    Loot Crate Scaling TU10

    According to TU 10 patch notes:


    • Difficulty Scaling
      • Regular loot from loot containers in Missions now scale with mission difficulty
      • Targeted loot from loot containers in Missions now scales with mission difficulty
      • Loot containers part of living world activities now scale with global difficulty


    WRT to the third one, if loot containers part of open world activities are scaling then how can I still be getting purples from Elite Territory control events on Heroic?

    On the third point.

    Are you talking about the actual Blue crates you open after doing the Elite territory.

    Or are you talking about random loot crates within that area.

    There is a specific difference between the two types.

    Only reason i ask is, the loot boxes/crates that are an actual part of the activity (ie: the reward crates) are the only ones that scale, any other loot box within that area does not, and that includes Faction boxes.

    If you are getting purples from the actual reward crates then screen shot/vid and post it for the mods/devs. (because that shouldn't happen.

    PS: never ever had apurple from the reward crates yet.

    Never seen this happen with rewards crates either. Then again, nothing is certain with this game.

    Except the BT grenade launchers, they always hit 100% of the time. :P

    I’m referring to the blue loot crates associated with the territory control event, not random green ones. I didn’t think it should happen either, but sure enough I pulled purple from one of them after event on Heroic, which of course makes me question if they are scaling at all.

    Several folks here are suspecting issues/bugs with difficulty/player scaling. This would explain a variety of weird symptoms, like this one, control points going back to normal and wildly varying difficulty/NPC scaling.

    It might be a bug with that particular location. Post screenshots of the loot lying on the ground the next time it happens, along with the map location. On PC, hit ESC to bring up the agent menu, and the location will be displayed in the top right:

    I've had it happen in more than one location. Here's one from a territory control point at the West End from just a few minutes ago.

    This is what I mean by loot lying on the ground - the screenshot shows that the world difficulty is on challenging



    Map location:


    It's quite possible that multiple, or all, territory controls are bugged. Providing the map location would help confirm this.

    Oh and to make things even more crazy, just done an ELITE Territory control point and got

    The Diamondback Exotic (Not from the reward crates) from a normal loot box inside the Elite Territory
