    The patch notes seem to indicate that the zone was supposed to make an appearance in game today, and yet we can't seem to find it at the normal zone-in. Are we supposed to zone in from somewhere else?

    Current speculations include a) it's like the other 3 challenge duo zone-ins and the zone in is a tiny object that rotates around VI or b) it won't be turned on until 9 am like age's end.

    Well Ucala, you were right about the FoB, I found the zone in.

    Solo'd to 90% with a slacker bruiser, I see it being dead by the end of the night to at least the top 3 WW guilds. Also, Vishus, go solo it so I can watch?

    yea, I pulled it on my illy, lasted like 2 min solo. seems pretty easy unless something changes mid fight

    Zone in is really the universal nexus zone in, Vesspyr. What % do those ancient rippers pop up? 50%? Looks like the dark matter missles decrease his/her armor plating (firing or proximity of detonation?). It would be funny if it needed to take a blast at the center hole to finally die at the end (via Pawbuster).

    lol Electric, it didn't show up until ~9:30 soe time iirc.

    Yes, SoE time is much more accurate then PDT in this case.

    I solo'd it down to 80% then the ancient rippers activated and kept healing it back to 100%.. and they're immune to attack..
  16. Ucala Well-Known Member

    the rippers aren't what heals them to 100
  17. Laita Well-Known Member

    Considering the ancient rippers say "diverting healing energy to mechanoct... complete" and then a green glowing ripper flies into the mob and it heals back up to 100%... i'd say it is.. but have only been messing around in the zone for about 20 minutes, so..
  18. Ucala Well-Known Member

    since it starts at 80%, I'd say it's just the green missle the name launches
  19. Laita Well-Known Member

    it's not, the missiles are purple.. at 80% is when the ancient rippers activate to heal the name you can stand back and watch them fly across the zone.. but think I have that part figured out (for the most part)
  20. Ucala Well-Known Member

    at 80 there are all purple missles and 1 green one per set (2 at a time) and the green ones heal him if they hit him
  21. Yajirushi62 Active Member

    yeah, Ucala is correct this time.
