Been a while since my last poll regarding the game difficulty, and UL&L has dropped, making it easier to get optimal equipment, along with some rebalancing. Here’s a redux of the polls. Responses are private this time. poll poll poll poll Discussion follows. Stay civil, fellas.

1 Im calling this one being skewed towards 70%+ between maelstrom and damnation aurics, almost no xbozos on this forum 2) Classes have very little to no weaknesses. basic number crunching decreases ttk on high threat targets to ~0-1s unless you’re deliberately gimping yourself 3) As previosly stat…

I think the biggest balance passes required right now are weapons. For example, I love the idea of shotguns, but they currently feel kinda rubbish. However, if you nerfed the revolver, that wouldn’t make me pick shotguns any more than I am now. I don’t feel like personally working out exactly how …

Weak enemy spam is boring and easy. Make Shooters (a) Threat Again.

[image] JanZamoysky: I’m not sure how accurate this is tbh, a lot of so called mael difficulty modifiers aren’t hard, they are just annoying: dog, mutant, burster waves, snipers are NOT difficult, just tedious. Yes. It feels like most maelstrom modifiers are relatively easy in comparison to …

I feel like “Play Time” is something that should also be measured here. If the majority of the forum userbase is playing Auric Maelstrom after less than 100 hours of play (already 10x more than the average time investment to beat SM2), that’s a very different thing than if the average respondent ha…

@CobaltNinja Assuming you’ve seen this recent thread: [image] Tweaking the Difficulty Levels Discussion General Discussion Bearing in mind that havoc mode will come out, I’m curious what people feel is the need for adjusting difficulty levels in the standard game mode. …

yeah, great a survey for a forum full of people that “play” but only in auric because they have to look cool even though i doubt half of these people have played in months and even then only with like five mods JUST to make the game easier for “quality of life”, i’m sure…

[image] CobaltNinja: OVERALL, how difficult does the game feel to you? [image] CobaltNinja: How do you feel about player power? Not really that simple that you can say “we’re too powerful/weak” or “difficulty is too easy/hard” Some builds/talents/weapons are too powerful, some are jus…

It’s a strange one to answer tbh, because whilst I might say players are not strong enough - this would come with the caveat that enemies should deal more damage. Can’t have one without the other. I’ve often preferred high damage that works both ways in games. Player can do lots of damage but so ca…

You always keep yapping but never post hours played, penance score or any form of proof you yourself actually play Curious
