Linsey Murdock, Martin Kerstein & Regina Buenaobra

Linsey and the Community Coordinators appeared in the Great Temple of Balthazar International District 1 on April 10th 2009 to talk about the Fourth Anniversary content update.

Summary

  • Hall of Monuments will go account-wide with the Fourth Anniversary content update
  • In account-wide mode, the "Resilience" monument will display the armors for the visiting character if possible, otherwise a generic statue in the same style as the pet and hero statues is displayed representing the armor that are not available in-game for the visiting profession
  • Zaishen Challenge Quests consist of three types: Mission, Bounty and PvP quests
    • all quest rewards consist of Zaishen Coins and a combination of experience, gold, faction and/or titlepoints
    • all Zaishen quests send you out to do exisiting content, for example a Mission quest could make you repeat Blood Washes Blood
    • Zquests are meant to "reinforce existing content by pointing Critical mass at certain specific things each day, and give additional rewards for doing things in the game that might not be very rewarding right now"
    • PvP Zaishen quests are for all types of PvP, including Heroes Ascent, GvG, Random Arena, Team Arena, Fort Aspenwood, Jade Quarry, Hero Battles and Alliance Battles
  • Zaishen Menagerie
    • Tier 1: Any pet from level 1-11
    • Tier 2: Any unevolved or Elder pet from level 12-14
    • Tier 3: Any Aggressive or Playful pet from level 12-14
    • Tier 4: Any unevolved or Elder pet from level 15-19
    • Tier 5: Any evolved pet from level 15-19
    • Tier 6: Any unevolved or Elder pet from level 20
    • Tier 7: Any evolved pet from level 20
    • A pet will unlock all of the same or lower tiers, so for example a level 20 Elder pet will unlock Tier 6 and all lower tiers but not Tier 7; or a lvl 20 Dire Black Widow will unlock a level 12 Aggressive Black Widow too
    • no retroactivity, you will need to unlock all pets once it is released
    • Only you and your heroes have access to the Menagerie collection, and unlocks are pet type specific and account-wide
    • The Menagerie allows you to switch pets you have unlocked whenever you want.
