    Looks like only 2-3 "teams" in the world care about the zone. Noone on my server wants to try it for more then an hour. When the zone requires better gear then it rewards, I believe something is wrong. The old duos have had the best ring and helm in the game, this one gives nothing. I personaly want to clear it once for a mark, but for most people it is only risk(or time) vs reward.
    I think it's too late to change that zone, only a few months untill the expansion, but, please, keep in mind that such zones will never be popular. Just please analyze the great success of CoE duos and the total disregard of Nexus.

    Tbh i totally like the challenge duo zone and like the old ones it motivated me to login besides raids.
    (which most of the casual content doesn't) Waited for the new one like a kid for christmas.

    In my opinion >90% needed to kill this zone is tactics, coordiantion and individual skill.
    I think you don't need high end raidgear to beat the zone but 2 motivated people that are prepared to invest time (and have fun while doing so). People who give up after an hour wouldn't beat it with the best raidgear available anways.
    First time we cleared zone time was 9:57 min (after COUNTLESS hours) and today it was 07:12 min - and this without any change in gear, only tactic better polished.

    So yes imo you don't need better gear than the zone rewards, and although my gear is pretty high end i still think
    the ring that can drop is best in slot for most people, and the cb/pot ears are at least very very nice at some encounters.

    I understand that there are people who don't like a challenge and i know creating a challenge duo ini costs resources.
    But also i wish soe will continue providing us challengening content in the future and i think the devs did really great job with all of the challenge duo inis. Would have been sad if it was too easy : ( but it was quite right.

    (1410526611)[Fri Sep 12 22:56:51 2014] Your stoneskin absorbed 1,248,000 points of damage!
    (1410526611)[Fri Sep 12 22:56:51 2014] Mechanoct's Melt Armor hits YOU but fails to inflict any damage.
    (1410526611)[Fri Sep 12 22:56:51 2014] Mechanoct has killed you.

    Thanks

    It is intended that if you are hit by 3 of Mechanoct's projectiles in a short time period, you will die, regardless of damage prevention methods.
