What do you think of the new cave pois?

I found one about 50 yards behind my base. It was just a linear circle going down into the ground with a dead tree at the bottom and a bunch of Z's along the way. A buzzard showed up but it couldn't figure out how to get to me and flew away. I hated to see that cuz I wanted the feathers.

It was different and fun. Enjoy them for the most part except I always get lost at some point and I hate getting lost. But I figure it out.
 
It does have the name, I recognize it from the description, but I don't remember what it is.

They're...fine. Nothing like the old caves, of course, but fine.

Ya back when I played LoTRO I did Moria to advance the story and seldom if ever went back, mainly if a guild mate needed an escort.

Had to look that one up and it mentioned spiders so no thank you. That would have definitely been a one and done for me. Hats off for helping others.

For whatever reason developers everywhere like the spider mechanics BS. I mean look at the "spider zombie" , I think all the graphix/mechanic design guys must go through "How to design a spider 101" course. Think it might be a disease actually.
 
I like them. They remind me of the good old random caves you could find in earlier versions (can´t remember when they were removed, A12? A11?). Those weren´t POI´s though. They had nitrate stalagmites/tites and maybe a bit of trash. It was always a gamble where to build your base not knowing what is beneath you. Was fun.
 
I found a bunker that was pretty cool, took a couple minutes to figure out about the color coded buttons to push to unlock the door, it was called duck something, then found a cave that had a bunch of holes at the top and was able to sneak attack most of the zombies on the way down to the bottom, that was pretty fun. Still have yet to try out the new tier 5 POI's like the hybrid mining and so on.
 
I LOVE them. I need moar!

Honestly, it was such a surprise to find them in this release because (at least for me) it wasn't widely advertised that they were working on cave POIs. I know everyone wishes that they could be randomly generated, but this is the next best thing. Honestly might be better because custom-designed caves can tell a story where random gen cannot.
