I totally love the big HE's like the remorhaz one , I love how literally everybody in the zone can come along and take part ,it's great , I can't wait to see what the black ice beholder one is like .
The only thing I dislike is the way rewards are allocated , it sounds like it's based purely on dps and that has to change to give other classes especially healing DC's a chance at good loot.
I wonder if they would consider rolling out HE's to every zone in the game or are they just limiting them to IWD content and onwards?
As far as the rewards, I know Cryptic can do better.
They have done better in past games. These function very similar to CO's open missions. And even those track score by more then just DPS. NWs combat log already tracks healing and damage taken. It shouldn't be that hard to base rewards on a combined adjusted score, instead of just pure damage.
depends if is what ppl say is truth and scores on heroic encounters are based on dps alone then this will be another part of game where cw will dominate everyone else
Well the major HEs are a major pain in the derrier without heals, tanks, and single target dps (Remhoraz as an example). As for awards, they seem more rng based than anything else.
Me and some buddies have figured part of it out and that is all I will say publicly, the concern has been forwarded to the dev team. It is not solely based on damage done. The reward system will need some major tweaking. It is exploitable.

Glad you are on top of it...which if anyone is...you are. Hell you and your band of brothers are all over this server...lol By the way, thanks for the hand-out on the splinters. Crafted my gloves today...yes I am rubbing it in, but do hope yours drop soon.
*high five* :cool:
The one from the .gif? No idea... lol
Now quit <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> around and get your Black Ice gear already so we can run this **** skirmish. I have three fully empowered pieces just waitng for a meat sack to join a party and take the initial damage...lol
I just need my **** arms to drop somewhere....on a different note today I was back online late this evening and a rare 6 to 10 person HE just spawned as I zoned into Ice Wind pass. Could not get any of the pvp'ers to come to it. and it had I think a 20 min timer.
Later while talking in zone chat come to find out I was the only there with access to Dwarven Valley, they all said they did not bother to farm for the access. OMFG

I think a lot of the pvpers are just hanging out in the first zone...pvping. I know that you and I have soloed the "mother load" in DV many times.
