    Last time I checked, it wasn't a requirement to use TT, Lunar or Nirvana gear. My barb is doing just fine with 2-3 star gear, a legendary weapon and saving a lot of money doing it.

    Well, most people would like to get to a high level and farm instances for money. And believe me, you don't get invited to those runs unless you've got good gear.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    Everyone wants to be different, but when you're different you wish you were normal.

    3 star is fine at your level but try doing anything close to end game without decent gears. especially as a barb... Delta with npc geared barb anyone? Not to mention you'll be an easy oneshot.... Of course theres exceptions for gears such as AA boots with phys resis+94x3, but usually you wont survive long end game without TT/Lunar/Nirvana.

    It's not a requirement, but most people would like it to at least be an option. Hard is fine, but it shouldn't feel close to impossible for the people who would most like to do the runs.

    Also, you're level 64, so ...

    You can't compete in high tier PvP with 2-3* gear, nor can you survive in high lvl instances without good gear. At lvl 64 the hardest thing you have is TT1-1 and it's pretty easy.

    Ohhhhhhhh....ok I see.

    TBH I have not tried it. I did if once after the 1st "nerf" and tbh I did not find it bad at all, but that's just me.

    The new, like I said above, I am curious to try it out and see.

    No, but I've heard from enough people in-faction to know that it's unrealistically hard now.

    We already had a group in 3-3 and another in 3-2, so I decided to run a 3-1 for the lulz. Full squad, two EPs. We went through it without any real problems, however Beast was stunning, sealing, aoe debuffing... was hitting me for 4k magic while I was in BB. Steelation random aggro'd, sealed and AoEd... a little less difficult than Abaddon bosses. It wasn't all that hard for a full 10x party. I imagine it's going to be a nightmare for a high 8x to low 9x party to do though. I can't solo tank Beast on a charm anymore. This wasn't bad at all.

    Read what experienced players are saying about 3-3 or ask in-faction when you can get in-game...

    :o Aren't you the one that always QQed about it being too easy & how Old Lunar was nice :D Well now have fun.

    first i doubt some of the people who complain did really kill the mobs and thought the aoe is no problem then got a nice surprise...

    but if bosses are tricky now and they require skill instead of 5aps...
    learn to deal with them...
    purge them...
    cancel channeling...
    debuff their atk...
    purify the tank...

    well. atm i will try to run lower TTs to figure out easier versions of bosses

    i did 3-1 beast (it already was kinda hard lol) and now i know what to do (i think) tho i will need run it one or two times to remember all ****

    this boss, aggro randomly as usual, but he talks a lot now too

    he also:

    aoe purge prolly followed by aoe silence (if im not wrong)

    aoe reduce hp (like 1/2 maybe?)

    strong aoe dmg + aoe p.def debuff

    extreme poison on tank mostly


    that aoe dmg which will oneshot lots ppl is rarest

    then is hp debuff and purge + silence

    sometimes he randoms too

    but he does that extreme poison thingy in a row.. (it s not aoe fortunately lol)

    i wants sage purify =/



    and worst is that this boss can do 'combos' of two different attacks sometimes and it s not fun to get silence when he deep poison tank..



    he wont leave much space for mistakes in 3-3.. you can be sure of that..

    Thank you, finally someone would rather look at what you need to do, not QQ about it is hard or impossible. I for one am glad they put some challenge back in the game, something that will seperate players from top to bottom. CS has made it possible for players to reach 5 aps and easy mode almost anything in the game. I too at 5 aps have been commenting to many of my friends that it does nothing but make me lazy, that being why I stopped Nirvana a while back. Lets see now, spark, hit for 13 secs, spark, hit for 13 secs. If the bosses are as hard as everyone says, I will be sitting there in TT's till I figure out a way to kill them.

    Do I think they will keep it like this ? Nope, in time they will dumb it back down again so all can take the instances down.

    Have I tried it myself ? Nope, but look forward to giving it a hell of a run tonight as soon as I get home.

    Am I all for it ? Sure, if it brings back the need to play with skill and pay attention to what goes on with the boss.

    yeah is another one of my thoughts to behind why they did this.

    everyone knows they are putting in money sinks, what better way then to force a 3 mil a run at your mats for lunar. make 3-3 next to impossible, then people will flock to an easier instances.

