What would you guys think of Elite x2, x4 and even x8?

• Tropa wrote on 2014-04-11 01:23
  Currently, we only have Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Hardmode and Elite missions.. but as our charcters progress, things like Hardmode and Elite become easy and you don't have to think twice while running them. I think we should get two or even three difficulties above Elite.
  
  

  Basic: x1
  Intermediate: x2
  Advanced: x4
  Hardmode: x8
  Elite: x16
  Elite*2: x32
  Elite*4: x64
  Elite*8: x128

  
  
  Thoughts on this subject? would Elite*4 and Elite*8 be too much to handle?

  As long as AI changes get made so that mobs don't get annoying[Multi aggro to infinity] and they aren't potatoes I think it could work

  Elite x2 is lords really.
  
  Considering how much of a breeze lord missions are even without fancy reforges, I'd say this suggestion is fair enough.

  I hadn't quite considered octuple elite, sounds like fun though. Maybe loosen up on the level reqs a bit though; it would be rather intensely difficult to find a group of people over 10,000 at any given time. In this case I think the actual difficulty of the mission should enforce who wins and loses, and there's something appealing about a group of lower levels working together to overcome heavily difficult content that I find is appealing. Fixing the party accumulate level restrictions would help a lot though.

  I could show you a few videos of a group of people clearing missions without a single near death if you want. None of the missions are restricted to solo.

  Very easy. Scathach caverns at least. Others are moderate at best.
  
  You do know you literally can't enter these missions alone... right?
  Crisis + blaze does wonders.

  I do agree, this game isn't big enough to have level 10k+ players on all the time, I'd restrict it to 5k players.. but x128 is defiantly 10k+ material.

  Guys, only gens go by levels anymore.
  
  Require master for the first highest thing, and a grandmaster for the one above that.
  
  Because those GM missions, the 4-player and 1-player? Wow, ow.

  Not trying to be rude, but even you would have a lot of trouble with Lord Missions if you simply had slight graphic lag like a lot of us did (or at least me). Someone needs to learn a bit of humility even if you CAN solo the entire thing
  
  OT: The idea sounds fine, but considering some people were complaining that the "Peaca and Coill abyss" were just monsters with attack/defense/HP raised, I'm not sure if this'll be accepted by that group of people.

  Done
  
  This seems like it would be a really good idea especially if the rewards scaled along with it, or better yet, better ones :)! (8x a stack of fire crystals seems like a horrible reward) Maybe include different aspects to the missions/ different monster spawns+ more complex AI.

  Pointless. Players would get bored of it very quickly. No2 has the right idea with having different monsters with more complex AI and different monster spawns.

  I wish elites worked like Torment difficulty in D3, you get a slider to up the difficulty even higher once you reach "max difficulty" which increases HP, Damage, Items, and Gold.

  only problem would be elitex8

  Throw Blade Wyvern's annoying munches and Snowfield Slayer's irritating aggro change into missions, then we're talking.

  The reward was the biggest problem for peaca abyss. For a content that is supposedly harder, the rewards are dissapointingly awful.

  Not a matter of humility... I'm being realistic.If a mediocre playerlike me can say it's easy, there's clearly a problem with the current difficulty system.
