Bite your tongue, i need 4 pairs.

I enjoy the Wheloon chain.  Im not a fan of stormhorns from first impressions.

Had someone ddoor back to the beginning after this happened to him. He either got a new one or found the one that was in his inventory from the beginning.

Today was the first time I was on since U19 came out; EE Wheloon was cake. There was no challenge aside from the dungeon alert, significantly easier than EE GH. I hear Storm Horns is at least a little tougher.

The "pay 15 cents to teleport to the quest" needs to die.

Wheloon needs teleport markers like Stormhorns.  Also, the Wheloon wilderness dev needs a punch in the dick.  Creating frustrating zones to promote your "spend 15 cents to teleport to the quest" bullshit  is terribad design.

Also, the Shadowfell graphic effect needs to die in a fire.  I'm surprised no one has started a thread about it triggering epileptic seizures.

I ran What Goes Up on EE earlier tonight. First time in the quest for 4 of us. 2 had run it on EH once, so we had an idea of what to expect. But that last fight got ugly quick...

The trash mobs respawn about as fast as you kill them. But they don't spawn more mobs if you don't kill them, except for a small number of Netherese mages. You need to have one person gather aggro and kite the mobs down the ramp and run them around (or possibly even perch somewhere). Maybe have a second player follow them to heal or take the aggro if the first one dies.

Everyone else stays up on top and destroys the flight engines, then fight the boss for a while. He will stay at about 90k hp's until the ice eles are killed. When the Shadervoi or whatever they're called spawn, try to seperate them one at a time down the ramp and kill. More mobs will appear, so somebody else can kite more or take them down to the first kiter. Kill the boss, loot.

Like I said, it was our first time in there, this was what we observed and just made it up as we went along. But it worked for us, I'll have to try it again and see how well it goes. Good luck with the boots.

It fires randomly, you can spend hours in there before it fires... And then it's Purple Haze time, that also can lasts for hours.

I really liked the Wheloon end quest. Reminded me of Inferno, except more fun. The shadow beholder looked really cool.

End fight was really easy though.

I've got some REALLY cheesy ideas involving intimidate, ddoor, and the safe spot.

And yes, if this is the best way to handle stuff the encounter is broken.

EE Tracker's Trap.  The Red Named Hill Giant had like 350k HP.  The optional Red Named Druid, 280k (ish).  The End boss, was 240k(ish). 

The two non-end boss red names are too high on HP by at least double.  Neither presents any challenge on EE.  It's just a long ass beat down.  I think I nodded off during the hill giant fight. 

It's just poor design.  The most devastating mobs in the whole quest are the Shadar Kai Assassins and their chain attacks that hit multiple times per second for 800-900+ each.

Well considering that they finally removed most of the safe mushrooms in VON3 last year....

Eventually they will fix it so that we have to do the quests the way they wants us to do them.
