- Do not post Facebook information about other forum users.

- Do not start a thread about a news story or article unless you make it clear what the story is about, and offer your own opinion to start a discussion.

- Do not share your account information with other individuals. You will be held responsible for any rules violations that occur under your account.
- Do not create new accounts or use other tricks to avoid suspensions or bans.
- Do not create ‘sock puppet’ accounts – multiple accounts created just so that you can agree with yourself and make it seem like your ideas have more support than they do.

- Moderators have no access to your game account. If you have an issue you must contact customer service.

Generally, BE NICE. There is nothing wrong with being nice to each other.

    Couldn't agree more. I'm sick of Cronus already. The interest for me was in figuring him out. Now that the forum has pretty much got his M.O nailed down, I'm going back to Reds.

    At the very least they should ratchet back the number of people required to launch firestorm to 125. That way, assuming you have a solid slaying group, you don't have to spam the world just to have a chance.

      I think it will be anyway. Dragon's were nerfed after the first week or so, check back on your news feeds. Most online multiplayer games do get tweaked or 'nerfed' after released if it proves to be working only for a minority who are in a unique or lucky position. Remember this game is aimed at attracting as many players as possible, not just those types who would feel quite at home as member of a huge guild who raid in Warcraft 7 nights a week :P
      I agree with you...to be honest I may give up hydras for quite awhile! Once I've had some time leveling and adding stats where I want em perhaps I'll tackle another one. I can't see dedicating 3-5 days on something which pretty much forces me stop battling and stop dragons and stop Keiras.

        I'm wondering if the Hydra has already been nerfed in this latest update? Am doing 2000 more damage on a power hit, no stats increase or anything else changed my end.

          yes... the hydra is officially nerfed! Damage is 20% higher based on my recent power attack.

          Normally, my "ungodly" attacks were getting between 6k and 7k.

          Here is my recent power attack: Steven's attack damages the World Hydra for an UNGODLY amount of Damage[8046]! Cronus, the World Hydra snaps back for 4 damage.

          actually more like a 30% + increase in dmg done = 30% decrease in hydra's life.

            Are they already nerfed? I guess I was one of just a handful of players enjoying the challenge of something that was actually hard to beat.

              Not necessarily hard to beat unless you got too many one hitters in the group.

                This is quite a significant amount; will make a big difference over the course of a battle, especially for the really big hitters!

                  Same thing happened to Dragons when they first came out... most people failed because they had too much life. Now people do more damage per hit and it will die quicker. I think the 500 needed for last stand is way too ambitious. That means each person had to get around 8-9 people to click their link in order to win

                  Considering that it costs one stamina per click, I'd say it's over the top. I don't click links anymore, unless their a Cronos I'm working on. I don't need a paltry 3 xp and certainly don't need 100,000 gold, as I make over fifty an hour. Why should I click on your link?

                    I don't think the Hydra Nerf was necessary. It already takes over half of its HP in damage from Siege Weapons (which anyone in facebook can click), People were already going more damage than in attacks against dragons, and players had a full week to take it down.

                    Seriously, People just wanted to get over with it in a matter of mere hours, not really wanting for a challenge but looking for loot.

                    I for one was glad that Cronus was a Challenge.

                      Well, at least I know my group would have taken him down, nerf or not.

                        The nerf is reasonable. Right now the Hydra are new, so they are FULL attendance. Eventually they will be "old hat" and just like the last 500 dragons you have fought, they will tend not to have every available space filled, and many people will be doing nearly no damage because they just tagged it for a day or 2 and then left.

                        As such, if it takes a full roster of active attackers more than 50% of the allotted time to get the kill, it is too difficult to be handled by a half filled roster with only half of those people actively trying to kill in the future.

                        Yes, the original version CAN be killed, but the chances that it WILL be killed regularly were probably deemed to be too low.

                          So, can I now put "Live beta tester" on my resume?

                            Its like old school raids.

                            Many try and fail, which is the way it should be. Its been 2 days and folks are crying its to hard..man oh man. Why even bother killing stuff? the devs should all just give us the stuff for free.

                            Give me a challenge but make sure I win is not a challenge.

                              It's technically a buff, since original siege weapon damage was reduced. Now it takes more people to reach the 94 million damage.

                              The real nerf goes to player damage, which isn't much of a nerf.

                                No, Player damage is now HIGHER per hit, and Hydra total life is LOWER, so the nerf is completely on the end of the Hydra being easier to kill. UNLESS the percent of the Hydra's total life removed by Siege attacks was reduced by more than the percent of increase in player damage per hit.
