raykor.6723 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Perhaps this is just a personal pet peeve but I am very annoyed with any enemy over level 80. The game has plenty of other options: veterans, elites, champions, and just spawning greater numbers. But I absolutely hate fighting any enemy over 80. It makes all your attacks feel weak and your entire character impotent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blocki.4931 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 It's to avoid making every enemy a veteran or higher. Upscaling only happens when tons of people are around anyway and a good way to tune down the insta zerg kill everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upscaling only happens when tons of people are around anyway and a good way to tune down the insta zerg kill everything Issue is that they stay at that level if not killed making it a pain in the ass for players who are trying to do events by themselves if a zerg runs through, doesnt touch the event, but because they where there they upscaled the hell out of everything. The new map suffers from this from time to time and its annoying as hell and shouldnt happen, id rather fight veterans than a level 84 or 85 standard enemy that takes less damage then a level 80 veteran would and does more damage.

Boysenberry.1869 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Yeah, an 80 Veteran is still a lot beefier than an 81 or 82 regular mob. It's a nice way of having that in-between scaling without every large event being only Vets and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenleto.6179 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 None of my characters are impotent so your guys might need a bit of help in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting upscaled enemies forces your attacks to fumble. It's like having permanent weakness, except there's nothing that can be done to prevent it.

Just get really good at not dying, and you win by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game has plenty of other options: veterans, elites, champions, and just spawning greater numbers. But I absolutely hate fighting any enemy over 80. It makes all your attacks feel weak and your entire character impotent. I guess you never played GW1, where the max player level was 20, and ordinary maps and story instances could have mobs with levels all the way up to at least 28 (1) in normal mode, or 30 in hard mode. (1) Notably the endless swarms of spell-immune Margonite Clerics in Vabbi and the Realm of Torment, and Pinesouls and other nonsense in the Far Shiverpeaks.

That is just not true. Are you talking of certain PoF bounties and their boss mechanics per chance? There is one where you need to stand where the arrows point or your attacks will automatically miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one where you need to stand where the arrows point or your attacks will automatically miss. @"Blood Red Arachnid.2493" is probably talking about the mechanic called "Glancing" blows. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glancing Summary: The further below the enemy's level you are, the higher the chances of your attacks being a sort of reverse-critical hit, and doing half the normal damage.
