Difficulty levels are absurd

[Sanguinius]

As a solo player this game has probably the worst scale of difficulty ever

[Muscarine]

The difficulty's fine, the playerbase on the other hand is widely terrible

What are you talking about specifically?

[Ash]

huh? most problems come from not knowing basics - dodging, blocking, managing stamina and so on. On malice you can win by holding w+m1 but heresy++ requires more overall awareness and common sense. That's all about "difficulty spike"

[NohJP]

Suffering is indeed the motto of upper-levels.

[Sifer2]

Seems about right to me. Malice = Normal. Two levels below are Easy, and Very Easy. Two levels above are Hard, and Very Hard. Auric is Insane. Now whether randoms can handle higher difficulties is a whole other thing. Especially since this games matchmaking doesn't force different class types.

[DotNL]

yeah it could be a little harder even, many would enjoy that for premade groups

[Mr.Pessimism]

listen as a solo who plays with randoms all the time i will say this. they need to split the game one side for premades and one side for solos like myself. the premade side can be strait satanic for all i care but for the randoms i play with sometimes they fail on tier 2 of the difficulty.

sedition - a walk in central park
uprising - a walk central park at night. Oh, a mugger! BUMM!
malice - jogging with the elderly
malice maelstrom - annoying neighbors
heresy - guard duty at a combat base
damnation - first tour in the killing fields
damnation auric + - Do or die!
damnation auric mealstrom - In the midst of battle I'll have no fear!
Killing the twins of hardmode - In the face of death I'll have no remorse!

It's not the difficulty scaling, it's the (lack of) levelgate...etc.

For example, lv30s fresh out of tutorial(which lv1-30 is) with garbage gear are allowed into hardest difficulty.

From experience it's definitely the lack of game knowledge that holds people back in the higher difficulties.

I ran an auric maelstrom about an hour ago and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ was a mess. Between people not knowing to stick together on pox hound waves or monstrosities, skipping medicae or waking a daemonhost which caused a wipe. Lawdy

Regular T5 is a Cakewalk. With the wrong players it mutates into a T7. So the players are mostly the problem. Mostly i look at the gear and i could vomit or they dont know what a "ping" is, they dont know how to use the chat, they run off while you are downed/captured and dont realize anything around them and they dont clear the area.
Game is fine balanced i rly enjoy it but not the players that dont belong on the higher stages.
And the last prob would be it seems they dont want to improve since they refuse to communicate.

The biggest difficulty in auric is crossplay.

[MeatRack84]

the more you play, the less absurd it seems
