The tier 1,2 and the tier 3 zone can be done combined in 4 hours? (= 40 Minutes per Zone (or ~2 hours for normal raids, which means 2 zones at one evening)). I thought with persistance zones SOE would give us _bigger_ raidinstances, not smaller ones. How many nameds are in there?

I did every one but Venril/Chamber last night in 2 hours and 10 mins. It's a joke. We even wiped on the Overking once.

Chris
A majority of the t1/2/3 zones are Chel'Drak style zones, 5-15 trash mobs and 1 named. It's all pretty lame imo

No, it takes only 3 raids to get there.

You are correct. I'm not sure what the part of this entire epic quest line is. You don't even need it for the quest you get in veeshans peak. I guess maybe one person has to have it.

Really
8 Raid zones sounded really good, but it seems in reality its just... SOE.

Wow, this is really disappointing. When I saw the raid zones in tiers like that I had in mind each would be about FTH length, maybe a couple shorter, with a sense of progression from tier to tier. Then Veeshans Peak being EH sort of size.

6 short Chel'Drak style runs is a total fucking joke. Where is the progression in that?

Default Re: are RoK raids too easy?

it isnt as easy as that, sure t1 has 2 of those 1 mob instances and 1 large one (a bit larger than fth). t2 has 1 of that 1 mob instance and 1 which is about the length of fth. t3 is again a 1 mob instance. and VP is supposed to be as large as commonlands with 11 nameds in there, so eh 2.0 i guess (just hope without the mass of trash to kill)

Good. No idea about the difficulty since we haven't yet started but that seems a bit more reasonable.

Default Re: are RoK raids too easy?

I havent raided tier8 at all yet still waiting guildies to level, but I am just worried about lack of contested content, just avatars and epic ape then? I would like to see couple epic dragons roam Skyfire Mountains and some more contested maybe something inside Sebilis etc?

Even if I dont ever raid those contested I love to watch top guilds go after them, isnt that what topguilds want too? They can actually compete on hard contested mobs and not talk who did what instance week before than other guild did that? And roaming epic dragons in JW certainly would bring sense of danger back in the game when doing quests, harvesting etc in those areas.

Btw spotted pile of chromatic dragon bones in JW are those for quest or if you "disturb" them in raid they spawn something? What about epicx2 NPC in cave in JW are those to be hoped to spawn something?

-Just hopeing to see some serious arse wipeing mobs in overland zones
