Legacy raid soloing changed drastically over night. Doing roughly 1/3rd the damage I was yesterday. Bug?
Not a bug. It's a change accompanying a large reduction in health to all mobs in that level range. (Watcher)
So the net effect is nothing changed?
Net effect is probably somewhat lower damage in practice. Maybe 20% longer kill times, closer to pre-6.0 (Watcher)
Festergut 25HC took me ~40seconds last night. I wiped on LK after about 5 minutes and he wasn't even 50%. You sure 20% is right?
The problem is that last night you had the lower multiplier but not yet the lower health pools. Should be sorted out now. (Watcher)
Has this been implemented yet? I still seem to only do my normal dmg, no multiplier. The mobs clearly have had their HP reduced, but my damage is the same outside as it is in a legacy raid.
By "outside" do you mean outside in Northrend? Because that's all Wrath content, all gets the same treatment. (Watcher)
Question: was there a hotfix to soloing old content?
Yes, along with health/damage changes to all old mobs. The target was preserving the same pacing as 5.4.8, maybe a bit faster. (Watcher)
Initially lots of fun for tons of people bored with the game and now.. lots of disappointment....again! Why such high priority on getting this "fixed" when there are so many other pressing issues in game now?
It was part of the overall health/damage adjustment which I'd say was absolutely a pressing issue. If you could solo something in 5.4 or earlier, but cannot today, please let us know. (Watcher)
I agree with many others, no point in old content being hard to solo, please revert.
I think it'd be fine if no gold dropped and items had no value beyond transmog. But I think that'd bring its own problems. (Bashiok)
so are you saying the revert *is* because gold was too easy to obtain?
Not at all. It changed because the goal was preserving 5.4.8 pacing, and we got the numbers wrong at first. (Watcher)
