Any news on felwithe castle or LU33?

[Gungo]

<p>Basically i am wondering whats the word on the felwithe castle (raid zone) and LU33. LU 32 was anticipated becuase people heard of what was included. So i was wondering what teasers we could get.</p><p>Its also good to see Archonix working on itemization and illucide on tradeskills. I anticipate to see what those dev's will bring to both those areas.</p>

Man, you only JUST got LU32, and it was on Test for weeks, which is where much of the excitement came from.  Give 'em a little time to get the first Test patch of 33 together!  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Except the fact the majority of what goes into a live update is completed up to a month prior to release. Given the fact unrest was annouced shortly after LU30 i do not find it unresonable to get a projected date for felwithe castle. Also if things are working as they normally do. They should be internally testing that content which may be included within LU33. Unrest was on test for about 2 weeks which is ideally the test time for any Live update. Anyway the point of the post has less to do with LU33 and to see if i could illicit a response from a developer on when "Felwithe Castle" is projected for release. Not to mention many people were wondering if the second part of the Swords of destiny series is coming in Lu33 as well.</p><p>On a side note its pretty safe to say that many people thought the beginning series of the swords of destiny was lacking. Mainly in the fact of the Grey content and harvesting aspect of the premier quest seires for a T7 potentially epic quest line. I don't mind running to wailing caves to kill lord ree. But a seperate instnace LvL 70 soloable/heroic version should have been used instead of the forced solo killing of T2 named  2hour repop mobs. There was even a door in the back that could have been used to support this instance. Instead it seemed this quest line was severaly rushed and poorly done. I have come to notice there are quality devs and poor devs at soe. And i am coming to the disappointing conclusion of which type of dev is on this project. </p><p>There are devs like archonix and illucide (even lockeye although not many appreciate the complexity of his work) whose work i anticipate. And some whom i don't feel a need to name who make me cringe when i hear they are working on a project. </p><p>And yes Lu32 was great. It gave me alot to do the last week. Got 6 of 7 class legendary pieces now (just need helm). Finished the first part of the swords of destiny line and made some more adornments for guidies.</p>

I think what it comes down to is the High end raiders want something new.  Its nearing the end of the expansion cycle and all of the zones are being scaled down to support the casual raider so SoE doesn't lose their player base.

Hmm I played a pally for almost 7 years on EQ1 and never lost aggro to an SK and would hang up my sword if I ever did lol. However, pally stuns are great for aggro, and the warrior class got beefed in EVERYTHING except for being able to take a hit.... Of course any warrior with good AA's should be able to keep aggro.......should, lol.
