- Proposal
- 1) Introduce tokens for Hoth like the other Heroic Instances; primarily from the instance, but also from pre-quest.
2) Allow for purchasable rewards with Hoth Vendor as there was on Live.
3) Institute a Frost Week in December or January like Lava Week, with an additional vendor for assorted Hoth Loot not normally available for purchase and removed cooldown times for the instance.
- Justification
- Currently, Hoth is the least-run instance of all the Heroic Content. This is due to it being seen as high on equipment wear with reward not quite worth the risk. Additionally, the Hoth token gained from the Token Box quest currently has no use whatsoever. Finally, there is little motivation to run it once you have collected the loot you want from the instance; adding tokens that can be used to make purchases off of a vendor makes it worth it to run over and over, like Mustafar Trials.
- Motivation
- Hoth should get some more love! It's a fun, unique instance quite unlike many of the others with a cinematic feel. In its current state, it is probably the least-run of all the "Heroic Instances," and it would be great to see more interest generated for an instance that I'm very excited we now have on the server.
In a world that is cold and unforgiving, one group of heroes could tilt the side of an epic conflict...if people were properly motivated to run the instance.
I'd love to see the re-institution of the vendor from Live, as well as the use of Echo Base Tokens of Heroism that can be used to acquire loot items from the instance.
It would be a fun follow up to the wintry activities of Life Day to have a Frost Week that allows for repeatable runs of this instance!
I'm not proposing changing the difficulty or anything of that nature. I'm hoping, however, to generate more interest in running it by opening the door for greater reward for completing what, on higher difficulties, is punishing to gear (and willpower, in some cases!).
