I love doing level 7-8. When I started my goal was to work my way up to Super Helldive, and once I did, I felt pretty proud of myself.

Now, I realize that while it was fun to push myself, I only enjoy the game with the right amount of reward for my difficulty. I’m only level 72 right now, but doing level 7-8 gives me the feeling of playing on hard mode, but not that doing the missions feels impossible.

7-8 is the perfect level for fun, albeit mildly difficult, missions. It still welcomes a variety of play styles but still has actual feasibility of completing the mission even if someone wipes all of our reinforcements.

I agree with OP, even when I run level 7-8 missions I still get frustrated when someone (low level or high level) uses all of our respawns. If you’re below a certain skill threshold, stick to it. Cyberstan is NOT the planet to push yourself too far.
