Overbloated Health Syndrome *(OHS)* in Heavensward!

[Leep]

Ah, I forgot about fates. Updating it with that now! Its because I got to 60 never doing even one. Lol.

Yeah I did maybe 3 myself going through my first 60. :P

I actually like the increased health. Makes fights seem more like a fight rather than something that I just poke and it dies.

I seriously don't think you have ever Neverreaped before. =P

[BreathlessTao]

Couldn't agree more. I know a lot of people were asking for "more" - as in longer fights, harder hitting enemies and harder-to-kill enemies, but yeah making everything a literal HP sponge was just the easy way to that, I guess. And it's really not fun or challenging at all. (And before SE goes off on another wrong path: no, neither more Heavy, nor replacing Heavy with Vulnerability is "more challenging".)

Sadly yea, SE really missed the beat with trying to make the overworld feel threatening/challenging. If you get into a bad scenario, you can still just as easily as before escape by running a few feet away.

Instead of a threatening/challenging overworld, what we got was an overworld filled with monsters with bloated HP, that become a trial in patience as you sit there wacking them. As a DRG 54, I easily pulled two mobs, popped every buff, and was able to take them down. If I had my bird out, wouldn't even need to pop skills if I didn't want to blitz them down.

Honestly, even flight makes the world less threatening, and thankfully, that actually solves the Heavy issue as a lot of us had. We won't have to deal with Heavy in Heavensward zones, thank god, because we can just fly right over the monsters \o/

Now that I'm max level again, monsters are not...well they aren't pushovers but they don't take forever to down.
I think it's fine.

For a moment I thought you were talking about the players. I saw a 20K WAR once I hit 60 and my jaw kind of dropped.

I think I know who that was. If it was a female au ra, yeah the chick is badass.

[Elim]

I've seen at least 10 tanks (in DF) with 20k hp since I hit 60.

In what zones? You need more details.

Reminds me of forming parties in the Dunes in XI to down a Rabbit. Good times.

I think the point is to make the mobs in these new areas more dangerous? I think it's fine, but I wish they were a bit weaker in FATES.

Almost made me shed a tear. I miss those times. 6 ppl to down a lizard that was 'tough' haha

I wouldn't know, I saw my brother take 11 minutes with 30 people to kill a rabbit.

I was off playing much better games at the time. <3
