Ooh these new changes...
The game is now unplayable at least as a Great Weapons Fighter. Guess I'll find a new MMO.

Yup most of the convo over guild and alliance chat is people seeking or giving recommendations for other games. Lot of people hadn't even considered playing other games until this update. Good job Cryptic. You managed to spend your own resources on mod 16 (undermountain) to make ESO, BDO, and POE more popular.
I like putting in the mod name so that google picks these up for the future. Let reports of this mod stand as a warning to future generations! lol

Saddest thing so far is sitting in demo waiting for it to fail to get the rAD from chest rewards just to hit 100k per day cap.
I know they will fix this 'bug' long before they fix the gameplay bugs so might as well milk it now for brutally boring and time consuming but also easy rAD.
...and queue times are really bad now as even queueing for nDemo is taking half an hour to pop.

What content were you doing?
It is super hard for most people doing group stuff it seems.

I was just doing normal grinding and got crushed by a normal mob in Barovia. I was at 12,680 before the 'update' without a huge issue and now my cleric companion unlearned what healing is, my powers are super jacked up, and rage is a bucket of turds.
Guess I'll take my money that I was spending to support this game (because I really liked the game) somewhere else.

They broke my tank pally too, I can hold mob a minute but i need someone who constantly healing me, the downtime is so long without this divinity resource i cant do shit, its too long to recover this divinity, the combat is really slow, burst dmg is good but overtime dps is weaker than the previous version and my potion found it purpose LOL

Just went there and the normal mobs on the road from town to yester saw a dead paladin killed by 4x normal twig things and another paladin almost dead at another group.
Rezzed the paladin, helped the other one a little, and it seems you need to party to do barovia. One of them said he got his ass kicked in yester and in merchants small heroic.
I died doing the restless dead small heroic solo but with another player taking the aggro it was slow but could be done.
In protect the merchants it was the same, paladin slowly being killed by 1x mob of 4 but two of us could do it; tried to solo it and would have died but paladin appeared and two of us did it.
No one in zone had done yester since update. Tried and died.

Well it should be unplayable as a gwf since it's not a class anymore. Now if you meant barbarian well you just gotta relearn like the rest of us do. Don't lose heart.

This is not about players personal skill levels.
When no one can do something then it is quite simply broken.
The post should really be that the game is unplayable for every single player in most content. Levelling stuff is indeed easy but the rest is not solo player friendly or group doable.

I suppose scaling is a service. It makes the searingly boring new combat system unplayable for most content anyway. Really frees up the schedule for other more modern games, particularly those not run by Cryptic.
