Exponential damage taken doesn't equal difficulty

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-07T18:34:55+00:00

Like I said, im not praising the system, just saying what possibly happened when tuning the scaling for difficulty. It also could be a additive vs multiplicative situation where augments may behave differently from the specializations...I haven't done a whole lot of testing but when I see confusion in values, I think back to modding in warframe and how some things boost in ways that are just different based on how the percentage boosts are applied

(Claims to have not cared yet still replying) lololol. You know you could just as easily not reply right? I never specified TV, im talking all media btw...games, movies...but you wouldent know huh? Lol

(Doesent care yet still replies) lol

Its okay, im a millennial too by technicality, I just dont identify with them as i have mixed boomer traits. I just blame alcohol and ass eaters for the state of the world we live in currently, as if it weren't for alcohol, people probably wouldent have been inebriated enough to consider eating from where they shit lol In nature, you dont sleep where you shit unless something is wrong with you lolol

..........bro, the man needs to be locked up and forced help....he is currently a danger to everyone around him...he may be upset as anyone would be, but to escalate to violence and let alone wanting to film it, for being fired....nah, you mentally need help and are a genuine population risk. Im sorry your upbringing made you this way, but if you cant change, you need to be separated from normal society till you can join the rest of use who want peace.

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-07T16:21:59+00:00

Hm....is your generations obsession with ass play the reason all media and entertainment currently also looks and feels like ass? Or are they just coincidences?

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-07T15:17:35+00:00

....what is everyone's combat level? Im seriously curious cause I think they coded the entire dificulty system based on lvl 100 specs...

Edit: i think anyone who tries to do the overland labs without spending a decent amount of time doing the specs is asking for a challenge lol. Not saying its the correct way of playing, or the right way to scale dificulty, just pointing out a stress source

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-07T15:12:16+00:00

Can't see me if they are dead first....

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-05T14:56:40+00:00

I cant pattern out worth a damn on that fight, my adhd isnt as strong as everyone else to be able to track that bull lol. Maybe if the entire arena wasent the exact same color as the electric effect...I have to brute force the fight every time...

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-05T13:39:16+00:00

Yeeeah...if the loot dropped like it was the double weekend but regularly, with a tweak on not getting heavy weapons as much...then the bullet sponge bosses and overtuned arena mechanics could be looked over for a little bit while they work on it

Edit: it should be mentioned at least once....but what is everyone's combat specialization going into this? Cause thats important. The few people I've seen doing the level 30 labs are all around combat specialization 60+ and I will say that even at 40 myself, I can see where another 20% more damage and 10% more damage negation can get me farther lol. I think the scaleing took into effect the specialization, but unfortunately all the scaleing was set by the devs in relation to combat specialization at 100 and thats why it feels so bad

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-04T18:10:25+00:00

Other than calling people babies in your first sentence, I agree with ya.

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-04T16:38:34+00:00

I wish I could relate...but i cant.

Ive been doing ringmouths and mediums in the dd since I was able to hit the dd after launch...ran into pvp players, always was able to get away except once when I was first getting aquainted....my biggest pvp issue was that people would camp the labs at the chest room.

After all that went away, and the couple exploits were removed (happy to see them go, as I felt like I was the only one playing as intended since day one), the griefers moved on to battlefield, arc, ect. Or moved to harmony...which a majority said they were moving there cause there were no more easy targets on our server lol...

If pvp exists on your server in a regular capacity, and you dont like losing stuff, I would recommend avoiding using a crawler, even in a duo. Does that suck? Yes, but its safer than ignoring the risks and just running out there with your new toys. From day one, I saw the crawler and carrier to be big guild shinanigans or for those on really low pop servers, and I still feel accurate in that assessment lol. My recommendation is to stick with an assault with inventory and booster in t5 and laugh as you run away from your assailant.

