HoC Chat - May 16th.

[Nolrog]

There is another HoC chat coming up with the EQ Devs on Wednesday (May 16th).

Are there any tradeskill related questions that you'd like asked?

Due to the horrendous vile backlash of flames I suffered through the last time I tried, I won't be asking anything other than tradeskill related (and things I come up with myself.) I hope you understand.

As always, Ngreth is not allowed to peek (is it peek or peak?) at this thread.

Given that every expansion adds tons more tradeskill drops and also No Trade quest drops (for quests/tasks that ask you to Collect X # of doo-dads) revamp things to alleviate this problem somehow? {For example, one good thing about the TBS pirate tasks, is that items collected are not No Trade, so you could store them on an alt if you like until you are ready to do the hand ins...}

Any chance that level V & VI forcus effects recipes for augments will be implemented...not just the BAzu/Last Blood style, but the OoW style that can fit in slot 7/8 ?

What are the plans for Spell Research in the next couple of expansions (SoF and teh one after that...)

[JonzeGirl]

Well this is tradeskill related - can you please ask when they will be putting in the forage for all AA? Ngreth indicated in this thread http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq/showthread.php?t=29422 that it was fixed but that Nodyin was waiting on something. Hopefully not the new expansion.... since it was supposed to go live with TSS.

Also, in the press release for the upcoming expansion there was mention of Meldrath and fighting "angry clockwork machines". Would like to know if they will be adding the tinkering drops from PoInnovation and/or Corathus Creep to those mobs.

And lastly, OMG are they are least *considering* adding more bank space?!

Thanks a ton!

Ngreth has stated that he plans/hopes that he will make new level 80 versions of the cultural armors for the upcoming expansion. Are there currently any plans to add a new tier of type 12 augs, similar to the Last Blood augs, to go along with the new tier of armor?

[utania]

Will the changes to cutural armour reduce the bank space burden on those that like to tradeskill?

[Kcalehc]

Are there any plans to expand on cultural tradeskills? (ie cultural weapons, jewelery, augments, do something to upgrade the older stuff. Or even deity specific ones)

Why are cultural trades simply a 'copy-and-paste' job between cultures? (I mean they are all the same, isn't it incredible how many 'cultures' managed to develop the exact same method of making stuff, with the exact same components despite separation on different continents[in some cases])

Are there any plans to have some more player made charms? (cultural or not)

Can we get more type 12 slots in places we can actually use them, or more type 12 augments that fit into slots that we cactually have? (theres definately a disparity between type 12 augs and things with type 12 slots on them)

thats all I can think of right now, thnks for the time.

too bad! I like having nothing to say during the chats!

[Nolrog]

Don't make me ask that question about shavnig again.

[Unapuma]

Tradeskill related; can we have sushi at all? There are rice, soy sauce, seaweed and assorted fishes and crabs to make various sushi rolls.

I think you said in the past you don't want a RL cultural recipes in game but you have slipped stuff under different names, such as a pizza type meal in the game. So if you could find a way to slip sushi under assumed name...

I have read several threads on various boards about this. One of the devs responded that adding more bank slots is not an easy thing to do in the code.

It sounded like there is very little hope of getting any more bank slots from the feel I got.

One of the devs responded that adding more bank slots is not an easy thing to do in the code.

I can believe that, considering the mess they did by adding the power source slot, which shifted the eqtype of the range slot, all the bags and all the bag slots...

If not more bank space, how about a new Trader Satchel? The new one weighs 50 and is a 16 slot bag.

Quest related:

Can we use the EQ2 Quest model now? when I find something for a quest, I right click on it and add it to my quest and it dissapears. It is still logged with the quest though. Add more "quest" spaces too.

More bag slots = bad mojo

[olhoss]

Is there a plan to make non-raid augs for type 12 slots? Or non 4A augs that are the equivalent of Chronal/Discordant? Currently you can put a really weak DoN aug there or waste a 4A on a slightly less weak aug.

Are there any plans to make some of the rare components that make 4A boxes so expensive easier to get? Or at least easier to camp?

[Rawckett]

Can somebody cut and paste the log here please.
