    have they scaled pw down yet so it's playable?
    cm's said they are working on it and we are wondering if it is being worked on.
    wouldn't want to see yet another fix or release with this same outcome.thx

    no it's not,,it should be in test server at some point in time before it goes live.they have to "test and nerf it first" to see if it will be playable using the new system. if we can get info on this before it goes live and have them correct it then we don't have to wait weeks for a hotfix again. and maybe enjoy this game again.
    but i don't think any players here are going to take their word for it."reworked" lol o_O

    says u,,have u been to map2? its totally OP, "as we made our toons to farm this for glyphs more easier through the years" it has become a nightmare for alot of people. i could kill a red boss knight in a lesser amount out hits then i can now,which is totally bs.
    we should be more powerful now. not weaker or the same or make pw more OP for something new.no i or we didn't play for years to be level 1 all over again to grind for hours again to run 1 map. i don't want training wheels again,i know how to ride.;)
    and no they didn't fix it yet in hf2,the cm told me to wait for the new release.:p

    fourtwenty68,
    Dude man your topic says scaling that is not until r157 what makes you think we will see 157 on stablebuild.drakensang.com before we even see r156 on live server. This is why I provided you with a link so you can see what your asking for is a ways off.

    On the topic of map 2 being op I just created a brand new toon almost two weeks ago I soloed mostly map 1. I did help others since I know ways of getting it done faster. I am now soloing a full clear of map 2 solo at level 33. I am ether lucky or very skilled you deside what you want to believe.

    Why yes, I have. I happen to solo farm it rather frequently, just like I did before r155. ¬¬

    Please try to think from the point of players who aren't premium.
    Also try to think from the point of view of players who try to help others to farm map 2 along with them.

    I just made a map 2 party every night and we have 2 non and 3 premium. We only died last night when there was a sever lag on map 2. All 5 of us died at the same time. Right after getting the first knight none of our skills where working. 3 of us where on team speak yelling at the game lol. I choose to get up kill the knight and get up one other person. We did 26 knight total and that was our only death.

    m2 is pretty similar for me to what it was before. the monsters have more HP gain than I have damage gain, but they still not that hard unless you face too many at once. slower to farm than it was before, but still entirely do-able.

    Map 2 hasn't changed, it is we the players who have leveled up.
    We are level 50 and so are the mobs.
    They are ready at level 50 and the players are not, because we are running around with level 45 items (maybe upgraded to 50, but still not as good as Level 50 items).

    Moreover, the map isn't that tough like many complaining here. I am able to clear the map but a bit slow than before because We haven't reached level 50 on the wisdom tree yet and we do not have items of level 50.

    Were you all able to run map 2 easily before at level 45 geared up with level 40 items?
    No, right? It's the same case now.
    Patience.

    Go beat the elites in Lor'Tac and get those damn new titles until they rework PW and Moon events :D

    Maybe some people just aren't as skilled as you and your friends then :) Map 2 is the the only map in DSO which gives consistent drops of eo/legend which is the bare essential to make a player stronger. Farming a map which makes us stronger relatively easily or being invited to a group which farms such a map relatively easily without literally begging to be invited is the bare essential need for a game to get new players more interested to go the distance. There are other ways of entertaining players who want tough battles, just make consistent drops of eo/legend in all of the other maps with a hard mode where the strongest players have to literally use all their fingers on the keyboard and mouse to stay alive and give green blue drops in normal mode. Infact they are planning a hard mode on all PW maps even now. Just my point is I have already noticed that some f2p new players who know what to do to get strong but cant do map 2 because they cant solo and neither do they get invited to any group which does it because he is just not worth the hassle. Previously they still got a chance to farm it with players who found it easy to carry others. Personally speaking I am a bit selfish, I usually carry newer players and skip mobs from 2nd boss onwards starting from mortis gate. its very irritating to go back to help a player in trouble or a player dead, i cannot just tell them you guys are noob and need to improve skills. and as stated earlier it takes a bunch of time to kill 5-7 bugs bunched in an area now so that's a whole lot of wastage of time for me.
    They could either make map 2 easier to avoid wastage of time or just give another map with 70% drop chance of eo/legend which is relatively easier where players who cant farm map 2 easily can go for easier runs to get stronger.

    I know that the DK is having problems with PW and everything else. But I found that a simple trick has made me so powerful that I can solo map 2 with ease.

    Here is my suggestion.

    SM SW and RA get a green 2nd weapon (Longbow) with 50% or more Increase weapon damage. And upgrade it to a higher level than you are. Select the behemoth talent. For my level 34 he has 1300 damage The others I suggested doing the same found 40% or higher currently. They are still looking. I found 67% but in times past I had a 80% and am under the impression this is the max you can get.

    So then your post here helps?


    I mean please help me understand. You say dk is to overpowered and then say you can't do something with an op class you want nerfed then maybe we need to get better.

    You choose those words I did not.

    really? she has a 120% increased damage and 87 damage 2h sword and is still finding it difficult at lvl50 hod :( i will tell her to search for a better sword. she is in my guild afterall.

    -- MERGED --

    That's exaggerating but yes it takes a useless amount of time even with high damage now specially if the rest of the people in group are people who dont have long range armour breaks or are people who haven't mastered armour breaks.