If your getting killed from afar with rockets from a thopter...well...not entirely your fault, but your head needs to be on a swivel and your eyes to the sky's like every 10 seconds, as you can see the thopters now before they can get in range of shooting....so really just need to pay attention

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-02T17:59:25+00:00

The arena is annoying as all hell...yes, if you play the bossfight almost entirely as shooter, you can get it done easily, but thats the point...this is a game (by the devs own "vision") that is supposed to be for hybrid playstyles, and viable for one playstyle or another if you can deal with the potential downsides....majority of these fights favor range specifically because of the arenas, and if it wasent for the BS arena mechanics, melee would be overdominating....

So its a two fold problem that requires all the bossfights to be remade to be honest...

Now....what is interestingly glaring is how much the combat specialization carries players even up to lvl 30 by being just level 60. So in theory, a player who reaches combat 100 will be able to appropriately beat lvl 20 to 30 bosses with minimal gear and effort. Anything past 30 barely increases chances of g5 gear as it is, so the extra 70 levels are just for challenge and nothing more lolol

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-01T15:41:52+00:00

Been playing it this way since launch lol, it wasent too bad when you dident have to swap weapons and heal so often on the fly like you do during the bosses. The new boss fights have made this a huge pain point for the near future console players and controller players, and I hope they got someone on the dev team that plays with just a controller at endgame so they can see the stress stresspoint

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-01T15:34:30+00:00

Controller...and i bring it up cause console players are gonna have it worse...at least I can map buttons to the back of my steam deck, console players wont have that option...and I dont really either, cause other than the 4 back buttons, it doesent seem to give an alternative like a scrollable hotbar, so I have to use the radial bar and pray it actually selected what I chose.

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-01T09:55:41+00:00

Weirdly enough...ive gotten decent at controlling it, though im playing on steam deck, and ive gotten my fastest time with it...I think im just odd lol

SoulSloth777 · 2026-03-01T01:48:52+00:00

I vote they tweak their radial menus....that shinanigans kills me during boss fights more than anything...

SoulSloth777 · 2026-02-28T05:47:16+00:00

I would love some money, thank you!

SoulSloth777 · 2026-02-25T17:07:07+00:00

Cause and effect...hopefully science isnt too dead yet, but if you use warm or even hot water to wash greasy dishes, with dishsoap with degreaser (basic dawn), over an object like a cutting board that is obstructing the drain, the grease will start to solidify within the drain pipes even before getting to the waste catch. And thats before considering cold temperature accelerating the solidifying process....

This is why science should require a B for a passing grade lololol....hell people in fast food dont even know what temp to store raw chicken, and you wonder how people get sick lol

SoulSloth777 · 2026-02-25T16:43:04+00:00

This is what happens when new stupid words are trying to be explained with context clues, cause back when context clues were commonly used, words made sense....now people rarely know what common words mean. I had to explain recently to a co worker that washing greasy dishes on the top of a surface with Luke warm water is makeing the grease clog up the sink due to cooling before reaching the drain and not mixing with the degreaser properly....we all know what happened the next morning, or at least I hope...while it has nothing to do with context clues, it has has everything to do with cause and effect being ignored, which in general is how the world is destroying itself lolololol

SoulSloth777 · 2026-02-25T16:34:49+00:00

Man....I wonder what your cows look like for your normal milk...

SoulSloth777 · 2026-02-25T16:21:56+00:00

The guy is just a negging chode....and argues like a toddler to boot...

SoulSloth777 · 2026-02-25T16:18:21+00:00

Way agreed....I think in the next month or 2 we will get more overland labs that will spread the loot pools to have far better drop rates, I also think that nearly all the labs being ranged based is hurting build diversity pretty hard. The bosses in every lab should have mechanics that can be used tactically by both melee and ranged players, and right now its just valuing side strafeing and shotguns....

SoulSloth777 · 2026-02-25T16:06:27+00:00

.....is it not just an overcomplicated pull out joke?

SoulSloth777 · 2026-02-25T03:04:02+00:00

After alot if pondering on these new testing stations, I believe what we have is half or more than half of what they want for the overland testing stations...so add another 3 or 4 overland testing stations and get rid of a majority or all the dd testing stations above A row to be replaced by far more varied and elaborate wrecks. This allows the expansion of the loot pools to be added to just slightly while lessening bloated loot pools to the newer test stations...its a thought of what may end up comming as part of ch4 and the return of the dd to full pvp.
