they're no sparkles, lol, its a reference to the fact that the cleric lead developer said the animations for the soul are not yet ready.

Additionally, Elrar made it pretty clear that the Defiler Soul is not ready for a full public preview - it is "Unfinished".

This stream is too funny
200% mount will be just for testing.
I think the speeds will be 130% and 150%
Short Summary:
Some of the quests deviate from Kill, collect stuff. we saw two where u outrun a monstrosity (lead up to a new zone) and another whereby you spwan into a mutant and do stuff.
Quests are modeled after the Ember Isle style, basically quest hubs only carry storyline quests, and adventuring would lead to the discovery of new quests and activation of carnage quests
It seems there are quests to protect sourcewells and power up turrents
Epic Quest chains will be introduced while SL is live
2 new mount speeds to be introduced in SL (these are not confirmed)
Vanilla Rift is now officially dubbed Chocolate Rift.
Invasions and Zone events will interfere with the questing process
I think there was a lot more, but I'm i'll leave others to add more stuff
Cheers!

Another good stream, and that's a fair summation, Antipathy. Dahanese had 2 of my questions answered, though I already knew the answer to the first one I asked lol.
That was the first time I've seen Simon in the flesh. He's something of a hero of mine, being responsible for all the artifacts I've sought high and low. He's also known as Dead Simon. He seems really cool, and I found it amusing how he was trying to brush off questions not related to the livestream.
I really need to put together a video of the craziness associated with artifact hunting. Not enough players (new and old) are aware of what ridiculous lengths you gotta go to just to reach some of them. It's easily my favorite hobby in the game.
They dumbed down a lot of the artifact locations (I'm looking at you spider cave in Gloamwood) but I was pleased to hear the challenge of accessibility will return for SL.

BTW - how awesome was that bacon monkey?
Right after I saw him in the background I posted something about Dead Simon: Handstand it'd be the perfect addition to the next set of artifacts.
I look forward to the youtube link!
It's not on YouTube, butttt............
