I am not entirely sure what Wind Lash or Dissipation Blast are since I mostly play a DPS and I understand the things I need to be concerned about.
    I can understand the frustration of bugs being present, but perhaps they are more complicated than getting other parts of the encounter the way they wanted.

    I say 'balancing' because they are the ones who decide how they want the content to be and they are the ones with the data to decide if what they did was right or wrong and make those adjustments. Just because people have or can complete something the way it is initially released doesn't mean that's the way they wanted it to be.

    Getting angry about that is kinda meh. Even if the only reason is so that more people can defeat this content, they are the ones who design for a playerbase. It's not smart to cater to 1% of their revenue. They seem to do a good job balancing the content they release for everyone, so I trust their decisions.

    This is after all the intro tier and with the small class buffs every patch and by nerfing all the dps/skill checks this will soon become the new gsb/ros aka the pug-tier.
    I disagree with you Kitty.

    And for this, I shall agree upon. I forgot that unlike Blizzard, they don't like players to skip tiers of content.

    If they really felt this way, why does the gear you can get from not raiding go up each time a tier is released? It was explained to me that's how it worked in the original game. I don't expect it's going to be any different in SL, but it could be.

    They wouldn't have offered infernal marks from Experts if they didn't want individuals skipping tiers.

    Quit that hardcore/casual or bad/good player shit on me. I understand why Trion needs to balance but there are times when shit isn't needed at a time like this. Two months into SL and a lot of guilds are making progression on Crucia. My guild was among them and there is no doubt in my mind we were going to beat it this week, but nerfing it now seems stupid. Not to mention they removed a very core mechanic on the final phase. There is a reason why the sub 30% is known as the soft enrage because people start to die, and when they die, people die faster before that nerf. Besides, I know the fight's phases. Those nerfs affect phase 1 (dramatically) and a bit of phase 3 and 4 with people dying. The core wipe mechanics haven't been changed.

    If they really felt this way, why does the gear you can get from not raiding go up each time a tier is released? It was explained to me that's how it worked in the original game. I don't expect it's going to be any different in SL, but it could be.
    Umm what? There were no tier skips. You can get raid tier 1/2/3 tokens from doing random dungeons but you needed to do those dungeons like 50 times to even get a single piece of tier, so it didn't really matter.

    I just realized from needdeeps that Trion doesn't tier skip, which is why I am a little forgiving, and quite honestly, doubt would make a huge affect on us killing the boss this week.

    PS. I am not trying to make this into a huge argument. I disagree with the nerfs and that's that.

    The rate at which you could earn them from experts made it impossible to gear up with more than a few pieces in a reasonable amount of time. The higher quality marks were primarily put in to help speed through the process of gearing through tiers.

    You could skip T1 though if you ended up farming experts throughout T2/3, but that's an absolutely massive time investment compared to the amount of time you needed to spend raiding to get through T1 at the start.

    Stop putting words in my mouth. You said you disagreed and I asked you what you disagreed with. All that was required of you was to answer the question. You still haven't really done that.

    The logical conclusion is that the current state of the encounter doesn't match their design philosophy right now. They are making changes to have the encounter tuned the way they want it. If they decide that they are overtuning encounters and they bring them down, you still have hard modes to look forward to.

    It seems the core of your argument is that you didn't get to feel special and beat it when it was 'broken' in their eyes. This argument has been dismissed (and rightly so) by Blizzard developers for the same reasons. Would you be just as angry if they had just labeled this a bug fix? I would certainly hope not. In that case, you can think of them as the same thing.

    Because that's what this stupid argument feels like. And what question? The 1% question? Jeez man you already know the answer to that stupid question as well.

    I ain't trying to. I saw something that Blizzard would do so thought Trion was becoming like Blizzard. But I forgot that since there are no tier skips, the reasoning for why the nerf is there is justified to me. That's all.

    Guys, chill.

    Yeah it sux they nerfed it just before you guys got a kill I understand that frustration and it is what it is. Next raid tier is around the corner and (hopefully activated hard modes) to challenge your guild team.

    On a more important patch note:

    I hope a crazy robot monster will spawn that is not attackable where we can watch hysterically as cthulu comes out of the deeps to swallow the bots whole. If it's that cool, I will probably hang around the bot hiding spots with smoe popcorn.

    Fair enough. There seems to be a lot of vitriol between this game and that one. While I don't subscribe to it personally, I can totally understand the fear that your game will become just like another in any respect. I understand it much better when said this way.

    I apologize if we weren't speaking to the same things.

    Very upset with the Crucia nerf to Scattering Storms. Had multiple sub 8% wipes last night but just couldn't quite make it. We'd only done 4 nights of progression on her and we definitely would have gotten the kill with another hour or two on her.The other nerfs are irrelevant since the earlier phases are a cakewalk, heck even the last phase is easy it just requires accountability.

    I'm going to feel cheated when we go in and one shot her tonight.

    ---------- Post added 2013-01-31 at 06:15 PM ----------

    Yep, walked in and one shot Crucia in under 7 minutes. They completely eviscerated the fight, didn't feel any sense of achievement upon the kill.

    Well for sure. They removed basically like 6 minutes of the fight with that nerf.

    Damn, seems like they're pushing through a lot of the changes from PTR. Hopefully that means we see actual 2.2 changes on PTR soon : D

    RB changes are great because I love me some RB. Wonder how experts will go now that Chloros are not FOTM overhealing.

    Funny story, they forgot to include the double dip fix for Chloros. So we got our base values buffed, but they didn't fix the bug inflating our numbers. Kervik said it should be fixed tomorrow, but in the meantime everyone go solo heal stuff!

    Certain abilities, in this case proc-based heals are gaining additional benefit from Spellpower, so are much more powerful than intended
