So yesterday NPCs were like 600% stronger. They went from one shotting players to easily being able to clear RoC in Ashran without deaths. The Ashran mage went from 625M hp then to 99M now.
Was this a stealth change made today? It’s a dramatic difference.
Edit: Oh my bad not a stealth change. Hot fix just earlier today.
That’s a shame Epics will go back to not worth Queing soon. I was hoping Epics would be relevant for once and great PvP. Guess that was asking for too much.
I feel like you don’t like PvP.
Bingo best PvP ever. Real shame it was tuned maybe we can get them to reverse it.
Blizzard seems to prefer you keep it simple in PvP—just hit a few buttons and go. I suppose that’s what happens when players who don’t quite master the craft make the loudest noise.
I read that they’re scaled to item level, not sure of the specifics but mob health’s an algorithm not an assignment. Matches are supposed to last 30-45 minutes.
I agree at first some of the npcs were abit much in damage but the massive hp/damage actually made it feel more engaging than just running past them as like nothing ever happened, before the nerf they put pressure on any player isnt a tank to actually route around them or get few players to kill them and the lead boss npcs dont just die in like 20-40 secs of being engaged by players which gave the opposing side a chance at defending
We played 2 matches today and had to stop. Epic is completely different after the nerf, not only it’s boring now, people lost hope quickly and started afk again after a wipe knowing their boss and npc won’t hold up long enough for them to fight back.
We asked a few participated in the matches, hardly any enjoy this nerf change!
Very sad with this nerf, especially after the experience of the past few days. I havn’t had this much fun in epics for years!
yea we haven’t even really been queing much most people are more interested in leveling alts, professions and so on. Season 1 is only about 11 days out so that’s gonna be nice to be able to do rated content again. I don’t see the epic bg climate changing, the appeal isn’t even there really with ally ques being 30 min+.
