Thread: patch 2.2 turn 1-5 easier.....

SIMPLE!

Why is that hard to understand that is a great idea!?

That's basically what they do in WoW right now. I'd mainly be afraid of them doing it with active content because it has a lot of potential to kill applicant pools for raiders. In the end doing two modes wouldn't be hugely different and I guess people wouldn't be able to get their Allagan vanity gear quite as easily. Though it seems like a lot of work to maintain the integrity of vanity gear, which will be easier to obtain once someone marches in there wearing ilvl 100. Now if this hardmode ilvl synced people (assuming that works out properly) actually it's sort of perfect. Though this raises a odd question of whether Turn 2 should be fixed or not for Duty Finder, to have the same raiding experience everyone else has had, the enrage strat should remain.

You'd still have a big ilvl gap and the DF BC1-5 would barely be run since it will be dropping presumably nothing and the HM version would only be run for vanity. I guess you could rework that DF BC to drop the Myth gear then it might be enough incentive. Though this is all under the assumption that the nerfs are going to be very overt, and I don't know if locking people out of turns 6-9 by requiring them to do 1-5 is such a good idea.

Eh look, it's the first tier of content in a game and it's traditionally easy. If you want recognition your FC should farm out 8 of those black unicorns before the coming ilvl upgrade makes those fights easier or be the first people to down Turn 9 in the world. It's just you know, simply clearing content doesn't come with the recognition it used to.
