For this release we adjusted some non-boss creatures to have higher health along with increased arti

Hmm, @DarkStarr , @Chris , Can you explain a bit what is between the lines. Did you give them extra HP , did you increase their resistance as well. Did you have an oops moment and overdo it?

Noticed on Crags it takes twice as long to kill humanoids especially skeletons. Maybe you can take a look at the coding to ensure you did not go "High and to the right" with the adjustment. R/Boris/El Pirata.

 

Its a bit irritating that combat changes rarely make it into the patch notes. I would like to see the full list of combat changes in the release notes. It is need to know info

 

Agreed. Their patch notes are almost as incomplete as their tooltips.

 

That's not true. The patch notes may be incomplete, but they are rarely wrong.

 

Meanwhile we have skeleton archers that look like armored vehicles with howitzers.

 

Do they still give the same amount of XP or do they also give less XP (like in the rise)?

 

They still either give same or a bit more xp but it takes me 3 times as long to kill them unless running full zerker then twice as long. zerker is a two edged sword there now when you have four or more skellis blasting away. Before this "Adjustment" the skel archers and mages where two shotted now it takes 6 hits. Seems Coup is used very often by us swordsmen.

 

Sounds like to me since they doubled our XP (No more Double XP weekends)Permanently they are doubling the kill rate time on some mobs in different locations. Just when we thought we was getting ahead.... now this

 

@Boris Mondragon it seems nearly every mob has 30-40% more hit points

 

More hit points and twice as annoying.

 

Ameresta; If it was double the hit points alone it would not be a big deal but it also seems they doubled the resistance at least to melee so it ends up being more than if it was just double HP. R/Boris/El Pirata

 

And how long has it been since our official "release" ?

 

I always loved Ravensmoor in Hidden Vale and now it is an 8 or 8+ tier which is probably in itself ok but the second you get into the scene there are Archers are and mages bombarding you to kill you. So hmmm no second to get organized but immediately you are being shot at from all directions. Just wishing for something a little different in this game than a ton of archers and mages shooting at you the minute you enter the scene. There is no variety in that difficulty. Perhaps the mobs have some something to say like "what are you doing here and allow you some strategy to take them down. There is no place to hide from those archers and flame wielding mages meeting you at the entrance. At least put them in the scene a bit further as they used to be at least a few steps further. Well the team is hopefully getting some rest this weekend from giving us another release to look forward to and they will get some feedback on their return tomorrow.

Edited feedback

edited typos. Was on my phone

 

It was a confluence of things that added up for me this release that frustrated me :/

This was another thing -- death by a thousand cuts.

 

You mean like the Obsidian Bears thing where we all ran around while they were insisting the bears were in the game ? Mmmm hmm.

It's just a little bit more problem things that I think there should be atm that is all. Obviously there's gonna be some issues, but I'm feeling an uptick in changes that are negative over the last 2 releases.

 

I did say rarely, not never.

 

Actually, that post was a mistake. The first part about "...some mobs..." was part of a draft from a previous post I never made which the forum saved. I didn't notice the text was in there when I quoted/posted my response to Lord Trady. It had nothing to do with the rest of the post.

 

@Cora Cuz'avich : This entire thread was to bring up to the Dev's attention that "Maybe" they possibly did far more than double the "some mobs" hit points and have not realized just how far they buffed the affected mobs. Now lets see if they reply, lock or delete this thread and look the other way or something in between like maybe a patch to fix anything that might have went wrong in the changes they made. R/Boris/El Pirata.

 

This is the 1st time in any game that I had the thought that this is so bad they need to do a roll back or revert.
