WTB CoH in WoS!

[jakeybob]

I really like WoS, its a fun zone and the mobs and drops seem well tuned and exciting. It's a cool zone and the mobs there keep me on my toes.

However, it seems like nobody ever uses that zone, which is a shame because it really is fun. I myself never go there because it's simply too much effort to go there and either a) clear my way across the zone, or b) try to run all of my 6 chars over there without dying on them.

That and wiping there totally kills my motivation to go back, cause it takes forever to get back and get set up again.

I don't know why CoH is disabled there, but I'm guessing it's because it is an open zone and there are no requirements to get in there, and you don't want anyone to just be able to get coh'ed and loot the rotting nice drops, which makes sense.

But at the same time it's really too bad not many people use the zone.

Could it possibly be made a t4 or t5 zone? where you have to have the proper flags to zone in there, and CoH enabled? This would keep people from going there that aren't able to kill anything there, and I imagine it would increase the amount of people going there.

Anyhow, it was just a thought I had, I really like the zone but I never ever go there because there is no CoH, and I think most other people are the same way. Putting a tier requirement on it and enabling CoH would really make it a more viable option.

Thanks!

I had a chat with Mikuz about WoS. (he's the designer and developer of the zone)

I'm sorry but no plans on changing it. The difficulty is basically based on gear checking t5+ 70's so its a real challenge as it is. It's a public zone and there are like 28 named in it along with some unique quests. We think that enabling CoH would eventually ruin the zone, the fun and the challenge. Players would have no reason anymore to group up, to go there and experience it as it is if they could just "get" a CoH to a named and loot something. We would like to encourage everyone to experience the zone end explore every little bit of it.
