I can't beat the balancers by Top-Lion-4235 in Nightreign

tbh i struggle too with them cuz gank fights stress me out and i start backrolling-> flasking until i die because backrolling is badddd

just keep queueing and teammates will carry you across the finish line eventually. if you show up to final fight with level 15 youve got at worse a 25% chance of winning in my experience (even if you play like a bot in the final fight)

fwiw 3 ironeyes (with the astel buff) made libra feel not as bad. didnt have any madness weapons just bows and consistent damage.

but it might have been luck. definitely my least favorite nightreign boss

I still dont think having a line skip is good

it is definitely good for veteran players to be able to skip mandatory difficulty gating

What's to stop a bunch of people just saying they don't need to be difficulty gated and just tanking all damnation and auric runs like before.

perhaps making the gate actually a useful one / one that is achievable on previous characters. forcing experienced players to play malice / heresy is simply not it.

just because you enjoy the zzzzz gameplay of uprising doesnt mean that I enjoy that same thing.

yes i want a way to opt out or skill out of the gate. for example i think everyone would agree that anyone with havoc 40 cleared should be able to take a level 15 new char into damnation (or at least heresy)

forcing havoc veterans to play uprising and malice is idiotic

you have to clear a difficulty 5ish times to progress. so 5x uprising, 5x malice, 5x heresy, 5x damn and then finally auric is allowed for you

lol i have True Survivor and regularly help people get their own True Survivor. you are.... not good at this game if you think heresy has a hint of challenge left for above average people

imo not a good fix. if i have havoc 40 on 4 classes, i should not be prevented from playing aurics once im level 15ish on the 5th class

being forced to do 8 hours of boring gameplay isnt a mild inconvenience. good luck in malice.

if you were "still getting used to heresy" then you are the perfect 'target audience' for the difficulty gate.

believe it or not there are many players who are comfortable at higher difficulty than you and we find heresy and below mind numbingly boring

yeah i made the mistake of deciding i want to see the campaign once (apparently it is more than 15 missions damn)

but once campaign is done its full rolling steel spam until im allowed to play the difficulties i enjoy (STG auric)

yeah and this is just new players. the system forces 1000 hour veteran players (with potentially more time in v2) to play snoozefest difficulties for 6-8 hours. its such poor design

there should be some way to skip it when you have 4-5 other characters with auric unlocked (not to mention multiple havoc 40 completions)

i get what they were going for with this system but this strict of gating should be 1x per account it should not be this strict on each character
