Shadowed Eclipse 1st Chapter of 1st Expansion Now Open

[ccyre3]

Hey there, just looking for people to test and offer what they would like to see in a class that they always wanted to see but was never done. Very open to make changes with balance in mind.

I hate keeping track of balancing and gear stats haha but so far so good. I much enjoy storyline, different types of encounters and tricks and puzzles using item lore as hints.

So, 2 bots to start, another at lvl 3, box, mq2, warp idc just don't player grief.

Kunark Chapter 6 Part 3 Released - Grab the latest spell and dbstr files. No quest or task, just crawl and explore everything. Camp multiple times. 16 bosses, 10 unique, 227 items added including a new class specific powersource set. Most work I've done on 1 zone yet lol. Very much VP 3.0. This is the end of my original story, if I continue on, depends on demand. So far, ppl seem to like it to a certain point, but only few have made it to Kunark. I made the mistake in assuming thinking would be popular, and not the usual grind. This VP though, if you make it here, will not disappoint.

Now that the main storyline is done, I'm going back and resurfacing the old stuff (now that I learned a few things). So the starter section has been revamped. If anyone is bored this weekend, would really welcome some new players.

Now that the end of the 1st main story is done, I'm going back and revamping things from the start. So, when certain novelties wear off, spin up a new toon. The tutorial here has changed a lot, adding QOL aspects, I'm slowly going through each zone and doing those sorts of touch ups, as well as sprucing up other mechanics, and painfully making more things obvious than they were cus, well yeah. Nuff said there. Befallen has changed now as well, and Unrest is next. I think from there on wont need as drastic of a change, maybe more cosmetic.

[ccyre3]

Since the finish of the main story - with a teaser to the next story arc at the end, the going back and resurfacing things has been going going going. Lots of changes, including QOL changes, things made easier in regard to cutting out unneeded repetitive things.

Class and spell changes all in the server updates section of the SE discord - https://discord.gg/adR45C6np4

Pet system in place that is an all class pet upgradable 3 times, made even more powerful for pet classes NEC/MAG/BST. They come with an additional 2 perm swarm pets of their class that change with each upgrade.

Hierloom powersource items in VP that once evolved change in to class specific powersources.

1 time purchased with alt currency clickable bag of pet gear with insane sure to keep that pet alive stats, I mean, why constantly summon a pet over n over right?

More I'm probably forgetting. Also constantly making changes users request within reason.

I think the resurfacing and class changes will be an on going thing so before too long here, ***will be breaking ground on Velious***

[ccyre3]

Ground has officially been broken - Velious, Echoes of the Veil - Chapter 1 in the works - ** Exp Bonus is on until sometime after xmas

Chapter 1 in Velious Complete - Waiting on Loots to be finished up (someone else is handling loots now), So I have moved on to Chapt 2 now already a good ways in creating.

REALLY looking for more people to try this out. Start has been changed, you really need to make it to Kunark to get a feel for how this all is.

[ccyre3]

Velious Chapter 1 Released - Behind being a new expansion, there are loads of other changes in store. Too many to list here. Highly advise you to check out the upcoming features section and server changes section on our discord (link above).

One big perk is I am not in charge of mainstream loot anymore. Delegated to a more experienced player than me. This will allow for faster content creation.

New expansion, new continent, new story arc villain taunting you all the way to PoP. Here we go

OK just saw I was a bit behind on this. What started as me asking devs to do this and that with no luck. Saying F it, I'll just learn it. Through many hours, pain, pestering others here, turned in to working on the 3rd chapter of Velious. Many of the Classic, and Kunark zones now in play here as well as IC/ToFS 1-2, EW, CC in Velious so far.

Warping, boxing, are allowed, but all you really need is the bots.

There are some task/quests for progression, I realize that isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the number of kills etc have been toned down. Not every zone has them. They are more as just a guide to know how to farm/navigate the customizations.

Several optional events in play now as well as a new one just introduced Jan 10, 25.

If you like the classic setting, mixed with QOL changes, an open community willing to listen to change suggestions (so many already done), customizations where manipulation and time manipulation cause havoc to the Norrath you know and love? Step on in. Just when you think things are too easy, blink.


Velious Chapter 2 now open. The exploration continues in to Eastern Wastes, revisit the wandering creatures, giants, and Ry`Gorr fort. Dodge the Raid Encounter unless you wanna give it a spin. Then dive in to crystal caverns, discover the new riches, revisit old friends, and engage the COven of the Eclipse directly. Finally, advance to floor 2 in ToFS and discover the chamber of secrets.

