Been awhile since we've said anything here, so I'm gonna talk a bit about what team backend *wink*has been doing.
First off the amount of new coding going into Ikisith is pretty unreal. Every encounter you've seen thus far in game, be it solo, group, or raid, has been working under very stiff limits. Anyone whose reached tier 6 or so is probably familiar with what NPCs can do. Even under these limitations though, we find ways to surprise you.
Well those limits have been blown apart.
It it not an exaggeration to say we've probably doubled the NPC move set. Some of these abilities and moves silently replace existing ones, but give us more control, others are so new and exciting they've already slipped into the newer content.
The enemies know more about you, your group, and your raids than ever before. And they can manipulate this information in all new ways. More engaging encounters, that challenge everyone in new ways.
More enhancements to your push button abilities have also resulted. New life is going to be brought to some otherwise dismissed moves that will likely disarm and intimidate you!
Certainly don't want to spoil it for you, but even the most experienced of you will be in for some great surprises. It's not just new, more dangerous zones, but also new, more dangerous monsters in every way imaginable.
