Just because we are all thinking it...Mob HPs in TDS

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Getting bored real fast with this.

It's to even up the XP gain.

You get 1/4 XP in RoF. And you get 3x the HP's in TDS.

Ya Exp Nerf part duex. HPs the reckoning.

I really like the part about finish - new exciting content that should be more rewarding than older content - and getting a whopping 1% exp reward.

Just wait until you get to Arx Mentis

According to Elidroth, fights had become too short and the devs were looking to increase them. This isn't without logic; more HP is beneficial to sustained classes, and is not unprecedented in the game (for a long time fights took forever). I honestly am not sure how I feel about this; I dislike longer fights but I also enjoy having tools like RS more useful on trash mobs.

I'm raid geared with guildies. Its the Groupers I feel for.

somebody should tell SOE it is NOT 1999 anymore - long fights with Mobs with too many HPs are just boring - nothing else - players didnt like it in VT and definately do not like it now

I like things not blowing up the instant I attack them.

I don't have time for long fights. I have a family now. I have responsibilities. If I wanted a game that took me ages I'd be playing chess through the mail with a friend. In 1999 I was a young kid just out of college with lots of time on my hands. I could sit for 8 or 9 hours playing and not worry about whether I was spending time with my wife or not. I don't need that in my life.

Step 1 Nerf DPS across the board.
Step 2 Increase NPC HP by 150%
Step 3 We all get bored and play something else.

Its working SOE.

@Laronk sorry I dont take ppl seriously coming from an easy-Play server like FV. Normal server - normal group (not raid geared) - the "normal" TDS Mobs are just fine - the extra HP Mobs are boring as hell.

the entire theme of this expansion is '' slow people down''.. from time-gating raid content, to the HP increase/dps nerf... even the hailing on quests...

I was told the higher hp mobs give higher exp. Are people able to confirm that?

I like my trash to be easy if level appropriate. Names are where the interesting stuff is suppose to happen.

Combine type mobs in Thallisaur have way too many hp, otherwise seems ok so far

150%? lol...

Yep
At this point in time, this expansion will be remembered not as the "end of EQ" but clearly the "beginning of the end". (The "end of the beginning" was long ago)
As someone else pointed out - say "TDS" out loud - all will come clear.

Robnie:

7.5 million HP for a trash mob? in arc mentix ( I hope?)

sheesh

In Thulisar, for a quest, once you hit t2 though pretty much all trash mobs have 5-8 mil hp. Nameds can be up to 20, even just quest nameds.

Yes they have a ton of hit points. Yes it will be slower. Yes we are all older and have kids and real jobs. BUT we play everquest! Rub some dirt on it and get out there and kill! We are better than this. This is our game warts and all and I for one love it more than ever.
