Difficulty setting

[Baerrwin]

One thing I am seeing as I am playing and reading here on the forums is that some players are have a VERY hard time advancing in the game and others are finding the content Trivial.

I would love to see a Difficulty setting added. It could work with the power scaling of the MOBs that you already have working within the game. So setting the game on "easy" would have smaller spawns and perhaps less social mobs (ie fewer interlinked mobs that aggro when you hit one). Going harder would make the game think there was more than one person and ratchet up the size of the spawns.

Of course there would be a chance of griefing caused by someone ratcheting up their difficulty and staying close enough to an open encounter to enlarge the normal spawn, and then not engage the enemy. Leaving the other ark hunter out there to face a huge spawn they weren't ready for.

I am one of those that is having problems with the size of the Humanoid spawns. The 99ers with their shields and ranged weapons tend to be very high on the difficulty scale.

This is a MMO. Won't work.

Not on this scale unless you want zero rewards for your quest completions and all that.

As an MMO you have to keep it on a level playing field.

Pulled the words out on my mouth.

wouldnt work for outside the world but i would like to see higher difficulty options for the co op maps eventually, as they are pretty easy i have found

[Cloudsff7]

I agree that it'd probably work for co-op but only if you gave an option during match set up or the group voted for difficulty before beginning or something

I think they should add a difficulty setting for co op with different rewards based on the difficulty.