Also a new event has been added for lvl 30-40 which can be built on for higher levels. Just testing it out now

[ccyre3]

Velious Chapter 3 close to completion. Explore the Great Divide and uncover the Covens sect of zealots, intertwined with the local inhabitants. Gain access to Velketors Labyrinth, where the Arm of the Coven has a stronger presence that usual thus far. Ultimately gaining access to the third floor of the Tower of Frozen Shadow where this time you won't find students, but you will find yourself in a prison, rescuing someone again, and unearthing a tyrant of a villain. The heat turns up in the Frozen Shadow.

Also, an alternative way to play is being explored, right from the beginning. So, you will have a choice to make, only at level 1. Shadowed Eclipse: Echos of Fate

Well, what started like any other chapter build, turned in to a challenge. When your ISP blocks ports and you have to dive in to the world of a hosted VPS, and rebuild there, then import not just your DB, but all the tools like alla, magelo, peq, talkeq. Yet still came out ahead, 2 weeks and 3 days later. Ending up with one of the biggest chapter releases yet. Velious Chapter 7 - See's us discovering what has been going on in the Plane of Growth and why it's been so silent and willing to let others trample the grounds of the wakening lands. Take a mandatory detour to a familiar Gorge for a rematch against 2 adversaries. We then enter The Sleeper's Tomb, where The Arm of the Coven has a large stronghold there as it's main base of operation. Finally ending up at the 7th floor of ToFS, where the epic conclusion to this side story concludes.

Easter Event April 16 - 23:

So ocean of tears Easter Island event begins April 16th through the 23rd. It assumes that you are for the first phase between level 30 or 35 to start, for version one of the event. Version 2 assumes you are level 60 which is our current cap but at about the sebillis area in progression. The end game version of The Zone assumes that you are at our current endgame progression which is a step before Temple of veeshan.

All phases have been tested and dilute you stand to acquire from these phases are pretty much best in slot for those three phases.

Each face builds on each other so for instance version one uses three islands which give you access to Easter Island on the bottom of the zone. version 2 uses four islands to give you access to the Easter Island and version 3 uses six islands to give you access to the final Island.

This is not your typical holiday event chasing one Target in the Karanas, this really is a bit of a to-do well reviewed many many items and some unique mechanics on the main item.

Guides have already been written by the players for those who want to sneak peek in the discord dummies section.

If you want in at least on version one you better spin up a character now. See you in game.

We just created a custom autolooting feature not seen anywhere else. ToV is imminent and Ready to begin work on Luclin. https://discord.gg/W6Nhh9fHwt

[ccyre3]

Luclin is soon upon us. We have included in this first release a prereq for Access to the new Hub in the Void. The prereq involves 3 zones with a quest to get 10 specific heads from all of Neriak. While there you will uncover methods to obtain a new set of augs, as well as a rare chance at an evolving item with 5 ranks.

Once done, you will gain access to the new hub which will reveal a big change of pace for us, as well as a new merchant to spend hunting token on. In the void, all portals will be in use, but only 2 activated in first release.

CH 1 takes you to Shadeweavers and Paludal

CH2 takes you to Echo Caverns and The Deep. The amount of items to farm in these 4 zones alone is massive. Some pieces are to combine with merchant bought pieces. Trash minis and bosses all have their own purpose.

All of this leads up to a rare chance to construct an item to gain access to The Deep Upside Down. This will be to date the hardest content made here. A definite 2 person experience. With rewards to make up for it.

Stay tuned for more

Luclin now live!

[ccyre3]

Luclin was a big jump in difficulty, there was a lot of blood and tears shed. The edges have been sanded and everything is flowing smoothly now. Just about to release the 3rd chapter now. However so much more went in to the initial 1st two chapters as you say on the discord post. Also to come with CH3, rebirthing, something I said I'd never do but its worth it, still totally optional. 10 times with the 10th being a class specific AA. Then, change classes and do it all over again 10 more times for all 16 classes? Up to you.

Also we now have a fully functioning donator vendor now with a LOT of items for an initial release. More already planned.

Chapter 4 is almost upon us, this week being a holiday week for Canada and the US, and without having a new event in place, the popular Easter event has been re-enabled and back by popular demand.

This would be a good time for new comers to pop in and spin up a toon if you've been on the fence about SE this far

[ccyre3]

Luclin Chapter 4 - The story continues on in to The Tenebrous Mountains - To gain access to Kata Castellum you will need to discovery the mysteries of this mountainous zone. Not all is as it seems. Various pieces of numerous puzzles to be solved to reach new heights. Which all lead to the way to Katta.

Once in Katta, deal with a force that has been swayed by the Umbral Chorus and The Coven itself. Yet still, Lcea herself struggles to fight that urge and you can witness her pain in that struggle. If you can defeat her, there is a small chance the opening of Katta's defenses, may attract unwanted advances.

Deep within Katta, there is a way to unlock the Upside Down Katta. Whether you want to go in or not, is another question.
