"hi-intensity engagement zone" breaks the difficulty

I just did a difficulty 3 which was harder than a difficulty 4, how does that make any sense? Just list the mission as a difficulty 4.

I definitely wouldn’t say high-intensity Malice is harder than normal Heresy.

its not even harder than heresy low intensity. Heresy is just insane.

Eh, it can be.

Hi-Intensity is basically RNG. I’ve had Hi-Intensity Heresies being a walk in a park and I’ve had the same thing with almost constant pressure. The fact that it spawns everything at a higher rate and number makes it prone to more RNG. Getting the wrong multiple Specials at the wrong place in the map can make it extremely more difficult than a “balanced” game on a higher difficulty.

In short Hi-Intensity throws balancing out the window a bit and comes to RNG a bit more than otherwise. Which is fine, I like Hi-Intensity at times…problem is I seem to always be playing it.
