Dispari

I do auto, and I haven't been logged in as anyone else.

I don't think that's the problem. Even if they did that, the problem is that -1 was causing level 49 enemies. +0 would make AVs that are normally 54 to appear at level 50. It would still be easier. If they did it the other way, presumably +4 would be making level 58 AVs.

The devs have said there are issues besides just the -1 setting. Disabling it isn't going to solve all the issues there currently are.

I wouldn't say I'm mad about this change. It would take a lot to get me mad about something in this game. Among some things I dislike is the current state of the Mission Architect.

I will say why I dislike this change. This game is just plain easy. I fool around and have a lot of fun doing difficult things. I used to regularly run max level SFs including the ITF, LGTF, and LRSF. Normal content is easy. It's not challenging and not very fun. I can only tolerate normal content for so long.

Back before merits, everyone ran on the highest difficulty. When merits rolled out, people started running them on the lowest difficulty to get to the merits quickly. After a couple of these, I got really bored. Sure I got merits, but I don't want to do an hour or two of really easy content just to get rewards. For a while, I quit doing them.

Then I met a Crab Spider who had the idea of doing an ITF on max difficulty as fast as possible. Being a challenging TF, I jumped on board. It was a tough run, but I had a lot of fun. People actually died, and we learned some stuff about building a wall of a team. We went on to do regular speedruns of the ITF, LGTF, and LSRF. On max. While people left and right were saying the LRSF was hard, we were saying "Let's put it on max. And rush the last fight. Pulling is for chumps!" Now that stuff is fun.

So when the new difficulty appeared, one of my friends quickly said "Hey, let's do an ITF on +4." I was getting ready to go to bed, but for that sort of nonsense, I was in. The last fight was incredibly difficult, but we burst through and finally won after quite a bit of bloodshed. I quickly pondered the possibility of a +4 LGTF, and inevitably a +4 LRSF. And yes, no pulling.

Since then I've also done an all Dominator task force just for fun. I also like mothership raids because of all the level 54 Rikti and the mad chaos that ensues. I play this game for fun, and +0 enemies are not a challenge whatsoever. I'm not angry about this change, but I can't say I'm excited about it either.

As much as I dislike this change, I expect it's for technical reasons and isn't permanent. That's one reason I'm not angry about the change. I'm only disappointed. The same way I am of the MA. I'm patiently waiting for a better change to roll through. In the meantime, there are other things I can do in this game. I'm having fun leveling up some of my new i16 characters, including my new Plant/Earth that was in the all-Dom TF.

Unfortunately, I just won't be doing any task forces until it changes.

That's one reason I've taken to flight recently. Speed Boosted hover is quite manageable.

What about Shield Charge with Lightning Rod and Thunderstrike? I've been thinking of breaking down and making one of those.

At least the issue is known now. Good work by the dev team, and all the peeps who reported drop issues. Though whoever let slip an uninitialized variable should be smacked!

Yay, B_I's back! I can't wait to see some new thread replies that hold up to the above statement.

Um, are you implying that you've never been able to play task forces on anything but Heroic/Villainous?

I didn't mean to imply you could complete them all solo, just that nothing is stopping anyone from trying.

They don't move faster because of slow resist, they move faster because of +speed.

If it was resistable, earth tanks would move faster while in Arctic Air.

I see his point, but it would be nice if the game was more flexible. There are other ways to tell new players that something should be done with X players that doesn't involve messing with other people. Right now it's totally possible to do any TF with just one person. It just requires extra steps. Extra steps that really shouldn't be necessary.

The number should still exist. There should just be a popup that has to be acknowledged that says "This TF may not be possible with less than X people." And not just text in the window, I mean an actual popup so that people pay attention to it. If that's not enough to deter newbies, that's not the devs' fault.

Doesn't hurt to try, right?

Quick question. Is this a temporary fix? Because this prevents us from scaling UP the encounter. I know it's nonsense to have a level 53 enemy spawn at 49, but can't I still make them 54?

I ask because I'm crazy, and recently did a +4 ITF, and am contemplating a +4 LRSF and LGTF. TFs are fun, but not if we have to run them all on easy mode at +0. Hopefully you're looking at a solution to make it so we can pick our difficulties again, but not make them easier? Because TFs on +0 are not challenging and not any fun. I can get way harder, more challenging content just doing newspaper missions, and that's just silly. A task force being defaulted to easy is like... nonsensical. I'll understand if this is temporary, but please don't tell me this is how it's going to be from now on.

And while you're at it, tie merit rewards to difficulty maybe? Please?

My Shield Scrapper is pretty good at "hard controlling" enemies by one-shotting all minions when shield charging into unaggroed enemies.

Wait, damage is a hard control? Doesn't that mean every Scrapper set has hard control then? Because no Scrapper set lacks in damage output.

Yeah, this a million times. Instead of tweaking the merits all the time, make it so each difficulty has its place.

And make there be a reason to run a TF on +2 difficulty, or even +4. I did a +4 ITF the other day and it was really nuts.
