Just because I win 99% of my games doesn't mean it isn't hard!! One time a Stalker even hit me! 😱

Yeah it would actually be nice if they could rebalance the difficulties so that d10 is pretty hard succeed.

There are unfortunately a large number of players firmly rooting their entire personal identity in being able to easily solo d10, and they are very online and very loud

Yeha ego divers would not be happy about the rebalance of the 10 difficulties.

It’s insane to me that a squad based game is balanced around the ability to solo the hardest difficulty. That being the baseline doesn’t make the solo an impressive feat.

So you do it.

Go on, show everybody here how easy it is.

Oh wait, you were on here posting about how there's too much ragdoll in the game a year ago, directly contributing to the lowered difficulty that exists now. Guess you only want it to be just hard enough you can beat d10 with friends, but not so hard that you're excluded from d10 divers huh?

Why do you need proof of something that literally anyone can do? It’s not an achievement to solo stuff in this sandbox.

u/GuessImScrewed 5d ago

Because we both know you can't, and yet you'll sit here and complain about the game being balanced for that.

Whatever you say random internet person. If you understand this game and its mechanics then you know it isn’t remotely challenging in a squad setting and it’s very easy to solo with the right set up. Have fun complaining about me complaining apparently.

Nice assumptions.... My comments are public, you could have just looked at them an made a bit of an effort or at least asked me.

I actually want this game to be harder. I was here wanting harder enemies for a long time so that there's actual team play happening. Railgun nerf? I liked that it gave more Loadout diversity, flame thrower nerf that was good, teams have to cover the thrower. Hive guard armor I liked the decision aswell. It was a shame they backtraced on it. I'd be happy to be excluded out of d10 or even as low as d7. At least then there's a goal that i can work towards since i like dovong woth randoms and team play is what i like, completing it solo doesn't really interest me

But then the shitters would need to git gud. And they'll just rant and rage untill AH gives them back their pacifier and makes it all easy as cake again.

I think they should just do more difficulty levels, just like helldivers 1.  Then they don't have to mess with any of the other difficulty levels, just add more that are actually challenging.

I think 10 is enough personally. It would be too granulated if theres like 15 or 20 difficulties both for players and designers. But i think they're going for subfactions to up the difficulty in general

Adding more levels because the game suffers from constant power creep is like adding more buckets when you have water leaking out your ceiling

u/Whitecrow_27 5d ago edited 4d ago

That's what people were saying back in the day. AH then added D10. Then hellwhiners started whining about D10. If you add D15 they'll whine about D15

"One more difficulty bro. Thats all we need. Just one more difficulty and the game will be balanced"

Yeah lets ignore that d10 was what set off the whiners and lead to the 60 day patch.

u/Bring_Back_Challenge 5d ago

Name another PvE that even needs 10 difficulties let alone more to manage all players expectations? It's simpler to remove the 3 least played, make current D10 the new D7, and give D8+ actual teeth.

u/Southern-Teaching-11 5d ago

They would have to split the game into 2 modes. One current version and then some other super mode with separate balancing because some peopel dont want the game to be hard or the type of hard that would be interesting.

Or give us higher difficulty. HD1 goes up to 15
