Estate of Unrest...

[ShaedenVI]

<DIV>I recently got into eq2. I had played the original since year one until a bit after Luclin, and absolutely loved it. Unrest was probably my favoritezone, so i was overjoyed when i heard they would be implementing it again. I was dismayed however when someone the other night said it was a 70+ raid zone.....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The original unrest was accesible to a great range of levels, are they really going to make it available only to the upper elite now? I wont have a character reach 70, ever(ill probably reach 50 max). Im not that hardcore a player. I realize im highly outnumbered on these forums, most of you ARE upper lvl elite players, i guess im just trying to confirm whether the zone is actually going to be just for you guys. If so, that really, really sucks.</DIV><p>Message Edited by ShaedenVI on <span class=date_text>12-15-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:31 PM</span>

It's a Level 70+ Heroic Zone, not a raid zone. Getting to Level 70 is not that hard to do.

[ShaedenVI]

LOL. Spoken like a true hardcore

[Mgunner]

It is a group zone, however, I really wish they made a raid version of it

<P>Unless a dev states definitively, no one knows for 100% certain. It wasn't even accessible for the beta testing so none of us there have any special insight.</P> <P>Given that there has been much speculation about higher level questlines that end abruptly and some content that seems to lead players towards what could conceivably be Unrest, I'd guess it'll be on par with at least Loping Plains levels. Then again, that's just a guess, and not definitive.</P> <P><Editing> Perhaps a dev *has* stated its level range somewhere. I just haven't seen it yet. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </editing></P> <P>~Hawke</P><p>Message Edited by Wulfborne on <span class=date_text>12-15-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:50 PM</span>

I've played this game over 2 years now. There isn't that much content left for me to do that isn't trivialized by being Level 70. So please, quit acting like you're a hot shot. Seriously, getting to Level 70 has been possible to since February, it's December. That's 10 months to get from Level 60 to 70, 6 months to get from Level 50 to 60, and another 10 months to get from Level 1 to 50. Getting to Level 70 isn't hard, unless you suck at the game.

If you played eq1, you will be AMAZED at how easy it is to level in this game. You could honestly solo to lvl 70 regardless of class (something you could never do in eq1 unless you were a a select few classes such as bard, conjuror, druid, or necro) With the combat changes you can use quested and crafted armor and really not be that far behind some of the top raiders in the game as far as survivability, even as a tank class. So I think even though you plan on only getting to level 50, you will be surprised at how easy it is to level. Discovery xp is something eq1 never had, and quest xp is actually valuable in eq2, whereas in eq1 you would almost never do a quest for the experience it gave you. As far as people bashing what pinski said... learn to read please. He never said anything about people choosing the slow path and not focusing on levels. He merely stated that if getting to lvl 70 is your goal, and you cannot accomplish it, you suck. Even though he often seems to be arrogant beyond belief and thinks he is gods gift to the gaming world, he is right on this one. <div></div>

[Removed for Content], I was not taking offense at it.  I was just pointing out that there are reasons why people arent level 70.  His comment was pretty general which would be why I pointed that out....  hehe....<div></div>
