How hard is Velious, really?

Velious will be stomped in record time, I bet everything could be killed on day 1.

Also... most of the LDing issues were completely fixed by Velious.

LD'ing maybe, but lag, not a chance. We were still dealing with trouble keeping CH chains steady through PoP, due to a cleric here or there having random latency problems.

Avatar of War is first and foremost, a test of keeping a warrior alive. If that warrior isn't damn near decked out in velious armor, he will be one rounded by a flurry (and AoW flurries a LOT).

After that it's just a matter of endurance (Cleric Mana) vs dps.

Edit: Oh, and killing before you run out of geared warriors with defensive disc lolol

AoW is a test of -- will Nilbog let us have charmed giants. The world wants to know o_o It's classic, yo.

cuz charmed giants and some donals bps, forget about it.

This.

Also... Day 1... I dunno about that.

Tunare/PoGrowth itself is going to be an enormous time expenditure.
No one will be Friendly with dragons on day one so you can't CotH to Yelinak you have to crawl.
NToV will also take several hours

But I guess if people take the day off work and put in 24 hours of "effort", perhaps.

Outdoor dragons (Wuoshi / Kelorek / Zlandicar--not outside but same challenge--), Lodizal, Vindi, Statue, Dozekar, Velketor and Lord Bob will all die first day no problem.

AoW, NToV, Tunare/PoGrowth, Skyshrine may take a bit longer though.

I will be curious to see how often Tunare dies. Or if she doesn't even have loot , how often PoGrowth does. The alt armies will have a purpose now with different factions. Just rotate them as you become ally from killing the opposite faction so you can just run through cities to targets. While using evils for growth.

Was Vulak's loot table the same before he became a scripted event? I thought it was worse than the awesome 100 HP/Mana stuff he has listed on alla now.

Vulak's loot was always what it was. A few items might have been upgraded on HP. But there was a bunch of ohhhing and ahhing as new Vulak items were discovered.

Most Velious content is pretty trivial on a stable server. The hardest part about keeping a tank alive back in 2001 was dealing with the inevitable lag spike + subsequent tank death. This server is far more stable and people have much more practice in maintaining a ch chain. The only real challenge will be fights where ch chains are difficult to maintain due to fear/gflux/etc.

i imagine our ddosing friends will be around at velious launch to help with the classic lag experience
