Word from test is that Inny and Maestro were beefed up to a "recommended 4-5 group level 65 encounter." The mobs spacing was changed, zone in changed and the city portion expanded greatly. But still just a single zone named Hateplaneb for testing.

Kind of dumb that Inny is such a wimp, but on the other hand, it would be nice for guilds in the 50-60 range to have a place to develop actual raiding skills. Hate, Fear, and maybe Chardok are the only such zones left like that.

I figured it was just renamed on test, but it would have been nice to keep hate the way it is now, and just added a 2nd hate zone for higher end raiders.

Velk is in that range, but yea doing Inny was a nice stepping stone.
You could always do Inny and then once you have that down do Inny with no slow for a larger challenge to step up.

Anymore I doubt he is touched though.

lot of talk on new plane of hate on ranger forums. most of the rangers there were just concerned w/ epic being dropped from inny (if he was made super hard), but dev's said they would probably move the stone to a lower mob (or so I've heard). personally it would be cool for a few days but then just die out, unless they make an alternate entrance to it besides the wiz port up (which is another thing dev's are supposedly talking about)

if they want to make Hateplane used i have a magical idea to fucking fix the situation with minimal effort.

Give Innoruuk a loot table worth a shit.

1. Shattered Emerald of Corruption always drops from him
they should have never changed the quest like that anyways. "Strike at the heart of Innoruuk" is the quest dialogue if i recall correctly.

2. items that are a tiny notch down from Cazic Thule's

then you dont need to change the encoutner or zone at all.

but the zone is boring, so a revamp wouldnt hurt.

id say there are several places where you can still learn raiding skills beyond what Jice mentioned. I mean if Chardok Royals are going to fall under that umbrella, how can Trakanon not?

Crushbone is going to be a 60plus raid zone after the implementation of hateplaneb.

ORC HILL IS MINE!

Actually with what is being said by the npc's in Neriak that makes sense. BB can handle the old CB traffic just fine. Apparently the tree city will soon be attacked by the inkies with the help of Clan Crushbone, which didn't make alof of sense considering CB's mob level

On Test, Maestro procs something like a 1500 point lifetap that can go off several times per second. Innoruk has a new ae (think it has a slow component) as well as quadding somewhere above 1500, from what I hear. He was downed but no news on new loots. Difficulty has been described as above Sarynn but below Mith Marr.
