If you guys think map monster difficulty is doing a lot now... you should have tried map monster difficulty 3 years ago lol. Maybe drops were not as good back then, but it was REALLY doing a lot :lol:
Monster difficulty maps have been nerfed hard since the rewrite but it’s still the best map mod IMO. By contrast, event monster difficulty has never really done much, and event base monster difficulty does even less. That is... except for that one time, when Paul accidentally gave us the glorious ~225% monster difficulty event for several hours. I still have dreams that we were allowed to have a whole week with it. Best event ever, and only time I ever saw Alex die :thumbsup:
I'm not saying that maps are doing a lot, I am saying that you can notice a big difference compared to the monster difficult from event.
We are also doing high level exploring as full groups, while you're farming lower level stuff and most often not in full groups.
So Yes we def do notice difference when we're level 100+ against these types of monsters.
The biggest difference we can tell after the rewrite is that the mons life/stats/diff is making us level faster (even when exploring, cause every monster gives alot more exp) which also makes it harder to do MM etc.
But yeah before the rewrite mon dif did alot more than life/stats did, now we cant barely tell any difference that it's there at all.
