Simple suggestion for Advanced and Elite Difficulty

So I've been playing around with Advanced, and Elite Difficulty in game on various missions. One thing that struck me is that if you die, and are forced to respawn, you start at the very beginning of the map. To me this is very time consuming because typically the biggest, baddest, mobs are at the end of the map, and typically is the one that ends up killing you. I spend more time just trying to run to where the mobs are at, than actually fighting them. I believe there should be some "Checkpoints" along the map as you go so that if you do wipe, and have a shorter distance to run back.

On another note, I was doing the B'Tran cluster daily missions and came to a ground mission, set to Advanced. I encountered some odd issues, while doing it. Now my Engineer is pretty set up as well as my bridge crew. I've got pretty much all Purple or blue weapons, shields, and armor. There were 3 groups of monsters on the map I encountered. The First set dropped pretty quickly, and although challenging was easy to get them down. The second group was more difficult than the first set, and managed to kill me and my crew at least 3 times. It was some what disheartening, but it's Advanced mode... i'm ok with that.

The Third set of mobs was just nuts. I was getting two shotted by the mobs, and considering what I was wearing seemed a bit OP for me. I had to respawn and run back at least 10 times to which made me think up some of the suggestions above. I don't mind trying to figure it out, but when half my time is spent running back to the mobs, it gets a little frustrating.

I ended up just giving up because I spent at least 2 hours trying to get it done and it wasn't really worth it at that time. Also considering the difficulty there should be some greater rewards than a higher chance to get a purple item.

Anyway just my thoughts on this, but I think the Advanced and Elite modes need to be reviewed a little for difficulty and add check points to the maps in the game. That would make me a happy camper. :)

    "KHAAAAANNN!!"

    Sorry, I could not resist.

    ...and yes. I agree with you, especially on the check point system for the quests. :)
