August 16th, 2008
Will boost taunt to match the damage of current weapons.
Will consider adding more items with light effects or maybe torch slot.
Auto mentor 80 down to match some zones?
Make mentoring more rewarding include AA.
Allow more than 2 buffs to trigger in a macro. NOT combat arts or attacks.
Shadowknights get more taunts thru new AA system?
Critical errors in raids will name the person ala VS. Left out of Trakanon by mistake.
May reconsider caster resists because there aren’t enough spell critical items.
Would like to do bard instruments but not in current plans.
No x2 ready but maybe after expac.

Tradeskill QA

Tradeskill Group Quests (Missions)
9 recipes which must be completed. Each requires their own tradeskill arts (no more Geocrafting/Geomancy). So with 6 tradeskilers they must craft the other 3 recipes using someone elses arts with some difficulty (sorta like Frostfell).
Rewards include Tradeskill Mounts. Existing animal, new look, range of run speeds.
One of the new AA lines will be Tradeskill Harvesting. Will increase items harvested per node.
Tradeskill Rush orders give +300 faction
Tradeskill Work orders give +200 faction
Domino and others have had a lot of discussions about loams vs cluster cost. Changing recipes or increasing drop rate is not a perfect answer. Considering other solutions.
Domino wants to revamp jewelry and adornments (esp. resists). But focusing on major shortcomings on ts classes first.
May be some way to use non-Mastercfrafted potions on raids. MC potions may get more special effects to make them better than handcrafted.
ЗЫ - очень много интересного, но не понятного пока, как я понял это тезисы проходящих сейчас конференций, вроде все относится к EQ2, но ручаться не могу.
8pm - Grand Banquet - Full buffet dinner will be served, followed by a costume contest, DJ and dancing - Barron Room - все равно лучше этого там ничего нету
