Liberation vs Defense Campaigns

[LilLou]

I find the Liberation campaigns more fun due to variety in missions and operations vs every Defense operation having at least one awful escort missions that *still* feel overtuned. That's coming from a Suicide level Liberation experience with completed operations (we'll ignore the extraction success) vs Challenging *at best* for Defense operations cause of the escorts.

It just feels less fun. I'd need it to be tweaked to a more reasonable spawn rate or follow its rules of spawning (bot sends up flare, bug screeches in Sunny D) rather than what it currently does.

Just thoughts. Maybe a little bit of a vent lol.

I think this opinion is more or less unanimous among the community, hence why they nerf that specific mission every other patch

there nervs are not working they should not allow drops directly on players. Or make it so that you have some defensive flak postion that first need to be overrun for them to drop them on your head.

I am not touching thooses defenses until they add more variety to missions.

Even if you tune the escort missions difficulty to your own taste by reducing the difficulty, it's still a bad mission.
It's just boring to play compared to basically every other kind of mission.
Even the classic tower defense elimination missions are more fun because you can try to run through the chaos to get samples and it's over pretty quickly.
The core mission design of the evacuations is the problem, not just the spawn rate and difficulty.
And as you say, they force them into every operation.

That lead to me just not playing defense campaigns. I try it after every patch to see if they have fixed it but until now everything else is just more fun and that's more important to me as a player as some meta campaign goals.
