Is anyone else really disappointed with the nerfs coming in 2.2?

[Ronyx]

Im not dissappointed.

Also, I had to edit my 2,600 character OP to 1k so I am sure I lost a lot in the cut ><;;

Faedden worded it really well. It's not necessarily that they're nerfing, it's that they're doing it 6 months after release. I also like to redo old stuff. Primal hard modes I still enjoy from time to time. But by making primals ridiculously easy it takes away from the fun of it. I mean, do you get a lot of excitement out of doing stuff that you can do totally on autopilot, I don't, why do it?

XI wasn't nerfed at all until a few years down the road. Even Wow waited until Burning Crusade to start nerfing stuff and they're notorious for catering to the casual.

edit your posts and you can type unlimited characters.

It's really simple, hardcore players equal maybe 5% of the game population so you get 5% of the game context, truly you sound like an elitist complaining like this.

Vespar, did you see the changes to AK? That's a nerf. The Coil stuff is not a direct nerf, and not specifically what I am speaking to.

Many FATES are being scaled down (coz FATES are hard, right?...).

Every boss in AK is getting nerfed - not echo, direct nerf.

Pharos is being nerfed - although as above I am not totally against this move.

On the subject of Echo I can see why it could be considered in some content, specifically Coil 1-5. I don't see why you would put it in Extremes. I mean, Extremes are supposed to be, well, extreme. Just leave them be. People will either rise to the occasion or they won't.

Going back to what Faedden said though, it's not so much that they're nerfing content, it's that they're doing it before even 1 year, before 1st xpac, heck, extremes have been out THREE months...

Thanks Musashidon I didn't know that

And I'm not elitist, I'm not saying "man you can't beat X, you suck". I'm just asking that they leave challenging content in game for longer than 3 months, maybe even a whole year, before making it easier either directly or indirectly.

So what you're really asking is:

"If they nerf 2.1 content how will people know I'm better than them?"

To which I respond:

"Why would they care if you are?"

Cookie for this!

That's not what I am asking at all.

I am asking why they change content 3 months after putting it in game.

This isn't about epeens, it's about genuinely enjoying a challenge and seeing many friends sadly leave the game because there's nothing that pushes them or forces them to think.

Currently there is still some fun to be had going back and doing HM primals. It's a good time and something I enjoy, but why would you indirectly nerf extremes 3 months in?

Why would you nerf AK? Is it really THAT hard that they have to nerf every boss? Is AK really that big of a problem?

i wouldnt consider myself hardcore but kind of in between casual and hardcore. i dont like the idea of making any content easier. i think its strange any companies do this at all. keep all original content at its same difficulty but if you want to add different content that's easier, i would think thats best imo.
