Normal mobs hitting harder than veteran mobs - Intended?

Berenhir · October 2016

Hi ZOS team

I have done a quick comparison of the same mobs in CoH I normal and vet mode (the group at the start) and have come to the conclusion that normal mobs hit for exactly 22,5% more damage than those in vet dungeons.

Look at the comparison between normal and vet here, take arrow spray and quick shot for example:

Is this intended?

This would explain a lot.

if the scaling of players/mobs would have been in the game from the beginning it would be acceptable,this is a rug-pull to new players.artificial difficulty and lazy development, nothing more.

Have you been able to tell whether the normal bosses hit harder as well?

Yeah, especially our last run!

I don't think so, the ilambris twins in vet hit for 18k+, nothing like that in normal.

I can very much confirm this weird behavior.

I just did a run of Normal Spindleclutch II with friends, and unsuspecting like we were, we got trashed really good at the first mob group. They have like twice the health and three times the damage they used to have.

The end boss on the other hand seemed to do much less damage than he used to.

Something is clearly not right here. I hope this is just a bug and gets fixed really soon, because I really can't imagine this is intentional, especially towards new players.

Another comparison here. First screenshot from a two man run of nWayrest I, second one from beating skeevers solo in vWayrest I for comparison.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Sorry, I know you get linked a lot lately but could you be so kind to inform us if this is somehow working as intended or if this is an issue that you investigate? Thank you very much in advance!

We're currently planning to have this fixed in the next incremental patch; just testing the fix for it now. Sorry about that!

We just did Spindleclutch II on normal too and there is something totally wrong with bosses as well.
The nightmare adds from the smaller bosses wiped us at least twice but the final boss was no more difficult than an irritating mudcrab...
