Ok I tried it out with my VR14 DK in EP,
The good : I found the mobs reasonable. I could take out 3 to 4 solo or 2 regular and a 1 tougher one, but I had to have room to move around if they were the tough ones. If I got caught in a tight place, three attacks landing at once with no room to dodge was too much. All in all about right on that. I got killed a total of 3 times. I lucked up and found someone doing quests on the same step as I was and two made the quest very doable. I completed one district quest (Elven Gardens - the one about the key). I banked 501 TV and lost 28 total. I was using my VR14 Crafter who is a DK with max Stamina and Full heavy armor and dual wield. (cant kill fast but can survive long enough to do so against multiple mobs when going solo)
The Not so good: I went through two districts and through a secret sewer passage back to base and I did not see a single person from an apposing faction. All in all I spent about an hour and a half trying out IC today (~ 9:00 to 10:30am central). While this was good for me, I can see how others might be getting very frustrated by IC. If I didn't see any that means one of two things, either they were not playing or they were getting killed before they got anywhere. My guess is the latter.
[Bug] When in a two person group with someone else as the leader, when we left the first district to the next part of the quest, the chevron showed them as being in the last district (as if they never came through the door). If I pulled up the map it showed their proper location but the chevron never showed above their head again until we entered the EP Base (safe zone) in the sewer. I didn't bug it in game because I didn't want to leave them hanging, but I did let them know why I got separated from them for a minute. (Note: I would have been completely lost on console with this bug and no text chat)
