Gonna drop this in the bugs section in the hopes it will get more attention.

I can confirm this. I don't have exact numbers (yet), but when soloing dolmens I did notice clearly that my stamblade was taking way more damage than usual.

Incoming gear increase.. can you feel it?

Seems like.mobs ignore armor and cp resist now. Run some solo content like vMA and you will feel it.

Has Zo$ acknowledged this issue and said anything about resolving it yet? Or is this a new feature in the game to make everything hard mode now?

Isn't it a good thing to make it harder?

With scaling etc for those leveling and power creep everything was getting grindy. Things being harder is fine by me. Celt maybe reset the leaderboards if there is a system wide change

I'm sure when gear goes CP180/200 it will feel ok again lol

By all accounts this is an unintended bug. If this was the result of a gear/mob level cap increase it would be one thing. We are merely asking ZOS to look into this and provide either an explanation or a fix for this undocumented side effect.

@Beardimus: ZOS already said in another thread (I think the one about damage in trials) that a mob damage increase was not intended. So it's just like with the One Tamriel patch, where they also unintentionally increased mob damage by a great deal.

I can confirm the present bug a second time, this time from my healer's perspective. I noticed that in the Random Normals I did today, the group's health was going down considerably faster than usual. At first I didn't pay too much attention to this, figured it might just have been one player with particularly bad resistances, but in retrospect it happened to all players in all dungeons.
