What is "Group Challenge: Abyssyl Geysers"

Just been reading up on the Summerset chapter and saw that Summerset Isle will include a new Group Challenge called Abyssyl Geysers. No idea what this is.

Is it some sort of group content, similar to what's found in Craglorn?

    Most likely it will be a boss fight in a Public Dungeon.
    Every public dungeon has a group event that awards the player a skill point.

    I expect something more like Dolmens, or portal events in Craglorn.

    It's definitely not this, as it is explicitly stated seperately from world bosses, delves and public dungeons.

    It's probably something like:

    That would be preferred. Hoping this zone can have some more replay ability.

    Abyssal Geysirs are a new form of "Events" like it's stated on the website. I'd say they are the Summerset version of Dolmens.

    And since it looks like they're splitting Outfit functionality from Motifs, we'll probably have the Outfit style pieces drop separately 2-3 months after that.

    Hopefully they'll remember to bake in some anti-bot measures like the Dolmens have or we'll end up with bots sitting around them light attacking a single point again.

    Everyone moans about overland content being too easy...maybe this will offer a bit of a solo challenge?

    Well it might be, but the issue with all these public events is, that you will only ever be able to do them solo while they are on PTS (not very fun). It does not matter how tough something would be to beat, when it is getting swarmed by hordes of people as soon as it spawns.

    Hope so. And I hope it is undoable solo even for max CP guys.

    That big daedra swarming WB in Vvardenfell can be solo'd, so I have no doubt these geysers will be just as easy as the rest of our "group challenges"

    I just hope this won't be like " Dolmens " ...

    I always thought that Dolmen should scale on the number of players arround it. Unfortunaly it's not the case ... like World-boss.

    Has nothing to do with the pubdungs, they're glorified dolmens and they're called Gay-sirs for gods sake!
