This has been one of my gripes with the game. I can't play with friends that are a levels below me because everything gets scaled to my level and they can't survive. I tried to run with a few homies earlier in the game. I was level 10, they were 6. I decide to take them in the Madison Field Hospital set on Hard. It was a no go. I had the shotty bustin and I took down a lot of people but there were just way too many purple and gold elites to take on with no backup. One or two shots dropped the homes because all the elites were level 10 because of me. Why wouldn't the game scan us and maybe make the enemies 7 or 8 elites but just send more of them to compensate for my level. That way we could all play together. We all have different schedules and at the moment I'm 7 or 8 levels ahead of them. So we can never play together even if they close the gap a bit more. That and a bunch of other little things annoy me about this game. I'm tried to hold on because I have a feeling that after a lot of feedback the devs are going to have some nice improvements lined up in addition to all of the extra content they have planned for year one. But at the moment, I'm teetering. I'm one fukked up play session from throwing it in the bushes.
@Mowgli That shotty up close ain't no joke son. That's the only way I roll. I love to throw out the turret and suppress enemies and run at them with the shotty. They know it's coming but they can't do nothing about it.
This is the reason why I haven't been really playing this. Everyone I know is mid 20s and I am barely an 8. Even if I am the session owner missions and DZ are scaled to their level so it's basically suicide for me. I do not understand why they designed the game like that. The party leader should always take precedent on the difficulty scaling. I have to play with randoms with no mics. Even though it's still fun it's just not the same
