Turbine developers Torc, Piloto, and Eladrin recently had a discussion with the community about the process of creating epic dungeons. The new "Epic Difficulty" dungeons have been introduced with select adventure packs and allow players to experience new challenges in older content they may have outleveled.

This is great as you level through the game, but we felt more could be done. What if you want something insanely challenging? What happens after you’ve out-leveled that adventure pack you purchased at lower levels?

Epic difficulty accomplishes both of these things, and more!
