<p>I've seen the same complaint now in a few threads about the EU servers getting the GU after the US servers. </p><p>So I'm curious.  In the past several years, when is the last time all the servers were patched at the same time for a GU that wasn't also the launch of a new paid for expansion?  Does it happen very often?  From reading the complaints today it would seem like it happens all the time.</p>

[fatherjules]

<p>it is used to be a couple of hours</p>

[Koleg]

<p>Can we please discuss the unaddressed isses that have been plaguing the Class Prestige Feedback forums?</p>

<p>Lol, that is to be expected though. Remember Great Divide when DoV came out. Hopefully I will be ok tonight only because I play at really, really odd hours. *crosses fingers*</p>

It's the second half of what we paid for long ago, but it got delayed becuase they were busy with something else. As such, it should have been on all servers at the same time. It also doesn't help that misinformation abounds. It was announced that Splitpaw would be down from 5am London Time on the 17th for the update. It also says on the launcher when you log in "Skyshrine is Live!" So if SOE is telling us in two places that we have the update, is it unreasonable to be a tad disappointed to discover that we're only getting it tomorrow?</p>

[Mystfit]

<p>I have only peeked a little bit..saved a puppy, did some crafting, did some exploring and harvesting. It's pretty crowded up there!</p>

[CleeGrahamx2099]

<p>It will be crowded for quite a while. Just curious, how many different zones of Withered Lands are there so far? At least 10? Did they add a portal to go between different zones like Great Divide and EW?</p>

[Foretold]

<p>Personally, I'll be leveling somewhere else tonight.  I'll give the content a week to settle down before I visit. I can't wait, though...</p>

[CMArgoian]

<p>I have enjoyed the new content and haven't experienced any lag thus far. </p><p>I too lost vitality when I initially logged in, but it seemed to come back very quickly too. </p>

[SlashnGut]

<p>Where to start.</p><p>1) Laggy as hell but may just be my comp.</p><p>2) went from 100% vitality to 35% vitality just by logging in.</p><p>3) Ran into 2 bugged quests already. Bugged one and just gave up and logged out after the second one. I will try again in a few days when maybe they have fixed the bugs that should have been fixed before leaving test.</p><p>4) XP sucks in new areas. Not really complaining but have done probably 20 quests and killed a lot of mobs and have gotten less than 40% of a level (and yes my slider is where it should be and has been since I started in the new zone). 2 zones is not much so I am guessing they purposely lowered xp gain to make people level slower.</p>

[NANEEJE]

<p>WELL DONE!!!</p><p>Lag is from over population, i was in WL 7 most the night, did very well.</p><p>Leveling by quests takes about 1% if your lucky per turn in. I turned in 15 quests and got only 4% in Tunare, but... I'm glad, Knowing that you can just farm Seb for your two levels in 2 hours is kind of crappy.</p><p>I enjoyed the content, and the buggy quests these people speak of, just needed a little TLC, stand in the right spot, hail him over and over a few times, and good to go.</p><p>Great job on the update, still waiting for mounts and more flying shinies, only got one tonight, can't find anymore.</p>

This is probably the only level 90+ content until December. What's the hurry?</p>

[SlashnGut]

<p>#4 was not really a complaint Feldon, just a statement. As I said 2 levels is not much so they made it take longer to get there. If I wanted it that bad I would have just gone to another zone that wasn't lagging and powered through it in an hr as some people did.</p><p>And as far as overpopulation the poster above you said was the cause of the lag that was not the case as I was in Instance 7 with 47 people in it and was lagging badly, which is why I said it was possibly (and most likely) my computer due to age and basically being a crappy computer.</p><p>I also never stated I did not like the quests nor appreciate them, I said they were bugged, which was the truth. 1 of the bugs I managed a workaround with finally (which is the one mentioned by a poster above that you have to keep moving around and clicking until the hail works), the second one there was no workaround as no matter where I stood it did not work and others had the same problem, thus not me standing in the wrong spot. It was simply a bugged quest.</p><p>I think the content looks great, Will just be happy when I can play continually without the lag and hopefully without the bugs as running 11 toons through laggy bugged content is no fun.</p>

[Katz]

<p>I won't really have time to start the new content until Friday, but I'm looking forward to it.  What I've read about it intrigues me.   I'm in no rush to level the two levels and want to do all the quests.  </p>

