I hope to see some fairly long ones that involve overland zones. They really butchered the hell out of Nektulos to the point I don't think theres any left, same with Commonlands.

LS and EF yeah, they should be toned down in heroic content, it's definitely on the hurting side. But not to the exent of CL and Nek.

I agree and was thinking that when I was 2-box duoing my swash and monk in EL. There is still quite a bit of heroic mobs in that particular zone, and I'd hate to see it all cleared out. I don't always wanna go trudging into a dungeon to whack at the heroics, especially without a fuller group.

I think they are referring to the lowbie zones only. Recently they just did with this Ant/Nek/CL and they will have it same way with the new lowbie zone I believe.

I was dismayed that they removed the heroics from Archer's Wood (Ant) and Bridge Keep (TS) because those were two PL grind spots I loved. I don't see any more people there now than I did before the gimping, and it's getting more and more difficult to grind without staying in one cramped little dungeon till blood shoots out of your eyes. I need changes of scenery, I prefer to stay in motion at all times. And good zone quest progression is absolutely critical.

Veeshan’s Peak alone is the most target-rich raid environment created in EQII to date.

Cannot wait to see this! Maybe we'll get lucky and see Kerafyrm in this expansion?
