Buried in the midst of the chatter of the community regarding the upcoming 100th content update for Turbine's venerable Asheron's Call, I found this little tidbit from Frelon, of the Community Relations Team:

This thread has been great. People giving feedback and everyone has been keeping the discussion civil. This is the kind of feedback we like to see.

Based on the feedback we have received in this thread, the team has decided to make this new tier of loot available in one form or another on landscape hunting.

One of the ways we are looking at doing this is to use the Direland Champions mechanics. So that players who like to outdoor hunt would have a random chance of spawning a "Boss Creature" which would then either have this new profile or a key that would allow a pull on one of the new chests. This is of course, not set in stone, and we may go with another way of doing this, which we will explain when we begin releasing all of the information on the 100th update.

We are still working on the exact details since this decision was just made, but we feel this will make sure that almost every possible playstyle will be included.

You can provide your feedback, and join in the general discussion about the upcoming 100th episode, at the official forums, here.
