The official patch notes for Update 2, Echoes of the Dead, were released today! There’s a ton of changes that we’ve been covering since the announcement. We are super thrilled to see the notes pushed because it means we’re just that much closer to the release date of March 21st (for Turbine customers)!
What are you looking forward to with Update 2?

I’m really excited about the new instances, but it’ll probably be like every other instance and I’ll barely find the time to do any of them!
There’s still stuff from Moria that I’ve not done, let alone the big Mirkwood stuff. I have a 65 too, so I’m really just very slow.

No mention of a boost to the power of complicated FMs
I was hoping that the change would encourage PUGs to try out the FM straights more frequently.

Yeah, no doubt. I really want to see a concentrated effort on making FM’s fairly awesome. I think FFXI did group maneuvers right and I’d like to see something more across those lines.

Agreed — even non-PUGs are loathe to do anything that’s not Hew the Stone/Break the Door etc. because there’s just not enough of an advantage to doing a complicated FM.

It seems that we are getting 100 new “questions” in Evendim.

I haven’t run through this yet, but jwbarry does some really good work so I am pretty psyched about it.

Looks pretty good overall.
Can’t say I like the ‘improvement’ to the health pots though – usually if I’m resorting to using one, I need ALL the points it offers, not a small percentage of them!
