Was difficulty bumped yesterday?

With the update to open up the next two alpha slot levels?


With my old 50, I regularly do paper missions in GV by myself, then do the Peregrine bank mission. My diff is set such that the bank mission is fairly tough (it's difficult to get the primary part done, then the 4 side-quests, before running out of time due to deaths.)

At this diff, the paper missions are somewhat easier. So far so good. A bank mission should be tougher, all things equal, for the same diff level.


But the past two days, I've been having multiple wipes on the paper missions in GV. This primarily is due to running out of endurance.


Now these are Carnie and Malta paper missions. I take out the sappers and the Ring Mistresses, so far so good. But other things seem to be sapping me. Things that didn't used to sap my end.


Has anyone else noticed this? Is it my imagination?

Your imagination, most likely. The difficulty was not changed, to my knowledge.

All carnies will drain some endurance in a PBAoE effect when they die. You may be noticing that more than you used to.

Try monitoring your combat attributes to see if you are getting debuffed or endurance drained.

Pre-hotfix, I had the game not remember I had switched off my travel power after zoning into a mission. I kept losing endurance faster than normal till I checked and had to turn it off again. You could check that.
