Sorry if this has been covered, but I could I get something clarified about this, States?
I have had a number of duos where we were able to defeat an AV of even level, but when set on the higher difficulty, we got an AV that was +1 and it whomped our butts.
So, with this change, will the AV that spawns for a team of two (on second-highest difficulty) be +0 or +1?
The existing level modification of the difficulty settings will need to be independant of the AV spawn, or a duo will get an AV that is potentially higher than they would have got under the current system.
If a small team can only get a +1AV, the new system will actually make it harder to survive these encounters and will de-incentivise people to fight them without a full team.
