Given the gear levels that that people had the first week of ops I'd say that both 8 and 16 were difficult, after that though it's all a joke.

 

Mathmatically speaking, the DPS requirements for 16M HM are significantly lower. So gear level was a non-issue for 16M HM during the first week relative to 8M HM. Post week one, it is extremely easy to overgear 16M HM, and slightly less easier to overgear 8M HM.

 

When it is all said and done, all of the content should have been much more difficult, and 16M HM and 8M HM should be tuned exactly the same mathematically, with the challenge coming from coordinating more bodies, and carrying more bad players.

 

You will not defeat Styrak on 8M HM with less than 8 players, but on 16M HM, having 14 players is not a problem at all. I guess they are trying to account for the increased likely hood of a bug (knockback causing someone to be stuck) or a disconnect not causing the group to fail the encounter. But honestly, who knows what Bioware is thinking. EQ or Elder Scrolls anyone?

 

Regards,

KK

This is exactly what I wish they would do going forward. Ofcourse I also wish they would do things like Dreadtooth for 8m groups (post 4 stacks), but hey I will settle for operations being equal.

Finally got the Screen Shots for <Forge> Imperial 8 Man Scum and Villainy Hard Mode Kills from Sunday I previosly posted about.

 

Sorry it took so long, my officer who had the SS didnt log in again until Tuesday nights raid.

 

He didnt get teh chat/codex update in the first two, but he has boss health and items looted in some. Its clearly visible in the 3rd boss kill and hopefully you will trust in that since HM has its own lockout and its not like we could have gone in on SM and switched it.
