NToV harder than VP ?

[Atmas]

VP was much harder than NToV relative to the time it was released. Sony or whoever it was then said they would never again release such difficult content. Obviously over the years we created a bunch of tactics to somewhat gimp it, but as it was intended it was crazy stuff. Those splitting wurms that AoE for 500 are horrendous. Only being able to zone out on a pad that is under a dragon, bleckkk.

And then they made Tacvi, which was tuned for a level cap of 70 and not 65 (despite being released with a cap of 65). Tunat was a nightmare

And it would be way more fun if Hoshkar could be pulled off by 10-12 people, given his AE was actually resistable with proper resists.

As it stands, the Hoshkar/Zlexak, and Nexona AEs are damn near unresistable even with 255 resists. Which is wrong.

All-or-nothing AEs should resist at a higher rate than those which have a potential for partial resists. Furthermore these AEs very likely have non-classic resist modifiers (or lure checks) which they did not have until after the resist revamp in Luclin, which allowed you to buff up to 500 resists.

Hosh/Zlexak AE still really hard to resist on Phinny. It's got a -150 resist adjust after all.

Try again when you're rolling in Vex Thal gear. The resists on that stuff surpasses even PoTime.

With decent resists and a bard you should resist most all of those AEs at cap on Phinigel. Druushk is actually the most difficult fight due to the AE being allowed to partial hit.

Some nerds love the racing. Other nerds don't want to race and just want to kill dragons.

To each their own.

But every nerd on the planet thinks huge variance is dumb. 1 hour variance would be more than enough to do the job it needs to do.

But they're never going to reduce it because ??? I've not heard a good logical argument for keeping 16 hour variance.

My hypothesis is that our dear overlord is trolling the raiders who insist on making much of the raid game here such a toxic swamp.

I'm actually in favor of huge variance, we don't have huge variance atm.

48+ hour variance please. Would help kill off a lot of this contrived racing BS.

Switch variance and set respawn time. Every major raid target goes into window 16 hours after death with 3-7 day variance.

And this.
