Not unless you roll on a 3man solo , and still , even then , it depends on the class and gameplay.....

You are basically saying a sword hall run will take 25 minutes instead of 5. #facepalm



As for mechanics , allow me ask , have you ever played any of the scaled instances on release ?

Most of the more recent players don't even know what mechanics each instance has... Because there is simply no need to know . Everything dies on live so fast and the enemy damage is so low that almost no real mechanic ever comes to play. The only thing players currently watch out for , is the occasional reflect.



I'll spare you any references to t1 , lol , let's skip straight to the 'hard' stuff.

I've recently rolled on some t2c scaled instances on live , playing an alt for completing deeds.

I can give you dozens of examples but i'll limit myself to a couple.

Northcotton farm challenge , there is no need to slap a hobbit , the cauldron dies before the first one even walks to the end , all that while tanking every single poison eye puddle ofc , which does so low damage that you don't even have to care , doesn't matter if u have healer or not.

Durin's bane on OD fear wing t2c. Current tactic on live : Stand behind him and nuke.

This was one of the best fights ever released back in Enedwaith. You used to move around the platform , utilising all the room for dropping fire puddles , while dealing with the special ''face'' him attack ( with RKs etc ) and dealing with knockbacks and yanks.

The list goes on and on...

So yeah , no 'new' mechanics but at least some of the existing ones will come into play again , and that's with minimal dev work.



Ow , and keep in mind this didn't start with ''OP'' wastes and raid gear. It was the same many months ago. ( i did try them then too )

Scaled instances are simply way too weak on live atm and Mordor is a step towards the right direction.

And no , you don't have to be l33t kid with no-life to ''achieve'' the above.

Look at the FIs , people go in with 0 gear , sometimes 0 knowledge of the class too ( freshly valared and warg-pened ) and get the job done without a single wipe or even close...

Don't get me wrong , now that i've seen Mordor instance situation , i believe FIs should remain t1 and accessible to EVERYONE. And they will be.



No need to nerf.







Maybe , although number 1 factor on attendance is reward , not time required to complete. I am sure FIs are slowly becoming meaningless for quite a few players on live after so many months.

The grind for emps is finally coming to an end even for the slower player ^^
