So onto the new expansion.
- Level Cap DOES NOT increase to 105 it stays at 100.
- New Spells and AA's
- Mercs are getting passive AA's and 4 armor slots
- New raid zones no announcement of how many although the developers said they designed whole bunch of new raids. Less complex than RT and more forgiving if one or two players screw up
- Undead in at least 2 zones (Neriak and Dead Hills)
-Lots of instanced content - think LDON on steroids- the instances have Also the content will change each time you zone in chosen by highest level player and class makeup. All made for level 95-100 players.
Fixes to look forward to......
- LLA and RAA's are going to be added to the game as passive skills for all players, and the old systems being removed from the game
- They are simplifying the Raid coinage systems
- They gonna fix issues with the quest/mission windows, Guild management and raid windows to ease functionality. possible asst. raid leader functionality incase the RL goes LD.
Besides the 4 armor slots and aa's for mercs, you will have a stats page for merc stats too. Yes you will be able to see the same merc stats as you do for your character.
Don't expect the new expansion's raid gear to be an improvement over the existing T4 RoF gear. They said that do to this expansion not having a level increase that the new raid gear will just be adding variety to the loot, in forms of appearance and effects, versus the real stat increases that previous expansions have. The intent is to keep T4 Raid gear as viable throughout the life of the new expansion so there will be very minor stat upgrades over RoF T4 raid and group gear.
"T4 raid gear will remain relevant without question"
