Thread: Patch 3.26 Discussion

It seems people fail to see the big picture there. The dev team has plans for when people clear raid encounters and how many people clear it.
they design the raids and expect the top tier raiders to finish it in a certain time with a particular ilvl. And they do the same for midcore raiders. They now what ilvl most raiders are now and they said themselves that the damage going on was higher than expected.

If you cleared it before the nerfs or were close to clear it, congratulations, you are a top tier raider or at least in the above average of midcore raiders. The dev team just ended saying that you are above the average that they were expecting.

My static team was progressing in A6S and we can see the progress we make every time we raid. for us, these nerfs just mean we will move on to A7S sooner than what we anticipated, no big deal.

If you legitimately feel these emotions because of a video game, you need to take a step back and stop taking video games so seriously. Cause you know... video game. It's not a thing that you should base your self worth over. That's not directed specifically at you either.

Who said anything about basing myself on a video game? Do you ever get emotional in movies, or while reading a good story or such, playing sports? This is no different. I'm just pissed off because a goal I was about to reach was taken away from me. I think it's totally fine to feel emotional about things that you find fun/important for you. What is wrong with taking things seriously? That's like, your opinion man.

Really SE? Why nerf A6S?
My group was almost done with it and we didn't need any help. Now it's a bit frustrating. Nothing to be proud of once we'll take it down.

i know it's beating a dead horse, and SE won't change it, but...it would be great if you stopped nerfing content.
people who are yet to challenge A6S, will never ever again, be able to challenge themselves against the intended difficulty.
after you're done nerfing alex savage, why not just change savage into normal, since it wont be any challenge, anymore, and bring back savage to its original difficulty?
even after this raid season is over, and new raids come, this content will be pointless - there will be better gear available, that is easier to get - even dungeon gear will be better, soon.
the only point of savage, is the challenge and rewards for overcoming the challenges, so why the nerfs? why have savage difficulty at all, if it's not savage? just rename it to hard, cause it's not worse than that.

Why would the "elites" have reason to cry over this?

Have you even been reading the rest of this thread?

There's already enough tears in it for a luxurious bath.

Curious to know if this was even requested by players inside the game and on the forums. While I don't do Savage raids, I would assume all of these changes actually does change the dynamics of the fight and may cheapen it.

While it might be the second turn of Savage, some people liked the fact that the difficulty was there to climb. You should be climbing the raid like a staircase where each step requires a bit more energy out of you than the previous one. Excessive nerfs, if not needed, tends to cheapen the experience a lot.

I recall in the live letter, they said something about looking at this and effecting changes. From what I can see on here, it seems rather excessive.

Sorry for those who wanted the fight at its purest level. Feel for you. But I guess S-E's analytics suggested it was too hard.

Pretty disappointed bout A6s nerf, it's not like we have much hard raid content... and savage was/is for ppl who were in search of a challenge (i guess thats why theres also a story mode?), so why nerf it

I dont get it but guess they want it more casual friendly

I reckon it wasn't - unlike with A3S, I didn't see many complaints.

That said, SE likely looked at the clear rates, saw something that alarmed them and decided to be a bit quicker to act on it than with A3S this time.

Got any specific posts to quote? I've seen some disappointment, but not necessarily for "elitist" reasons.
