An expansion at my own pace

It’s been a while now since Sentinel’s Fate was released and as you can see from previous posts I’ve been exploring the first zone while questing and crafting.

I am now at the point where I’m not far from finishing the quests in Sundered Frontier and I have enjoyed the quests so far. I think the main reason for this is unlike the Ruins of Kunark expansion I’ve been taking things a bit slower. When RoK the last level increase expansion was released my main character Yetian was my entire focus and as a result I rose through the levels pretty quickly.

Sentinel’s Fate – The Hole Part 1

nexus enter the holeToday’s pictoral tour of the new Everquest 2 expansion Sentinel’s Fate is The Hole. Those of you who played Everquest will remember the hole, things have changed.

It’s a nice zone though and as Keoq one of our members commented, it’s nice to see other people in a dungeon type zone.

I won’t go into details of what each pic is as I was healing at the time and didn’t have time to note areas down. As there are many heroic ^^^ mobs in the hole I couldn’t really go back and take notes. ;)

Instead, here is your chance to tour the hole with neXus. Your guides for the tour are Yetian, Milkyjoe, Urstrix, Katary, Gotchi and Keoq.

Tinkering maxed again

Yetian's newly tinkered mount - Hotwired Gnomish HoverpadWell as I’m now a level 90 tailor (wooo me), I’m also able to reach max tinkering. It took me all of an hour or so to hit that max taking my tinkering in total from 400 to 450.

The best item I’ve been able to make is the Hotwired Gnomish Hoverpad which you can see in the image above. It’s a 68% speed mount which means I don’t have to go and do those Ice faction quests which I never got round to. It did require 4 (maybe 5) brellium ore’s which i bought from the broker. I have been trying to harvest all my rares but I just had to buy those to make the Hoverpad.

Granted I might run at 67.5% solo but 5% of that is with my bogstrutter charm item, so that can now go.

Other items I can now make include:

Sundered Frontier Tour – Part 1

Claimed appearance armour from Sentinel's FateI have had a few days to wander around Sundered Frontier, the first overland zone in the newly released Everquest expansion Sentinel’s Fate. During my exploration of the new zone I’ve taken a few screenshots for your viewing pleasure. This is just part 1 of Yetian’s Sundered Frontier tour, as I’ve yet to explore parts of the zone. The pics I’ve taken so far are of the area’s or creature’s I’ve encountered while questing.

Battleground Europe – More on Axis equipment

A Bedford truck after it met with my 232I’ve now played a few Campaign’s since swapping to Axis with some of my squad and our new squad the SODS plan to stay there for at least the next campaign.

One of my new favourite unit types is the 232 armoured vehicle. It’s a very wobbly but very fast armoured car with an AP/HE firing main gun and a machine gun to back it up.

The picture here is what was left of a Bedford truck I blew apart as it tried to head to an FB I was defending.

Sentinel’s Fate Digital Download for none US customers

SOE have finally announced a Digital download version of Sentinel’s Fate will be available to none US customers. It seems that the download will be available from 2-3 sites and should be made available on February 16th.

I would say I’m surprised that it has taken SOE so long to announce this, but I’m actually more surprised they have announced it at all. We all know Sony Online Entertainment are not known for their concern for European Customer’s so someone somewhere must have spotted they were losing out on cash.

I’ll be buying my digital download when it’s available as it’s one less box I’ll have to find room for on my shelves.

New Plugin for you Smart Phone users

I’ve installed the WPtouch Mobile Plugin after a recommendation from the owner of We Fly Spitfires MMO blog.

The plugin should detect your smart phone and display a faster, easier to navigate version of MMO-Symposium. I know most of these phones have a full web browser, I have an Iphone myself, If you prefer to use the normal theme on your phone there is an option to turn the theme off at if you scroll to the bottom of the page. The mobile theme plugin does result in faster page loads and it presents a nice front page where you can choose which post you want to read. Granted you probably will want to read them all if you haven’t already but hey. ;)

Let me know how you find the new plugin and if you have any issues with it when viewing this blog.
