So how did they make the mobs "Harder"?

Silver

LOL they didn't make them harder.
GG SOE.

Only thing I noticed were more HP on a couple and one or two minor tweaks, still 100x easier than EH still FUBAR in terms of progression.

Aere

oo did they give the blood collossus (collossi?) more hp?

their hp is kinda gimp.

blood collossus so basicly 5mill hp on these assholes now?....great IMPROVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pheelin

the blood collossus is just a retarded fight, make it do something interesting instead of just have tons of hps.

Grevious

Well that is their point behind mobs like these. Hope either A) you get complacent and slack on heals and whatnot and die or B) Get so bored you just give up LOL

Really is no point to this its very annoying shit pumping out 22-25k dps on the groups of 2 and still taking 3min 30secs to 4 min 30 secs to drop just retarded.

its fucked up when our Inq drops verdict on one like its a boss mob and we cheer when it dies, only to have the second one in the encounter still be at 85%- 95%

I agree that these are even more annoying now than they were before (if that's possible).

The only thing I would say is that the changes also affect the guilds that can't put out 20k+ dps and it will make these mobs quite difficult in terms of power management for those guilds. They will have to work and improve to beat them, so it's another way of slowing the flow of items to pickup/casual raids which is what many raiders asked for.

As always with SoE, it's a case of 'be careful what you wish for', because you might just get it, and not in the way you wanted.

I would guess many of you thought the same as our guild when the 'difficulty' changes were announced - that they will pump up HP and maybe aoe damage. It's the fastest solution with the least scripting / coding and testing required. We don't like it that much but it was to be expected.

Pro.

These mobs don't drop loot, so there is no incentive not to yell the encounter, so power management is and never was an issue.
