I have noticed a continuous onslaught by the lead dev to nerf or strengthen mobs,it already seemed perfectly fine a long time ago and never needed any changes.What i fear but i could stand to be corrected is we are not looking at the combat from the EVEN up stand point but judging based on players having the very best gear and already far above skills than what they are fighting.
Example i heard of these Fire nerfs,well i played Fire,it never felt o/p and that was fighting with 40-50 skill versus level 20-30 stuff,it SHOULD be o/p fighting lower minions.
Also i mentioned this long ago,grouping is a GREAT idea but ONLY if there are actual grouping mechanics and a steady flow of players to group with,neither of which is the case ..yet. I really don't like the auto 25% xp for being in a group,that is not grouping mechanics but follows more in line with old Asian rpg's.Why would you get more xp just for being in a group,it is not a plausible idea,it should be EARNED.
Point being ANY player with ANY skill/class SHOULD be able to walk in with a 50 skill and easily beat any boss at level 30,this is not the case.This is not even about SKILL because most players know how to utilize to their best ability each class by now.
One final point that i think i also mentioned before.EVERYTHING is based on mana but seems to also run out far too fast making for upgraded skills to feel no better than level skills just more dmg and more cost,so never really feels like your player is advancing just trading more mana for more dmg.
I have also noticed that quite often especially on Bosses you do absolutely no damage and he regens it fast anyhow if you did manage to nick him.Not a very realistic idea,you should always be doing damage and how is plausible he is regen with no active regen spell nor does he take any potions just nothing.I mention this because for a long time the lead seemed to always lean towards plausible realism,we have some fixing to do in that regard.
PS i really really loved this game back when i started playing but it seems to be going in the wrong direction for me,i have not wanted to play for the past month now ,sad because i was having lots of fun.
PS. i still give this game props and try to encourage others to play it,it is just not fro me anymore but that might change in the future.
