Most Over-camped Zone in Velious?

[joppykid]

When Velious comes out, which zone do you think will be most over-camped?
Velketor's Kael Icewell Dragon Necropolis Siren's Western Wastes Eastern Wastes Other


I assume that Velk's will be highly over-camped, this was one of my favorite zones from Live.

I'm thinking ToV...there are a lot of raiding guilds that will have a lot of 60s at that time ready to jump right in to the best loots.

Good call, I probably should have put that on the list haha.

In terms of grouping? Velks

In terms of raiding? Straight to ToV.

Can 59 - 60 Necromancers solo in Velious dungeons? Exp, or item camps?

I remember seeing necros soloing in velks for sure. A few nice twink items drop in there as well as quest armor gems.

[joppykid]

What will the SCHW sell for at first? No more than 30k I hope.

[Stoggieman]

Memory could be shot, but didn't velks have that awful juiced up version of velium poison when it first went live? And it wasn't until they dropped the potency that people started hunting like crazy in there?

[RahlaeRuffian]

First raid I ever went on, we zoned out from the cave from Siren's Grotto to instigate murder in the first degree. We may have lost. Shit was fun though. Some wurm I think.

Edit: In short, it will change as people progress.

[Itap]

Velks for the grind. I spent a lot of time in CS kiting also

Kael and then Chardok after the revamp.

Velks loot is arguably not above Sebilis/HS. People remember it being overcamped because the EXP was amazing and the loot was decent. Here, everyone is 60 and AAs aren't in (Velks was perma-dead in Luclin).

Kael Arena is where most of the server will gear up. Solo/duo players will be doing PoM, but Kael is an excellent place for 1-2 level 60 groups to gear up. There's very little reason to trash your dwarf faction since frost giant faction is useless (avoid Gleed and you don't need it) and Coldain BP/Legs are very good until you can get better.

I'm going to be living in PoM during the off hours though.

When Chardok comes into play, the loot there is pretty much ahead of anything droppable until the CT revamp in Luclin.

I remember Ry' Gorr being so bad ass but looking at the stats now its just ok haha. I guess thats because I was mid 30's when Velious came out. It looks bitchin tho, I remember that much. Orc Fang earrings going to flood the markets!! Get those twinks 3 more hp!

So velks will be the crappy/hard pre-revamp version at velious release, right? Shits classic

[Halfelfbard]

Ima say kael, once the main raid guilds are out of there...it will b farmed like hell, grouped you named it. It's not that hard once you get the hang of it.

[Ele]

People going to need those gems for armor turn ins !

[Snagglepuss]

I think Cobalt Scar will have some pretty intense quadding disputes and petitioning.

[Vladesch]

Maybe more people xp'ing in kael at times, but velks has less to hunt.
Actually I doubt it will be overcamped. I can see 2 or 3 groups which should be plenty to pull.

[Hollywood]

What will the SCHW sell for at first? No more than 30k I hope.

Hand Wraps should be no more than 10k on average final price.
The stats on top of a haste item would be significant if not for the fact that it will be Velious era.

What I do hope is that there are not many people intentionally soloing it, as that particular spot (Crawler ledge) is a nice piece of real estate for one or two xp groups.

It's different than say Frenzied Ghoul which is not a common xp spot.

[Baxter]

You all are forgetting that Velks was updated some time after Velious release. It was a ghost town before it was revamped.

[ArumTP]

Western Wastes.
Everyone and their mother is going to want those necklaces and want to raid dragons that have been perpetually blocked off to them.

[HeallunRumblebelly]

I uh, why are people going to be crowding into velks again when there's no AA? Good PL zone I guess :p

[waldo]

don't forget good ole tofs. Students homework and sorc bowl for the win

Not everyone is lvl 60 =p

[Xelris]

Velk's became more or less the Watercooler zone after 60 and before Luclin hit. Lotta people went there just to sorta socialize and buff and act like they're doing something when raids weren't happening.

I didn't do that. I had a life.

(I did that. I did that a lot :()

[bigups43]

So like KC now Xelris?

[Briscoe]

My question is, is it worth it for the devs to attempt to roll out Velious with the pre-revamp Velk's?

A quick search of the usual websites yields virtually no information about the zone before the revamp, precisely because no one ever went there. So unless the devs have access to some great information, I don't see how they can even implement the pre-revamp zone as it truly was without investing a ton of effort. Would that even be worth it? Might as well spend your time on the version of the zone people are actually going to use (not to mention the permanent version).

[Anger]

Trick question. Velious is at least a year away.
