Hey love the game so far played solo all the way up until world tier 5 the more patches you release the dumber the AI seems to get is it just me? They dont seem to flank as much they dont hit as hard and they seem really weak now. Heroic feels like how the challenging felt a few weeks ago.

All the discussion on the NPC difficulty changes is appreciated! I do think blaming the changes on solo players is a bit unfair, as the community was saying that the scaling for group play was actually creating some of the problems. This is just from my opinion as someone who was reading a lot of difficulty threads when the game first released.

I know that once you've completed difficult content, it can feel weird to see it made easier for the people following in your footsteps. That being said, we're talking about content that is catered toward dedicated players (Challenge and Heroic difficulties). I don't think the goal was to make those difficulties "casual", but to make the difficulty something that dedicated players found rewarding instead of feeling like the AI had too many unfair advantages.
