Raise the difficulty higher

Ahh, yes, the Unpleasable Fanbase. It seems to be especially rampant in MMOs xD

The only person throwing a tantrum is you. And if quibbling over semantics is the sign of a losing argument why are you insisting on doing it?

Standard Code Rant. You have no idea what the gamecode looks like and therefore have no idea how much time and resources would need to be used to accomplish the OP's idea.

Actually it does matter because no matter how much you foam at the mouth just increasing the difficulty range of pre-existing missions is not adding new content to the game.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I made that clear in my first post.

Thank god we don't have it as bad as some other games.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahah a!

It's still around.

I'm not sure I'd agree with that. Pen and Paper games exist as a continuum. At one end you have the Wargames which are almost entirely mechanics focused with the story being essentially just an excuse for a fight. At the other end you have the "story-driven" RPGs that have minimal mechanics for character interaction. Most RPGs exist somewhere in between.

Now I'll agree that the systems towards the "story-driven" end of the spectrum have a primary focus on actual role-playing but at the other end of the spectrum that isn't always true. Games at that end of the spectrum do tend to be closer to Wargames with the focus less on character interaction and more on beating people up and taking their stuff.

Dungeon's and Dragons is a good example. While it does have a setting it mostly plays like a squad-level Wargame and 4th edition moves even further in this direction. I think this is partly why so many RPGers dislike D&D, in many ways it's made to appeal to the Wargamer more than the RPGer.

My response was more about Forbin's statement. I don't really care about the OP's request one way or the other since it's a feature I'd be unlikely to use but at the same time wouldn't negatively impact me if it were added.

I want to take every chance I can get to bring balance to the world and agree with Leo, so here goes:

I agree with this. Asking for regular enemies to be made stronger is exactly the WRONG way to add challenge to the game. We've already seen the wrong way instituted in the Tin Mage TF, where all of a sudden simple Malta grunts can punch holes in supposed Incarnates with their basic Brawl, and Director 11 - SOME GUY - has the ability to lay mines without touching them, and these mines are capable of blowing apart supposed incarnates without doing any meaningful damage to a common warehouse.

What's the point of becoming godlike if we'll still be fighting the same old scum that we were dominating before? Did they become godlike, too? Why aren't we fighting NEW enemies? Even the IDF barely count, since they show up in 45-50 content.

Enemies that scale up with us is a good idea, provided they don't scale up for too long. The regular game makes a point to swap out old enemies for newer, "more powerful" enemies, in storyline if not in practice. This is the right way. Just slapping more levels to Hellions, on the other hand, is not the answer. I'm sure it's a simple task to slap 60 level shifts to a Hellion Slugger and use that as a default enemy, but who will that help?

I'm not going to babysit you for free. If you can't behave like a grown up then get mommy to hire someone. If you ever do grow up, and you choose to respond to a single point I made, then feel free to do so. I'll be waiting patiently as ever.

So when you can't refute an argument you make phony quotes and supply your own dialog so your fragile ego can feel superior.


And I'm the one you claim is acting childish. Riiight.
