Socho Darkpaw, of the Blackburrow in an attempt to make an alliance with the Vampires of Sunderock to defeat the Orcs of Norrath traveled to Sunderock. Once there he sought out the vampire clan, he only knew of the Mistmoore Vampire Mayong Mistmoore. He found the vampire clan close to the mortal’s Sunderock outpost. While he came in peace with his intentions he was immediately captured and savagely beaten. He was thrown at the feet of the Sunderock Vampire elders. The vampire elders told him for his interference in their affairs his clan would be made to suffer.

The vampire elders sent a plagueborn messenger from from Sunderock to Antonica. The message was to a trusted vampire, Mayong Mistmoore.

About Blackburrow

one thing i would like to raise was that due to being a one group deal having plagues in there can cause people to stay in sunderrock for more hopes as if you run 3 groups it wouldn't be feasible.

Might i suggest removing plagues compleetly from the instance and rather have tokens drop that can trigger plagues in sunderrock so that players could raid up to get the best return.

Say one player in 20 days can amass 50 tokens ( say 5 per 2 day trip)

Raid has 4 players so in 20 days they can pool to get 200 plagues

Even if they can somehow get 50 normal plagues in sunderrock

so

80 days for reasonably hardcore players to get 1000.

Just a suggestion

ps cheers for nice new content

or would it be better to just make it an instance that allows 24 toons?

If this is something that we see as reasonable we can make it so, but at the same time will we need to rescale the mission to suit this. It's not a knee jerk change that I want to make but is something that I am open to consideration.

[Rent Due]

I just threw that option in there maybe because I'm not understanding a Token system, where would the PB spawn in T10 off a token, and that token is a new item added and blah blah blah

I agree the mission would have to be rescaled to accommodate more DPS and some may take 12 and some 18 and some 24, so would have to be a medium of all that into consideration

With 6 its easy cause you scale to 6 toons.

Another way to look at this is this way, youre only doing this mission once every 2 days and it takes how long?

so your "A" team group gets PB's done before the other 12, and? problem? It's not like youre going to quit doing T10 for PB's. This mission is an added bonus for PB's

Basically you can speed up the Epic 10 on important toons. I think it's fine as is. It' a fair trade to get expedition that help with our T10 quests.

[warrior5]

Would much rather see this opened up to multiple groups personally. From experience some of us prefer to spend a lot more time leveling extra groups while others prefer to fill one group with multiple UWs in the same timeframe - anything which favors the single group discourages having more than six toons which imo isn't great. Same reason raid coh was introduced.

[Mersedez]

I like it with 6. I run 18 chars and can just do it 3x. It lets me gather essences faster.

I ran this last night....

here is my 2 cents of input.


Make them hit twice as hard and have half the hps they currently have...

I found it really easy to tank the normal mobs even solo with my warrior and no heals.... with a healer I was able to tank fairly large pulls... on the surface that sounds fine but with only 6 toons my AOE dps is so poor that it was kind of silly to pull a large group when it took me 2 mins to kill each mob or longer.... I did not time it exactly but it took good long time...

I had several plaugeborne spawn and this was great... they hit hard.... and felt well balanced as a challenge for 6 toons:)

I got 1 essence and 4 xp shards and about 25 undead items from 1 clear... so looks good.. and where I see xp shards I usally find GSOA at some point so that is good...

When I summoned my banker to hold some of my piles of loot he was aggroed by a mob I pulled... and he tanked the crap out of it.... that banker is no slouch:) I also was able to do this with my merchant... and I assume my pocket porter as well... free dps is great thanks!


The guard mobs in the boss dudes room respawn in like 5 mins... and they seem to be the only thing that respawns.... and that is nifty... but they dont respawn at the right level every time... some times yellow con normal mobs..... sometimes white con normal mobs.... sometimes one hit wonder white mobs....

so I was pulling the last few mobs I needed to complete the kill count and one of the white one hit wonders spawned on me and poped a plaugborne on me with 4 other mobs all ready in tow.... this was a neat added challenge.... people died.... group survived.....long story short... neato!


OH and also...some of the mobs dont aggro... like half of them give not a single shit if you run past them... some care..../lazy mobs for the win!


This is a fun mini so good work!

sorry i broke some of the stuff.....

[balidet]

ohh crap almost forgot...


I killed one plaugeborne and it completed the task...should have been 5? FYI

[Rent Due]

Already mentioned, but

Bankers and Noobie merchants = good DPS for you
Killed 1 Plaugeborn got credit for all 5

Lots of Gnolls stuck in walls, underworld throughout the zone, pet pull works on them
