Scale syndicate based on map/monster level - sans mods
So I'm noticing as I progress through mapping the syndicate is getting ridiculous. Now I know I'm not fully geared and or/properly "min maxed" for top tier maps. But it's at a point where I can handle the map content just fine, bosses just fine, but the minute I run into syndicate I am either A) running around for what feels like 20 minutes to avoid damage and lay down damage to win, B) dying immediately, or C) running around for a few minutes and then the members just run away (not really sure about this one, maybe only the add members do this or when you fail a mechanic like research destruction). It also seems like the result is HEAVILY reliant on the type of content (I can't kill fast enough for research, can't survive long enough for intervention, and I usually can manage either fortification or transportation depending on how well I play).
So I'm left with either running lower tier maps, which stalls my progression, to do syndicate content. Or running away from the league's core content. I think some additional work on the syndicate scaling still needs to be done even post nerf. Either adjust them to scale lower by default so they aren't as OP once the map mods are applied. Or maybe flip and scale them alone based on level but make them exempt to the map mods. Obviously player based mods (affected by curses, lower resist, etc.) would still hurt, but not the extra damage etc. To be clear, I know some players are fine with the content as it is now. And not all players are intended to hit all content. But for core league content it feels kind of bad that at a certain point I either have to choose to stop progressing and slow my roll on content or do whatever is in my power NOT to interact with the league mechanic. Maybe it won't matter so much after this league is over but for now it just feels very "meh" to login when I know my only option is to steamroll low tier maps or die constantly. Que angry "noob" and "casual" comments. Oh and forgot I logged into my "wrong" account. For those who want to offer suggestions on build etc. my player name is urbear1987 and purplewand is the toon name. I need a new chest and to up my chaos resist but other than that and trying to stack more armor I'm pretty much complete beyond general higher value gear etc. Last edited by gamrcub#5377 on Dec 23, 2018, 11:14:04 PM Last bumped on Dec 24, 2018, 12:02:27 AM

The balance on the game is way out of wack right now and the syndicate was staticly place on the maps in a one size fits all.
With balance this far off one size will never fit all... Your only option right now is to find a build that can handle the content if yours is not. Player skill plays into it too. NS |
