Player nerf or Enemy buff?

[MrQuacky]

Yea, I'm not reaaly complaining, ya now. I actually like a challenge for a change... But I've seen 6k Egos telling it's hard for them, imagine for an Ego 4,900 like me lol. This is gonna be a pain...

im 5k I solo conflicts with a fire tacc autopistol. not really that hard.
evangels are easy just hit the shining circles.
the bugs are more of a trouble but not really that hard, kite , kite , kite, kill, kill,kill
:/ my melee fast kil build on the other hand has gotten a lil hard to use on SV. ill stick it to dark matter and other humanoids.

The issue was definitely dmg recieved. If I had my respark, there wouldn't have been a chance of getting by. I think that could be toned down a bit, because anyone running a hurricane, tach or respark in SV will quickly become points makers by picking them off the ground. I wonder if medic is the way to go for first on the scoreboard. Ill have to try it.

This actually makes sense to me now. Last night during the Scrapper Major Arkfall, I was using my legendary Respark Regenerator. However, that's only because I don't have another decent shield. I snagged a purple Hurricane Regenerator, but I haven't tested it out yet.

Still though, I agree with you on damage received needs some work on. Like I said in my previous post, my friend and I last night just thought we would be getting hit the way we do in a Warmaster by the time we hit the boss fight at the end of Scrapper Arkfall. But that just wasn't the case at all and it took the fun we had doing the nodes before the final away.

We did a rage quit last night, until we calmed down and decided to wait to hear some hopefully-soon-to-be news on if they are going to fix this. I haven't logged in yet to see what changes were actually done in this patch though.

It reminded me of when I went into an Expedition by accident with some clanmates who randomly invited me into their group for one. I thought it was a group invite for a Warmaster, cause I'm used to clanmates and friends randomly inviting me into a group for that... but then when I spawned at Alcatraz, I explained to them I never did an Expedition because they were harder for lower and mid EGO level people and I'm still trying to understand how they work. The group was okay with this and had my back. It was fun until the end when it was a massive swarm of enemies and us just dying. However, with Expeditions, I personally can wait to do those until I'm a higher EGO and understand how to build my Rig better... but this frakking new buff to SV enemies feels outrageous when a mid-level enemy can down me in one hit.

It sucks cause while I am just a mid-level EGO, SV was fun for me and my friends cause we liked the challenge, and we loved the reaction of one of our friends who would just be saying "oh my god, what did you... no, no, no... aaaaahhhhhh!" But they had fun with it too. Now it's not going to be much fun anymore cause we're going to stay out of SV, since it feels like a 5000+ Club Only. Well, at least the 5000+ who like this kind of challenge.

SV conflict sites are now easier to do by killing everything guarding the Evangels from what I can see

I actually just crit zerg the Evangels by killing Guardians and evading the adds. From the distance I engaged at, I could hip fire my Sniper Rifle at it np.

[OokamiXIII]

Yeah.... at 4.7k ego I git downed not twice bu three ****ing times at a shrill MINOR. **** the majors. I'm not a crawler but I damn sure was after the patch.

[Fallen_Aingeal]

Like I said before, the same thing happened when they introduced scaling. The DM majors were impossible to finish. Was hilarious the first time watching all of us fly around like rag dolls. Annoying after that to the point that no one was doing them anymore.

Unfortunately, the fix to tone them down also essentially nerfed the rewards{though Trion claims differently}. But, at least it was winnable again...

[Cobra Crusher]

I cant even do the SV conflict because theres so many hellbugs i cant shoot the pheremone secreters. Just non stop waves of bugs. TL10 is ridiculous. I'm done with this game until they fix this bs!

[CraftyRhtHander]

I thought I was the only one until I started reading this thread. I'm glad they made the enemies harder but this is ridiculous; I'm ego 3700 and can't stay alive in the minor ark falls. I'm not a total scrub but admit I'm not the best player it just seems like if I participate in a group event the enemies level up and my gear can't compete. It doesn't even make sense to "supreme" gear because my ego means my shields are still too weak and my guns don't do enough damage. I have to spend the entire time running and getting a shot or two off before getting spanked by some hellbug or shrill...


I liked the game before (thought it needed minor improvements so everything wasn't one shot) but I can't hang anymore. The vets don't have time to revive me constantly so thanks for the upgrade Defiance

[Tauriiel]

Just finished a Miner incursion in SV. Took way, way too long to take down the Evangel's and I went down far too many times both in attempt to revive other player's and because the incoming damage was ridiculous. I actually got one hit killed by a grid. As I mentioned previously, a buff is fine with me. But this? This is a bit much. I don't find any of this challenging or fun. It's just an annoyance.

[Legless Greenleafy]

Now I'd like to say I can understand the reasoning behind giving SV a buff. It was always meant to be a higher EGO area, and even lower ones could solo without a whole lot of trouble. I believe the buff might've been overdone though. There's a difference between a challenge, and being downright unforgiving.
