GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

rolled up a new pali and started doing the new quests, really like the reworks on old dungeons and the explorer area is fun, done everything solo so far except 1 quest with a newb, right up to elite is not too hard, rest shrines all over the place was a refreshing sight. Explorer area is doable solo also, have 12 of 13 explorers and 2 of 3 rares in first pass, didnt have time to find the other but will later tonight :) The end rewards are interesting, I like the idea of combos at low levels and don't even miss the fact that I cant tweak this guy. Can't wait to get the rest of it done, and as a bonus when I am done, my capped toons should all be off timers :)

What do you guys think?

Over all I like it but think maybe the quests should be a little harder.

NPE is absolutely awesome. No two ways 'bout it.

Makes the whole game feel like a proper, run of the mill MMO. And thats a good thing.

Yeah, Turbines been getting bashed a lot for this MOD, and Ive done some bashing, but I gotta say that they hit the nail on the head when it comes to the NPE part of this MOD.

I agree. Not sure on the higher level stuff. Haven't done it yet.

I rolled up a new Rogue and had at the NPE. I enjoyed myself. Solo'd everything on normal except for the Misery's Peak quest, to a Ranger level before I went in there.
I like the fact that the NPC's are actually helpful.

I was able to complete the Explorers and Rares for new area, just working on Slayer now. I'll rerun the quests on Hard and Elite too, just need to find the time...

All in all, I like the story line and recurring characters. It was also fun to see what they did to the "old" dungeons.

I'm level 2 with 1 rank right now... what will I be if I rerun all the quests on Hard, then Elite?

What level are the Harbor quests now? I don't want to out level them.

The NPE quests' only have solo and normal..

... don't worry about outleveling them, you still get the same favor!

Good to know! I'll just finish up the Slayer then catch the boat to Stormreach.

We did most of them on Elite last night. Am I missing something here?

They are extremely easy, but that's one of the points. A sense of accomplishment is what people play for. Hence the loot runs, jonesing for named loot, etc. at higher levels.If you want a game to be accessible, make the entry level stuff much easier.

Next they need to get the level 6-10 doldrums ironed out. Some stuff between STK, Tangleroot, and Sorrowdusk. Intermediate quest areas. Something.

Oh yeah, I repeat. I scored probably a dozen vorpals there with my wf fighter and since enemies die on one shot anyhow, that's amazing rng luck. Yeah, I did check the logs.

I love the new area, was a bit confused with the character creation at first as I don't play Risia but it took about 5 minutes to get used to fully.

I love the new area, nice to see the old quests redone and redone 100X better than the previous versions. Some really interesting twists put into them. Misery's Peak was an amazingly wild little quest that just drags you straight into the game. If only Three-Barrel Cove were more popular these are brilliant new areas for a starting adventurer to get hooked on. I have to tip my hat to the creative team on these, it's quite refreshing.

One can only hope that Turbine and the Dev team get cracking and have the next MOD ready for a January release. I don't think there is any huge project coming out with it so I'm crossing my fingers it will be mostly content.

I'll have some fun with this for a while anyways :)

LMAO. Don't just cross your fingers! Hold your breath! :D
