I want my old Diff 4 Back!!!

-mumbles & grumbles-

Anywho, what do I set it at these days for that? Right now Im set to +1 thats it, I always run a team 8.

Now atm, we are doing all Dom Theme Team, before this patch, when we did that, we always did just fine on Diff 4(diff I always ran, period)


Now it seems we faceplant quite a bit more. So what combination of stuff do I gotta do to make it Diff 4?

Do I raise my own personal level diff of what would spawn at a +0? or perhaps +1 with it should spawn as a team of 5? or what?

Any assistance would be appreciated


Side note: Drop Rate blows horribly atm

I delete more 50s, then you'll ever have.

No, they just nerfed accuracy.

+1x2 w/o bosses should be a close approximation of Unyielding.

If you want Invincible, go +2 or +3 x1 w/bosses and AVs

I tried that setting on my Robot/Storm MM last night.
I can't speak to the drop rates as I didn't pay attention to it, but man was it fun.

If you're an SR anything, or a Shield anything don't set Nemesis on x8. When you kill 4 LTs with an AoE and they all pop Vengeance you might as well armor yourself in tissue paper for all the good your defense does.

Barely relevant to the discussion, just mentioning that it's painful to go from unhittable to dead in a couple seconds.

Old Difficulty to new Difficulty conversion chart:

Difficulty 1 (default) = +0 levels, team size 1, No Bosses, no AVs
Difficulty 2 = +0 levels, team size 2, Bosses, no AVs
Difficulty 3 = +1 levels, team size 1, Bosses, no AVs
Difficulty 4 = +1 levels, team size 2, Bosses, no AVs
Difficulty 5 = +2 levels, team size 1, Bosses, AVs

That's if you're solo. If you're on a team, Difficulties 2 and 4 added 1 to your team size, while you got AVs at 6 players minus the difficulty level (so 5 players or more at Difficulty 1, 2 players or more at Difficulty 4)

The only real difference is that now you have to compute the +1 to your team size yourself. I'm not really sure how the "No AVs" setting works, I believe it still adds AVs for a team of five or more. But I'm not sure if that's counting your set team size or the real team size.
