What happened to Veksar? It zones us right into the arena on entry now... which is weird, because ever since I've came to THF, it's been the only place worth AAing in.

Only because it's so easy. Povalor is great for aa also, and is more suitable for the gear level that people are at by level 70. It was likely removed for the same reason that PoNightmare was removed way back when.

Or maybe it made the list for a custom zone, and was taken off line for a while so people would look forward to its return...

Aarcore

Hey, I can dream can't I??

Yeah but PoV eats me up, even with my gear. It takes way too long to AA there. Veksar was like the perfect % per kill. Not too much, not too little.

/agree with jeido

way to easy to earn AA there, some other non custom zones like CT are still decent AA but the mobs still at least have some dmg and some hp to where its not 5+ AA in a pull that cant hurt you.

Sorry... But are you kidding me? Mobs in CT do more damage than Veksar?

Wow, I totally get hit for 200-300 in CT and get kicked for over 800 by monk mobs. Oh wait, haven't seen any.

If you removed Veksar because it's "too easy", why not remove CT aswell, and Velks, and others that I can think of. It's way "easier" there because mobs hit for less and have less HP.

The reason why Veksar was good was because it just had a lot of mobs to pull, so there wasn't much downtime, if you had a group with you. It's not really much quicker than PoV or Seb or wherever you like to go to get those easy AAs. What made it a LOT quicker was having a pally with you doing 5k cleanses. (Assuming you're not end game geared.)

Don't mean to come off as offensive to anyone, and I apologize if I did , but I really wish there was more thought into that. Thanks.

Everyone seems to be jumping to conclusions and getting all defensive. Why not wait and see the reason why before getting all upset?

On a related note, if Veksar was yielding 5 AA on a pull (with a pull averaging 10-20 mobs in easy zones), that is WAY too much xp ... 25-50% of an AA per kill? That is insane.

In CT you're lucky to get 2 AA on an entire clear of 4C with the temple ... 30 mobs I would guess ... 6% of an AA per kill.

I have no idea, didn't shut this down. But if it did indeed give too much exp or the skill/exp ratio was out of whack (see Velks for example) then this might be a good reason for being closed.

To my knowledge, there are no plans to do anything with Veksar atm.

Sorry for the late reply, if was me. Veksar was out of line compared to other zones exp wise. actually, it got reported by players that ppl got 400 AAs in a few days, and thats not how it should happen on THF.. I hope you understand that we want to grant a (relativly) slow but fun progression. If you think other zones are offering such an unbalanced exp rate, please let me know, cause I will close em at least till we can get a chance to revamp. if you really like Veksar, hell we can tuni it up to have an alternative zone to PoV or so..

400 AAs in a few days? The only people that really farm there are my guildies, and they dont even have 400 AA now. 250 AA tops in a few weeks was our record there. But if you want to close it, it's your server after all. :D
