Mysteries of Nektulos Forest behind gnolls clan Tresnolapov defeated, Pillars of Flame studied far and wide as heaven Kingdom. Fans of EverQuest II are ready for the next tests, which they expect to add new Echoes of Faydwer.
At this time, SOE has departed from the tradition of making addons exclusively for high-level characters. Echoes of Faydwer will be able to fully enjoy both beginners and long-time subscribers to EQ2. As you know, for all the players' never-ending journey "began on a small island, where the instructors are acquainted with the basics of gameplay and gave unpretentious setting. Now there's a choice: more home area was the forest city of Kelethin (Kelethin), located on the new continent Feydver (Faydwer). Just walk along the platform located on the branches of gigantic trees, and touched the magic, filling all around, you realize how drab and unprepossessing was a rocky island "newbies". In addition, Kelethin you will not explain where to go and what to do all the basic skills are invited to learn during the passage of exciting quests.

In addition to standard races now have a new - Fairies (Fae) - a tiny fragile wings, and an inborn talent for magic. They like to poke fun at everyone around, and consider the forest their home Feydvera. Over time, the characters of this race will take a new shape, which significantly increase the speed of movement and ability to soar allow them to jump from any height without much harm. Since the fairies - being naive and kind, to play for them cmogut only those who chose the bright side. The citizens of Freeport (Freeport) try iridescent wings will not succeed. However, both that and the other, this restriction does not prevent you from completing more than 350 new quests and explore another page in the history of the world Norrath (Norrath). For example, you can find out where the gnomes have taken place, and who built the majestic Kelethin.
Veterans of the first EverQuest remember that the gods in it play a significant role. Over time, citizens of the warring city-states of Qeynos (Qeynos) and Freeport have lost faith, because the higher powers have ceased to show itself. And in the Echoes of Faydwer they are back. Depending on which side you play, you can choose a specific deity. The bright side for the worship of Tunare available, and Kvellis Mithaniel Marr; dark - Innoruuk, Cazic-Thule and Rallos Zek. And those who adhere to neutrality, will offer prayers Solusek Ro and Brellu Serilisu. To receive an award from the higher powers of Norrath (blessings and miracles), we must first earn their position. This is achieved by completing quests, and the sacrifice of valuable items.Points location - it's kind of currency, for which the faithful can gain new skills, high level potions and stuff.

Changes have affected and crafts. In addition players have the opportunity to learn two new professions: the engineer (tinkerer) and Technomages (transmuter). The first is capable of doing different things: from trinkets that give a small bonus to artifacts, reviving the owner after the death of the second - to disassemble the valuables on the materials from which they were created, and then use the resulting resources to create jewelry that will improve the quality and the magical power of things . For example, metal studs on the armor will increase its strength, and enchanted embers attached to the sword, will add to the fire damage each strike.
The complexity of the new raid instances in order of magnitude than previous ones. One of the easiest dungeons - The Secret Shelter freethinkers - now is not immediately amenable to even the best PvE-guilds. And the coolest bosses - Vuoshi, Tykvoglavy rider and Avatars - while generally remain unbeaten. However, the rewards for their destruction is appropriate: the new kits of the legendary and epic armor valuable reagents, etc. In general, many of the locations appearing in the expansion are already familiar to veterans of EverQuest for the first part. SOE has returned to Norrath Butcherblock Mountains (Butcherblock) and Stimfonta (Steamfont), locking Mistmur (Mistmoore) and chessboards. The new graphics performance they look at the procedure more attractive. There were also old enemies such as Meyong Mistmur and Orcs-Kostolomov.
| Something about Feydvere |
Feydver is home to many races of Norrath: dwarves, wood elves, dwarves, forest vampires, fairies and many others. Its name from the continent was the high elves, who moved to the land after the death of their native forests Elddar (Elddar) in Antonica. According to rumors, Feydver become a haven of two ancient creatures of Norrath: Vampire Meyonga Mistmura and the last surviving member of the race Cage (men-fish), named after Finingel Autropos.

To make the characters even more unique, the developers have entered in the complement of Alternative Points of achievement, which, starting from level 10, are distributed between the two branches. One belongs to a class, the other - to Division player. Changes have affected, and magic. Druids get the spell transporting an unlimited number of players to the rings of Druid (these ancient sculptures located around the world Norrath, from Antonica and ending mountains Stimfonta), and wizards can summon a group of one of its members who is far away. The game has a lot of other innovations. Characters have the ability to wear cloaks emblem guild, guild level of the bar has risen to 60, adding new collections ... This is enough to take you another six months in advance. And there, staring, and new adventures podospeyut.

Patriotic localization Echoes of Faydwer should appear in stores by the end of the Christmas holidays. Assumed to produce two complete.

Of course, without a fly in the ointment could not have done. SOE is still unwilling to optimize the game engine, although it is far from ideal: at maximum settings enabled the shadows, he still is able to kneel down any PC. It remains unclear, and the apparent reluctance of developers to improve PvP-system. Do not argue, in the expansion, new PvP-awards and titles, but the implementation of the combat system is still limping, but the arena, designed for fighting players as empty as before. There were in Echoes of Faydwer and without errors. For example, one of the magic class is capable of producing fantastic damage, killing even the most powerful bosses of a pair of fireballs. Because of this, many of the guild had no clean up efforts of many dungeons and collect trophies. Another bug allows you to raise your character options to unimaginable heights. On the other hand, it is nice to know that the Russian release of the game are annoying missteps (like many others) will already be fixed with patches. Come soon, the installation of Echoes of Faydwer in EverQuest II servers Russian speakers scheduled for mid-late January.
