Heyas PTSers
Just thought about trying my hand at testing something that worried me when I saw the patch notes: the scaling of instances for solo quest.
So, I created a new character using the VR12 template and started the MQ, the FG and the MG doing one at a time.
The char I created is a sorcerer (the class on which I'm less experienced), and I equipped her with the stereotypical light armor and staves.
I went ahead following the quest lines, and I found that even when the enemies were scaled to VR12, the fight weren't difficult at all (in fact, I didn't die at all, not once.)
Of course, I couldn't finish all the quests in a single session, but I advanced several steps from each:
** For the MQ did all up until the whole Castle of the Worm and the fight with the fire-y skeletons (which I always hated!)
This includes the fight with the worm cult dude (don't recall the name...) under the lighthouse (AD), and the fight with the simil-Gargoyle guardian in coldharbour.
** For the FG did all up until the dwarven ruin in which you have to fight a Centurion, which includes the fight with Doshia prior to that quest.
** For the MG did the fight with Gutsripper and not much else yet.
I've been recording all the session (almost 5 hs!) and I'll probably will upload at some point if I find something interesting to report.
I also was paying attention to the dialogue (I didn't skipped anything, that's why I couldn't advance more), to look for lip-sync errors and all that. I haven't found any error yet...
I have no experience whatsoever with melee weapons or stamina builds, but if I can manage to finish this test to the end I'll try to give it another try with a new character, and this time use a Templar or NB with a stamina build, just for comparison.
Ideas, requests, questions, and discussion, as always are very welcome
Cheers!