[feldon30]

<p>I absolutely applaud the solo/duo/molo (solo+merc) content that's been added. I think we will see a lot of folks running this content for the challenge (the names have scripts and drop health/power/dps consumables usable within the 3 solo/duo instances). And the rewards for running these zones will be massive upgrades for people wearing Ry'Gorr and instance jewelry/cloaks/weapons.</p>

[Jemmia]

<p>can you please tell me why my game is streaming as im logged in,when i downloaded the full update, i also ensure that in the options the streaming client wasnt ticked.</p><p>Thanks</p>

[PeterJohn]

<p>Persistent bug which was reported during Testing: When you earn your a prestige point, you cannot spend it until you zone or camp to self.</p><p>I am very impressed with Skyshrine GU 63. The zone is beautiful. I am almost finished with the quest series to unlock the 3 heroic instances, and it was very enjoyable and challenging enough to keep my group's interest. There is a bottleneck step that is annoying in that you have to camp a contested heroic mob, battling groups that are trying to campsteal your mob. I love that the step prior, your group has to campsteal the mob from the NPC groups that is there. Nice touch hehe. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>The biggest thing that bothers me about the new update was the fact that they said that it would take alot longer to lvl ... and yet when i logged in 8 hours after the up date i see people running around that are lvl 92 already.</p>

[Geothe]

<p>BUG:The quest line granting access to the various heroic instances.  For scouts, the Shoulders and Boots rewards are BEASTLORD equipable only, while every other archaetype has multi-class equipable rewards.  Please correct this ASAP and make it retroactive so those that have completed the quest arent shafted out of their correct rewards.</p>

I had about a dozen collections and over 20 quests to turn in as soon as GU 63 went Live. I suspect many players who had been maxed out had the same or many more turn ins ready to go.</p>

<p><em>"Actuation Scroll Acquisition" This quest in the access chain had several groups in a sort of contested time-warped zone camping Draconic Gate Caller, which seemed to have a 15m respawn.  Could we have the mob spawn triggered by the group entering the ROI, or a much faster respawn, or instanced versions of the zone where it starts spawned in?</em></p>

<p>Yes, it follows me in WL, its a "lost drakkel pup" - something like that. I have not tried getting it killed and getting another. On my way back to the first WL camp to turn in quests I found the pup with a feather over its head, accepted his quest, turned in other updates, then followed the blue quest dot on my map. I found no "red book" npc to complete it and just tried clicking on the handler who was at the map location. After running around for a minute to see if I needed to run through a certain spot to get an automatic update for bringing him back, I just called home.</p><p><cite>Atan@Unrest wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><p><cite>ashnolo wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><p>the quest is Can I Keep It?

[Whilhelmina]

<p>You need to have the pup still following you and the pup can get killed (and will get killed if you get hit by a mob doing some kind of group damage). Best way is get the pup, hop on the horse without getting seen by a satyr and go turn the quest in. The second quest after that one has the same problem, best way there is to get the pup (there's some to the west of K'val ruins), fly back to entrance, rince and repeat</p>

<p>So far a poor Update: First; your Community Manager doesn't know what day of the week it is. Second; heroic quest rewards being for Beastlord only if you are Scout Third; You fix the quest rewards and the class focus doesn't actually work, unless you are a beastlord. (Rianna's now uses a concentration slot, Dexterous Sonata does not receive a 3% addition to Crit Bonus for Dirges). Fourth; loot itemisation in the instances is well and truly buggered. Must be at least 75% priest so far. Fifth: Reused instances, far too much of this.. On a good point though: Enjoyed the Drakota fight, most amusing and challenging. </p>

<p>I didn't really get to play any until Friday in the new DOV part 2 area.  I must say I'm really enjoying this.  I love the art of the zones.   The quests are fun.  And so far I'm really enjoying Skyshrine.  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/e8a506dc4ad763aca51bec4ca7dc8560.gif" border="0" /></p>

[Necrotherian]

<p>I just had an awesome idea.  How about making the gear drops from the solo quest turn in lore, then make it where if we already have a given gear item in our inventory, it skips to the next available item?  That way, if we run the zone enough times, we'll eventually get gear that our toon can use. (Although, given my luck, there are probably hundreds of non-mage gear items I'd have to make space for in my inventory just so I could make it <em>to</em> the mage gear.)</p>
