Wish you would have went into more details of why 'it was garbage'. I have to mostly disagree with you. In my opinion, LotD was a great addition to WAR back on live servers for multiple reasons:TooGraphic wrote:Testing the waters here. Thinking about investing more time and coming back but I have a huge problem with LOTD. It was one of the worst attempts at content in a decent title I had ever seen. It was dry, boring, often buggy and being required to endure such crap doing PVE to get PVP gear in a PVP game seemed counter to the entire philosophy. The whole thing just sucked terribly and I thought it was microcosm of the game's problems at release. If it could be retrofitted as a form of darkness falls with out the bullshit dungeons and overpowered gear, perhaps a place to grind for resources and the odd not game breaking yet unique item drop it might seem OK. #lexit

1. Gave people the options to ditch the normal leveling process and go to LotD as a sort of risk/reward in terms of the chance of getting ganked while gaining more XP per hour from PQs/farm spots/warcamp siege.
2. Professions: LotD added multiple areas for different professions to gain materials. Again risk/reward. Which also made the process of farming materials more fun.
3. Tombs. This is where I have to point out that while I think that the tombs in terms of design, mechanic etc. were awesome, there was several items(pocket items, weapons, talismans) that were obtainable from these tombs that, in my opinion shouldn't see the light of the day in RoR. I won't being go through them all here.
4. Totvl: Awesome dungeon. It was buggy, but all in all, it was an awesome experience and it was actual fun PVE, since it was such a challenge for so many guilds in the start at least. That being said there is still several aspects that needs to be adressed before this can be implemented I think:
- Tyrant Gear
- Colossus, colossus weapons and the talismans.
- Currency system
To mention a few.
Personally, I can't wait for LotD. The zone was awesome for roaming - solo or grp.
