Strange lack of coordination there. Either they should have scheduled one four hour window, or if there was a strong possibility of time overrun on the first change then one six hour window.
Also yet another “weakly feature”, that hardly qualifies. Want to run a sweep on how long before they abandon it Feldon?
I’d be willing to bet that the EQ2 team will cheer when that happens. I feel like they hate the idea as much as we do.
Another weekly feature that probably took no more than 5 minutes to code, what a joke.
i cannot log in still and all the sites i look at say “servers are up”.. even this one
Great, I never got the Error NBE-1013 until now. I am assuming this maintenance was to fix the problem not make it worse.
I am also getting the NBE-1013 error now. This is an awesome way to “make good” on log in problems.
is their any site that says when this might REALLY be done, or are they just going to keep that a secret. i just logged off for a second to do a transfer and i couldnt get back on
Same here and it’s after 8:30 eastern. No quick zone for my quick EQ2 fix before work
This is great for casual raiders like me! Too bad I’m so casual that I’m not geared to run that zone. Beware as the zone will now be filled to the max with people. Can contested dungeons split into multiple instances like overland zones?

There have already been up to 3 High Keep Contested zones open at once on AB. This is a good update. Before this it was rare to get a decent enough group to stick together long enough in the zone to complete the daily and weekly since you pretty much have to do the zone from top to bottom to complete them both.
As for gear complaints listed above: The zone isn’t as reliant on gear as it is player ability. Primarily the tanks ability to only pull 1-2 groups and position them in a way that additional groups cannot be pulled. Or the DPS ability to control their attacks and no aggro more mobs.
A player with 4/4 cryptic or better could do this zone easily enough.
