I've always wondered why people who complain that things are too easy don't just stop min/maxing. If they want a challenge so badly, use **** shields and weapons with no grenades, stims or spikes.Quote:

Funny, not so much fun. Hopefully the 1.501 patch tweaks some of the scaling.

The experience overall was not very enjoyable. I don't mind tougher enemies. But there's a fine line between tough and strength in numbers. You just can't add tougher enemies and top of that double or triple the amount of those tougher enemies. There's gotta be some type of balance between those 2 levels of difficulty. I remember the same thing happened with Borderlands 2 when playing on Legendary Vault Hunter mode. A level 46-47 player fighting against a horde of level 54-55 enemies.
So that being said. My feedback to the devs is not to nerf the difficulty and/or scaling of the enemies we face. It's the amount of those new and more difficult enemies that has to be reduced. Last night playing on a Warmaster arkbreak was simply a painful experience. Outside the arkbreak Raiders and Volge combined = people lying on the ground like squashed flies. Inside the arkbreak it was even worse to the point it was laughable. The overwhelming amount of now so called ark enemies was so ridiculous, I was already laying on the floor with the press x to revive yourself message on my screen the very first time I entered. The temporary ego buff( mine was to 4750) didn't have any type of boosting effect whatsoever. So strength in numbers...that's the one thing that has to be fixed.
Ohhh and btw... If you Trion peeps are doing these on purpose to "Trick"me (Pun totally Intended) into buying the new DLC. Sorry It's not gonna work.
Am I correct in concluding from the lack of a Threat Level indicator on your screen that dynamic scaling was broken upstairs in your Major Arkbreak? That's odd because it worked in the Arkbreak I did last night. It was only broken downstairs.Quote:

Without them you'll end up dying most of the time trying to revive players until the group manages to wittle down the number of Volge. I realize in that video you were probably using it to experiment since you were getting slaughtered regardless of what you tried, but if your BMG isn't updated to close your EGO rating you're better off using your guns. Even with the Threat Level buff it's inadequate to the task of keeping players from dying against Ark Volge. My Legendary BMG almost matched to my EGO rating was barely adequate to the task of making any difference at all.
while scaling could use some toning down. The new instant death too hard to shot down everything solo etc. will eventually leads to people switching their good old max DPS/reasonable survivability comboes to other like revivie all people in one try get less dmg while reviving get less dmg after revive, increase dmg after revive etc. Before everyone run the same tactics now there is more to it, but since this game is far away from organized large team work the scaling is too much for most.
Point taken.Quote:

though was still checking this site with a minor hope to get back into the game for some reason , what started as a minor hope turned into watching a comedy show by reading how much more the devs can ruin their own game , and what im reading right now makes me really laugh , i always though it cant get any worse but i always being proved wrong , though after this it will be really hard to top it im sure they still can somehow
im sorry for you guys , but obviously you came too late to the party and i recommend looking for other games, i for example play a certian ps3/ps4 mmo now and couldnt be more happy because there the devs do a great job on fixes and new content and it really shows they care about their game
