There is a set named after Silius, and other names I can 't remember.
On top of that the items don't seem all that great. The items have red names but that's about all that's legendary about them. Just a few stat points better or might reduce your cast time by .000002 seconds or some mess. I stopped paying attention when I saw how pointless it was to spend hours trying to get this stuff. I may be expecting too much from legendary items I guess, *shrug*.
Graphically the place is also damn boring, all the rooms look very similar and is just very drab. I guess they had to reuse as much of the old textures as possible to save time and resources.
Overall I would give APW a grade of B-, it is interesting in spots and not totally a mess, plus I have only killed 4 or so lock out mobs, so that grade is based on my limited experience. I don't feel it is very compelling, and not the type of dungeon I would log in every day to play.

I give you that, the gear is all named after the dev's. That doesnt bother me though. Pretty much all gear in every game has stupid names.
APW the actual zone has been there on release. It just didnt have any raid content inside. There is also 3-4 more other raid dungeons in the game unpopulated.
For the first raid zone, some of the gear is alot better. Its not going to be 200 damage weapons already. lol
You also only did the entrance wing. The Dev's said from the get go that part is going to be fairly gimp and it is. Vicus is the only challenge in the entrance area. Deeper you get inside it gets harder, but for the first raid zone i am not expecting every fight to be like Queen Sendaii, Performer or OMM. Sorry, thats the only pain in the ass raid mobs i really know. Never did the wow thing.
