Too easy pve these days ?

[knighthood]

I remember a time when quests were hard and people feared the grapes, but not anymore.. Taking a look at our guild grp in AC the other night, 1 buffed pally , some random tanks 8sec pbt and a 49 mincer for abs. Darz and Asyveth pulling about 8-10 purple con mobs at once and the grp wiping them out with ease , i mean cmon, and minstrels with buffed sallys ??? <Though fixed in New Frontiers!!> are just stupid .. i remeber needing fg-2fg killing the big nameds in lyn barfog, these days u can wipe em with 2 tanks and buffbott . And the biggest insult of all !! ?
Me and a Sorc Duo'd my minstrel epic without taking a hit last night...

Imo mythic up all the PvE mobs by 50 lvls plz and bring back some of the challenge to old world albion <This doesnt count ToA cos from what ive encountered the vast majority of mobs there kick my ass lol>
:touch:

The PvE beyond lvl 50 is so much worse to get a char rvr rdy

 

[Khale]

Sorcerer, Mincer, Wizzie epic has always been very easy... People just learned how to use their abilities far better then in the old days.

 

[Lumikki]

It's very good that 1-50 PvE is easy since if you want to compete, you have to do a whole different deal of PvE after 50 meaning ToA.

Mythic is making PvE easier all the time to encourage new players, just look at the free level per week system.

 

[TeaSpoon]

The fact that we always used to storm Barfog as about 100 level 30-40 players means that now a group of level 50's knowing what they are doing, can kill things like the Afanc

Must be nice with all those nifty pve toy's..........

well, from mids view.
over a year we have done allmost all epic parts whit duo, usually just for last need 3+, depending epic offcourse.
what i have seen, its boring rutine these days, we all know how to do epics less people as possible.

last winter we was doing some quest mobs in raumarik whit 6 peep in group, and wonder if we could take WoW:s, wretch of winters, most of us stunned how easy it was.
old days we run these mobs thru whit 1 1/2fg and had tough time whit 1 WoW (1 is tougher comparing other 3).

anyway drops what these mobs give is 99% worth crap.

nothing against if they rise mobs lvl/con and same time uprise drops worth.


instead TOA stuff, i am sometimes really pissed when read how easy some artifacts/ml steps are in albs, mainly "minstr go and charm salamander, bott buff it and voila" when if i want same artifact need search high block specced warrior + zerk, maybe pbt, shammy for end reg, healer or 2. simply build opted group.

Interesting, because I get pissed off reading about how such and such a Mid soloed this arti with a "zerk and shambot" or "zerk and bb" or other equally low numbers. Or how the Hibs did it with half the number Albion needs, because they had 2 animists and 8 billion shrooms on the target mob.

As the saying goes, the grass is always greener......

Alarm clock raids sure made ML's and TOUGH artifact mob's alot easier for mid's

i find it annoying too, when i look at VoS and it says "you will need 1fg for this. an animist has soloed"

also annoying when the tips say "its really easy, i just charmed a salamander and buffed it with my cleric!"

though mid is easymode for end regen (though i dont understand how you need that when you are casting shrooms/using sally's! )

[Tareregion]

Animists are overrated.

 

[Ormorof]

Animists are overrated.

so is end regen

 

[Nicci]

... and minstrels with buffed sallys ??? <Though fixed in New Frontiers!!> are just stupid

I just wonder, how are they "fixed"?
Couldn't find any info on that anywhere

 

[Iceflower]

In the good old days when we were leveling our first chars we didnt have buffbots, spellcrafting didnt exist so your resists and stats were rarely capped, we lived on the drops we got then. Furthermore now you got RAs that really boost your chars abilities. So it really isnt feasible to compare pve now and then anymore. The only ones that can relate to our early memories are completely new players as they face the same challenges ingame as we did way back.

My hingemaker is still running around in epic and spindel jewelry, it is quite fun to look at the stats and resists
