They could also have made BLA harder, adjust doesn't imply that they made it easier.
Altough it's kinda obvious they made it easier ofc, to bad...

How did you get seven toons on BLA when the max party is 6?

Pretty dissapointing , the whole BLA arc was managable in NM with H/H and shouldnt have been made any easier imo

There's a vanguard scout standing outside the entrance to the eye of the north, saying that he doesn't think Thackeray is dead, and that we should search Kryta for him.....no quest offered though....are we supposed to treat this like the weekly Nick hunt?

There's a developer update as well.

This is their explanation for changing Battle for Lion's Arch.

Battle for Lion's Arch Difficulty Adjustments

For many people, "The Battle for Lion's Arch" has been a stopping point in the War in Kryta content. Trust me, I've seen the threads on the forums, and I've read the discussion pages on the wiki. In the interest of helping people progress to see the new content, we've toned down this final battle some.

In the future, we will be pursuing options for new content that will allow us to have Hard Mode versions of quests. The idea is that people who wish to can simply play through and enjoy a new story at a reasonable level of difficulty. For the people that are looking for better rewards and a greater challenge, that option will exist for them as well. Both are completely valid ways of playing the game, and they do not have to exist in a manner that is mutually exclusive.

OMG you people suck. They finally return to GW:B and all I read is a bunch of whining about BB not being nerfed and no derv update.

Unless they Overpower dervs, I won't go back to mine anyway.

I'm just glad they are starting the next chapter.

Besides, has anyone gone to check out the lake in Giant's Basin yet? That is the last sign of Thackeray.

"If you've finished "The Battle for Lion's Arch" and reported his disappearance to Gwen, then it's time to begin your search for signs of the missing Lt. Thackeray. Hint: your first stop is somewhere in Kryta. Finding the appropriate items will allow you to revisit the past through visions in the scrying pool, seeing through his own eyes where Keiran has gone."

Anyone remember where Thackeray went during the running portion of WiK?

He and langmar escaped through the ocean in giant's bay(?), it's the northeast area of north kryta province.

Ha! Nice find.

I for one am glad they are making Battle for Lion's Arch a wee bit easier. Not that I don't like a challenge, but was having some trouble with it even with real people and it felt more like Hard Mode than Normal Mode. Maybe I just suck! Hopefully they'll make this stuff work in Hard Mode in the future for you masochists. :P
