What happened? Was there another nerf?

[Nite_Prowler]

For some reason, unbeknownst to me, it appears that all of my characters (melee and casters) have been nerfed, or the gameplay difficulty has increased significantly.

I've gone looking for a reason for this, but I can't find anything anywhere on the forums about it.

Gonna need some more details to try to be helpful.

Nerfed since when?

Do you have specific examples to drill into?

Are you playing on Reaper? Maybe you're doing more skulls than you're used to.

Nerfed since when?

Something changed during this last week

Do you have specific examples to drill into?

Other than mobs being far tougher than they were, no not really.

I was with a bunch of guildmates running some quests that we've run before, but we had a MUCH harder time finishing the quest. Bosses seemed tougher, mobs seemed tougher. Everything was far harder to kill than last week

Are you playing on Reaper?

Nope, I rarely play Reaper.

Im not the only one who noticed this. Both my guildmates were aware of things being FAR tougher than they were.

I even took one of my toughest melee toons out to test my idea, and he had trouble finishing a quest that he'd blasted through just last week.

Something has been changed in the game dynamics somehow.

Diiiid you maybe accidentally run it on Epic instead of Heroic?

To answer your question directly - no, nothing has changed systemically. Or else everyone would be talking about it

[Bjond]

You'll need to be VERY specific. What exact level? What exact difficulty? What type of character (melee, ranged, caster)? What quests?

BTW, nothing has changed and I haven't noticed anything much different playing R4'ish in Epics while leveling and R1 in Heroics. However, I have noticed that "wing lag" (via EA Core-3) has been horrendous lately. Leaping in combat yanks the character back and forth 3 or 4 times before settling. Using wings just to speed up outside combat is a less of an issue.

It could be there's some network problems that are much worse on your path than on others. That can make things harder for you by a fair bit.

As everyone else said, gonna need specifics, what were the quests/levels? Did damage numbers look lower? Ect. To throw my own data into the sample size I've been running some R1 mid-level heroics (7-14) for the past few days and everything feels like its performing as it should.

No, there was no recent nerf. There must be another explanation.

The only reasonable things I can think of are:
* Non consistent party set up and this time around no Nuker in the party
* Accidental swap of an item

Or too much alcohol

Also newer quests are usually harder than old quests on the same level.

finally noticing the lag hua....

OP has my usual reaction any time i play on heroic till lvl 15 and then... you go to sharn to find out that mobs are harder to kill and quest, in general,
are tougher than the others at same level.

That is why we ask you to play casual or normal mode. Your characters cannot handle hard, elite or reaper modes.
