    Default Why?

    Why is Epic Hard so easy?
    Why is there little difference between Hard and Normal?
    Why is the "to hit" removed from the game? I never miss ranged or melee ever on elite with a level 4 crossbow at level 18 with no enchancements to "to hit"
    Really? Do the players really want a no fail game experience?

    to hit was never removed, it was just adjusted so that the lower end players would suck less
    PS: Greensteel RUINED the game! and you all know it!
    less buffing, more nerfing!!!
    to make it easier for those of you that wants to avoid me in game, all my characters are in "Bladesworn Mercenaries"

    It's only super-easy if you have ground out the best gear in the game and know all of the AI flaws or game-breaking abuse of certain builds.

    There's not. Trap/lock DCs, trap damage, mob damage, mob HP, and the like are all a bit higher. It only seems that way if you are a twinked TR that one-shots nearly everything.

    Technically it's not removed. To-hit was changed from a simple die roll to a comparison of sqrt curves. This was a widely-hated move intended to nerf the 95% miss tanks, but it ended up ensuring everyone nearly always got hit and allowing toons that didn't need to melee the ability to hit everything in the game.

    There are multiple difficulties for a reason.

    If you don't know the reason, maybe you need to hang around the forums more.

    And if you don't like the H/N difficulty, just run Elite, problem solved.

    Also "to hit" is most certainly still in the game. Your lack of understanding about the difference on "to hit" between the L4 and L18 is weapon is particularily funny. Once again, do your research.

    Default A better question:

    Why is there no discernible suggestion or idea in a post in the Suggestions & Ideas forum?


    Pity we don't have a Rhetorical Questions forum, really.

    Because you out-gear it. That's why they gave you Epic Elite. If you find Epic Elite too easy, then be happy that you won an MMO. Something that doesnt normally happen.

    In the Eberron Epics the mobs in Hard have higher saves / DCs and often up to double the HP. Seems to me they got this right. Of course if you have a 70 DC insta kill toon then saves and HP arent really a problem. Have you tried Epic Elite?

    So you get a full hit on a ML 4 crossbow in level 18 elite dungeons? Which dungeons?

    Without knowing the rest of your gear, this really doesnt mean anything. Maybe you'd be better off listing your full +Hits.

    Have you pugged Elite Running with the Devils? Dreaming Dark? If they are too easy, then refer to my comment above about having won an MMO.

    Epic Hard is a challenge for my guild. We dont have any real DPS because we focus on TRing and then just run epics for fragments to buy True Hearts. We tend to pug for DPS for Epic Hard. We are fine with Epic Normals.

    Do you run all Epic Elite content with no fails? Epic Elite CitW?

    If this post is a precursor to you saying you are quitting to find a tough game, can i haz ur stuffz plz kthnx.

    More fitting would be a "my toon could smash your toon" forum.
