Jim has this listed on his site starting 30 minutes later than VR is listing it. Oh well I'd rather be 30 minutes early than 30 minutes late.
Until then enjoy Bob Ross!

That was a great stream. Had a really bad start (late, tons of bugs in the first 20 mins), but it finished with a bang, doing that raid boss at the end.
I like Cohh as a streamer, but you could tell that Jim Lee was getting addicted to the game, and his enthusiasm rubbed off in his presentation. It was getting late, and Lee wouldn't stop playing..lol
One of the longer streams I've seen in awhile, and enjoyed every min of it.
Done watching the stream, it was a lot of fun.
Especially Aradune going solo xD
One thing I did not like was the twitch chat overlay (hope that's the right term for it), it was really disturbing. I keept getting distracted by it and stopped listning to what was being said. I ended up taping a piece of paper on my screen to block it.
Besides that it was really enjoyable.
-sorte.
Loved the stream, Jim seems like a really nice guy and looked to be enjoying the hell out of the game.
There was only one thing that I really disliked about the boss fight, when the boss used his "blue fire" AoE spell, the AoE indicator/telegraph (aka the blue circle that limits where the AoE effect deals dmg) was too clean and felt out of place when compared to the rest of the encounter/world. It shouldn't be a pinpoint exact representation of where the flames are, and it shouldn't be a clear "perfect circled line telegraph". Instead it should be a like a fire aura around the boss, instead of having a blue circle limiting it, remove the circle and make the blue fire effect more intense so you can see where it starts and where it ends, and make the flames a bit more "wild" so it's not and exact perfect circle.
Stream was good. I hope you guys paid attention when Jim started reminiscing about how much he enjoyed camping named mobs. There's a lot of people that liked being able to be constructive in game and working towards a goal, while being able to study, work, do household stuff, etc... in between spawns. That was a key aspect to the charm of EQ. Not everything in the game needs to have spawn timers and rare named with ultra rare loot drops, but it would be a massive mistake to believe people don't LOVE that aspect of EQ.
Brad's response of (paraphrasing here) "Oh, yeah, we are NOT going to do that" is very frustrating and disheartening. Even Jim was trying to explain that he loved that aspect of EQ and camping in Lower Guk specifically.
Listening to that final boss fight was amazing. I love how the sounds of the spell effects didn't drown out the sounds from the encounter and background music. It was really eerie and made me more excited to try it myself!
Also uh... when is that character select music going up on the Soundcloud channel? I want to listen to that on loop.

Have no fear, I think Brad was more meaning in general terms on all items. There are already camps in our game like the example Jim used and there will be plenty more. I think what Brad was trying to get out is there will be other means to obtain powerful items outside of long camps.
Ooh man I loved that boss fight music!!! So eerie, the darkness, the malice, all mixed into the music; it played so well into making the fight.
Even the music transitioning from the hall way to just past the initial doorway was pretty good too! It went from ~musical tune~"Im on a dungeon crawling adventure!"to an eerieness music that I cannot even explain.
Glad to hear a reveal about a new dungeon, but sad we didn't see more of the Arachnid spider boss but there is always next time right?
But well done everyone at Visionary Realms, can most definitely see the progress between streams.
EDIT: There was supposed to be "Musical notes" near the adventure singing but it didn't work and well had to pretty much rewrite everything.
Also is there a way we can listen to the sound-tracks on the sound cloud or something. I enjoy music especially when I am at work. (I might even be able to hook some co-workers into checking out the game just from the music)

Some of the in-game music is available here: http://www.pantheonmmo.com/media/audio/
Of course that's just a taste as we will have to discover the rest of it in Terminus, but they've definitely got some great tracks available to listen to whenever you want :)

I assume this was directed at my concern and you just quoted the wrong person. I appreciate the response Convo, and I am absolutely thrilled to hear that answer. I, like Jim, obviously love the long waits inbetween respawns at camps where you can kind of just set up shop and BS the night away hoping for an amazing treasure. Definitely don't want to have to be crawling and paying attention for every single second of game play. Anyway, thanks again for the response.
Totally loved the wipe fest near the tail end of the stream. Brought back tons of memories (good and bad ones). That Ultiran Blaspheme really hit like a truck. Was awesome to watch a truly challenging encounter.
Totally pumped about Alpha. I almost cried when they mentioned a pre-alpha phase 3 during one of the streams. NO! NO! Alpha peeps next!
