Is multiplayer harder than solo?

[Netsa]

Played with some friends yesterday, and the enemy buff seemed a little overdone for 3 people compared to solo. Was it just the players/composition, or is it always like that?

depend on the bos but usualy it's easier unless you're teamates sucks. basically depends on players' skill level but some bosses are straight up easier(usually) or harder when coop/solo.

Some bosses are tweaked to be much harder in multiplayer, since otherwise they'd be a joke. Otherwise it might be that the game is scaled to the gear of the best geared person. Unless my knowledge is really too old and I need to relearn a bunch of multiplayer specifics.

All enemies seemed a little too tough, not just bosses, but if it scales to the highest level gear in the room, that would make sense.

Multiplayer is harder in that more enemies spawn and bosses are sometimes buffed a bit. Not that noticeable with 2 people, but in my experience game is unbalanced with 3 people as the minions get a bit too much on some bosses.

Also like others said if your friends had higher level gear than you, enemies would scale up to that so you might end up at a disadvantage.

That definitely happened. I was basically speeding through the game and then joined in with a couple of friends who had been having trouble, so I was geared lower than everyone else.

I've heard about the 3-person jump as well, though.

it does scale to gear lvl

Harder must be or the game will be so easy .

Related question: Since enemies scale to the highest geared player, does that mean I can't party with friends if any of us are too much higher/lower than the others?

it scales upto +3 higher than it should above the host, or upto the highest gear score, whichever is lower

So if any of us are more than 3 gear levels apart, partying is a bad idea?

if someone with +20 weapons joins someone with +0 weapons, the game will be scaled to +3 weapons. feel free to join your low level friends without worry.

Ah, I misread

as whichever is higher. Thanks for answering!

not higher. in the above situation, if it was higher, they'd scaled to +20, which used to be the case back during the release
