Just copying my TYM post here.
I did it. Come watch the bad early copy holder beat the completely fair AI after it takes mercy on him.
Crisis averted. Stop cancelling your pre-orders. This mess was overblown.
But speaking honestly, this shit sometimes seems unintentional, because the next tower in the sequence, which one would assume to be harder, was almost a pushover. I had to reset the final fight once because I ate Skarlet's Fatal Blow. But while this Baraka fight took me 2 hours or so to trail and error, the entire next tower took less than 15 minutes. This stuff is so inconsistent.
Only 20 Krushing Blows and 15,000 pints of blood left till I finish this tower. LUL. Here's a video of the next tower and what rewards I get from it:
I've read more than a few people say that these towers have bad balance and difficulty to screw over leakers, and come the 23rd we will get patches to make everything sunshine and rainbows. You guys are not considering the following:
1. If they screw over leakers, they are also screwing over reviewers with early copies, and the bullshit in the Towers of Time will reflect badly in reviews.
2. They don't need to push a patch to fix this. All of this is server side, so they need to hotfix the backend and change some numbers to make you do more damage or to remove some of these ability combos.
3. If they do make the towers easier on release day, it wouldn't be because they wanted to screw with the early copy holders, it would be because of the nascent negativity that's forming in forums and could hit critical mass if this state of things continues.
