it clog the map pool, nobody play it.
The whole purpose of the Auric mode is supposed to provide you with hardest difficulty
People have to specifically say they play “Auric Damnation / T5” because “Auric” alone is not sufficient.

People play it, and it’s a bridge difficulty. More missions on the board would be good, but A4 has its place.

auric is more of a spawn ratio setting than a difficulty i think , my guess would be they figured it would be a useful step on the way rather than having to drop straight into damnation

ok it might be only in my region (SEA) then 50% of the time there is like no one joining in mid game in Heresy

Possibly! I would say, based on my very limited and very skewed data (from my mod), that it seems it’s less popular than A5 but there are still a substantial number of people who play it.
As an aside: the Auric board being level-gated, but still including A4, is a good thing I think. But again, I totally agree that more active missions would be nice.
yeah fr ad more maelstroms and remove the t4 aurics

I do auric heresy once in a great while or a heresy maelstrom if it looks cool.
If I understand it correct, it will be a little less chaotic compared to damnation and also less hp for mobs, which is fun sometimes
still I think standard Heresy, Damanation is kind of bridge difficulty enough
I’ve played some games there that it more difficult than auric damnation
Damnation is a better bridge difficulty imo because it gets you used to having 1 less wound and the different damage and health values enemies have. Personally I would prefer a constant Monstrous Specialists rotation as thats the most fun in the game.

You’ve made a really great mod btw, Really, thank you so much for making it.
from what I see from the mod it count T5 win as T4 if you played T4 only once right? is data also take that into account?

For as bad as the mission selection is, I agree here.
The next major rework after crafting should be mission board IMO.
I find games in auric heresy all the time. Ive never struggled to find a full game in Auric Her. Where are you getting your info that nobody plays it
sorry I might be overexaggerate a bit much but it really hard to find full lobby there for me compared to T5
I just launch a auric heresy game just to confirm it still hard to find people there, almost 10 minutes in and counting and there is nobody joining it

Aw thanks! Glad you like it!
So, the missions are all logged in the backend exactly as they come (so a 5 is a 5), but if you do a bunch of 5s and then “bust down” to a 4, it demotes your level from a 5 to a 4. It’s the only way to keep the whole system honest/impactful.
The numbers I mentioned above were about the real missions’ challenge ratings people are playing, not necessarily what their level is at the time.

I sometimes enjoy an Auric Heracy. Sometimes for a penance or sometimes for a bit of stress relief.
It’s not always about the challenge. Having an abundance of lower hp chaff to hack into can be quite soothing.
Enemy density is something the lower difficulties sorely miss. I don’t see why density can’t be the same on all levels but hp dropped drastically on the earlier ones. Seems daft that they scale both hp and density when really they should choose one or the other.
Honestly, I do not know why it exists. I’d prefer it be gone. It’s a waste of auric slots imo.

There’s loads of screen realestate for more missions to be added. They don’t need to take away heracy to add more damnation or maelstroms.
Hm, true. But I also feel they should remove uprising or sedition, or whatever tier 1 is. It’s far too easy for even new players.
Sedition is T1, Uprising is T2, yeah I agree T1 is too easy
For current Auric T4 what I would suggest is
just make it guarantee at least one high intensity map for heresy in standard pool. it would just be exactly the same thing but you have to find it in standard page instead
