keeping crit rage II vs. Tempest Barbarian ... oh I gotta wait days to do it, mehhh.

Oh yeah and of course I'd like to TEST the new content. You don't want to run it, great for you, you can create your own groups when it's live and crawl through quests and explore everything at the pace YOU decide. You would only appreciate having bugs, hang-ups, stuck spots, and exploits determined prior to going live then having world shut-downs and unscheduled closeur due to this stuff being found afterwards.

BTW, the 4 new quests and explorer area were open for perhaps an hour or so. Seems things got shut down fast. Large ingedients drop in the new content and there is a crafting alter.

Have a great day!

Its a Preview server, Not a Test Server.

[Eldun]

Well then change everytime I wrote TEST to PREVIEW and as for finding bugs and the likes ... oh well. Guess we'll just enjoy the inconveniences later and disregard the Dev's asking us to report things since we're not testing it out for them.

Thanks!

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you're spoiling the illusion!
