IC mobs nerfed

llSRRll · July 2016

I knew from the start DB nerfed the mobs in IC is there a reason behind it? Im not sure whether I like it or not but I noticed they are so easy to kill now. Did people whine to get them nerfed or was this just ZOS idea from?

Probably a byproduct of the vet rank removal. Intentional or otherwise.

it is to promote more PvP. It was really annoying to PvP with hard hitting mobs getting in the way.

It's also to promote more people to go into the area. Before, lesser skilled players had no chance at being able to solo most of the mobs. Now, they can comfortably roam around by themselves and kill things. I actually really enjoy the change- you can kill mobs a lot quicker meaning tons more telvar and exp.

IC has been so much better since the DB changes imo.
But yh they got nerfed to help with solo players.

way more fun to be able to kill other ppl without 10 hardcore mobs smashing on you at all times

idk if it was for solo players because before the nerf I would solo portals and some bosses(1 banners) in IC no problem I think it was just to bring in more people who couldn't solo due to the mobs difficulty bringing more people in the DLC

I will miss the days of watching hardcore PvPers get smeared by the mobs because they had no concept of PvE mechanics. It was my favorite part of the IC.

Most hardcore PvPers are actually really good at soloing PvE content. I saw a bunch of hardcore PvPers with Stormproof and Flawless achievements very quickly after VMA launched. What PvE mechanics are harder than fighting good PvPers?

Not good PvPers. I'm on my phone so scare quotes are hard to type.

Lol it was more PVE players complaining about how hard the mobs were than PVPers.They were annoying not difficult at all.PVPvers complained that they had to kill mobs in the first place they just wanted to PVP,not PVE.Its the second reason why PVEr players ran around in zerg trains one for protection and the other because they couldn't kill the mobs solo.

ZOS nerfed them to make it easier for smaller groups to take out the mobs when they weren't a problem to start with.Only thing the change did was make it harder for smaller groups to wipe and get away from bigger groups by kiting them into mobs.

I actually am starting to dislike the change, I cant go in and farm IC any longer without a rival faction in there trying to kill me. I know its suppose to be PvP but before the DB I could go in the Temple district and not see another player for an hour most of the time. Now everyone is fighting for that spot bc of the ease of getting Monsters Teeth. Oh well they essentially took away my grind spot.

Not as funny as watching multiple PVEers get smeared by a single person and losing 15k stones total. That being said, the best PVPers also make the best PVEers. Just look at the maelstrom arena leaderboards.
