i dont think heroic is coming back, pretty sure they said they re-scaled it so that challenge was heroic?

i think they maybe need to then add more tier(s) which then adds on a % of difficulty.

Yeah that's right, but at least with this balancing they could add on heroic again as long as its not crazy OP lol!! :D
 
Btw anyone having this issue with hbao+

Been like even before the 1.4 patch.
 
I'm liking this a lot! And as long as they won't introduce higher GS I'm good.

They will have too eventually or else they wont have a way to break up bands of players if more difficult content comes out and there is only so much the current gs, will allow in terms of AI power and damage output.

Found out last night just how **** the diminishing returns is on SP. Put together a random build with 240k electronics and it wasn't that impressive at all.

Even making it more balanced with more stamina it just didn't seem worthwhile so they definitely need to work on that. Its so simple to fix as well, steeper gradient as they work out their dimishing mark based on a level 1-33 scale...so we are almost at that mark as soon as we hit level 30.

Pulse was good though, and I could have gotten smart cover to 50% with perf mods but meh, not needed.

Might do some ug later or HVT's and DZ :) or if anyone is up for it, heroic incursions.
 
Cheers for testing, gamble. On another note, is skill power now somewhat redundant? I've boosted mine from 40k to 80k and unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be any noticeable difference.
 
I think that for now sp is ideal between 85-95K.

Tek, I can show you all bosses tonight if you want me to? We can trade loot too :)

Sounds good, mate. I'm after some sentry gloves. Looted some in the dz last night, but rogues stole them. They weren't all that good though - marksman damage and pistol. Fingers crossed for tonight.

Its not redundant but unfortunately due to the way they have changed their formula, the diminishing returns kicks in wayyyy too quickly when you hit level 30 so all those electronics rolls you could make are basically redundant.

I believe 150k is the absolute max that is worthwhile running, but for normal DPS builds 85-90k is OK as that will overheal you completely at least, and will also completely heal you with booster.

Easiest way to look at it, whatever the SP is in 1.4, divide that by 3 and it equates to 1.3.

Yeah definitely, that's like 30k in 1.3 which was always nice and balanced.

What time will you guys be on? Might do the bosses as well, I got bored doing them solo yesterday even though I was only weapon testing so only did 3 or something and then jumped in the DZ

Awesome :)

@Nexus - never seen that before. Wtf.

Yup, was using ultra for ambient occlusion originally after not really liking HBAO+ (creates fake shadows when it shouldn't be) but decided to change back to HBAO+ for a bit and well that happens :/

Guessing it is an AMD issue....
 
Tek & Gamble: I'll be online, just join on me and we'll clear my map. I'm looking for many things including Sentry's and HF, gloves of both as well. And mods, we can trade mods too, nice! Maybe a CS run or two after? For the pc? B a BP and am skinned again.

Yeah Im up for trying any incursion tbh.
 
FL I am never ever doing again though. Despise the whole thing ha ha! CS is quick and easy. Might need a full FM though?

FL has checkpoints at least now which is good but has the lowest PC reward vs time spent. Pretty stupid

I don't know tbh, I did it in week 1 and we had random gear but we had three people go left, one person go right. This allowed for one fuse to be planted pain free.

Then all 4 grouped up, ulted and walked the normal way whilst putting heals on the floor.

As long as three people are forcing agro It should be fine but I might make a full stamina tank build just in case its needed
