I blame myself and a few others for this mess...

[rebtattoo]

Let me back track a bit.

Several months ago, myself and several forum users some who are still here and some who aren't, started a running gag about "going plaid."

It was made in jest about where we wanted to see the game progression follow. And, it stuck! Like, because grenades, Going plaid stuck.

The major problem that we didn't foresee then {7th legion hadn't been released yet.} was that The Company, in its new fashion of taking what the players are doing and going overboard with it, took the idea and ran with it. and, of course, broke it in the process. What we were looking for was "a bit" of progression in the game. "A bit" of a challenge to knock away the doldrum that the game had become for a lot of us.

So, Mr. *******, if you are reading this. I do appreciate the gesture. Time to tone it down a tad.

Volge sieges are still asinine. Amazing how in an emergency site at TL10, me and a couple other people can handle it just fine. But, the sieges, at same threat lvl are just stupid.

On behalf of myself and the others promoting this idea{y'all know who you are!}, I apologize. When we mentioned "going plaid" we meant in a nice steady progression, not overnight!

A lot of people wanted more difficulty in Defiance. When Trion talked about adding difficulty I think we assumed they would add it to the co-ops or maybe build RAIDS. <=== New Content

When they announced open world scaling it sounded like a bad idea on two fronts. The world is too dynamic, it'll be too hard to manage the system so that it is fair for everyone. That has proven true. It also has made me stay away from other players except for public events with my high ego character so I don't eff up someone else's game. No longer will I see someone in trouble at the side of the road and roll off my runner, like Batman, and aid a fellow Arkhunter. High and Low egos can't play together anymore in small groups.

It is like they have installed a Casithan Caste system into the game.

Dont blame yourself or anyone else reb they do what they want. We may make suggestions but they make all the decisions , and personally i think they are to blame for not having people who have actual game playing knowledge of thier own game test these things so they can get real feedback before it goes live.
Hope you have a good day bud ill see u later.

I'll take some of that blame as i always wanted Defiance to be more difficult, as i asked many times, but they just went so far past the line, it is now just a dot to them. All they had to do was make all minor enemies slightly harder and bigger enemies and boss type enemies considerably more. Not this crappy scaling system. That way as people progressed and got better weapons enemies become that little bit easier. With the current scaling system enemies are either too easy or too hard.

Would it of been so hard just to add extra shields/health to enemies rather than this. It just doesn't make sense that one minute enemies die off one shot then only to be nearly invincible. Just doesnt make sense. They should be the same throughout.
With progression making it that tiny bit easier. But this system just throws all that **** at the fan, now what have we got at the end of it all? **** everywhere, complete mess.

Very true be careful what you ask for, because you may just get it.
I feel what people wanted was an option for harder play like in co-ops. Not to have it forced on everyone. I won't even participate in a conflict site anymore if it is TL 9-10. I tag and go.
