Bug: co-op + world-tier scaling | Forums

[Dlayknee]

If I (lvl ~15) group up with my lvl 30 buddy in world tier 2, I get basically 1-shot by anything. I can do adequate damage to the mobs, but if they land a shot on me it's all over. It wasn't like this when he was simply higher level than me - it only started after he went to the next world tier. Could there be something up with the way it is scaling levels when traversing world tiers?

Hi Dlayknee! The World Tiers are a dangerous place and you would need to be atleast level 30 with some decent gear to go into Tier 2+.

Thanks!

Yeah but you're supposed to be puffed so you can still play together.

It's a feature and It's not working correctly.

Agreed. If there's a hard division and you aren't supposed to group with people in higher world tiers then grouping mechanics should be changed - either you should literally be unable to group with them ("the other agent is in a more dangerous zone!"), the lower-level player should be buffed to a comparable rank like would otherwise be normally done, or the higher-level player should be down-ranked to the lower level player's ranking.

The way it is, it isn't very much fun. :-\

Hello.
I tried to join someone who were starting the game (to help him, with friends its quite better).
I am 30 WT1 and him, lvl 2-3.

When i join his game, he can deal a good amount of damage on ennemies but he gets 1-shot. (for me, the ennemies are at lvl 29, for him they are lvl 3, or 28)
So, it seems the issue do not depends of who is the host, but occur when there a need to level scaling.

In Dark Zone, it works very well though

PS : this problem happened even when i wasn't lvl 30 (was lvl 22-23 with someone lvl 14)

It appears there is a bug with co-op scaling. My friends and I can't play because damage seems to scale but armor does not. For example I'm level 15 and they are 4, 5 and 7 respectively. They all take 1-2 bullets and are dead. And I find I go down so much faster too.

And the 5 and 7 decided to play just the two of them and it worked much, much better. They could actually play together.

Note: we were playing PvE only. We haven not tried the DZ.

Very disappointing because I want to play with my friends. That means I have to stop playing the game so they can catch up to me, which may take forever. Thus, I can't play with my friends right now!
