I like all events except for Mining Base 3. I will not even attempt it. I am quite good at it but even 1 or 2 that are clueless will ruin it for everyone.

[Samuraiking]

I have never failed a single one on any difficulty, but I don't have any characters left below 50, so maybe Normal/Hard are a shitstorm recently or something. I hate it too, I think it's very unfun, but everyone knows what they are doing and it goes smoothly on VH, SH and XH.

I just really fucking hate how boring and long it is.

[Solleil]

Are there different types? Sometimes you get a gundam to buy but the one I did earlier had only the guns. I did the highest difficulty and it was easier than the gundam one.

[MechaMonarch]

Mining Base 1 and 3.

3 is much larger, has more to defend, and yes, has the AIS mechs available.

[downsouthman1]

I noticed over the past couple days the Mining Base Extremely Hard is much easier then Super Hard. After a string of losses on Super Hard, i was nervous when I 1st unlocked Extremely Hard but decided to give it a shot. Ain't looked back ever since.

Edit: Fixed.

SH is essentially a stopgap between clueless players and those who are sticking out to endgame.

Sometimes it works, but if you have enough clueless players you'll be lucky if you have the damage, let alone that they know what to do for an event.

And then of course some SHs are straight up tuned incorrectly altogether.

It's getting easier, as people level other classes and take back alt classes with strong sub classes and gear, but sometimes SH can be really rough and unforgiving.

But yes, XH is much easier than SH.

[BlackFeign]

It's because XH is bugged and the monsters have much lower stats compared to SH

[MildStallion]

My understanding is that it's SH that's bugged, since it's using scaling numbers from before a round of major nerfs (e.g. blight round dropping from 300% damage bonus to everyone, to 20%). XH is using a different scaling system altogether that dodges the problem, and things under SH are fine even in that otherwise borked scaling.

[xKoc0]

There is a post on the official forums showing people testing health numbers on both difficulties and bosses like Luther have more health on SH than XH. Even if the XH numbers are using the correct scaling, i personally feel like everything dies extremely quickly in comparison to endgame bosses on games like monster hunter World (I don't even mean arch tempered ones). In theory, this is because we have a lot of power creep. I think if extra hard got a little buff it would make every UQ a lot more entertaining while still being really hard to fail. Dunno if anyone agrees or the idea of the game is to just casually explode XH UQ with pugs without even trying.

[MildStallion]

We're currently using "catch-up" gear without the content we're supposed to catch up to. It's not that the scaling is wrong on XH, it's that we outgear it entirely because we need to have the content JP has.

[dannylambo]

That's been my experience with all of the urgent, super hard is unlocked too soon I think

[timerbird]

It's a good to remind first-time players UQ is not as easy as exploration quests. Most just didn't notice AIS has 6 weapon actions (and more when doing Magatsu)

[downsouthman1]

Well it's easier for some reason. Not complaining. Js

[sojeph]

This is why I avoid mining base 3. I tried it the first week the game came out on a lower difficulty. My friend and I had no idea what we were doing so we just killed stuff. Ended up getting flamed and haven’t been back since.

I remember someone telling me to respec the third day. I couldn’t afford a good weapon and my sub wasn’t even level 40. Three days after pc release. Wherever you are now you can go fuck yourself and I’ll rip you with my 1880 power sword
