    Volge make them TOUGHER

    Finally you manage to make an encounter that takes some effort.
    Still need to be tougher challenge or scale better for lvl and participants.

    I think they are balanced just fine as is, they could add a minor arkfall with the volge in it as a test to see how well they work out in that format. If things look good they could do major arkfalls and even sieges later on.

    Wasn't they planning volge sieges? I may be mistaken though but I'm sure I heard it somewhere

    IIRC you're not mistaken.

    IMO The plague sieges were probably serving as a test of sieges so that the Volge sieges DLC can be tweaked to work smoother from their start.

    It's also why I've had no real problem with plague sieges vanishing. Yes they were great fun, but the Volge sieges would lose some impact if we had sieges running constantly until they arrive.

    I guess it could work quite well if the Volge start appearing more as season 1 runs to a close and then at/shortly after the season end they start attacking in full-on sieges.

    I think they are too strong as they are. I'm only around 400 ego and they are impossible to solo and make missions extremely frustrating. I'm at the point to where they become a roadblock if they spawn close to a mission I'm doing. Please adjust these things to be more inline with the rest of the mobs in game.

    I thought Nim was very much doable at 400 Ego assumed this would be also.
    Good though, an Emergency that can't be soloed by starter characters.
    Or I guess also with people with no skill or thought.

    That is kind of mean and not very helpful. So because a person is struggling with a enemy type they apparently have no skill, no thought process and we would like events that new players and characters can not complete?
    I do not want it to be that way. I actually think the volge might be a encouragement for new players to get more socia and get together with others.. Still it is a point though I played the game for 2 weeks without ever talking to or hearing another player and I am sure the volge would have kicked my *** then even if I can solo them now. If you wish to make this an elitist game where only people of a certain skill level can play or have an opinion - your games will become boring too.

    I like the volge how they are but I do think reduced spawn rates in mission areas would be useful or scaling them for solo encounters. If I misread your post I apologise nuance is lost in the typed word. I just prefer a friendly helpful community rather than one where people can't be thoughtful towards other members.
