    This is getting ridiculous.

    vs bombers: the 5 D's - Dodge Dip Dive Duck and DODGE! - Believe it or not, they do take breaks from firing and you can get bursts of fmg done within those breaks and clear them out fairly well TL10 solo.

    I personally like the way the game is currently, but I understand why others don't. Honestly, there should be two servers to choose from when you log in. Normal and Expert. However, I think the rewards should be better for those playing on the Expert server. It's only fair, right? Unfortunately this would never happen because it would make both sides happy.


    So you're saying people who complaints about the scaling mess and the Cluster F problem ( Which is like 90 percent of the population in this game) should be labeled inexperienced and have the option to go to an "easy" level server where scaling doesn't reach level 10 or doesn't exist at all and the other 10 percent which would be labeled as experts (including you) should also have the option to play in a so called expert server. Just because you like a mess doesn't mean it stops being mess anyway. But i'm not gonna get sucked into your subtle and sublime way of saying "I'm Better than you". I guess it's just a matter of perspectives. I'd like think that the only EGO I have is the one that this game offers.

    Island of Lost soldiers wasn't as bad as the motherload. They seriously beefed up those 99ers though. It takes overcharge + damage spike to effectively mow through those suckers. Maybe it's because I don't have an effective electric gun ? The warriors are nice and easy, take a gun with high crit to their butts and they're finished. :D

    I don't exactly know how you got the "I'm saying I'm better than you" part. It's not what I was aiming for if it seemed like it. All I was saying is people should have an option. If you like the way it is now play on the expert server. If you like the way it was before, or a somewhat nerfed version of the server now, play on the the normal. People who like "bulletsponges" would be happy, and those who don't would be happy.

    I don't think the dozen people on that server would be happy with sieges then. But the rest of us will be having a great time on the nerfed server.

    If two servers like that were made, Dracontius would be alone on the expert server, the rest of us on the "nerfed" server lol.

    Well ok... Let's say you weren't egotistical about it. And I apologize for that. But again..You're advocating for the 1% of the entire gaming population of this game including yourself who likes they way the game it is right now. If you think bullet sponge is a good thing and you love it, well good for you. But like I said before. Just because you are a sucker for a good challenge and you see it as a challenge and not as a bug/glitch/problem as 99.9% of us do. That doesn't make it stop being a problem... I'm sorry..This is not a choice..This is a problem that the devs of this game must deal with and not to leave it as it is just because a diminute amount of people who plays this game likes to have this problem. And whether your did not intend to sound egotistical.. To claim a server just for you and your 1%, that automatically makes it and egotistical statement.

    99.9% of statistics are made up. Thanks for proving that point. There are a lot of EGO 5000 plus players on the servers and even if there was no dynamic scaling in the game a significant portion of the low EGO players don't stick around much longer once they've completed the storyline missions. Further, if you read Midori's posts carefully you would note that Midori's clan mates that are low EGO generally also like the higher difficulty level.

    Lot's of MMO's dedicate large portions of their server farms to supporting content that is meant for higher level characters only. This is nothing new. If the server population for an expert version of the game is small then it wouldn't require the same server resources as a standard version. Engaging in hyperbole by calling a player's suggestion egotistical doesn't magically make it so, particularly when that assertion is only supported by fabricated statistics and false assumptions about allocation of server resources.

    I don't think it's a good idea to divide MMO populations by difficulty level though. Good MMO design brings players of all ranges together to the same open world. It's part of what makes a great MMO experience. The norm is to simply level gate map areas within the same virtual world supported by the servers but that would require dramatically changing a relatively small open world map, and it's not workable because all the mission story lines take you all over the map.

    The devs need to find a balanced approach to dynamic scaling that is acceptable to the entire spectrum of players that they have yet to achieve. I honestly don't have a lot of faith that they can do that but maybe they'll get it right after a few more tries. If they don't, it's highly probable that the free-to-play launch will be a disaster.

    I still don't see how it's egotistical. How does liking a harder difficulty make anyone egotistical? It's just how they like to play. Just as others like to play on lower difficulties. Does that mean they suck? Absolutely not!
