Despite the packs lack of loot it is my favorite for its beautiful explorer area and unique puzzles and quest mechanics I hope they revamp the pack with loot one day it would easily become one of the best in the game

The timing of that is incredibly coincidental...a little TOO coincidental if you ask me.  Huh

Ah, so I guess when they say "Selected Adventure Packs" they really mean that they selected all of them   Tongue

This is what I saw too. Too bad 3BC is one of those places that is not fun because the return is not worth the effort and I would like to see more down with the "Pirate" theme they have going on there.

Even if they just made the loot look more pirate like that would make it worth it farm the place for cosmetic gear.

No One is surprised you like the pirate theme

I bought 3BC when they used to have 50% off sales; and I still think I paid about 49 7/8% too much.

No named loot; terrible XP from quests, average to sub-par favor, and several of the quests are unnecessarily convulted, must take a long walk to get to, and require equipment that most Lv 5-ish players just dont have (Featherfall and a Water Breathing item almost a must).

Honestly in two years of play, I can say I have only ever ran 3BC at much higher levels for the favor.

Ghost of a chance is decent if you have a couple people that can do the puzzle while everyone else clears the area. Last time I was in there with a group of 5, it took 2-3 minutes per run and gave 5k average for the normal runs. That made it just barely worth the swim out there.

It also has the only named item out there: the Amazing Smoldering Cudgel.

I actually forgot about that. Interesting item, pity about the "Drop on death" though.

I do like the 3BC wilderness map it was quite well done; and several of the explorer points are humor-themed, which I also liked.

But there is no teleport there from airships, which means if you want to go there you have to hump your ass down to the docks in D,K or Harbor each time, and the NPC teleporter for 3BC in each case is not close to anything else, which makes the packs access quite inconvenient.

If Turbine intends to keep 3BC as a VIP/Pay pack, it needs some serious tweaking in XP and adding 3BC-themed loot to encourage players to buy/run it, otherwise I really think it should go F2P. I am quite sure it has to be the least popular pack (at least in Restless Isles you can possibly get good named loot).

And the 3BC pack cannot be making them that much money anymore, or they would not be handing out guest passes so frequently in Lottos trying to drum up a bit more purchases.

I think I am up to 3 guest passes now, and I cannot even give them away, so they just sit there taking up bank space.

Out of all the packs this and Catacombs are the 2 I didn't bother with. The explorer area is great, quests are OK, but too much of a run for not much reward. They need a pass on this, start to give it away, or drop the price to 50TP.

I really like the area. It's nice thematically, but there is no real reason to buy it when there is so much content in that level range.

If they bumped it up to 16ish, that would be kind of neat.

This seems to be the consensus on the DDOForums as well. a Good rework and some nice items to make it worth the effort.

The problem is, it cost Turbine nothing to leave it alone.

Ah there you are. Anyway. Well Jonny has filled your gap quite nicely, but I suppose you both could follow me around and post video's, and be my little entourage of fail.
