    The Color Purple

    I was playing on "Heroic" for awhile, then I got a little tipsy and tried out "Legendary", which was an interesting experience to say the least, but even more interesting to me was that after I got bent over by tons of bullet sponges decided to switch the difficulty setting back to "Heroic" mostly all of the gear I collect/loot now is purple.

    What should I make of that? A "Pterodactyl".....?

    Might help if you tell what content you were doing. CPs? Summit? Missions?

    You did control points on heroic and got purple drops? That's odd.
    Missions too, although if you open chests in missions they're just normal difficulty loot.
    Summit tho...that shouldn't be dropping purples on heroic.

    I'd say to double check your world settings and maybe restart the game. There have been a lot of weird server-side problems this last week. Especially surrounding difficulty changes not saving even after manually setting them.

    Good point. I will switch back and forth between the settings and see if there's any difference. Usually I don't mind getting lower rated loot as I still sell it, but getting purple items in such a high volume caught my attention.

    Constantly for a couple days now. Everything was fine until I switched it to normal myself (Don't judge me. You try running a mission with an air mouse and TV remote. lol). After switching to normal, it wants to stay there.

    Game is broken , went to summit to play the challenges as they reset when i finished floor 100 .. got to floor 20 heroic solo , went to add another challenge and this is when i realised the challenges reset at top..so reset to floor 1 disabled the directives and picked my challenges , went in to lift and went to enter game , bang i am dead ?.. tried again bang dead , again bang dead ?..floor 1 door 1 could not enter ?.. never been killed so many times trying to enter a game ?.. eventually got in and made it to floor 3 lol , this game is a joke , got to door again bang dead , i got so mad with the game i hit f4 and came on to the forums to tell them where to stick it all and get banned from forum, but i managed to cool down and turn off ..
    Started the game again , and open world another build another character another area , still on heroic went to kill named boss bang i was dead ?. wtf is going on went to challenge same thing ?. went to hard and i could kill again ?...
    I always play solo ,and all my builds are 99% maxed , they are good when working ?. just got to shd 1000 and never felt so weak and ****ty ?.. Game is broken and the servers , builds get blamed.

    Hyper....have you tried completely reinstalling the game? I know the game has bugs, but you're the only one Ive seen suffer this kind of repeated severity. It honestly sounds like something in your client is severely corrupted to create that same problem over and over.
