Cata drops alot of money spells all of the time. Its experience rate is not that bad. The names drop ancients too and are a good source of valuable 65 spells (vessel/pot4). It has alot of quest drops and it has a relic dropper with some ridiculous things.
Should fix eldenals.

yah but i mean thats THE ONLY thing its good for. money spells. the gear on all the nameds is shit except for the end boss that tier 10 guilds have perma camped and the ring from jontraan. I'm just thinking back to the days when people fought over Catacombs cause it was the best exp, loot, spells etc around. just a +1 on gear that drops there i think like Cmal 3.0 got would make it a much more favorable zone

i still enjoy cata i go there every now and again. but i ONLY go there cause i like ass raping undead things.
I know this is gonna annoy some of you, but I've been in on at least 4 or 5 Tarlisha kills in the past 3 or 4 months and none of them were kills where we knew the timer. Guessing you guys are just having shitty luck (or more likely coincidental good luck on my part I guess...)

Yeah I found her up randomly and we did her, then died cause people are bad and were afk or something. Only time I've seen her up tho and a few other people knew about her too. Anyways the loot from the previous bosses could use some working out, its a much harder zone than Cmal and the rewards aren't nearly as good.

Drops could use love, some bosses are almost perma-up, because the loot isn't worth it. (Like Darkweaver Queen, for example.)
The Zone itself is awesome and fun, just seems you can't get people to go there without a quest mob being up. Very rare a xp group just wanders in.

cata is a fun zone but it has the same problem of almost all exp zones that are not rust or citadel you can beat the respawn on everything in the zone and have to sit and wait for respawns up to 15 minutes or more. I would definitely go exp in almost all the old world zones if this problem didn't exist but that's prety much why i sit in cita all day erry day.

Tier10 guilds do not have her permacamped. I haven't killed her since I've been busy in the last 3 weeks, but before that I was getting her once a month or so and wasn't even pursuing her too hard.

nerfing the zem will make us go elsewhere though
right??
ok sorry ill attempt to be constructive. cata is one of a handful of zones (EC, hhk, possibly FG and mielc) that i wish were still viable places to go. i feel like adjusting the respawn time in these zones, say from 30 min to 20 min wouldn't hurt lower tier people, and would make it viable again for higher tier groups. upping the cash drop in cata as well would make it a premier claim once again, sort of like cmal has become post-revamp.

I don't know man, I actually seem to get stuck there or FR in like 75% of the groups I end up in. and the non-Tarlisha bosses SEEM perma-up because they're not on her same spawn timer. I've never confirmed but I think they're on something crazy like an 8 or 10 hour timer. More than likely if you saw them up and saw them up again the next time they very well might've been killed in between. If the loot was changed on them at all, which I wouldn't be against since it competes much harder with a ton of droppable stuff now, the respawn timer on them would have to be lengthened accordingly I'd think. I do agree about the being able to clear it all before repops, but these zones don't have to grow with all of us. I'd think what could use a look would be how to get the newer players that seem stuck in the typical EWs and Elds to try it out. It seems like the same players that were in it 2 years ago are the same ones that pop in still, and from the responses in this thread, a lot of us seem to have outgrown it.

I only go in there when im bored and looking for Tarlisha to kill. Or if i have Noob's that need the gear
I 100% agree with this. just give it Cmal named timers and trash kept the same. ( if gear was bumped up)
Most of the newbs i've taken to Catacombs (65) have never even heard of cata cause nobody is /ooc'ing for Catacombs grps anymore. to make above mentioned suggestion^ a more favorable or noticable increase the % of chance that the named crypt guy spawns.... i Think i've seen him spawn maybe 3 times in 3 years.

Well in the spawn, and its PHs defense for getting the Cata key, most people I have seen in Elds don't kill it. Many times in the last two months I have been in Elds getting medals for newer chars Athica neck, and notice the PH is up for hours with the group killing "the whole zone".
