MMORPG Interview on Eclipse
MMORPG had a group interview with:
Paul Kubit
Kim Flack
We've summarized the interview below, but you can see the original piece on MMORPG.
Interview Summary
Paladins
The new Paladin races of Undead, Night Elf, and Trolls fit into the narrative of the Void versus the Light. The timing makes sense.
Some quests tell the backstory of how specific characters of each race discovered the ability to be Paladins.
The three new races all get their own charger. There's a glowing horse, raptor, and cat.
Legendary
The Legendary is not the Black Blade of the Empire.
There's a questline associated with the Legendary dagger, and you're going to learn a lot about the dagger and why it's a good idea to wield it.
You can definitely see some similarities between the dagger and the Legion Artifact.
Gearing
They made a lot of changes going into Season 2 regarding gearing, with the Catalyst retaining secondary stats and bonus rolls from the Vault.
They've been looking at the data and feedback, and there's valid feedback that maybe Bonus Rolls did come in too early.
They're currently working on Season 3's itemization.
There are some other cool ideas, but they're not ready to talk about them yet.
Another point of feedback they've gotten is that because of the presence of Bonus Rolls, some of the "fun loot wall" has disappeared.
