Hi there folks.

Is it me or the game is much easier since Mxl 2017 ? Corpse spawning in town makes it much easier to return to an uber over and over until you succeed. Some of them previously having pretty steep gear checks are now doable with minimal gear and knowledge. I don't mind these changes at all, but am I the only one thinking that way ? Playing singleplayer btw

For reference purposes, I did Xazax, Quov Tsin, Rodeo, Kabraxis and Belial to name a few with t6 gear on my Holy Melee paladin. Doing Yshari atm. Got around 50 stat signets. Except for the last 25% HP of Kabraxis, no sacred armor cheese. I remember struggling so much on some of these, especially Kabraxis.

one of the main points of making it work like it does now is that now SP and MP are equally as hard, whereas before MP allowed you to rejoin your instance and have another go at the uber with the mobs staying dead

To be fair, Holy melee paladin is clearly overpowered right now, compared to previous.

Easier for single player, yes. Realm players who tell you they were recovering their corpses are lying clock-winders.

Like Gekko said, all it really did was level the playing field. I think there were other things that changed that made the game easier but for some reason people are putting it all up to auto corpse recovery.

As it was already stated twice, this change, at least for now, simply brought single player and multi player to the same step (in this particular aspect of the game), seeing as players on multi player could simply keep a town portal up and rejoin (which pretty much was the same as corpse spawning in town, just a tad bit more tedious).

On the other hand, it should be noted that this change is actually a preparation for the upcoming sigma patch, where in many cases you will be locked out of a level once you've died or simply left, forcing you to try again from scratch, both in single player and multi player.

Am I the only one who considers death failure?
As a SP/self found/no exploits etc, if I die, I exit and try again. If I can't do it without dying, then I can't do it.
Dying 20 times to complete a quest isn't really completing a quest.

TBH, my fave version of Median was when there were still punisher traps.
We're talking 2010 or something.

That shit made me lol. Open a chest and get nuked. Lmao.

Naah man he is right, the punisher nova trap was so awesome, HC people cried so hard that it was removed, rip.
