    Very cool, considering I never finished the quest for DH because I couldn't stand the mechanics of training everything through the instance. I hope we can see future instances released with both 4 and 8 person party configurations supported. Let's just hope that they are rebalancing the fights in DH (especially Ogre) since they seemed like they weren't scaled down at all to accommodate for the abolishment of physical levels.

    Darkhold Ogre is really easy now, you should give it a shot.

    I dont think those were intended gameplay mechanics, just players trying to blast through to beat the time.

    I want to know how they intended it to work for speedrun then... I hate that run thru and train everything technique but am unsure how to do it fast enough for 5th chest any other way...

    Personally I don't mind the idea of making 8 man stuff open to small parties after it has been out for awhile and/or making lite versions of the content for smaller parties. That said, the work needs to = the reward and 8 person rewards should always be > small groups.

    we killed ogre in about 30 seconds the other day with people who have never even done it, on top of that we also kill batraal.
