    So, is this just gone for every server, or is Drinal bugged?

    Or, did this have something to do with the next tier of raids opening?

    Just curious, since I've seen zero people talk about it.

    It's gone on every server. Not sure if it was the raids opening, or defeating the raids on the server.

    I was shocked, but it's a great way to do "locked" progression. It disappeared after the first guild won the door raid on my server (Xegony).

    We'll see if it was a one-off idea or if the rocks in front of the Darklight Caverns door disappear after tier 3 opens.

    Yeah, I noticed it disappeared the day the raids opened, so I figured that was probably it.

    Which means the devs put that whole "need to do the mission to get through the door" BS into the game purely for spite, because they knew at the time the door would be gone in a month.

    LOL. Who cares. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

    Nearly all players were doing all missions.

    I thought this was awesome.

    We haven't had any static zone changes caused by defeating raids in a very long time. Good job, devs!

    This was a good idea... it eliminates the constant complaining about locked zones like in TBL.

    The point is that they put a restriction in place for something they knew was going away in less than a month for no other reason than to mess with players. That's not a precedent I want to see set.

    Math much? The expansion has been out for 2 months.

    I don't understand how you can see malice here. In EQ, flagging, keying, or progression locks are 100% normal. And removing those requirements over time is also normal.

    Very cool. But a serverwide message or an in game plaque would be even cooler, to announce who opened it for your server.

    It was really cool I think. Makes the game feel more dynamic. Doesn’t make a ton of sense for the partisan quest now that the commander stares at the door but it is what it is.

    I was running the door mission 12x a day for a while, offering free TAs in General, 1 solid mage and 1 cleric or shaman is all you need.

    you could also CoH or campfire past the door. So it was hardly a barrier.

    It would have been amusing to get a CoH, only to slam into the door and it take half your health because of some magic barrier attached to the door.

    It hasn't been normal in YEARS. Then it's just randomly, haphazardly, thrown in without any warning.

    I wish live servers had the serverwide messaging that TLP servers get for raids being beaten, just limit it to recent expansion raids.

    1. Unlocking zones is normal. It doesn't matter how long it's been since the last zone was unlocked, it's still a normal thing to do.
    2. It's not random or haphazard if the team discussed it and decided to make it so.
    3. There's no reason to provide a warning for a benefit.

    It was removed when the first guild beat the raid on each server. We raided Saturday and it was gone after we beat the raid. I play on multiple servers and checked Emarr after we got done on Povar and the door was still there on Emarr. I guess the guilds there didnt do the raid until later that night.
