<p>I'm sure this has been covered somewhere but I cant find anything specific, so pls bare with me. Could someone explain a little about the new content, especially zones (not instances). What are the zones, by mob level? Solo content? How do you get to the new zones (again, not instances)? Sorry if this has been touched on and thanks in advance.</p>

<p>The only solo zone I can think of (I only played beta for a short time) is the Moors of Ykesha, the new overlands zone. From what I saw, it is geared toward level 70+ players. You get there by riding the airship from the new Sinking Sands dock, which is what they were working on in stage 2 of the DIRTY events.</p><p>Whether or not there's sub-zones that are for solo beyond Moors of Ykesha, I have no idea. Hopefully someone else who played beta more extensively can supply a more comprehensive answer. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>The Solo zone is a massive Overlandzone called Moors of Ykesha, it is the only official solo zone, of course, some will solo atleast parts of the heroic content at some point, but there are no other solo zones than Moors. However, the Moors are really big so thats not much of a issue.</p><p>To access it, take the Airship from SS, it leaves where you got all the recent live event quests from the gnomes that dont like monkeys.</p><p>Once you get to Moors, you will arrive at the docks, there are several quest npc's, also there are merchants, crafting stations and so on.</p><p>Throughout the zone there are several sokokar posts, they work the same way as the rok ones (your rok soko works there, no need to quest for a new one), also there are some other means of travel, not going to spoil those though.</p><p>Mobs are almost entirely solo and in the upper 70's and aoe classes will be happy to know that multimob solo encounters are making a return after they went missing with rok. There are some heroics, but either they are on a faction you get through questing so they wont be aggro, or you easily avoid them.</p><p>the quests are designed "similar" to the rok ones, as in they are often shortish questlines, introduce you to npc who will hand out next ones. There are various locations where the npc's are, the quests do a good a job at guiding you around though.</p>

<p>If you are a tradeskiller, there is a lot of solo (and group stuff if you choose) quests, and missions <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I sugguest, if you are a tradeskiller, that you visit the Moors and speak to Amyee</p>

<p>There arn't any solo sub-zones in Moors either, but the entrances to The Void and Guk are located there.</p>

Where is the content for level 50ish characters? I thought the expansion was geared toward 50-80 level characters, I am not having any luck finding anything

<p>The dungeons scale in level range from 50-80.</p>

<p>I feel seriously misled by this expansion. Misled by the bad wording on what exactly we get as preorder items with the digital download. But even more, I feel misled about the lack of content other than instances for those 50-70. When you read the advertisement it specifically says for levels 50-80. Nowhere, and I don't even see any fine print on this... nowhere does it say for 50-70 instances only.</p><p>It's misleading and dishonest. I'm going to assume that I didn't read the fine print on our preorder digital download items. My fault. It must be written somewhere and I didn't read it.</p><p>But where does it say, even in fine print about lack of real content for 50-70? A link to that would be great. I'm talking about the fine print in the advertisement. Not something posted on the forums. I don't visit the forums often and I don't use them for complaining. This is my first real complaint here and I've been with SOE games for years now.</p><p>This is wrong, dishonest and I can take a good guess on why SOE did it this way. They were afraid that if they targeted only the crowd that this expansion was designed for, they wouldn't sell enough copies. They misled/lied and made it out to be like it was an actual expansion for 20 previous levels that it's essentially useless for excepting instances.</p><p>If I wanted to play instances I'd still be playing Guild Wars.</p><p>Thanks for ripping off alot of people</p>

I probably would have purchased the expansion anyway for my lev 80 toons; however,  I do not like nor respect a company that will lie to me through false or intentional misleading advertisement  in order to get my $$$'s and this is NOT the path SOE should have ever taken or took if they intended or intend to bring new accounts to eq2 or to maintain the current subscribers that are within the game at present.</p><p>Tisk, Tisk, SOE shame on you!!! lol</p></blockquote><p>Link me a single press release or developer statment saying that TSO will have solo content for level 50 characters.</p><p>You will not be able to do that, because it does not exist. If it does not exist, that means they did not try and missinform you at all.</p><p>There were posts for about 3 months prior to release saying what content they have (zones that scale etc), and they have always aimed for 75+ with the outdoor zone. None of that has changed since SoE first mentinoed TSO. I am going to assume you read what they had published wrong, as that is the only explination for it. If this does turn out to be the case, it is your fault, and your fault alone.</p><p>SoE make enough mistakes as it is, there is no need to go blaming things they did not do on them as well.</p>

<p>Flaye please correct me if i am wrong, but I thought you dont even own tos yet? Thought you were getting it in december? If that is the case then you really have no business reacting to any post in regards to tos positives and negatives, as you have to frame of reference.</p><p>It's like the owner of a pinto doing a write up on the new corvette, just doesn't make sense.</p>

I now have TSO, & spent most of yesterday afternoon running around MOY.</p><p>Edit: In any event, one doesn't need to own TSO to know that the complaints about SOE "lying" & "intentionally misleading" people are flat-out nonsense. <strong>The simple fact is that both YOU & I knew this stuff long, long ago: obviously, then, SOE didn't lie to anyone.</strong></p><p>Those three didn't know, because they never bothed to look into the product or come to the forums or do anything to find out what it was going to be about. That's bad enough, but for them to then come to the forums & pop off wild-eyed accusations is, IMO, offensive.</p>

<p>From what i gather, the level range of the instance is similar to how Splitpaw works. I could be wrong though. Just last night my guild did the somborn cemetary stuff. We had a 76 in the group. The rest were 80s. Most of the mobs were blue to the 80s. However i went into befallen alone yesterday alone and noticed everything was 82 so i made a run for the door.</p>

<p>Not enough solo content to get above 150 AA any time fast. So are they saying I have to go back and do old content in order to reach at least 170 AA? Now I have to spend time doing grey quests and looking for pick up groups when my guild aren't on ...awesome fun.</p><p>Absolute joke - yes the main complaint about RoK was a lack of group content but serisouly - has anyone heard of balance?</p>

<p><cite>Wunderace wrote:</cite></p><blockquote><p>Not enough solo content to get above 150 AA any time fast.</p></blockquote><p>Who said that? I have barely touched the solo content and I'm at 148. I did run 3 heroic instances, but by far most of the AA has come from MoY quests.</p><p>You can't swing a dead cat without hitting someone with a feather above their head.</p>

<p>Well I see that I did misunderstand, but this is where I got the idea:</p><p><strong>The latest expansion provides content for players level 50-80, including more than 20 new zones and an achievement point increase to 200.   </strong></p><p>I really did think it meant overland would be 50's so I guess for me I need to read more carefully in the future  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p><p><strong></strong></p>
