I keep hearing mention of a "revamp" to VP..... what the hell did they do to it? I thought all they did was remove the teleport restriction on it.. that counts as a revamp??
-Nah-

uh I dunno if you ever went to the old VP, but it went something like this..
some safe spots
2 min spawns
wurms that would split into ones that hit for 1000+ and unslowable and shit like that
basically it was retarded. You also couldn't gate out.
So they took out all the stupid stuff, now it's like a mini-ToV. Enjoy.
The safe spots were removed though.

LoL, a zone like ToV but anyone who did that b***h ass key quest is so far past going there it's all pointless.
I dont get why they even bother redoing some of these zones. Like the SS revamp. does anyone ever hunt there ? its it in some way better than it was before ? or this hate revamp, unless the loot was upgraded why would anyone bother farming hate no matter how cool it might now look ?
Seems to me the only revamp they got right was chardok . I'd say sleepers too because it's all better than it was but by the time they put the change in all they really should have done is do what everyone was asking for , put the sleeper back to sleep weekly. I guess CT is cool too but they had to take away a really cool noob zone to do it.
how meny times has befallen been revamped ?
Not to mention these revamps always come forever and a day after they leak them. I first heard abpout the veskar , VP , Droga and Nurga revamp like well over a year ago.

the revamp to skyshrine was a good one imo. the bigest reason being is they gave lord yelinak some company. you have to clear out his gimp ass guards now. they also limit the time you have to kill and loot him and be out of the area. makes it a little harder to do. the respawn isnt incredibly fast but its not slow either.

and yeli needs to be harder why ? and a whole revamp of a zone just to add some guards to yeli ?
Yelis loot sucks. if i remember right he drops some PoS whip noone in thier right mind would even put on thier twink , a earing that sucks just about as much , a way outdated mask and then the one and only good peice, GoDS.
Why VI would take the time to make him harder in such a gimp way its beyond me.

i dont know the whole reevamp. i didnt say it was the only thing. but yelinak was to easy anyway. his earing is decent, the st key and GoDs are nice.
being CoHed into place and buffing with no danger at all made his encounter to easy. you could zone in fight one mob and be done. adding those guards made it harder but not impossible to do.

We killed one when it pathed onto us clearing for Yeli. I assume you mean the crusaders.
He proc'd a evac spell that sent all our melee to WL zone in. We had to get CoH set up to bring them back to finish up the fight. Probably 500k hp hits for 500+.
Crappy loot to deal with the issue of CoH during a fight.

no, and there is only one crusader, he's a slow roamer and I didn't seem him come anywhere near Yeli's lair in 4 hours. The drakes are a joke as well. All it did was move yelinak from like a 2 difficulty to a 3 difficulty on the 1 to 10 scale.

5 of us zoned into VP after the patch and started killing wurms. Not bad exp. But then Silverwing appeared and showed us the door.
Was fun to do just because though...
