Quality is painful to watch, but it is an hour of sorta newish information. Even with the poor quality I like watching Gaffney talk.

Yeah, I don't know what the deal was with their sound levels and such. But some of the interesting stuff I got from it (which some was already in the patch notes) were:

- They have the optional Rally system so that Higher levels can downgrade to low level dungeons
- The Mentor system that would boost the level of a lowbie to essentially be a 'sidekick' to a higher level while playing together
- If I understood correctly, they've had over 200,000 new beta requests in the last month
- They are debating instancing the housing
- Discussed the possibility of flying mounts...maybe even ones with limited fuel supply to limit flight times
- Potential Stress test and associated invites may be in 1 to 3 weeks, depending on performance of the 2nd Beta Test with current testers
- Raid boss mechanics that are dynamic from week to week...potentially being very challenging one week and easier another. Time to kill would be included for challenge run comparisons (This one is really interesting, because you could potentially get a different raid experience every week)

There's more to hear in the video (no new pictures or anything, so you can just listen if you like).

The funny thing is that last one was something I was suggesting when I was focus tested for another MMO. Glad to see it's an idea that could be implemented.
