Choosing maps and modifiers is still a much higher difficulty than choosing teammates via a premade so no need to play it down. It’s still a challenging thing to accomplish.
If you want a challenge for the Auric Maelstrom Penance for ASS Title if you don’t have that one yet try playing no Ogryn/Arbites in only the Maelstrom Modifier with the Blessed Enemies, Waves of Specialists and Specialists to Monster with only Randoms. 8 / 10 cases im playing that Map it ends in failure. Especially when its on Snow Map with ‘Swagger’ where everyone keeps falling down at the beginning
I created a new character last month, and just getting to Auric difficulty is impossible after the update, if you don’t have friends to play with (They play NBA 2k or some mainstream garbage). Your progress in Damnation gets demoted for every loss, which happens often with random teams. Just last night, 4 games in a row where I revived downed teammates 10+ times per run (no exaggeration). Sometimes all 3 at the same time. If I go down even once, the run is lost. I hate this new system.
Ah my bad re title then, thanks for the correction. My point and fist waving certainly remains true on the frame though! Why not just add more skulls for a 1m frame? So bizarre.
They make frames all the time and of all the ones to be taken away…it was the most valuable one lol.
I said I made a new character. My other 4 are already in Auric and I play it just fine. With this new system, they added a progress bar to Damnation which gets demoted if you lose a run. Understand?
Skill with one class is not 100% transferable to another class. The fundamentals sure, but it’s normal for a player to take longer to bring one class up to the standard of their others.
Edit: if it makes you feel better, taking longer to master a class does not stop that class from becoming your best/main class later.
I found the new Progression System quite annoying when Arbites was released. Having had to play so many boring Slop Matches to unlock Auric again. I left so many Mates behind to die ‘cause i just rushed through lol
