Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

Redundant. This is true whenever they work.

I posted about this back when U28 dropped.  GoP on EE was a bloodbath.  Everyone in the party died 5-6 times.  They definitely upped the mob damage in there.  champions were hitting for 1100.

Solution A: Tanks become a thing again. (lol)
Solution B: Lots of PRR, self heals, and res scrolls
Solution C: MOAR KITING
Solution D: Don't run Necro IV. New stuff will be better soon.
Solution E: Just wait. They'll break it or nerf it soon enough.


Least likely outcome: Solution A.

Does Solution E account for the two more Levels that are going to be added to the game?

Because Epic Elite Orchard isn't meant for Lvl 28 Characters anyway...It's meant for Lvl 30 Characters!

The fact that many players have been able to run it on EE at Lvl 28 {Indeed at Lvl 20!} is perhaps the single main reason why there's been so many complaints about the game being too easy.
So don't complain about it being too hard now - Wait for the Lvl Cap increase and see how it feels when you've got a fully maxed out Lvl 30 Character!
  

Main Characters by Server - Cannith Jelina, Sylveria, Enochpagett, Lieuk, Larystessian, Molineux. Sarlona Keltenn, Franq, Athiina, Nyszsa, Curleag, Nalpheyn. Khyber Tynecastle, Athenion, Argo Clievelund, Bjorkalina, G-Land Hassannavid, Tannadice.

A isn't that uncommon.  The rise of Pallys in DPS has created natural tanks.  You can be a decent tank without  having to sacrifice DPS.

B this isn't enough.  When they are hitting for 500 (non-crit) after PRR on a toon with 100-150 PRR and champs are hitting for twice that (non-crit) (and they can bypass enough fort to get crits on toons with 130-160% fort), only tanks and the traditional self healers (divines, pale masters, and robot casters) can stand up to more than two hits.  And the cool down on cocoon isn't short enough. 

C should be changed to MOAR tactics.  Stop aggro-ing more mobs than necessary.  Actually use some crowd control.  Concentrate damage on the same mob to eliminate them more quickly.  Maybe talk to your party members about how to approach a fight.  Novel concepts, all of them.  This is actually what we did in the GoP run.  80% of the deaths came in the before the brothers died.  After that we stopped trying to steamroll it and started to actually play with focus. 

D Honestly, Necro IV is the content least necessary to run on EE, unless you want the mythic versions of gear or 1 time for favor/bravery bonus.  I suspect folks with either only run it once per life or just pause their streak and EH it.

E - Can't argue with that.

It's great that they're making quests harder, but they need to do this in a transparent and systematic way.  What they're doing now is just hit or miss.  Also, what happened to reaper difficulty?

Agree.

And since we're so used to NOT having to play in a coordinated manner, the transition will be rough.

What's with the horror stories ?

Haven't done Necro for a while ( why would you, tomes don't drop, xp sucks, loot you had for a year ) went to try oh so terrible changes.

Lol still easy solo Flesh and Vol on pally and my caster fvs, monkcher is in heroics, but don't see any change except being more careful.
Ddo must have the most whiny playerbase ever.
Still probably the only mmorpg in the galaxy where THE HIGHEST difficulty is default. And "endgame" quests take 20 mins on the first try.

Try to solo GoP on EE and then come back to us.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

Heroics? This thread is about EE.  Also, nobody is talking about soloing.

I have.  Elite is affected less than Casual/Norm/Hard.  That doesn't mean dungeon scaling doesn't exist in EE.  Raids are the only content not affected by scaling.  As others have said: Try it (an actual EE run in a group) and see if it is different than before.  Also, if you haven't run it in over a year, then maybe you don't have a good frame of reference.

Also, nobody said it was unable to be completed.  Just that the damage the mobs are doing is ramped up significantly.

This, we did complete the chain with a few deaths not a big deal.

The problems are trash mobs 1 shotting ppl and not raising the fucking drop rate or xp for this shit.

Not everybody play just fucking shurishits or warlocks.

As I was having a fairly rough time in Necro4 recently on my (I thought) reasonably powerful Pal, I thought back to my poor Monks and others and how much of a harder time they'd have in there. It feels more out of whack now than before they started these passes. The spike at some boss fights is stupid if you get a couple of champion adds. Piss-poor player experience design.

Sorry for Engrish fail guys.
What I meant is it was still easy for capped pally and fvs.
I would try the changes on monkcher but the character is still in heroics.
Overall monkcher feels bit weaker than pally especially prr wise but ranged makes up for that - so I don't see the quests being a problem on ranged toon either.

I'd expect at least on Vault that people would have EE in mind when they talk difficulties, solos or builds.

Von is a joke even on EE for any build.

i would love to see it a bit harder but i don't even dare to ask something like that because the monkeys don't know their own fucking game.

Thats the problem you can't expect anything good coming for those stupid guys.

And why the heck they don't do those changes in the "test" server so the sadists can have fun while the rest of us can actually play the game?
