Huge hp mobs, necro friendly single mob group parses /swoon ;D

Really tho I think the best part of tds is the dedicated zone vs power source drop. I really think they should move back to that idea.

Overall, I didn't really care that much for TDS as an expansion, but it had some decent things in it.

- Ornaments were all nice, both the armor and vanquisher ornaments and also the beta tricorne hat reward
- Thuliasaur Island was good all-around
- I liked Brother's Island... sort of right in the middle of things with boat connections
- Artwork was great, although the landscape provided for some terrible pathing
- Racing between events in Arx
- Raids were fun
- Rare drop clickies off named in Katta and Tempest Temple

The floating Tyrannosaurus illusion was probably the coolest thing.

A good story, and an antoganist that we really wanted to kick.

The story of TDS was a bit melancholy for EQ, but also well written on the scale of EQ stories. Telling the story through enforced-pace dialogue was a bold choice, I think that'd be good to revisit with a bit of tweaking.

Thuliasaur could have been its own expansion there was so much going on.

I still click my dino illusion for all the victory pictures on the guild website :)

Two words FIRIONA VIE... lol just the overall Lore.. and how it continued from the last expans before hand... the parot quest line and how zones were locked under progression the push was good to see people actually having to progress rather then zerg end zones gearing up!! and of course the TriCorne HAT

TDS! Lol The whole underwater thing in some zones! I actually like battling underwater. Collectible hunting! Hunting named for the augmentation drops. Quest lines were fun. Many deaths. Good times.

Never stepping foot in anything beyond the first two zones and Arx Mentis for raids!

Dino Island was the best part of this expansion. Having competing factions in proximity and the parrot aug quest line was actually fun enough that I did it more than once. Locked zones behind progression makes it really rough on returning players or anyone who misses the first two months, really.

My first named was the parrot on Brother Island. The most intense fight was the see invis undead ghost wanderer - fought her at the top of a hill, was scared out of my wits that a wanderer would jump me. Was stoked to come out on top and landed the AC aug! Still on the fence about working on progression...would like to get more bags from Hunter achievement, but not thrilled about fighting in water in the Cavern...

I did the skeletal parrot a few days ago and it was the best part of the expansion so far for me :)

This was one of the most fun expansions for me, because I did it with five other people and we were first in out whole guild. There were a lot of sleepless nights, but it was worth it. The zone graphics were really pretty.

I completely missed this expansion when it came out but after having gone back, I liked that they revamped the power sources.
