Last time they changed the difficulty it was a lie. Introduced a easy-mode.
It turned out, the new easy-mode was actually the normal-mode. Former normal-mode got harder.
This time, easy-mode mostly without mechs, but much more boss hp. Annoying and not doable with low gear.
Very bad is, we are getting the KR Changes, but not the items/gear to play them.
They did the same with the failing-weapon-upgrade. Always said: KR has much more and better items, cheaper, better drop, but also a failing system.
US/EU has less items, cost more, low droprate, but no failing. We got now the sh... failing system too. Of course, nothing changed with the items.
We have now bad+bad.
For the easy-mode: I saw it only once. A former CtA Event. We could run the lower dungeons solo.
Easy-Mode should be like this.
Normal-Mode with mechs, "normal" boss hp, "normal" timer.
Hard-Mode with mechs + wipe mechs, higher boss-hp, shorter enrage timer.
Well, today i tried again Sandstorm Temple. This time with a low gear group hm14-17. Annoying but no problems with the timer.
3x frozen at 1st boss. But no one died again. So, its still easy to do.
Then Brood Chamber. And that was very annoying. Half the group low-gear again. Hm14-17. Other around hm20-22. 3-4 dead, so we beat him with 2-3. We somehow made it. And i'm playing Fire-FM, the most bad class for cc, kd, stun, resist, + very long cooldown. It's the second lowest dungeon in the list and already not doable with low gear. I would say you need hm18/20+ (1800-2000ap+) and high Defence or a good melee class with good resist + fast cooldown. I will not play BC again. Tomorrow i try Cathedra Cliffs.
