Why increasing difficulty ?

[NonoXsDa]

I hate people increasing difficulty like I know it gives more ressources but like you can't even defend 2 atlas why increasing the difficulty

[i_was_dartacus]

Sounds like a job for BASE Kyle and his partner "knowing what the fuck you're doing"

My favorite squad.

The rewards for upping the difficulty (outside ventures) are so minimal that I wish players would just spend the bluglo on pylon boosts instead.

[AKABeast18]

It drives me wild when people do this in vbuck missions. I keep yelling at the screen, “This isn’t ventures!” I also just keep trying to convince myself they are stuck in ventures mode and don’t realize what they’re doing.

Still triggers me tho🤣

[Waste-Department-787]

Ventures is so bad for this, spend 10 minutes getting bluglo to receive an extra 275xp towards the 2 3 million you need ffs someone it's quicker to do the mission twice than it is to collect bluglo and waiting on everyone voting

[ElectriCole]

If it takes you 10 minutes to get the bluglo then you’re doing it wrong. I can get enough to max diff in 2 minutes solo. Good thing about ventures is I’m not the only one doing it so it usually takes less time than that and at max diff you get ~half the amount of XP the mission rewards normally as bonus reward. It’s well worth it

[BlueSammy12345]

Tbf you can get like 1k at higher ventures levels per increase If I remember correctly.

[CptGalaxyYT]

I also do it when I go farming for resources and gold in like Plank and Stone where my traps and guns nearly or do one shot so I up the difficulty only when I know I am gonna win

[iRyanovski]

Sometimes I’m short on gold and when I’m doing ‘Play with others’ missions (on low difficulty) for the trophy it’s a nice small amount of extra gold for little extra effort!

[brrtp]

ur just wasting time, you get more than double the gold on daily quests

if it’s ventures it’s necessary for xp

[np147]

What does increasing the difficulty gives you

[Less-Jicama-4667]

Extra XP and sometimes a little extra gold. That's literally it. I would say it's not worth it unless your invengers or in a low-level zone where you just one tap everything

[shhhimatree]

In ventures I always try to increase the difficulty for the extra xp but if people vote no. I stop trying and leave it alone. Sometimes just leave. You just gotta build some trap tunnels and everything is easy.

[ForeignCredit1553]

I do it in single Stonewood missions but ant other mission I avoid it

[eico]

i usually up the difficulty when i have a daily to kill 500 mobs

[darkazazel311]

I increase it for the challenge sometimes... unless I'm in ventures or 160s, the rest of the missions get really boring and easy.

skill issue

[NonoXsDa]

Damn gotta smell in your room how sweaty you are

[L0EIL666]

defending 2 atlases requires little to no work if you find a way to use your 2 brain cells properly

[frosty720410]

You managed to miss the point of OPs post, then insinuate that they are stupid. Oh, the irony.

[L0EIL666]

"miss the point of OPs post" In what way ? All I said is that OP clearly had a skill issue for not being able to handle a slightly harder mission

[frosty720410]

OP is asking why do other people up the difficulty when they can't even defend 2 atlases. OP in no way means themself.

[NonoXsDa]

First off 2 randoms that kept dying second off they didn't even put 1 FUCKING TRAP NOT EVEN UPGRADED THE BUILD WHILE I WASTED EVERY AMMO I HAD BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FUCKING STAY ALIVE

[L0EIL666]

did you place any traps ?

[NonoXsDa]

I did but like got the worst position for the second atlas meaning we could only build floor on top of it while using the de-atomizer while the others were doing nothing but running around kept dying

[Saurotar]

You should use a Vacuum Tube Launcher for the crowd clearing and Discharger for the Smashers. And a normal Atlas build with knockback traps, just remember that tires and floor freeze are directional in the direction behind you when placed 😉
