    PSA - balance changes incoming in TU8.4 (March 25)

    For those about to start another thread on difficulty/sponginess, but who never bother reading the patch notes, tomorrow's maintenance will make you happy:

    Hopefully any further threads on this subject will be merged into one giant whine fest

    This is part that annoyed me, punishing those solo players again. Meanwhile there's at least 2 different bugs where the revive hive fails to deploy and work as Intended.

    It says 'a bit harder'. It also says they reduced NPCs damage output on all difficulties, so maybe it somewhat evens out. Lets wait and play it first before everyone starts yelling at them.

    Yes. The news I was hoping for.

    I know it might be cumbersome for others but I personally like it as I found heroic not that challenging as it should be if you ask me.

    I have been finding heroic stuff fine solo, I have even added all directives to the LZ stuff as the rolls are much better on loot.
    Haven't on missions as you only get one chance, dying on CPs doesnt really matter.


    Not sure what they are making harder but I'm fine with the difficulty going up a tad, TTK etc. Dont think they need to hit any harder though as they do enough damage already.

    Agree on the hive part, it's pretty useless at the moment, especially against the outcasts, 9/10 it fails.
    Their fire seems to be far higher damage than the cleaners.

    In what way is this any good news?
    It's hard enough as it is to go up against "Level 4" enemies.
    To be perfectly clear, the devs could instead lowered the values for elites (as those are the biggest problem), but kept the rest of the initial difficulty intact. It is very challenging as it is to play solo through a stronghold, with all the tech/grenade spam going on (especially against Black Tusk).

    I do not understand why the difficult and challenge will be less hard .. is easy but the loot is really bad ... I start to have nice loot in heroics and make this level harder is absurd it is already very hard for a lot of players ... there are a lot of solo and duo players in my clan and they think to stop the game if it gets even harder and I also have friends outside of clan who think the same thing ... I will test with this patch coming and I will see if I continue or not
