“Third tier (aka “Nightmare”) mechanics now start in the Elite 11 - 13 tier.” I like most of the things I’ve seen in this patch, but not this one. New people are already asking in their first E1 dungeons, “what’s new compared to story mode?” Well, nothing really but bigger numbers. In E2 again the…

I agree with the OP. E11+ should rather have additional mechanics. Group healing that they introduced in NY E17 seemed to make healers quite happy to actually for once have real stuff to do, so this, hopefully, was a first proof of concept that they’ll expand on later.

I’d guess that it’s aimed at making the dungeons easier (and faster) to complete. The changes to the queue shows that they’re looking to increase the number of people running dungeons, with better rewards being given for lower difficulty, (you get rewards from the top of the bracket, but the difficu…

[image] AWOL: It’d be nice to have new mechanics for e11+, but even if it was just adding one new ability per boss, that’d seem to potentially be the same amount of effort as designing a whole new collection of bosses for a dungeon. Nirvelle & team are very good at making those very fast thes…

[image] Rutto: By the “third tier” I’m just referring the patch notes that said “Third tier (aka “Nightmare”) mechanics now start in the Elite 11 - 13 tier.” and seeing the old E5 mechanics moved to E11->. I’d be happy to get informed better. Where does it say E5 mechanics are moved to E11 i…

Nice ideas! For DW it might also be relatively easy to make the blood puddles (left by dying adds) and filth (bosses 2 and 6) persist to the end of the fight.

[image] AWOL: “Third tier (aka “Nightmare”) mechanics now start in the Elite 11 - 13 tier.” Nightmare. There is Story (e0 I guess), Normal (e1-4), Elite (e5-10), so Nightmare (e11+) naturally starts at 11. What exactly is the problem?

[image] darxide: Nightmare. There is Story (e0 I guess), Normal (e1-4), Elite (e5-10), so Nightmare (e11+) naturally starts at 11. What exactly is the problem? The problem is that there won’t be “Elite” E5-10 mechanics anymore. The mechanics are the same from E1 to E10. (Or possibly from sto…

I think it’s a throwback to the TSW dungeon mechanic system, where we had story, elite and nightmare mechanics. Mechanics wise, Story and e1-4 dungeons on live are the same. The amount of damage the mechanics do is different ofc, but the abilities themselves are the same.

Moving "nightmare" mechanics to E11->. Why?
