Greetings in 2020! The Iceclad Ocean holds great nostalgic value for many. Since it is likely that we will not see a new Iceclad Ocean with ToFS portal in EW, could we see an Iceclad Ocean mission and raid for anniversary content this or next year? The missions could be set in the original Iceclad Ocean zone. Mission: The Frozen Ocean The gnome pirates have gathered to evacuate on the docks - think Dunkirk! They seek help to hold back the infection in Iceclad. Disembark from a stuck Icebreaker Kill 8-12 Restless snow cougars Kill Restless Midnight Kill Restless Stormfeather Kill Garou the Infected Loot: New Charm Augment: Pearl of the Darkened Sea, naming convention follows Jetsam & Floatsam augments from GMM. Upgrades to Wee'er Harvester and Bigger Belt of the River as random rare drops. Raid: Killer Turtle Lodizal is infected and rampages against the gnoll village. Defend the Snowfang gnoll village Kill Lodizal Mechanics: If a set number of gnoll villagers die, the raid fails. Snow dervish adds with auras or other spells. As an homage to the past, include a charm Corudoth mechanic. Corudoth is the only element permitted to do (bane) damage to Lodizal for a stage. ToV Raid Quality Loot: Lodizal Shell Shield Belt of the Great Turtle Knotted Turtlebone Ring Lodizal Shell Boots Club of the Ice Ocean Spear of Winter Snowfang Fetish Garou's Bone Club (2HB) Eyepatch of Plunder Drakkel Wolf Claws Iceball (Bow) Gnomish Pirate Cloak Gnomish Pirate Rapier Torque of Hoar Frost Ring of Frost Frosted Gem Frozen Mantle
Very good ideas! I was particularly bummed out when I found there was no Iceclad with this expansion. That was the first experience most people had with original Velious and definitely was full of nostalgia.
It would be nice to get the Iceclad sand island involved with a mission. This could also be permanent content introduced with the anniversary.
How about a Plane of Growth Mission & Raid with a Frozen (Disney movie) theme? Tunare as Elsa. A totem man follows you through the mission like Olaf.
