Wrongfully accused difficulty settings

[Diantane]

I have 85 alts over 35 on Excelsior and have gone through The Laura Lockhart arc almost every time. We always do it at 2/8 difficulty with a few exceptions. Sometimes the team had a few vets on it and we go at +3 or 4. The first mission is a pretty tough one as there are a ton of Council concussion grenades going off all around you.

 

The actual difficulty depends on the team. Most teams are made up with experienced players that sail through every mission that comes along. While other teams are made up with low DPS types with little to no defense (controllers and defenders as an example). They can't handle the mission and blame the difficulty. That's it set too high. It's not too high (the team is too low).

 

When the team is wiped a few times in a row, most players will quit and seek easier ways to gain XP. Sometimes we get a real team of experienced players that are not quitters. They enjoy the challenge (like me) and figure out how to complete it (strategy) even if it takes hours. When we are done, the reward is much greater and long remembered. Spoiler: An easier way to get through almost any mission is to buy a few lucks from the hospital nurse and eat them all right before the battle.
