Live letter happened

1) Patch comes out end of April
2) Beastmaster will come in a later sub patch. Can tame up to 50 things, can have 3 out at a time, level 50 cap. Will have a special instance they can join as well
3) Housing furniture: 50% increase on limits inside, 100% increase outside. “TARDIS” feature will be later (ie, can have mansion interior in a small house). They confirmed they want to improve UI to allow easier floating of stuff (no date).
4) dyes being consolidated into generic dye item that can apply colors. Exception is store dyes and their ingame counterparts (like pure white dye) - those stay the same
5) Armoire will be able to store dungeon sets

They didn’t reveal much about MSQ, but based on screenshots we are going back to Garlemond, a certain emo plushie from last patch will meet our character, and the loporits are involved somehow. They did confirm this patch will begin to hint at next expac and fanfest will confirm more obviously (fanfest happens a few days before 7.5)

There were a bunch of stuff they said they're keeping for the fanfest so not that much was shown. New Ultimate is confirmed but the theme will be revealed in the fanfest for example.

On inventory QoL, apparently you'll be able to store all dungeon sets in the armoire, which is infinite iirc? So should free up A TON of glamour slots if you're into that. Still has the annoying step of actively having to drop in there instead of just being a yes/no boolean glamour menu somewhere whenever you loot an item but should fix most concerns.

Also BLU confirmed to not get an update in 7.x, pushed back to 8.x(maybe?). BST "took too much work" so they couldn't do it, aka SE being stingy with the money again.

BST looks like it'll be a "real" solo class, you can summon 3 beasts and the new special content for it is presented as a mini rogue-like map(like with branches and stages like rest/treasure/monster/elite) and entirely soloable. It's unclear how it'll work in normal group content though, like if you'll be restricted on beasts or if the beasts will count as player(so you can do 8man content with only 2 BST?), more on BST later obviously. Class counts as melee DPS which might be relevant for stuff like savage target priority, unlike BLU which is usually pure RNG fiesta when you have to solve mechs which is annoying.

The 2 relics they've shown(DNC and VPR) also looked very good. Well subjective as usual but I haven't found any of the previous ones this expansion to be particularly great.
