[Chocolatelover67]

Nooo, no no, no DEFAINCE gear to be sold by TRION... move along, nothing to see here! Sorry bit of a hobby horse for me. How the !@*&#^ can they not get the merchandise rolling when they cash grab at everything else?

LOL so true!!!!!

I'm surprised syfy haven't got their fingers in the merchandise pie

People should read the facts before whining like *****es. I copied and pasted the below from another source.
If your high ego effects another persons mission by boosting the baddies then the low level player will be buffed to compensate.


Enemies will not only adjust their levels and quantity but their difficulty tier as well with upgraded enemies changing how they look for easier identification. Low EGO rating players will be able to stand in fights with these high-level foes by means of a special temporary buff.

That's how it's supposed to work but the reality is quite different for lower and medium level players.
For example on the test server my low level toon gets a boost to 4500 for threat level 10 mobs.
They are still virtually impossible for me to kill.
You may be there as a low ego toon with a buff, but you won't be standing.

but if you are near them and they buff (which is not the same as being higher ego) and don't help them, they get slaughtered. Lets say I'm ego 5200 and I go near an ego 500 player, they get buffed to 4500 (which is barely good enough to compete with the enemies) and I just stand there, not fighting, they get the beat down. Were justa few hours away from finding out for sure, but it will be fun to drive around in a raptor with 4 ego 5000 players constantly changing egos and enemy types. Not to mention if a high ego player leaves the area, sure everyone gets debuffed, but the elite enemies stay the same.

Maybe their 401k accounts will start seeing deductions?

One thing to keep in mind is the mob's leash is longer than the buff zone. If you run for cover, they can follow you outside the buff zone. Much bleeding ensues.

I've experienced the exact same thing.

And this is how The Griefing works. I completely see that players like fletch could misunderstand. Gotta love how polite he was at displaying his ignorance on his very first forum post.

[fletch]

Well if I'm wrong or misunderstood then I apologise. I guess we all find out shortly.
