Seasonal difficulty broken

I random queued on my main and it went fine. I noticed some big hits but nobody downed. Then i switched to my new alt and random queued into a group with 3 lvl 20s. We got destroyed in a few seconds. Something broken here. I swear everytime the devs release broken content. This should be easily done by minimum lvl but nope lvl 20s destroyed in seconds.

Maybe the buff isn't working.

So it's the same as it always is? Dont worry, in a few days they'll nerf it so hard that a level 10 can solo it in under a minute..just like they did with summer

Yeah by next week it will be at difficulty level: potato. Like they did for the summer seasonal.

I guess no one tested sub-level 30. This week sucks for your alt.

I'm all for a challenge but this is just frustrating because it's been impossible since I've started trying it. I don't want it to be easy particularly but I'd like it to be freaking possible. I hope it is broken. If it's not, I simply give the hell up.

So far no fun and I think that's disappointing. I was actually looking forward to these runs. That may have been my error.

Is there an outside component or is it only a four player? At least can get some marks that way

The outside part is worth 4, inside is 6.

Well for summer until it was needed so hard I only did outside and was still able to get all feats on x1. Lower alts can farm outside at least

Odd, just completed it easily with a random pug group of L12-19.

Just buy the Spooky Bites.

Every event every year its the same. Idky they even bothered to do the whole stat clamping thing. There is always an issue. Imo that shows clamping was not a good idea and it baffles me how people want other content clamped after seeing the event problems.

Something in DCUO not working???? **** lol everything works in this game..."Working As Intended"

I ran it on 3 low level alts, everything went fine when everyone new what to do. I did wipe a couple times on one alt, then a group member left and new group member new what to do, we finished in good time. Just a note, hitting boss with the crystal doesn't help.

Are the directions on what to do clear this time? Cause they definitely weren't on swamp thing and only marginally less so on summer

Also..keep in mind that this is the first time most xbots are running this. I'm still updating but I'll try at least my main tomigjt. Even clamped a 174 should be able to solo it

Mepps be like; "Working as intended"

Ok..done it 4 times now. No real issues at all. Obviously having a good group is key, but if a person is even slightly paying attention then it's not hard to figure out what to do. Haven't tried on any of my sub 30s though. I normally don't do the inside part on this anyway because I know it won't go well

Buff is working, I think CR differential is at play here, taking in a lot of damage on my bellow level 20 alts.

People not being aware of basic game mechanics or not able to read and follow instructions has nothing to do with clamping. They could clamp DWF between 160 and 170 and people would complain that they can't complete it because of evil clamping although lots of people were perfectly fine to complete it within that CR range. They could remove clamping from seasonals and sub-30s would still complain that they can't beat it without high CR players because clamping isn't the problem (unless it's bugged).

That said, we all know that CR differential scaling is rarely working as intended which may be the reason why many difficulty complaints came from sub-30s for the last few seasonals. Blaming all problems on clamping doesn't make any sense for sub-30s because they are the ones benefiting from it while high-CR characters are the ones who get clamped down.
If many people can't finish it even though they are following the objectives then something is broken though and needs to be fixed. That's true for all content.

I random queued in with my level 20 alt into a group of 2 lvl 16 and one lvl 19. We completed the instance (took two attempts since they didn't know the fight and had to have it explained to them) with very few problems...after it was explained to them.

I think that these "issues" aren't really issues with the instance but more so with new players not knowing the mechanics and what to do.

Wonder how much of this 'event difficulty is broken' is coming from DiPS who don't understand tactics and strategy (as someone already mentioned, you don't hit the Emo Pilgrim Boy with the crystal, you use that to get rid of the pesky ghosts)
