**Random pockets of 'sewer fumes' that routinely make the heroes vomit.
**A stench effect that lasts briefly when they leave. On the one hand, "these brave heroes are pursuing evil and injustice even beneath the streets!" On the other hand... "errrrr... here's my cell phone number. Don't come back to me. Unless you've showered first."
**A 'slip n slide' emote for those long downhill stretches so we can go "WHEEEEEEEE" *SMACK* right into a mob.

As a "low level trial", there's no way it can consistently rely on either of those, as characters at that level won't be developed enough.

I don't care what the new sewer trial involves, so long as they name it "Flushed with Pride"!!!!

- It should have trainers sprinkled within so I can level up without leaving

Right?

It shouldn't take longer to find a group for it than it would to outlevel it by streetsweeping.

I can see the sewer trial going something like this...
Defeat X Enemies in Area A (Happens to be enough experience to go from level 1 to 3)
Talk to This Guy (Happens to be a trainer)...Door opens to next area
Defeat Y Enemies in Area B (Happens to be enough experience to go from level 3 to 4)
Talk to That Guy (Happens to be a trainer)...Door opens to next area
etc...'till the player reaches level 8

This. I haven't been following the new LFG system features closely, but hopefully we can make ordinary teams that use the LFG feature, as well as this trial and also TF/SF and the WST.

No no, you make trainers you can summon 1 time that you sell in the store. That will let you make more money from the people who can't be bothered to leave. |

Maybe BAB will follow teams around in the Trial asking them if they need training, as his normal spot's been smashed by the Shivans?

I think the "Invisible Hobo" archetype popularized by HEROES would be a perfect trainer for the Sewers...

I think the two items above are the most important things for the new Sewer Trial.

OK, wishlist.
A zombie-walk emote so we can emulate the cadavers.
+1 for calling it "Flushed with Pride"
+1 for using the LFG system
+1 for some reward (other than the standard XP, Inf, and mob drops).
Oh, and +1 for the slip&slide emote

Bah, Posi? you can't be bothered to smack Rikti right in front of you during invasion events, how could we ever expect Valkerie to soil her armor in the sewers to train us up?

Only problem is which self-respecting hero trainer(s) is willing enough to permanently set camp in the sewers for the purpose of levelling up other heroes.|

My humble requests:
- The trial should be for 1 group
- It should not rest solely on a 'Tank and Spank' or 'Holy Trinity' fight.
- It *should* use the LFG Queuing system.
- It should somehow reward players for completing it as a non-level 50
- It should reward intelligence and communication
- It should actively punish those who don't pay attention or don't communicate. (I really like Duray's Air Support Arrows of Death.)
- It should not, however, inflict random death, nor rely on 'Zerg rushing' the AV.
- The trial should be for 1 group
