[Dev 1232] The process of unlocking new Walk of Echoes

[Raging_Oracle]

There seems to have been a mistake in the information for the new Walk of Echoes content regarding the conditions for how a Surge Walks occur, and it has been fixed as of last night.

Correct information:


Apologies for the confusion!

I have a bit of other relevant information to share as well while I am here!

In order to make it easier to access Walk of Echoes, we are looking into adding a home point or way point to Xarcabard (S) in a future version update.

Additionally, after clearing an existing walk, if a surge walk occurs there is a ten minute interval before you can access the surge walk. This is a system from the original Walk of Echoes, but we are looking into shortening this time period.

What about my gear question?
"So will the equipment that drops have the same name and rare classification? I do have some pieces from WOE left and don't want to deal with having to worry about tossing an older item ( i.e. windbuffett belt (spell??.. so what..)) to get the new upgraded belt. That would suck.... hard!! "

I might be a bit blind, but I don't see how that's different? I guess someone could interpret that any walk would increase the surge for every walk, but otherwise this is what we thought it would be. On top of that there's a 10 minute waiting period if it does surge? This is incredibly disheartening. It harks back to the old Waiting Fantasy XI.

I don't see why they couldn't just have these surge runs either unlock in their old fashion, or just allow people to enter surges straight away. You're asking for a lot of stars to align to get this content to be not only viable (lots of people running around dying because of lack of teamwork) but to not be a tedious wait fest.

That way the old walks retain some value as a soloing farming excursion, and the new ones aren't horribly gated and abandoned after a month..

I seriously doubt you have anything to worry about in regards to this.
