I've enjoyed the adventure packs with the exception of Blood Lines. Splitpaw was amazing because it catered to every type of player.

I to this day still have no real idea what the fuck Bloodlines was about.

blood lines had a raid, and i think the idea leading up to that raid (with a wold event involved) was great, problem was the raid itself made spirits of the lost look like a fast angler run. I still think to date the best adventure pack put in game was the splitpaw, it offered solo stuff (harclave) heroic dungeons, the sorta fun x2 event with puzzles and decent rewards, and the really fun x4 event that had some of the best drops for the time. Why they didnt repeate this and why they dropped the adventure pack idea is beyond me and a real shame.

Imagine EH trash mobs, that drop no loot, have about 1000x more hpts and are in a maze of grey walls.

The only question you need to ask is how many people individually own. Splitpaw, Bloodlines, and Fallen Dynasty.

I had splitpaw and bloodlines when the came with all access but after I dropped my all access the only one I re-purchased was Fallen Dynasty.

How many of the casual crowd owns Bloodlines vs how many raiders on FD I wonder.

I had Station Access, then bought Splitpaw and TFD when I dropped it. Fuck Bloodlines in the ear.

They're better off trying to appease both crowds at the same time.

I'm fairly casual and I would buy it. I do enjoy raiding, I just don't have the time I used to with a job and a family. I think there are a lot of people in the same position. And all of the raid content in this game is certainly not hardcore.

I love Johe's idea. Giving all raiders, no matter what level they're on, more content imo would go over really well.

i d love to see something like that, with the whole unlock access to raid zone EQ1 style. the only thing that i hated in EQ1 was the need to backflag people in order to key them to the various planes.
damn i d so love an expansion just like that.

ps : being a player from day 1 i have all adv pack and yeah the bloodline raid blew but the quest line was actually funny.

Totally agree, I'd buy a few if they were on offer, but its just not worth wasting the manpower on putting one together.

Just like expansions having new starting areas makes that expansion appeal to all players if it has expanded content for max level players, and a whol new starter city, race and low level experience for... everyone.

I'm happy that adventure packs have raid content like TFD did. I'd happily buy a similar adventure pack if they released one.

ofc i'd rather it was free

I would love an adventure pack with more raid material. It's too easy to clear the current T7 content before lockout timers expire. It would be nice to have the problem that you need to decide what to do during the week to fit things in, instead of doing it all in a few days and having nothing left.
