There are "harder mobs," but not really "elites." Aemon Send a noteboard - 07/12/2010 04:27:19 PM
True, some have the elite portrait, but that rarely means anything besides a little more health, and maybe a knockback ability. Elites used to be things that killed you dead. Everyone used to be envious of the classes that could successfully kite the things around, as that was the only way to kill them without grouping.

Now? I killed the Redridge shark when he swam up to me from behind. I wasn't prepared, didn't plan to fight him, killed him handily with no kiting or tricks. The only TRUE elite I found was that one in the plaguelands. Though I have seen one or two others in some higher level zones that I haven't messed with, so maybe there are still a few top-notch mobs out there. I hope so. :)

A friend of mine is considering it, but my reply on joining him is an emphatic no. Zalis - 07/12/2010 02:15:27 PM 911 Views
I agree, that's why I quit before. Twice, actually. Aemon - 07/12/2010 03:59:09 PM 933 Views
The "mini-instanced" thing you refer to is what they call call "phasing". TMJ - 07/12/2010 02:19:04 PM 870 Views
Sure, I understand that part, I just don't know how it works when you pull in other players. Aemon - 07/12/2010 04:07:50 PM 833 Views

Great. j-whitt987 - 07/12/2010 02:21:54 PM 885 Views
If you've tried it and didn't like it, the changes won't convince you to play. Aemon - 07/12/2010 04:15:04 PM 833 Views
Get me excited then kick me in the head then. *NM* j-whitt987 - 10/12/2010 12:32:54 AM 388 Views

I haven't installed it yet, but it's dead week so I probably won't get to play much for a while LadyLorraine - 07/12/2010 02:53:23 PM 878 Views

I was excited about that initially. Aemon - 07/12/2010 04:23:47 PM 931 Views

yah, I always forget DKs. I haven't been in BGs since the breaking LadyLorraine - 09/12/2010 02:09:52 PM 881 Views
On the plus side, DK glyphs sell like hotcakes, so I'm fine with some OP DK fun. *NM* Aemon - 09/12/2010 04:58:11 PM 440 Views
EVERYTHING is selling like hotcakes. Macharius - 10/12/2010 02:14:37 PM 798 Views