    Yea, this will definitely stop venos from farming 3-1 for the GBAs now :P I just finished a solo run and tried it out, died hahaha.

    But yea, I'd be interested in trying for 3-1 beast with a full squad. Might be fun trying to deal with it's new difficulty.

    Said the level 101 5 APS BM. Maybe the solution should be to fix 5 APS BM's instead of "fixing" the instances so they're impractical for anyone else. As someone pointed out earlier, 3-1 is a level 88 instance. Yeah, it should probably be tough at level 88, but it shouldn't be so hard that you're better off saying **** it and buying your mats from all the level 101 BM's who can still manage it.

    Bottom line is, this is yet another in a long string of "fixes" for something that was never broken. If you want 3-1 to be harder, take off half your gear. There, now it's harder. Enjoy.

    You're level 101 with some of the best gear available in the game, doing an instance designed for people 13 levels below you. Of course it's easy. I'll bet FB19 is easy for you too, but I don't see many people suggesting (God forbid) that the FB19 bosses should do AOE's that 1-shot all the level 19's in your party just so it's more fun for level 101 fist BM's.

    I am not disagreeing that 5 aps is broken. I think it is. But it is not exactly easy to obtain ( tho getting easier everyday it seems ) I also believe that many have pointed out that much of this is so a 5 aps can not just walk in and tank the instance, they would have to really play their class again, not just go kill mode. Meaning that they use their skills, utility that their class is suppose to have, and not pull aggro themselves.

    If you want to fix the problem of buying from higher levels, have PWI do the same that so many other games have done, put in a TLC. ( trival loot code ) If anyone in the party is x levels above the mob, sorry no high end loot. Yes, there is normal loot, in this case green mats prehaps, but no gold for sure.

    I also do not agree putting in impossible content for 3-1, maybe 3-2 tho much of this is needed for your TT99. A harder version of 3-1 should be in, as well as most of the TT's, but with a greater chance of reward for completing it. We all know the drop rate of mats, and how much it does blow, adjust that with the level of the content. Along with the mentioned above way to keep out farming, place lock outs on the bosses. Sure you can go into the instances, but the bosses would be locked out for set time frame to keep from an overflow from those that are able to complete the instance.

    Basically what they were trying to do here is make it so that high levels could not over farm these instances so easily with small squads of very well geared people. The problem is making it hard for that group of people effectively makes it impossible for average people to stand a chance.
    Exactly. By tuning the instance so it's challenging for level 100s w/ gear they acquired when it was easy to do, they've made it impossible for level 8x-9x working their way up. In essence, they've created a situation where lower level people are forced to buy from the level 100+ farmers. Precisely the opposite of what people have been asking for.

    This so many times over.

    I mean, I'm a 90 archer with about 4k hp. How the heck am I or a similarly geared squad (have tt90 already) supposed to do something this ridiculous? It's for lower levels, why should we be punished? It seems I hate 5APS and what it does to the game more and more.

    I haven't had the *pleasure* to try the new instances, however by the looks of it..isn't it just a flashback of Harpy Wraith? He does a debuff..HUGE aoe damage..1-2 shots the tank then everyone else, could wipe entire guilds in 1 shot.

    Yea..then people practiced, and now Harpy can be killed by 2 people.

    Wouldn't this be something to just practice and see what you need to do to live/kill the boss?

    Like TheDan said earlier, he was able to kill Steelation by debuffing the boss and kiting whenever needed, you just need to figure out what to do and when by practicing, and eventually it's gonna be a piece of cake.

    Yea surely..it's **** that this happened..really hurts low levels and even high levels as well, but it's not like it's the end of TT farming lol.

    Like Rawthorne said earlier as well, when he was able to purify in time the guy lived? Something like that.

    Yea I realized that, and it makes sense, but it would be a valid thing to say towards this topic, if Harpy was not able to be killed without XXX amount of people. I was pointing out the simplicity of him even though months before he could not be killed by a full guild..then people tried different ways to kill him, and now its easy. Same could be done with the new TT system. Didn't take Dan long to kill steelation.
