-Launch Date: November 18th.
-Beta: Mid to Late October.
-Delayed because they are moving into their new building and they have to set up to start.

-Plane of Health portals from Collectors Edition+ is placeable in Guild Hall, anyone can use it in your guild.
-Plane of Health zone in is in Plane of Tranquility near Plane of Nightmare, it is a crystal.

-Plane of Fear zone in is in Plane of Tranquility, on the hill behind Plane of Disease.
-Plane of Hate zone in is in Plane of Tranquility, outside of the building that the Plane of Knowledge port in is located in.

-Quellious in Plane of Tranquility, starts the expansion.

-Elidroth doing PoHate and PoFear, at least 7 of the 15 raids are in them, also has group content.
-Fear: CT, Dracoliche and the 3 Golems, Golems are like one-off raids. Hate: Innorruuk and Maestro. So far, could be more before Launch.
-Armor seems to have Base lvl 75 version, then you use points to upgrade as you want to upgrade it.

-Heroes Forge: 4 sets, 1 for Raiders, 1 for Groupers, and 2 not shown yet.

-Aristo is on Items as well as normal Spells/Patches.

-Sul Vius: Demi-Plane of Life and Sul Vius: Demi-Plane of Decay are sort of Mirrors, you get a Mirror clicky early in progression that lets you swap between these, later missions will require you to travel between versions and manipulate things.

-Each class has a Core Focused Spell, it has 6 ranks and you get a new rank as you progress through the Expansion. It will be useful and expensive to use.

-Demi-Planes count as 2 zones in the 7 zone count.

-Have to do all raid content to progress on.
-Raid Gear not tiered, want you to do it all. 1 set of Armor, 2 sets of Weapons + Non-Vis.
-No Cultural Armor.
-Many Weapon and Shield graphics.
-Each raid has at least 1 Best in Slot item for someone.
-15 Raids for now, might be more before Launch.

-2 Currencies, 1 for Raid, 1 for Group.

Cazic, Dracoliche are full-blown 54-man raids. Fright, Dread, and Terror are simpler raids similar to what I did with the NToV dragons.



Q.VoA AAs to be added to auto-grant with release of expansion?

Elidroth
Developer
A. The auto-granting of AA will auto-update every expansion release. We designed it into the system from the beginning. It's just part of how...
