Hard Manticore New Cluster Official Console... Holy Crap!

The scope of this conversation console players on official servers on the new cluster. Legacy and dedicated servers with boosted rates should be well beyond the point we are, and PC can no longer pin the boss (I really hope they reconsider).

So we went to fight the Manticore last night. 11 rexes of various levels... nothing compared to the super rexes of legacy, though, and 5 riders.

Everything went as we expected on easy so we healed everything up and went to medium. Again everything went as planned. Then we got to hard...

Only 2 of us were able to go in on hard, but we each had soloed it enough on legacy that we felt pretty confident. Holy crap, we got our butts handed to us. Manticore did so much knock back it was able to free itself 3 times. Manticore continued to do topor damage even after it was pinned. I feel like this really was an appropriate level of difficulty for this boss. Making it so it can free itself and continue to do damage after it is pinned seems fair, but it is also doable for small tribes who prepare. Also makes you think twice about farming it.

In the end we were successful, but lost 3 rexes, 4 more were within a sliver of dying, and 2 passed out on the way home. It really could have gone either way and was very exciting... but probably only exciting because we won. lol.

Has anyone else done Manticore on hard. If so did you feel it was any harder that it used to be on legacy, or was it just because our rexes were not as good?
