Guild Wars 2

Just curious if FoTM were buffed in yesterday patch.

Guildmates and myself went to do our level 30 daily as usual, something that never caused any problems before but yesterday we not only wiped (and had to restart our run due to reset bug) twice on Cliffside Fractal due to the trashmobs seemingly hitting harder but actually gave up as it was fairly late, something that never happened before.

Also felt like Mossman hit alot harder than usual, same with Bloomhunger.

It may just be us having a kittenty evening, but it felt like the mobs were harder in general?

Anyone else experienced this, or was it just us being crappy this evening?

Don t know but they stealth buffed fotm mobs since release so it wouldn t surprise me at all…

yet can t tell it if true…because afaik they stopped caring for fotms long ago.

As they have hugely messed up the WvW yesterday, I wouldn’t be surprised if you lost the WvW benefits in the meantime. Those make a difference. Anyone could back up that theory with more knowledge about this?

EDIT: Adding link to the wiki page for further reference.

That would make sense. Cheers!

They did increase the FOTM difficulty based on the reason that there are new ascended weapons.

Do you have a source to provide to back up this claim Aden Celeste? I don’t recall seeing this in the patch note but it doesn’t sound impossible.

I haven’t noticed any change in mobs. I am getting more rares, exotics, and fractal skins. Either they buffed that or I’m on the good side of RNG for a little.

Will run fotm tonight FOR SCIENCE

Running a 30 fract now and it seems to be same difficulty as before the patch, so either we had a kitten day yesterday or maybe Sacrai was right and wvwvw bonuses didn’t apply yesterday.
