Splitpaw revamp....

[Grong]

<p>How hard would it be to make Splitpaw scale to 80 from the current 50 cap?  I really enjoyed this area and the lore behind it. </p><p>If it went to 80, do you think peeps would come back or is it too "old world?"</p>

<p>About 6 months ago there was talk at Soe about these zones getting a revamp.  Of course there was also talk about releasing the missing instance from RoK as well (Kurns Tower).  However, no one talks about these things anymore, I suspect cause they were all trash canned for living legacy and tso development.</p>

<p>I suppose they could do that, but why? The loot is horrible, and using Splitpaw to level up in the later tiers is only going to [Removed for Content] yourself with AA (not to mention that if you're running around down there, you're not doing the faction quests that you should be doing in Kunark, etc.)</p><p>If they completely reitemized the zones, RoKed the gear and had named actually drop ornates/exquisites, then yeah, people would go there.

<p>I would think that since TSO relies on zone scaling, it would make sense to invest resources in to developing a solid zone scaling system first, and releasing that for TSO, and then go back and apply that same scaling to other zones like Splitpaw.</p>

<p>How about making it WORTH doing for 1-50 first.</p>

[woolf2k]

<p>ya... they nerfed that zone so bad...it's just plain sad...</p>

<p>A lot of my guildies loved Splitpaw.  I just don't get it.  It's a total pain in the rear (can't say the a word thats naughty) to stack those boxes and jump up on them, moving barrels ect. </p><p>I just hate the place.</p>

[Flotten]

<p>I liked it, was something different</p>

<p>I've always liked it, and still do. I never went there until after the loot had been nerfed.</p><p>What I like more than anything, however, is a multiple choice as to where I hunt with my various characters. I don't spend long in Splitpaw with any of them, but it's a handy way of filling in any gaps in the levels up to 50 - not that there's much in the way of gaps now - and it would be useful to have that potential increased through the higher levels which is currently where the game  becomes increasingly linear.</p>
