Is this what the developers consider fun?

If they say anything to indicate that they are toning down the difficulty, the hardcore people who have been QQing for a year will be up in arms.

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.

But I guess now we all have to learn how to min/max. What fun.

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

That's the thing. It's not for us 5000+ players either. I logged in to the new world and immediatly had no fun winning a major bug arkfall. It was just waaaaaaaay more tedious. I then went to a Dark Matter arkfall and came in a narrow second. TE-DI-OUS. The volge siege I won shortly after that appears to be bugged because the volge were wimps. Then I won a major arkbreak (That we failed to barely even hurt the WM) and was so bored doing it that I almost logged off in the middle. It's not for me and my 5176 EGO either.

The more you die the more trion gets there money.

No, just no. That's utterly wrong in so many points..

1) I was also referring to myself since this is when I was born.
2) your bullets tickle
Funny the people act so high and mighty but the only real reason you didn't do it because you weren't aware. Lookout A dude did an exploit that 99% of the defiance world did on a video game. Hey If it was so bad why did Trion replace all my scrip?

Maybe people should try making sure their hands are clean before they judge?

I wonder how many exploits you have done because we all have? Even if it was not our intentions, an exploit is an exploit.

You make me sad.

Although with the patch I was finally able to reach Ego 4000 ( I ran out of perk slots at 3959), and FINALLY got my first ever legendary shield ( Right at the end of a Dark Matter major Arkfall at 5:00 am server reset time). 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.

It's still pretty similar to that even when the scaling works though. With that in mind, if they did fix both the upstairs and downstairs for Threat Level and buffing keep in mind that upstairs it's still going to be rather pointless to try and revive someone unless you have at least a partial medic build (Combat Medic, the perks that increase your damage resistance while reviving a player and Samaritan, which does the same immediately after reviving a player). 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.

[Bonehead]

If that's true, that's kinda funny...

However, Devil's Advocate here, he DID have to put in work to do that.....................

Point taken.

i stopped playing the game shortly after "dlc1" and just came back for a sec when new grenades systems were implemented, that grenade fiasco was the point for me when i decided to finally uninstall the game from my hdd and forget about the rest of my season pass

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
