so look… im all for difficulty but theres GOOD difficulty that challenges the player in a way that CAN be overcome through good positioning, tactics, and good mechanical skill to pull it all together but than there is high intensity which firstly, REMOVE IT FROM THE RANDOM AURIC LIST AS A POSSIBILITY… if your going into auric, you shouldnt be able to be hit randomly with a high intensity mission just full stop… if you quick play auric, NO random high intensity… beyond that, i think it needs to be re-evaluated in a general sense at least for just how intense its allowed to get in terms of enemy spawn desnity because legitimately, me and my team have been hit with 5 snipers, 10 waves of double pox bursters intended to punish poor stamina management while we are getting smacked around by 3 flak rager hordes and a mauler horde mixed in while we keep getting jumped at by muties and dogs, with trappers constantly trying their luck as we have to HOPE that they dont get us with on another note real quick, if a sniper and trapper DONT have a direct line of sight at the player, they SHOULD NOT be able to shoot under the pretense that ya know, their shot is block in a lore sense but in a gameplay sense, if they are shooting you IN A HORDE, its kinda screwed on your part cause often unless your an ogryn, your NOT gonna be able to dodge which is WHY high desinty specialists auric is so much hell i avoid it like the plague cause your GOING to get surrouned so bad that you and your team CANT dodge but you ARE going to be shot by 8 different snipers from a full 360 while another 5 trappers keep taking podshots at your group and catch them cause they cant dodge… full stop tho back to the point, high intesnity needs a MAJOR rework along with high desnity specialists in maelstrom cause frankly, theres hard and than theres functionally impossible given how broken the resource drain is that if you DONT have a hive scum, veteran, smite psyker, and than your choice of a arc support skitarii with servo skull, arbitrator with infinite voltaic mines, or ogryn with hard crowd control build, your NOT completing it no matter how far you make it especially on some of the worse maps for high intensity…
