Difficulty is absurdly imbalanced!

I still think this whole scaling thing did not need to happen

It's not about the game.

It's about selling arkforge.

Sadly. That is the truth.

And here I thought this thread was about how the threat level is way too low when soloing Arkfalls and conflict sites. Killing things with one shot that's not even a crit with a 16.5 rpm weapon makes me feel more bored than powerful. As far as EGO powers go ... it's only needed for instant reloads since I already generate plenty of overkill without it.

That being said, not being above 5000 EGO some events higher than TL6 can really overwhelm you, so I can understand some frustration. Then again, I'd rather play a really hard game than one that's too easy.

I would rather play a game where my sniper rifle can one shot anything which becomes a pain at higher threat levels.

I know..........

Well then why not just increase the number of enemies pouring out the higher the ego rating you are at an event, rather then the scaling?

They can spawn even 1 mil monsters with low EGO - even if server will not blasted, 5k+ EGO player will kill them all in a few seconds.

The way it is now, yes. The way it was before, no.
Ego progression was introduced in dlc 5 to make weapons obsolete unless upgraded with arkforge. It is one of the ways Trion monetizes the game now that it is F2P.

It's not about the game, it's about the money.

Like always, you are right on spot.

I was never overly bothered by the scaling - I just plugged away until I stopped dying as often.

Sensible load-outs will even have you starting to win events when you've barely hit 1k.

Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge...

Why? Can you explain?

It's called horizontal progression. Game companies should try it sometime. Or a hybrid of it. So that top level is 4x beginner level (or even 2X). It would work well in a game like this.

Don't you mean lockboxs or luckboxs as I call them.
