Hi Devs,

The difficulty of this mission is too much.

There are not enough people playing the game these days to gather a squad to complete it and just results in new players becoming frustrated and giving up and leaving the game.

New players do not want to be forced into begging for help or feel they are being forced into joining a clan or they will be left to rot and ignored. Therefore any sensible person will just say "OK I'm off to play another game, bye bye !"

All Story missions up to Siri should be adjusted slightly to be possible solo with some effort and a few Gravitons here and there IMHO.

Where there are players that prefer to play in squads, then that is already taken care of as alot of the missions already become more difficult according to the number of players in sq. ie. More mantis dropping on your head :)

Not everyone has rare ship, full membership, damage booster and thoses drones at that level ;) But proceeding the same way with 2 shocks or 1 shock and 1 storm should make it easy for anyone without gravs/drones/boosters/whatever.

Actually, if you watch the video, he did it with full terasa (armor lvl 21, items lvl 20). But as TheWindsurfer points, not everybody has rare shock and other stuff at that level (the video is only for high level players). The main problem is the shortage of energy. Even if you could have the rare shock, you will run out of energy in middle of mission (unless, of course, you have membership). Anyway, I think nobody did this mission solo when first tried even in the old days when it was possible to do it with full Lustra items and Deluvian armor.

X-Shock can be dropped even with Terasa tech. That's for sure. With blue shock and without spaceball drone it's completable ofc. But ye, I dont know if I said in video or not, 75% membership atleast is compulsory for solo making. But you see. It's squad mission done solo. So if you don't have such things like membership, boosters etc., you can still ask for 1 person help with that kind of more premium items such like rare ship, item shop boosters etc.

Yes , that all being said , Can u imagine a new player going to lustra and grinding out a x-shock , being stunned to death and then after all that , finding out that he/she needs to pay to win ?

Enough to make them think that it will just get worse and worse as they progress through the systems.


Whereas ofc in reality it's perfectly possible to solo yourself right up to Gaz.

My point is that this mission is not balanced according to where it is in the early stages of a new player that is just finding his/her way.

in fact , how would a new player even know to go to lustra and get a x-shock? lol

Video just was to show how to make it solo. It's mostly made for people who want to help these ones that can't do it because they are beginners. No1 said you have to do it solo since it's even prefered to do it in squad. So help of 1 person is enough. It's just funny when people needs full squad for that mission. It's easy to make if you have even 3 people of beginners so no, i can't agree that this sm is not balanced according to the tech. It's still not a solo mission. But it's possible to do it this way too ofc.
