IRC chat about impending update
Summary:

&mdash;Dr Ishmael 19:17, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Embark Beach - travel to all mission outposts via NPC dialogue. Travel from outposts back to EB through a Zaishen Scout.
 * 7 Heroes - can customize build for all 7, but flag controls remain the same
 * Mercenary heroes - microtransaction, takes a snapshot of one of your characters (level 20) and other characters on your account can use them as a hero.
 * Minion control panel - a party panel for minions.
 * Pre-Searing - New set of daily quests (9) that scale in difficulty and reward based on party leader's level. Can now earn Legendary Defender of Ascalon and Survivor on the same character. (cue the QQ)

Survivor+drunkard changes
Queue up the butthurt shitstorm in 3... 2... *puts on safety goggles* 1... --El_Nazgir 22:51, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Add a 4th rank to Survivor for those that reached it with 0 deaths - True Legendary Survivor. Or have it branch into two separate ranks, both of which are considered "max" by the HoM/KOABD. Just my $.02 LiveFyre 22:21, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

"Added the skills vendor Halbrik to Ascalon City."
Now that's an interesting decision... Full-fledged MM in pre-searing GO! --Vipermagi 22:52, 3 March 2011 (UTC)


 * apparently, this and langmar's quests can only be taken from lvl 10 and on. If what people at pre are saying is correct. --[[Image:El Nazgir sig.png|Talkpage]]El_Nazgir  23:13, 3 March 2011 (UTC)


 * He only offers skills you can learn in pre-searing, so no. Cress Arvein [[Image:Cress sig.JPG]] 21:45, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh. Then who cares, why add him? You can get nearly all skills within ten minutes if you just walk up to the quest givers... --Vipermagi 21:51, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Previously, there were 1 or 2 skills that you couldn't get for your secondary profession because they were only given as part of the very first quest for that prof. Halbrik allows you to get all the skills for your secondary now.  (Admittedly, that probably doesn't make a big difference in most cases.)  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 22:07, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Un-noted change
pre-searing quests no longer give skills up front. So far only tried out 1 quest (first one for primary ranger char), will be able to say if it's with all quests. --El_Nazgir 23:09, 3 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Never mind, I'm a moron. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by El_Nazgir (contribs).

Minimap
Erm, am I the only one running into this issue? My minimap keeps resetting to default UI placement and window size every time I close the game, since the Embark patch. o.O LiveFyre 21:16, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you using KSmod?--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg]]îğá†ħŕášħ 21:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Nope. It does this regardless of anything loaded. I don't even know what KSmod is, and the only Texmod I load is Cartog, and only when I'm vanqing or mapping (or both). LiveFyre 21:32, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a bug, someone noted it at GWW. Cress Arvein [[Image:Cress sig.JPG]] 21:43, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
