Anniversary Edition Support

[gernblan]

Well, I just hate it when they only do a few here and there. Like having lavastorm and nekrulos be new but surrounded by the old zones just makes them look like what they are: bolted on and half-a$$.

IF they want to revamp zones, then revamp all of them in that expansion.

If they want to stay more modern (and some zones NEED it... WOW they look like crap by today's standards.. been to Kerra isle lately (for example)? But if they do it, they should do it with the continuity of the world in mind.

Old zone -> new zone -> old zone -> old zone -> new zone (etc.)

gives me whiplash

Do the whole expansion or don't do it at all.

And to keep this thread on topic, or at least provide a feeble attempt to guide it back on... heh... got my copy of Anniversary Edition in the mail today. Think I may install it and see what one can zone into already. And thanks for making that list (so far)! If I discover anything I'll post here so that it will help the SQL along...

Haha guess what ? The new tox zone does include Kerra ridge. Found that out while exploring these new zones... doh.

And you can zone into every single zone listed... except the few listed as crashing on zone-in.

Last zones i found.. looks like that's all.

428 : Blacksail Folly					?	?	?
429 : maiden's grave					?	?	?
430 : redfeather isle					?	?	?
431 : the open sea					0	-100    100
432 : the open sea (ok...)				0	-80	50
433 : the open sea (lol ?)				-100	80	50
434 : the open sea....					0	0	50
435 : the open sea					0	-80	50

Can someone who played that expansion explain me why there's 5 zones with just 2 ships in the middle of nothing ?! Cause these are indeed 5 different zones, ships never looks the same.

Isn't that the Burning Sea zones for the ship v. ship adventures? Not 100% sure.

The best two things about TBS is the new katta model and air elementals. They look really good!

I am somewhat of a visual buff myself. My biggest beef is not PC and NPC models, but the zones themselves. I load up emu and zone into NQeynos and I just get disgusted by the ground texurtes of the older zones. Its just those that drive me away as I feel like im walking on a watered down painting smeared to hell and back. I think that EQ could hold alot of promise with a major graphical overhaul, but I dont think the engine is going to support alot of nice features. I know though that it could handle higher res textures, and that alone would make for a super significate improvment. At least for me.

EQ AE is available in the store where I live, but I couldn't wait so purchased Titanium on ebay yesterday. Woohoo ! Looking forward to checking it out this coming week.
