Heh, same question as the rest of us. Maybe it was related to the Destiny rework and it's like an AP tome?

Or maybe it's the Legendary system?

Or maybe it's yet another tome to buy. At least I only give a fuck about one character these days.

"A Tome of Destiny +1 for all your characters existing and new, giving an extra point to spend in all your Epic Destiny trees"

From the fine print. I don't think that's supposed to be in there; I think that's a hold over from when the expansion intended to have a revamp of the ED system as a whole.

I was able to find the answer.  It adds an additional point to spend in each Epic Destiny tree. (Found by clicking the expandable information buttons on the bottom of the page.)

Guys, they offer 3 bundle options. They've labeled one of the bundles as "recommended". I'm sure they "recommend" that one because of all of the value and features and NOT because it's the most expensive.

So if you buy the ultimate fan bundle you get both black and white unicorn mounts.

Neat!

...except I fucking threw away the "small wonderous mount" bag because it was clogging up my inventory and I never assumed I would have more than the 1 horse.

FUCK.

If you scroll to bottom page, you can find more info on various items.

[quote]Enjoy exciting new features in the Ultimate Fan Bundle, including: The Razorclaw Shifter Iconic, a level 15 character with its own unique skills and cosmetics; A Tome of Destiny +1 for all your characters existing and new, giving an extra point to spend in all your Epic Destiny trees; Instant teleport to the Feywild expansion content; and cosmetics like the Displacer Beast cosmetic pet, Black Unicorn, and Winter Eladrin armor set!

An extra point for ED tree, after the racial point, the universal point, the destiny point pops up. Next up is a free feat. They really don't know how to milk players anymore

Assuming the new mounts are BtA like the KotB ones, the new pack is only roughly 3 slots of inventory tax, so thats nice at least. Maybe they'll be reasonable this time and also make the hired BtA.

Did we get any kind of communication on what kind of lvl range heroic feywild will be? I assume since there's an iconic we're looking at more 15/29 shit(because we don't have nearly enough of that content), but if they do make the jump to 30 i guess its going to be 15/31.

You have poor reading skills. I have poor "giving a fuck about things SSG writes" skills. No one is perfect.

I really hope they don't add a bunch of new and different slot types and then abandon the system again.

I think the level cap raise was supposed to be in this but they moved it to the next update after this due to timing issues.

Afraid that's going to be the case, remember that hideous drawing of a unicorn listing some of the new features that Lynn posted on the mobo?

There were "soul-forged" augments and set augments. Nobody knows what they do but it's a dead diveaway. New slots.

We will see where this leads. Also, FUCK YOU, I am perfection.

I already have access to Epic Destinies. Will I lose that access such that I'll have to buy at least the Standard edition to get them back??
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

You think they will turn off the ED feature that you bought directly or acquired with your MOTU purchase if you don't buy the expansion?

Or you think that they bundled in something that people might already have just to make sure that new players who don't have it already won't have to go to the hassle of making a separate purchase to  utilize the features of the expansion?

That would drive a lot of players away. I think it’s just meant to be a way to entice some of the new players and give them access to Epic Dest.
