Asherons Call: Asheron's Call: Upcoming Functionality

Frelorn, of Turbine's Asheron's Call Commnunity Relations team, had this to say about some upcoming fuctionality:

As we continue to move forward with our technical capabilities, we will be adding new features to Asheron's Call. Coming in April we will be introducing Cool Down Timers on some previously existing items, as well as some new ones.

The first items that will be utilizing this new tech will be the Blackmoor's Favor and Asheron's Benediction Gems(Asheron's Lesser Benediction as well). Beginning with the April event, there will be a 30 second cool down timer on each gem use. Each gem will have separate timers so players will still be able to use both at the same time. Players will however, now have to wait 30 seconds before being able to use the gems again.

This new tech not only opens up several options for items going forward, but it also allows us to become more creative with some other quests and content going forward. Some of the new uses of this tech will also been seen in April in addition to the timer on the existing gems.

This is just one of the new tech features we have planned for Asheron's Call going forward.

He did confirm this was NOT a 'foolie', but an new technology added to the game. You can provide some feedback here.
