Is it true that the majority of 80-90 dungeons are just going to be scaled up versions of the TSO zones that we are all tired of running now?
It may be instanced dungeons will be scaled versions of T8 dungeons, however there has been word of a couple new ones as well as a large contested dungeon.
From what I understand, SF will be all new content, and in addition, since there is a level cap increase, some dungeons which currently scale by level will be adjusted to scale up to 90.

Brand new zones are inc! We are indeed looking at scaling the tso zones that already scale up to 90. However, that is completely separate from the big ole number of brand new zones coming with the expansion. And they're rad. I <3 our artists.

Most of my time is spent raiding and when I have free time it is usually in small spurts so I don't have time to screw around with getting into a PUG and wiping a hundred times. So while I'm sure the art is great and all is SOE spending all their time with a dozen+ new group zones and forgetting solo/duo again? Don't get me wrong here though - I appreciate the hard work the artists are doing and I wish I had half the talent they do but i don't want to have to do heroic zones over and over and over to get AA like in TSO. Having tons of solo and tons of group is great, but having tons of group and practically zip for solo/duo makes me sad.

If you can solo auto attack through kunark solo content then give the heroic zones a try they might pose you a challenge solo.
Gninja wrote: Fantastic! So your telling me I'll get atleast as much xp soloing heroic mobs than I would have gotten doing solo content right? Cause in kunark, soloing heroics was a miniscule amount of xp compaired to the autoattack solo content.
We are making sure that players trying to level can choose to quest solo/group or grind solo/group and all will be a viable way of advancing in the expansion. Slaying things tougher than normal should give better than normal reward.

kela wrote: Yes, when I zoned into KP with my EoF raid gear, I autoattacked only and killed any quest update mob there. I documented this in the threads about why soloquest sucked when RoK released. I was by no means the only player to document this. I could turn on autoattack vs say a drovarg outside kc and it would die and I'd be at 70-80% health. I'm pleased Gninja has stated slaying harder stuff will give more reward, cause that hasn't been true since pre-rok, and I'd assumed it was a concious design decision on their part.
