Makes returning almost interesting, but not quite.

Mobs quad for 8000
You need 3000 AC to tank is

and it drops a rogue piercer that is 28/4 +30% backstop procs a 400DD silence and -1000 hate effect.

mob AE reduces hps by 8000 every 5 seceonds adding 128 curse counters and intermittently silencing with -750 chromatic resist at random intervals of decreasing value prime number combat rounds.

and thats just the yard trash

Well.. from what I have seen Vor is exaggerating things! Although I haven't seen any of the 'top' encounters. But they are supposed to be hard.

I'm actually looking forward to this expansion although I think releasing it next week is still too soon. I was still reporting bugs last week. But, that's about typical for SOE. If it goes at least as well as the OoW launch it shouldn't be too bad.

(Oh, and one thing I like about it is that it's mostly content. No new levels or AA crap that you 'have' to grind through. That sorta puts it in the LoY category I guess. But with content that you'd actually want to see.)

I'd say more like Scars of Velious... LoY is just a stain.

Literally (unless you were already being witty) LoY was only good for the dye.

The Guild window and bank space was handy...

And the maps. But that was about the only reason people bought it. Not really for the content. And I still believe maps should have gone to everyone without having to buy LoY.

Velious is a better example, yeah. It's been awhile so couldn't remember if there were levels or AA in that. But that wasn't until Luclin.

No. Or levels. Thank the lords.

We got enough AAs. Not everybody has time to have 1000+ AAs. It will be nice to focus on the content and not have to worry about grinding XP to get those 'critical' AAs.
