I discovered that the Twins in Havoc 21 have 50% more health than in Havoc 20. For comparison, Captains only have 25% more. Therefore, Twins become a real curse in Havoc 21. Even if it seems that the game is going smoothly and evenly, as soon as they appear (suddenly like diarrhea) – players start dying like flies. And why? Because there is no practice. Twins (both at once) do not appear in Damnation, Auric and Maelstrom missions (except the story one) and therefore players have no normal experience fighting them. Experience from Havoc 20 is not relevant enough; in Havoc 21 they turn out to be 1.5 times stronger: a difficulty jump.
My proposal: add Twins to Damnation and Auric missions so that players gain the necessary practice fighting two Twins with their full health
I actually like this suggestion. At least for Auric, not sure about Damnation.
Twins are a big part of the havoc learning curve, and players would be a bit more prepared for havoc having learned their mechanics in aurics. Could make it into it’s own mission modifier, like HISTG + Twins or something more creative.
I honestly really wish all missions were always available like VT2. Is it like a server hosting capacity issue or something?
Also like OP’s idea because I’d probably enjoy aurics more now that I’ve become tempered by havoc. Aurics, even HISTG feel kind of easy since you’re a lot tankier. And Twins are a fun fight with unique mechanics and challenges that I like to practice on. Could do that with new builds a little more in Auric perhaps.
I think making the main mission board into a “practice mode” for the intentionally harsh and uniquely punishing modifiers of the Havoc side-game mode is a bad idea. Havoc balance is meant to be different and punish anything but the absolute meta.
That said twins as an auric modifier would be great and used to be a modifier that got removed again. Fatshark for some reason keeps removing modifiers
