Now to separate my thoughts and screenshots, the zone looks pretty amazing imo. The last zone I was visually impressed with was Pedestal of sky way back in DoF, but this zone is far beyond it in quality. The attention to detail is amazing, and I thank god that it's not just a previous zone cut and pasted. The mobs start out at 75x4 and I can only assume get much harder. I would think there are about 4-5 nameds in close proximity considering how the zone is set up.

hawt sauce, looks neat

The zone hasn't been populated yet? It'll be cool to finally see what Queen Lenya Thex looks like. Is she a vampire after all? We'll just wait and see.

[Psychochimpy]

The only mobs we saw were the CT style golems and a bunch of Tunarian guards. All were 75x4s. We just cleared the zone before we took the pics /wink wink

[Groma]

Yes, the zone is populated.  When you enter there is a non-attackable NPC, when you get in range he sends 16 level 75x4 mobs(all separate encounters) right for the raid. Looks like this is going to be about the equivalent to MMIS/EH in difficulty.  The lowest mob seen was 75x4 trash, and from the looks of it you have to kill 3 names before you fight the Queen.

[Kala Asuras]

so we are looking at 3 maybe 4 new named?

[Groma]

4, possibly 5.  There ae 4 possitions for a named to be, plus one non-attackable npc at the entrance that runs away thru the zone activating the mobs.  You would either fight him at one of those 4 possitions, but that possition might be taken in advance by another mob leaving a chance for 5.  I managed to train my way to the center of the main room and there were no named in visible range, leaving the possiblity for named in all 3 off the off rooms to the left, right and front, as well as the thrown upstairs.

[Cusashorn]

Well post a pic of the queen as soon as you get a chance please.

[Groma]

No can do, the zone was "cleared" before we were able to get close enough.

[Cusashorn]

wait, what? Is the zone an instance or what?

[Groma]

Yes its an instance.  It was "cleared" by a higher power so that those willing to log on and check it out could actually make it past the 16 75x4s at the entrance that rush you if you take more than 4 steps in the door.  This is why noone was able to see the named mobs, because we couldn't get close enough without dying. I understand there will be some raid testing tomorrow evening, those interested might want to log in and check it out.

<p>Hmm. She's an actual High Elf and not a New Elf.</p><p>I hope you don't mind if I barrow that screenshot. I'd like to use it in another thread.</p>
