Did they make strikes more difficult?

[Evon Skyfyre.9673]

I have run strikes everyday since they were added. Some here may know me from my daily runs to Shiverpeaks, Voice, Faenir, and Cold war (pugs). We have our ups and downs but we get them done. Today, group seemingly of decent players, almost wiped in Shiverpeaks >.<. Voice, tried twice, at different times, we couldn't get gold. Is it just my luck today or did they change something accidently or on purpose? (Please spare me the "Get good" remarks, unless you can explain what is wrong :) )

I've played all Strikes today, Cold War even six times, and have not encountered any issues. That was before the patch, though...

That doesn't sound all that unusual. What was the group's DPS like?

Exact makeup I couldn't say, we split into to squads, healer in each etc.. for Voice. I actually hope it was just a bad day. I like the runs, and right now even look forward to the distraction. I just finished my Ascended armor I had Zojjas chest, picked up shoulders, boots, helm, gloves from shards dropping in strikes. Got anxious after the failures today and crafted the leggings, even thoughi have 133 red prophet shards lol

I wasn't asking about composition although that can have a big impact on DPS. In my experience with a typical "decent" run at least 4 or 5 of the people should be doing 10k+ while very good runs having people doing more than twice that especially for voice/claw. That is what I meant by group DPS.

 

Edit: just went and did the easy three and there doesn't seem to be any change, DPS for reference

Very nice, thank you. I hope it was just one of those days. Sometimes you get the bear... sometimes he gets you and your little dog too.. lol

Update: ran Shiverpeaks, Voice of fallen, Faenir of Jormag, and Cold War today. They were all fine. :)
