Good afternoon to all and sundry!
PTS downloaded in anticipation of Imperial City - only took me an hour. I was shocked.

I was able to heal a Vet pledge without an issue, and had to two-man a boss with the tank since the two DPS dc'ed right before the fight. That was fun though.

Yes. Dungeons will be scaled up to VR16, and the loot you receive from these dungeons will also drop up to VR16. Loot you receive from both old and new dungeons (the new ones being the White-Gold Tower and Imperial Prison) can be deconstructed for a chance at some of the new materials.
Woohoo! @Xendyn you may be interested in this...ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »GinaBruno think you can find out if this is the case?

So really, if I like the new gear sets in the new dungeons... I don't need Tel Var stones except for enchanting! Which I think the daily quest loot boxes should give enough for that.

So there's new crafting materials? My stockpile of voidstone and the like are useless?

Yep, use em up on writs and stuff, or get em on the market before most people realize this.
Really it's about time. Void has been stretched way too far at this point, anyway.
adding: There's also a new Alchemy Solvent and Enchants. So Cloud Mist and Kura won't be top of the line anymore, either. No new traits tho, so those of us that are 9 trait crafters have much to look forward to.

Cool! See, the farther we go the better it gets for you non pvpers
I'm looking forward to more details on the sets at Quakecon.

Side note: in the time I've been away from the forums I finally hit VR14, and participated in my first trial (not in that order). But I did see that the tale of that first trial has already been told in this thread by @MissBizz. I will say that I'm fairly happy that we got as far as the last boss with so many inexperienced people (like myself, and also the guy who had just done his first group dungeon, followed immediately by his first veteran dungeon the night before) in the group. The next run I'm sure we'll all do better! I should especially be better at healing in my shiny new VR14 gear (including 5-piece Healer's Habit set).
Sheesh, I go away from the forums for a couple of weeks, come back and this thread is up to 78 frickin pages... Ain't no-one got time for that!
I got irritated with the vitriol on the forums and decided to stay away for a while. Plus, I'm usually on the forums when I'm bored at work, and I had a week's worth of process simplicity workshops with no computer... Frankly I was expecting them to kick me out after the first day considering I was the guy shooting down a lot of the ideas being thrown around (actual quote from me as close as I can remember it: "granted I've only been working in credit risk for a little over a month, but I feel like it would be a bad idea to stop getting people to sign their mortgage documents when they're changing the legal terms and conditions..."). I really wasn't expecting to be there for the duration.

lol I know, I know... It's OK though, a break from the madness has refreshed me enough that I'm OK with dealing with a bit more of it for the time beingI got irritated with the vitriol on the forums and decided to stay away for a while.

Well...
I kinda suggest you don't look too closely out there, then.
