Jan 2010 - I played the original... fortresses on foot -- manageable.

Did someone order more archers? Mages? (oh and thanks for the CHARGING mages... very funny)

I did my fly-by destruction... hit the ground running and I cannot kill 1 mob before I'm hit from 6 sides with magic and arrows... whiskey-tango-foxtrot people?!!?

No dragon indoors, I will give that to you. But all the ground troops vanish as soon as you take flight? That's crap. Especially now that there's a billion ranged wankers on the ground now.

It's not that I cannot damage them.. if they don't toast me in 3 seconds.. I'm one-shotting mobs now... the dps is there... but the dozens of ranged in those areas is just nuts.

Funny thing to do... charm some tool walking near the door and just watch what's coming for you.. after about 5 seconds he's toast.. hit from every angle (all ranged).

ugh.
