Please nerf/adjust one of the new Expert Dungeons (7.0 spoilers)

[genuine_stranger]

If this is the new norm for expert dungeons, it'll be great.

However, I would like for the encounter designers to incorporate tuned down mechanics of the EX trials, which release in the same patch. Not to make them harder, more so to bridge the gap between harder and casual content and ease the casual player base into some deeper battle content if they so desire. With this approach, they could at the very least recognize the mechanics they already solved in the dungeons and possibly don't so anxious about dipping their toes into harder content.

technically it is.
World of Warcraft tried this during the Cataclysm expansion. Dungeons were MEAN a mere 2 expansions prior (TBC era) but one expansion of easymode (Wrath Era) made the community utterly incapable and unwilling to do the dungeons in Cataclysm.

The dungeons were fun with guild groups but absolute hell with randoms. Blizzard had to backpedal hard and nerf stuff. The experiment of "will people rise to the challenge and improve?" utterly failed.

They learned this lesson with HW, I doubt SE will ever go that far again. Where things are going now, how it is currently, is very good. The added challenge adds engagement, and punishment but doesn't go too far. It's fun!

It's 100% fine as is. Stop crying over nothing.

I have no issue with the new difficulty, I enjoy it, but I will agree that this specific fight just feels miserable as a melee due to the zombies hitboxes. More often that not, you'll think you're safe but you actually get grabbed.

Please ignore the request of this thread, thank you.

This, thank you.
As a melee player, I loved this dungeon.

Liturgy of the Bell my beloved, we should have more moments like that last add pull. Better yet, just throw Ferris Wheels at the tank in every dungeon too for good measure.

Threads like this are why we can't have nice things. I don't advocate for turning casual content into hardcore stuff, but don't stress over dying/wiping in new content many of us still don't get to learn. In a couple months you'll see groups clearing it without issue and by then you should have grasped the mechanics.

If you don't want to learn or green it's too stressful then do something else. It's like if I barged in asking for Savage to be nerfed just because I die.

Please at least reduce or fix the amount of stuff going on during the first boss of Strayborough Deadwalk.

I'm fine with the concept behind the fight, but it is one of the most punishing Extreme dungeons in the game. I've been playing melee only, and whether it be someone else gets binded (which on melee is even more punishing) by wack hitboxes or just the amount of visual clutter going on during that fight. The debuff lasting 10 seconds and causing you to not be able to do anything but move is also extremely rough. I think the idea of the mechanic if you get hit should do something but at least make the timer for it 3-4 seconds.

Especially during one of the moments the mascots are running at you and the purple raidwide hits basically blocking your screen potentially walking into another mascot or an aoe dropped by another player. It legit has waaaay too much going on for an Expert dungeon. Between this boss and the second one it felt like a Savage designer got their hands on a normal dungeon and made it into an obstacle course. The third boss is more in line with what I expected despite it being much easier.

I'm all for the challenge, but considering this is something people are going to queue in for the daily, with varied player experience it may lead to fatigue from players just trying to get a daily done. Alexandria and Tender Valley are great middle grounds for fast and fun fights with just enough going on, which I hope we get more of going forward.

No thanks, it's a hilariously fun dungeon. Stop asking for stuff to be nerfed. This game is already too easy. This was such a good dungeon, especially the last boss.

The same people complaining that healers are too easy are also complaining that the dungeons are too hard...
Yoshida just can't win
