R10's are too easy now!

[Airmaiden]

So, after getting set up with the new ED system, a group and I decided to run some R10's........what a JOKE!

We were on a full run through all the content. Mobs were dropping dead so fast one could barely slow up before the next group of mobs were dead! Enemies have little to no HP and there attacks were hardly hitting for any damage!

This was not a group of UBER toons, just a "rag tag" group that joined a pug group....even pulled a couple lowbies with us....level 23 and 26.

DDO R10's are now "Reaper Casual".....no challenge what so ever!.

Hoping DDO/ Devs change this soon!

Ruining gameplay is the dev's intention.

I've warned about AOEs would ruin the gameplay, but, they buffed AOEs more.

[NemesisAlien]

Please consider the rest of the 99.99%, you trying to nerf things so the rest of us suffer right.

Did you have the same experience with leg sharn and feywild???

[C-Dog]

Yeah, some of my alts (yes, altitis) are far from strong, and "R3" is about their limit - whoof. They breezed through without breaking a sweat, without past lives, without elite gear, and without (m)any Reaper Points to pad them out. Oh - and without a healer - yeah, that bad.

Gotta say, looks like you guys took things a little too far, imo.

sounds like you had a CCer who made everything easy.

Yes. Only thing was with DC's. CC was failing more then before, but still working 85% of the time.

With my caster (necro wizard) i dont feel stronger than u50 in leg content... maybe i am with wrong destinies (using draconic, mage,shiradi) ? cc are working far less than before...


seems easier for melee ranged...

[dogsoldier]

TLDR:
If you go into some of the easiest Epic content, after the mob stat reductions (like Gianthold), on a Capped build that benefits more than was intended due to u51 bugs, you can feel like a champion, destroying everything with ease on R10, while earning less RXP than you would by running Into the Mists on R1.

The content that we tried and found too easy on R10 were SM and Sharn Chain 1-2.

HP on mobs are a joke after U51.

[adamkatt]

Ive never even done r10s...

[Dazednconfused]

Not if you solo

[StormKnight]

Are you saying us average Joes have a period of time to catch up with reaper xp?

[user110000]

I have only 42 reaper points are there any easy r10s where you can get bravery bonus? could do with a little catch up if its possible right now

I agree.
The only playstyle that does not feel more powerful are Dc casters/ CC'er. DC are harder to hit both after U50 and U51.

All I ask is that if you are going to undo the enemy balancing portion of Update 51, please do so quickly so that I do not need to relearn everything twice in three months.

Well it really depends on what quests the original poster ran. R10 runs are usually legendary quests and he pointed out he had lowbies in the group of 23 and 26 which also implies that he was playing a level 30 character and probably running legendary quests. The monsters in legendary quests were not changed in update 51 so if he finds legendary R10's too easy it is not the monsters that need rebalancing but rather the Epic Destinies. He is saying that the new Epic Destinies are too powerful at level 30.

[LightBear]

The only way to tell if r10 is at the spot where both the devs and the players want it to be is after a few hardcore leagues.
If all of a sudden every jack and their grannies are hitting 24M+ reaper points in the first month or so then something obviously is wrong.
But the last seasons we had exactly one group (a trio I guess) who was able to lead the reaper points board and lead by a substantial margin.
You can see that most of the players that went for rxp where able to get to the 10 point mark, then some went on to the 20 point mark.

Anyway, tailoring a game towards that small group that leads the rxp hcl board is not the smartest thing to do.
I mean, if those 20 players can cough up 10 million dollars in revenue each year, by all means, make a game just for them.
For the rest of us, we like to play this game as well.

Edit:
Soooooo, it is going to be possible to crank reaper up to 11 then?

Do keep in mind, you only have the OP word on how easy it is for him.
Not saying it is not easy for him, but there is no way to confirm this.
