Honestly i'm not asking to make lower difficulties so hard to exclude casuals, far from that, just asking for harder difficulties like very hard and elite to actually pose a challenge, the highest difficulty settings in most games naturally exclude casuals and theres nothing wrong with it. Most casuals in fact are well aware the highest settings are rarely for them.
Being a casual myself, I have to agree with that. I'd also have to agree that for the most part, even Elite is not overly difficult. Which is a shame, because I expected a heck of a challenge from it.
I'm no hardcore gamer or raider or anything. I'm the guy that since 1999, logs into whatever MMO, plays for fun, goes about my offline business. Hell, it took me over a year to get my first level 50 in CoH. Even longer for my first level 60 in WoW (right before the first expansion, actually). That's how casual I am.
you misunderstand. I like challenge, where it makes sense at least. what I don't like is being punished when I fail, thats not challenge, its just fake. it discourages people from attempting challenging things.
please refrain from insulting me, I'm on your side here.
Whoa whoa whoa. You like challenge? But most of your posts I've seen have been RAGE over the number of times your characters get defeated and here, lately, against increasing difficulty in the game. <_> Make up your mind!

given it was a squishy AoAC toon with no con. but even so just because it was a squishy toon does that mean I should be happy to die to henchmen?
If you bite off more than you can chew, yes. That's what squishy means. Someone pokes you and you go squish. If you want to rectify that, change stance, take a defense, and stop being squishy. Not all character builds can be good. I was trying to level an all-blast-attack character like a year back. It was a terrible build, it was a stupid idea, it didn't work. I didn't complain because it was just a bad build. All things considered, I would not want the game balanced around that character. That would make all of my whatever-build characters be totally overpowered.
Sometimes builds are just bad, dude. If you're too squishy, fix the build, not the game.
build was shockingly similar to one of kenpo's which he says soloed Moreau's lab at lvl32.
Oh boy! Haven't heard THIS line before. Oh wait, scratch that.
Tell us again how it's everyone else's fault you have such a hard time with this game.
It's always something like: "The game is too hard" or, "so-and-so's build doesn't cut it". Why not a new excuse like: "The alignment of the planets is throwing me off" or, "Thanks, Obama"? Moderated in 3...2...

Can we stop using Kenpo as an example already?
Hey here's an idea, maybe Kenpo made a bad build and he actually had to proceed very carefully through Moreau's Lab to solo it. Heck if I'm careful and slow enough I could solo the place on my Soldier.
Oh wait, did I just say Kenpo made a bad build? Oh lord, here comes the angry mob with their torches and pitch forks u_u

CO is actually very easy.

My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Really? :eek:
Ok, I'm thinking some pretty horrific thoughts in response to this so I'll just not mention any of them and ask you to elaborate further please.

Did the character go down fighting? I don't see how happy fits the scenario. That being said, happy new year Gradi.
