Attack on Stormreach is a great pack, I'd rather that was epic'd.

Epic vampiric fury shortswords?  Yes pleeeeeeeeease.

I'd like to know the other monsters options as well.

Also, Harpies are going to be tough-ish with the Helpless shit.

You know what this game needs? Epic Amrath, and after you beat all the quests, new Epic Shavarath raid which you could acquire by talking to the Mad Archon and access at the Enforcer's Prison. Now that would be badass.


Yup i think this would have been a better choice also.

The epified dungeons have their monsters completely replaced, and as well may have some different objectives. Their layouts and main critical paths are probably going to be similar to the old ones, but the nature of the new pirate monsters should make them feel different. We’ve tentatively chosen 4 dungeons to be epified as part of a new 5-part epic arc: Prove Your Worth, Ghost of a Chance, The Legend of Two-Toed Tobias, and Garl’s Tomb. These are partly based on the responses to the “favorite 3BC dungeon” thread, and partly based on our internal evaluation on how much effort it would take to epify each of the 3BC dungeons. We also considered how well the new story and pirate monsters would work in these dungeons.

I can't believe that nobody in 3 pages has mentoned the fact that they are not planning on epifying fire caves, come on we need our epic exploit cave! Smiley  Yes, I realize it doesn't hold with the whole pirate motif...but then again POP has only 1 giant (skeleton...unless you count the quest giver(s))

The fact they are not even halfassing it, but quarterassing it and not doing ALL the quests is even worse

I was hoping they wouldn't epic it. 
Its a completely different style of quest which is pretty neat.  I just don't care to repeat it.  I now avoid it on TRs.

Yup. It is a different style. I can see how some find it pretty neat. I hated it instantly.

IMO, i think that korthos should be made epic. think about it, it's the first place you go when you are new to the game or when you TR.

It should be the last place you see in an epic raid on Misery's Peak...before the doomsayers are right and the game finally dies

Or, you have a restriction that only multi TR's and multi ETR's are allowed to do the raid (cause it's just that badass), turbines parting gift to us for all the "features" we learned

Korthos should have been the first Epic area.
It introduces us (post 2009?) to the heroic game, it should be a starting epic area also.

Hadn't even considered an epic splinterskull.  Make the outer fortress a pre raid for the raid in the inner fortress. 
Add a couple simple quests to the explorer zone.  1 in each cave and one in the building up north.  Not flagging quests, nothing fancy just simple quick runs for mid xp and same crap gear we get anyways.
Have the explorer spawn insane amounts of bugbears and hobgoblins then add a shrine.

No, we agreed that 6K rats of wolf was not good... But anyway they weren't on the plate.

Gryphons... You escaped Gryphons and Harpies. You only got the Harpies.

The dev diary isn't quite accurate, we didn't get to choose monsters, we got to vote between a couple of monsters, and a couple of monsters were voted out.
I don't really like yuan-ti, but apparently they're a very practical pick for the devs.


This, we basically were given Gryphons and harpies as monsters... and we told them how wrong it was...
Since they wanted absolutely have one of those in, we were given a choice between them, and they picked another monster : Yuan-Ti to go along... Personally I'm not happy with Gryphons, Harpies and Yuan-Ti. It's not 'Piraty' in feel... I would have prefered halfling pirates, minotaur pirates, troll pirates, sahuagins... Well things piraty and see related not she-snakes from underdark and mountain dwelling beasts.

Not only you Flav, almost all of us because this is simple logic. We want play a fantasy based RP game (with good game mechanics) but not the game mechanic itself.
It's funny (or sad idk), they still don't understand this after so many years.

So why did you pick Harpies instead of Gryphons? Those fuckers make you helpless all the time.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.
