Challenge Duo Zones

This sounds reasonable. These zones really sound like they will be quite challenging looking forward to them.
Please don't nerf them because of posts they are too hard though at least for a few weeks.

Edit for clarity - I don't want them nerfed at all I agree with the poster below me. I don't expect to be able to clear these right off but I'd rather spend a few K plat dying over and over than to have them nerfed for the sake of placating the inevitable crowd that will be calling out for them to be nerfed.

Please don't nerf them at all. And this is coming from someone who can't clear the zones.

As long as they're not being nerfed, that's cool.

any coercers manged to do any of them yet?

I would have to try it on my coercer eventually but I would have thought that Voxxom has run it once

Can you comment on if some things are intended? If you get hit by adds once are you permanently intended to get hit by blazing weapon for the rest of the fight with no way to stop it? (Because this happens, nothing worse then getting hit by Blazing Weapon when adds aren't even up)

Is there something players are missing in Aquaduct that would make the adds easier to deal with?

When the det isn't on anyone are you intended to get hit by disharmony?

Can we get some locations plz.... they are unlocked on my server would like to check them out

the named gets another blazing weapon buff on him when adds are too close but the buff actually does drop like 2 mins later, im not sure if its 2 mins exactly but yeah somewhere around there

Maergoth and Drums found them I think, they are there how about searching for hours on end like they did AFTER they are unlocked.
I personally don't want to be told, first to find it should reap the rewards.

I'm going to guess that the zone names may be some sort of tip offs to at least isolate where to look.

well not everyone has hours every day to spend looking for a zone in.... i dont see why people have to be so rude not to share

There are like 3-4 zone in for each, and they move around.

Abbyssal Aquaduct is in the water not far from Scarstone, where the ripper fish are. Utterly blanking on the name of the area, Hollow Grotto or something like that. I saw the entrance on my map Monday, and I run EQ2maps.

What intrigues me very much is the new fix on Test, of how you must be grouped with your challenge duo partner inside the zone or bad things can happen.

Yanno...that really makes me wonder just how huge was the loop hole that fix closed....

Not really huge. One unnamed berserker soloed AA in like 22 minutes with it.

It isn't 'rude' not to share, and word will filter down normally. as they are found by others and eventually mapped.
You don't have to be spoon fed everything, if you don't have the time to search for the zone are you gonna have the time to spend hours trying to beat it? Or then will you come and ask SOE to quit being rude and nerf it so that you can?

thanks for the info on the zone locations... and to lempo if you cant see the difference between spending hours just looking for a zone in and spending hours trying to beat a zone.... i dont know what to tell you .... other then you need help

I would vote on the don't unlock the zones side. Let us work for the reward rather than trivializing it.

Edit: eq2maps will have the zone locations marked soon enough if you don't want to run around hunting. From what slippery said the entrances sound a bit similar to the small scorpion zones in Zek.

So, because someone ELSE spent hours looking for the zone in, you feel entitled to have them tell you where they found it...
