My Nerfed Nexus Experience

    So i got on DCUO today and decided to run nexus knowing it had gotten tweaked in GU32. These are my discoveries.
    1. The first boss does not require a tank.
    2. All bosses are now vulnerable PvP mechanics I.E. block breaking, blocking, etc
    3.The bosses health and damage are significantly reduced(literally stood in general's bunker buster and survived with little to no damage with healer present of course)
    4.General in the BUFF room seems completely incapable of killing anybody.
    5. The nexus drone is now easily burned by 1 dps
    I can go on but you already get the idea. I literally feel that vengeance and dawn(T4) may pose greater difficulty in nexus(T5). working as intended i guess

    I didn't think nexus should have been nerfed to begin with, this just sounds depressing now lol

    Guess i'll check it out later after work

    That's how CR 84 content should feel at CR 100 imo

    what is this CR 84 content you speak of? Do you mean the minimum requirement to the content the devs stated was intended for people who were working towards sets of 85 gear?

    Nexus is honestly a joke now IMO the difficulty is completely gone from this raid

    We'll all the people who complained and couldn't beat it before should be happy. Enjoy....o_O

    Well ...I won't be home for another few hours to test it out
  13. ThatGuyLee Committed Player

    Yep it'd be a damn shame if ANYBODY wipes in nexus now
  14. MetalMario Loyal Player

    Yeah, remember you were supposed to need to have at least some of the 85 gear to expect to beat it, and you need more than 84 to queue anyway.

    And yet I watched someone on Twitch actually wipe in the buff room. Bad players will contine to be bad, regardless of the nerf. Makes me sad these raids were nerf'd. But hey, guess I'll just run my weekly nexus and dox run and wait for another challenge.... Oh wait. Nevermind.

    Well that sucks. Looks like all those people from the forums that dont play the game got their Gates V2.0. Welcome to the weakness. I hope it isn't as bad as you say, otherwise, shame on you devs, for taking it to far.

    very good point as that has been the case for the entire game once geared the raids that got you that way should be easier

    I bet the CR requirements to get into a PUG group are still going to be CR 99^.

    I didn't expect the nerfs to be this big. It's really really easy now.

    Finished it in 30 min with a pug with Green lantern ablls at the end. I think the shields in the last room don't 1 shot anymore, but i might be wrong.

    Good thing is that is was the most fun Nexus run i ever had. Everyone kept calling each other noobs and how it was a fail group. Was fun to see everyone joking around and mocking all the bad behaviour these raids have caused.

    Comments like "Omg, Kick troll, he can't tripple pot". Ah . Good times

    And wait, was this the in between version? I know they said what was first on test was considered too easy. Is that what went live or was it a newer rendition that was harder than that?
