Amdapor Keep (Hard) story Guess....

[LineageRazor]

Does that only happens during the unlocking quest? I went there now (after I unlocked it long time ago) and I didn't see any NPC resembling her...

Dhex is mistaken. While there is a party of four adventurers outside Sastasha (they are only there during the unlock quest, and disappear after you complete the quest), none of them is named Edda. The party is designed to be sort of a parody of the original party which included Edda, only THIS time instead of the tank scolding and abusing the healer, the healer scolds and abuses the tank.

Why AK hard? Why not Thousand Maws, Cutter's Cry, Darkhold, or AV? Guess this means we'll start seeing hard modes of Lost City, WP, Pharos, Hullbreaker, and Snowcloak?

This question was answered in the recent LiveLetter. For all of the Hard Modes up until now, the original dungeon was designed with the eventual goal of adding Hard Mode dungeons. For example, when designing Haukke Manor, the East Wing (used in Hard Mode) was designed at the same time that they were designing the West Wing (used in normal). Maws, Cry, Dzemael, and Vale, though, were all carried over from 1.0, and when they were built there no plans had been made for a Hard Mode. So, to create Hard Mode versions of these dungeons would require building up a new dungeon practically from scratch.

Haukke Manor, all they needed to do was open up the East Wing and block off the West, and toss in some monsters. Aurum Vale, they'd need to build a new dungeon from the ground up. It would be as resource intensive to do as creating new dungeons (Pharos Sirius, Snowcloak, etc) would be. Does this mean they will never do it? I'm sure it's a possibility, but if they did that would likely wind up being the "new" dungeon for that update.

I see, thanks for clarifying. Would be nice (and funny) to see a screenie or a video of that party and what they say XD
