All content gets old, so it is pretty easy to dismiss Haunted Halls now that it has "been done".  It was and still is a pretty nice dungeon.  Good challenges, good loot, and entertaining.  If they do the same with Temple of Elemental Evil, I will be happy.  I rarely give Turbine credit for doing anything right, especially of late, but Haunted Halls deserves the credit it has been getting.

I am wondering if there will be some sort of expanded loot for the Xoriat stuff.  Perhaps, an Epic Elastic Bow?

I love the voice acting...think the quest is stupid.

I agree that there is very little in the 13, 14, 15 level range. And that those ranges could use a boost. While it is entirely possible to skip all lv 13-15 quests on an iconic. By doing wheloon, storm horns, druid's deep, high road, vale, lord of dust, reaver's reach, and then turning in 2 sagas for 300k. Lord of eyes and amrath arent even needed to cap to 20 going this route. However, It is not feasible to do so on any normal race.

Already many on the forums have also pointed this out. Turbine knows this. Which leads me to agree on the popular sentiment that these level ranges are being catered to for iconic sales.

I know... I tried... Even went as far as to suggest something à la old VON1 : an Inn and you start the Temple straight from it...

They prefer to do it the way they have decided, it will give them the opportunity to add Homlett and an explorer area... Eventually.... some day... when they have time...

Whereas I found it to be incredibly cliched and badly done!

I enjoy running Fear Factory and Lord of Stone but actively loathe the other 6 quests in those two chains!

Worst of all is that inane Fashion Show in In the Flesh!

they'll range from resistant to immune.

I stand corrected, they actually are making new content, it seems... maybe... we'll see

I still would like to point out that ToEE is Greyhawk, yet another completely different campaign world than Ebberon or Toril. Seems odd they would choose to do that over fleshing out more of what they already started (as I doubt they are actually going to release a whole Greyhawk Oerth world or even a small city to explore so it ties together and makes sense)...

Unless it's that the devs actually know nothing about the over 40 yrs of premade D&D worlds and history available to them. Someone should probably tell them about it.

These guys have not used a single thing to accuracy from any publications' world or dungeon map or blueprint layout from now back to the 70's. Can't even get the map of Cormyr right and that's just a fucking doodle. Point is, if you loved the actual original module; get your salt shaker ready because it will take more than a few grains to get through it without rage over accuracy, most likely. 

That being said, it will probably be a fun 15 min solo with better bullshit bta loot than we currently have.

I played Temple of Elemental Evil on the PC and thought it sucked rotting donkey ball cheese.

If they wanted to select a quest that would not only challenge EVERYONE (even the "I can solo all EE content on any character" people) but would easily outstrip every quest in the game, they should do The Labyrinth Of Madness.

Labyrinth of Madness

My guess is no.
