Ladder Slasher: Increased Monster Difficulty events dialed back and capped at a much lower value (Sep 24 2020)

The new event is now at 52.17% instead of 94.44%

Don’t say things like that cause you know it’s bad and don’t make Paul 2nd guess the change.literally zero IQ from people who think Paul don’t read it. Monster diff was dogshit that high for the game.


Seriously though! Randomly making the game so hard that new/average players have difficulty playing isnt a good way to get the community to grow. Especially if the new player was on HC and not realizing there was such a ridiculous event active dies then quits.

15-25% MD is the optimal amount imo. It makes the mobs noticeably stronger without making it so OP that its not fun to play.

:rofl: mao ... it got dialed back because people cry about it ... talk about giving in to the masses that are scared.

Was hoping for the 94.44 MD event too, even on Bufcore.


The fact you think 94.44% MD is a good idea should tell everyone else how horrid it was in reality....

Can we stop acting like 95% MD is nice in anyway ? Like we would still climb, less obv but it was legit only a pain in the ass.



Yeah there was no benefit to having monsters twice as difficult, it doesnt feel like it affects drops nearly as much as that kind of power increase should. It ultimately just made solo a pain in the ass and group climbs longer without a reward.

Plus side was ALOT more prof per climb lolol

You miss the point... I played the last 9x MD and did not find it horrid at all with my mediocre gear, I am playing this event @ 5x% MD on Bufcore with even worse gear, and it is still not horrid to play... the point is, it is part of the game, it got capped for people that cry because they have to add more points to Vitality on softcore with way better equipment.

It is not about 95% MD being nice, it is about the fact that it is part of the game and it is now capped, which means it won't be part of the game ever again.

07 I don't care votes.

At time of that thread being posted, the Event Had 94.44% MD, exactly the same as this one before it got capped... Well, the criers got their wish, it got nerfed. Think you are the one that is delusional.

As a solo slasher that has grinded pretty hard in 2020 only to fall flat on my face a couple times all I can say is thank you very much! I deleted my last two characters and took a couple months hiatus from Ladder Slasher, because they both died with a 90+% increased monster difficulty event. I swear I had died at the exact same time I had exited the Catacombs. Such a tough way to go down. Was I crying about it? Sure, why not? It hurt investing that time for nothing.

It was tough erasing over 30,000 kills and a rank 7 warhammer proficiency on my Sorsha and Buffy which I had remade into mules. I'm pacing myself and playing very casually with MachineGunKelly this season. I started playing US East softcore ladder on Diablo II again and I'm very much a daily Heroes of the Storm player. So my Ladder Slasher gameplay isn't 24-7 like it could be. I try to find an hour a day to play when I can. I'll ease my way back into a competitive spirit.
