So we have Underworld, glorious domain of Grenth. check.
We have the Fissure of Woe, domain of the brave souls of Balthasar. check.

what happend to the other 3 gods?
Why doesn't Dwayna have a map? Or Melandru or Lyssa? Surely they deserve a map also, they aren't lesser.

Offcourse linking this to favor of gods would cause an ever greater reliance on HoH combattants of your continent. Which would screw Europe once more.
therefor i'm proposing a twist:

these 3 remaining maps are accessible by the worldparts that DON'T have the favor. 1 of the maps only, not 2 or 3. It still has to be stimulated to WIN in HoH. Which map it would be, can change randomly on the hour.

It may sound silly, but would you say about this?

Making 3 other parts of the underworld accessible only when the favor isn't on the continent implies that these zones wouldn't be as good as the 2 first (why would people go in the HoH if not?) so i don't really like the idea. The absence of these areas is probably temporary, they'll be patched on someday.

I personally believe that the new zones in the summer update will be the vacant statues in ToA.

In one of the fansite friday interviews, it was mentioned that lower level players may also have access to new features.
Maybe that's why there is statues in sardelac and serenity temple too?!

Just a thought.

Clever, but obviously flawed. Why punish Korea and America for having too much favour? That just doesn't make any sense. Especially if these three new areas will each have a unique material drop (such as ecto in UW and shards in FoW).

I'd say, let them come with the expansion and make them work just like UW and FoW. Europe not winning the favour all that much is definitely not entirely due to its players. Just think of all the people moving to American servers to "get more favour"; until the day those servers will be saturated and will stop working. But that's a different topic altogether.

We already have Sorrow's Furnace to look forward to. If I'm not mistaken, you won't need favour to access that.

Tactical>> cuase the one in sanitarium has a quest. so does the one in druids outlook.

Plus there are currently 4 statues that you can get to the UW/FoW from. 2 in the ToA. a Grenth statue in the big temple in southern Lormars pass. a Balthazar staute in the south west corner of the falls, again in a big temple.

Plus they have already hinted that we may be gaining faction for differnt gods for different things. it makes sense that other arenas for the other gods would open up. but it also gives longevity to the game if they come out later. i mean think of it if we had all 5 right now it would be old hat in a year or so. but stagger them out and when FoW and UW are feeling old a realm for Lyssa is released full of illusion, misdirection and chaos and the crawls seem like fun again.
