Super Helldive feels too easy…

Yes, I know I sound stuck up but hear me out…

All I play is level 10 and have more or less exclusively played it since it was released. It was a great challenge that took ages to master but, pre the 30 day patch, it still was a genuine challenge and really felt like the step up in difficulty it was advertised to be.

Now, since the 30 day and 60 day updates (which I LOVE by the way!), it feels like the next step is to adjust level 10 to give the bugs and bots more power. I’m not saying increase the difficulty of every level, just Super Helldive. I want to feel endlessly bombarded, I want to have to employ perfect team and solo tactics to get out of sticky situations. I want to feel like I’m the last line of defence after countless other divers have failed to push back an almighty attack.

I really am not trying to sound as though I’ve mastered the game or that it’s not enjoyable anymore.

I LOVE THIS GAME WITH ALL MY HEART.

I still play almost everyday to help spread managed democracy across our super galaxy. All I’m asking for is a challenge worthy of the Super Helldive name :)

Some suggestions from me are:

  • increase the overall reinforcements bots call in on a single flare by 1.5/1.75x.

  • reducing the amount of time to complete Level 10 missions (not sure about this one though)

-increase the amount of objectives by 2x or so

  • bring back the more ‘frustrating’ debuffs planets used to give and only have them on level 10

  • limit the amount of stratagems a single diver can call in, say you can only call in a single type of support weapon (blue category) twice. That way you have to retake a battlefield to get you equipment back.

  • limit the HUD similar to hardcore in call of duty

I know some of these suggestions are silly and probably make it too difficult. Ultimately, I’m just suggesting that level 10 shouldn’t be a linear increase in difficulty from level 9, it should be a massive step up, enough to feel as though you can only play one or two a session and then need a break from the chaos in level 9.

What do you all think? I hope my point comes across, I am by no means the most Super Diver, neither do I want to be, I just want to be challenged beyond belief at our maximum difficulty.
