Yet again, facts are hard to come by, but it seems the PQ happens about once an hour, alternating between The Commonlands and Antonica. Less welcome is the cadence for the Public Quests themselves. I can see the PQ staying busy for the whole of the holiday. Quite a few people are going to want that egg to hatch and some are going to want it on more than one character. The familiar, a patchwork baby dragon named Carina Cuddleblaze, is exceptionally cute. I can see that this is going to annoy some people but I think it's rather clever. Most of this is subject to revision as more information comes in. No-one seems quite sure exactly how many - there's probably a random factor - but the consensus is somewhere between six and ten. To hatch your egg you need to be graded "ProActive" a number of times. ProActive, the one you want, means not only hitting the mobs but also handing the flowers to the lover and, crucially, clearing the black and purple flowers before they have a chance to spawn baddies. "Active" means hitting stuff when it spawns and registering sufficient damage. This time, however, you can be rated Passive, Active or ProActive.įor "Passive" you just have to be there. Firstly, as is often the case with Public Quests, your participation is graded. I learned that this PQ has a couple of clever mechanics. Fortunately the Test chat channel, which I have been in since the game began, even though I haven't played on Test regularly for nearly ten years, was buzzing with people talking about the new content. I would have looked it up but at the time no-one had written the new PQ up in detail. So they tell me.Īs well as a warm glow (someone did actually say " AIt seemed to be a Familiar but there was no obvious way to hatch it.
When our group came in range of the other coming towards us, the two lovers sprinted into each others' decaying embrace, together for eternity. The first time I ran the PQ (I've only done it twice so far) I followed my regular method outlined above and attacked/clicked on anything I could see. The yellow and red ones urge the lover on (his or her outline glows the color of the one you're supposed to hand over) while the purple and black ones spawn aggressive undead out to spoil love's union. To do this you pick various colored flowers as they spawn. The two lost souls begin on opposite sides of the zone and you have to guide them towards a re-union in the middle. It was hard to see with all the mounts, mercs and familiars milling about. The idea is to re-unite two lovers, separated by death. It's beautifully designed easy to understand, simple to run, fun to do and thematically appropriate. The new PQ is called " Love Will Lead You Back". My team on the right, waiting for the slowcoaches coming down the hill to meet us. I just follow everyone else, attack anything that's aggro, click on anything that's not and have a rare old time. They're often chaotic and I generally have no idea what I'm doing.
There's a new collection this year, which I did right away, but the highlight of 2019's holiday is a new Public Quest. And that's not even considering the dozen recipe books of craftable items or the event currency you can farm to spend at a special vendor. When you consider that most of those can be done per character, not just per account, that's almost too much to cram into just under a fortnight. There are half a dozen one-off quests and almost a dozen repeatables, as well as a race, two collections and getting on for twenty achievements. I never really thought of Erollisi Day as one of the big dates on the calendar but looking at the schedule it's really grown over the years.
The celebrations started yesterday and run until Tuesday the 19th. If it's Valentine's Day on Earth it must be Erollisi Day in Norrath.
