PVE difficulty

Lord_Mephisto

Hi! Anyone noticed a huge increase in difficulty for the current Thick as Thieves event? My roster didn't change and in the last level I'm facing opponents of level 390!

StarScream

No. Nobody has noticed.

Hadronic

Mine got easier

Yep. For our fun and balance they have decided that level 323 just isn't challenging enough so they are testing a new max of level 400 and five full clears to get max progression because the only thing more fun than a brutal never ending slog fest is a more brutal and longer slog fest. I'm not a fan.

Yeah. I decided to the lesser difficult one and it was much less of a headache.

You should have read the Clearance selector screen. It indicates for CL8 that enemies will go from 200-400 levels. If you chose CL7 you would have had an easy time for almost the same rewards.

Yeah isn't it wonderful?
My 388s are 62 below my usual levels.

Pve is too hard for me at scl8, please revert back to the normal system next event. I have a 3 star roster. Either that or scale down the monsters level to roster according to player

I've seen that screen in the selector of the test event they made about one month ago, but didn't know it was a success (not sure about this...). Didn't see any information about the enemy levels in my selector screen.

This is the second test (which is the same as the first but they fixed a bug which made SCL 8 easier than expected last time).  The levels were there, at least on mine.  They did a poor job of announcing this across the board, sorry you got burned.

Levels are much more reasonable! Thank you Demiurge. Facing 90k Jugs and 75k Moonstone wasn't fun at all the previous event.

Yeah, seeing easier levels here as well.  Thanks!

I didn't find it that bad. I used Bl4de with falcon. I might have used 3 health packs. It went pretty fast.

Actually, it was not a big deal. My choice would be the same and I'm not having problems at all. I was just surprised to see the scaling without any notice, as you've mentioned.

I also used Bl4de with IM40 and Cap.M4rvel. Worked really fine!!!
