The difficulty is 3 things

1) The game ramps up in difficulty at an INSANE rate when you get larger than 4. 6 is boarderline undoable until post 28, at which point it just gets hard and requires a good Inv. (or regen which shines levels 28-40 if well specced)

2) The game requires a VERY tight level spread, if your not all close together in leves, you are screwed. IN regular missions you can get away with it b/c there is not really a big punishment other than that the upper levels guys are getting very little xp b/c the guys are too easy, or the lower levels guys are useless and the highers carry them through the whole thing.

3) Scrappers (one of the largest played ATs) are generally crappy before level 28, when their good defence powers stick in. I just exemplared down to do a missed TF the other day and I and the other scrappers died CONSTANTLY... leading to the rest of the team either dying or running until finally enough people quit that the spawns got small enough to handle

Positron,

What about badges that don't seem to start? Like the restrained one? I was on the Numina TF last night and the DE there were holding me left and right, but the holding badge never seemed to start for me. Another guy in my TF says the badge showed up as started and then he got it after the TF was finished.

Pos, I think this one may be bugged. I spent about 2 hours under the influence of freeze-ray sleep yesterday and got no badge (or progress bar)
I literally had 2 Crey Scientist guys hitting me nearly non-stop and I had the effect on pretty much constantly ( I was not actually asleep the entire time, as it seemed 2 had to stack for that) but I had the effect on me, and I read that that is what counts. And I'm pretty sure that with 2 hours of the effect on me I did have over half an hour of beinga ctually slept.

For those of you curious as to how I did it, I had Fast healing and Reconstruction slotted (and had health), and just put Reconstruction on auto. It was enough to survive the constant damage without instant healing

Very bad form, especially considering how aweful some of the ingame sound loops are. If you have both Integration and INstant healing on at the same time, virtually all other sound in the game is drowned out by the AWEFUL buzzing sound they make. How about just letting us disable looping sounds? Is it so much to ask? Or fix the really bad ones to be less offensive (and on that not fix the graphics of them also. Regen looks like PoS, sorry but that's the only nice way to describe an effect which completely drowns out your hero costume which is suposed to be a cornedr stone of the game)
