The group dungeon "Darkside Caverns" in Deshaan has been nerfed.

RSram · October 2014

I just did the "Darkside Caverns" in Deshaan solo as VR-3 and this zone should be a VR zone as I am doing the Cadwell's Silver quests in the Ebonheart Pact. The bosses had about a 16,000 health, but were too easy to kill. Every other NPC had health lower than 700 with the exception of a few that had a health about 1200.

With the exception of the final boss, the other ones were dealing very little damage, The whole dungeon seemed like it cloned the settings from a level 30 group dungeon zone.

Anyway I put in a bug report, but if you want the achievements, now is the time to get them, or if you are passing by the dungeon, you can confirm this post.

Uhm, that's because it WAS the lvl 20 version.

Set the dungeon mode to veteran in the group window before entering. But why are you even trying to solo a veteran dungeon? Especially this one, which is meant for VR6-10.

Since there are no players lower than VR1 in the Cadwell's quest, why would any of the dungeons have a level 20 difficulty? All of the solo and public dungeons so far have the correct difficulty level for a VR player (although nerfed a bit).

This is my third pass through the Cadwell's Silver quest, and I don't remember having to manually set the group dungeons to veteran level, is this something new?

So even if you are not in a group, you have to set the group dungeon to your veteran level? I'll check that option out the next time I play.

BTW I was in the dungeon looking for a lore book when I noticed the difficulty level of the mobs.

Thanks for the information, but I still think in a VR zone, the dungeons should default to a VR level like the solo and public dungeons in the same zone.

I just checked out the Darkside Caverns and changed to Veteran mode as you stated and the dungeon remained at level 30 or so. All of the NPC's had a health lower than 1000.

I when into the Fungal Grotto in normal mode and all of the NPC's had a health higher than 4000 which is what a VR level group dungeon should be in this zone. I was in normal mode.

So it looks like Darkside Caverns is broken.

I can post several screen shots if you need more clarification.
