Before 1.7 Goblins was already tough and quite difficult to avoid them it first. I wonder how you could have feel it different. It's not the first time I see a behavior attributed to 1.7 when the description fit perfectly previous behavior.
I disabled AB because it's just a full set of gameplay change I don't like, but if 1.7 description is right this shouldn't change fights when new IA is activated.
The difficulty was medium and that's right there's this change, well against animals, all, not only wolves, it's so much more easy that it's still more easy at medium difficulty and against two at same time.
Against other, perhaps not all but too many, try the click feast, you clearly didn't and it's still a huge design hole, with the new weird companion behavior wich is the second anti gameplay change (but typical fan change).
First stop focusing on the damn goblins I mentioned them in passing because when I posted I just had a fight with a bunch of them. They were annoying the hell out of me because they backed me up into a corner and preceded to knock the stuffing out of me. I'm talking about most of the opponents you come across. I had only a few where I could hit, back up a second and rehit everytime. Buffalo are easy to take down like that. Wolves too as long as you do not get surrounded. Now that I think about it most animals can be taken down like that, but I still have to be careful. For example: I was just taken out by Silver wolves because I did not time my movement correctly a few times. They did not autolock me to death. I just got sloppy and just started trying to "click feast them to death." Did not work.
Second you are one funny dude. I love this little dickish comment "try the click feast, you clearly didn't" Why in the world would I be going through the trouble of commenting here if I did not already try it. I already said that I tried that and got my butt handed to me on a silver platter.
Now answer me this, how do you get past their blocks? I am talking about normal orc or human opponents NOT goblins or animals(let us just avoid those little green guys since you seem to think that only someone with rose colored glasses on thinks they are improved) I try just clicking away and get stopped by a block after at most 3 hits. Sometimes 1 hit then block, but never had a click feast last longer than 3 hits. What weapons are you using? I use both the sword and staff, but I'm trained in the staff. With either of them if I try to just swing away it does not work.
