Topic: What I like/dislike from SOL

Good:

Tinkerable trade skill enhancing items. For around 100pp in materials I believe, you can tinker/get tinkered a primary slot item that ups a trade skill 5%.

You can buy diamonds in one of the mage guilds for ~200pp. I bet you wish you had waited now, Mightion.

Bad:

Market for FS plate has been almost destroyed. Cheaper, same AC + minor stats can be bought from merchants.

Any you can add?

Bad: 50+ Vah Shir BeastMasters in the same newbie area looking for the same uncommon drop, only to destroy it when they fail their skill checks.

Bad: Frame rate and zone loading times (but Verant knows and is working on this).

Good: Nexus.

Good: The arena in the Bazaar. It looks like it might be bigger than The Arena (as far as PVP area goes), and it has better spectator seating. Very cool.

Good: New Mage spells. Even at 26, I can twink a kitty with leather armor, shield, and spear (old spell), all for just some mana.

Good: The Vah Shir look very cool. I really like the way male Vah Shir look in leather. Boy, is THAT comment going to come back to haunt me. Also, I've noticed that my Vah Shir has a very cool walking animation. He doesn't just look badass, he walks and moves badass. So, I've had my Vah Shir Warrior walking in Kelethin, and wearing leather armor (took forever to earn that).

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

Good : Vah'Shir

Good : Solo'ing a yellow chitterling and losing ~10hp of health.

Bad : Framerate troubles unless I turn down clipping, but damnit, I like clipping up high!

Good : Vah'Shir models ROCK

Good : Shar Vahl VERY quickly became my favorite city.

Bad : Having the glorious, proud Vah'Shir walking around with people named 'Puddytatt' and 'Catpoop'.

Good : My desktop can handle SoL fairly well.

Bad : My laptop can handle most 3D games quite well, but bugs out on EQ...

I have a longer list, but this is a good start. Needless to say, to me... the good outweighs the bad.

Good: The ability to toggle off/on each of the new character models by race and gender as well as other effects concerning graphics.
This has allowed me to play Luclin somewhat decently on my computer without having to upgrade just yet. *however the need for an upgrade is coming up.. perhaps after the Fan Faire* ^_^

Good: Knowing that Verant is still working at ironing out the glitches and problems with this expansion.. honestly people.. did you expect it to work perfectly? Or shall I remind everyone how slow and laggy things were at the beginning.. and after each expansion. It all gets ironed out over the next few months.. I really wish people would stop ragging on Verant.. Its hard trying to please everyone at once.. If something isnt implemented.. its not implemented for a reason. *shakes her head* Sorry, that was my pent up rant from all these months of people complaining about the character models as well as these past few days the game has been out.

Good: The models.. enough said.

I really dont have anything bad to say about it. I like what I am seeing so far and I know that they are working on fixing the bugs n stuff and working towards making the game run smoother. =)

Diamonds are not a vendor item. The one I found must have been sold by a player, for they weren't there yesterday.

Shut up about the darned Combine armor - you're threatening my livelihood!

That's too bad, because in the Bazaar I can do one-zone fine plate in any size as long as I have leather padding...

The male Vah Shir look like they have breasts, especially in plate armor, and it is VERY noticable when they turn.

The females look good.

My chanter looks GREAT in his Jumpy robe.

Good: The new models. Yes, I'm one of the insane freaks who likes all of them.

Bad: Having higher then the recommended specs and still not being able to turn around smoothly for the first 3 minutes in a zone

Good: Awesome new zones, both look, exp, and loot-wise.

Good: The Nexus finally gives me a way to get off of Feydwer without /shouting for a port for an hour or more

Bad: Some bard songs (the new SoL ones) still aren't working consistantly (yes, me and my guild have /bugged it)

And you can still be free, If time will set you free

Where can you touch down onto Norrath from the Nexus?
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

The portals in the Nexus go to NK, DL, Gfay, and Tox - the four BIG wizzy spires.

Also, can you go from Nexus to the wizzie spires like you can teleport via the fire pots in Tim Deep? Or is it a 15 minute cycle like at the wizzie spires to get to Nexus?

Yes, there's a cycle of fifteen minutes... the portals on Norrath activate at the same time as the portals on Luclin.

Last I saw, it says 15 minutes, but the cycle is 30 minutes. But this was 4 days ago or so.

The Good: I wouldn't get bugged for ports from lonely bards anymore.

Well, hey, at least it got me out of Freeport and exploring again. I really want to find a good place to hunt undead so I can play with Instrument of Nife again... those wolves and such in Dawnshroud bite for 80's, so soloing is a pain, especially in 45... people keep bringing trains of those darn shrooms to the NL zone, which bites...

But I like it, framerate issues aside... I just wish:

1. More guildies had it so we can travel together
2. That my armor was shiny again. Other races in this plate texture set are shiny...

Well.. I like the arena in Sanctus Seru. Its cool.
Im also happy that I have not been killed by a dragon on the moon yet... but I know its coming... stupid dragons.

I like some of the new models. My barbarian looks cool, so does my dark elf wizzy. But my poor DE shadow knight looks funny now. So does my half elf bard. (Unless in DE illusion with her guardian robe.. looks very nice )
But, I do not like how leather and tizmak look the same, ry'gorr and banded, and I really dont like how guardian looks like fine plate. Took me two months to camp the stupid stuff cause I thought it looked cool.. now it looks like evrything else..

And the lag/zoning time reminds me of Kunark when it first came out... it got better, so i'll just wait and hope it gets better again.
