Went into the Deadmines for the second time tonight, this time completing it and getting Van Cleef's head. What an experience. The Deadmines shits on any other MMO dungeon i've had the pleasure of venturing into. And to think that there are more spectacular ones awaiting is extremely exciting.
When I first saw Van Cleef's ship, i was in complete eff'ing awe.

The only thing that soured the experience somewhat was the pickup Paladin of the group (3 of us were from my guild) rolled and won the Defias Blackened Tunic or somesuch. That pissed off the entire group because it's bind on pickup. The Paladin isn't going to wear it, and he can't unload it in the auction house, so it ends up being sold to a merchant for 14s. Pathetic. His excuse? Oh I didn't know I was rolling on it, i meant to pass.
Maybe you wouldn't have made that mistake if you hadn't looted VC WHILE WE WERE STILL FIGHTING HIS GUARDS... sorry for the vent folks.
Char update!
