| Summary | 0026479: Discussion: Expert Mode Hack Exo Strike Strength | ||||
| Description | Expert Mode's Exo Strike hack responses can get quite insane, with dif 7 dropping some dire guardians on you and dif 9 outright deploying golems. Personally I feel like these could take a nerf in strength, as these feel very overtuned. Anyone else have some thoughts on this matter? | ||||

There seems to be a consensus that they're too strong, but how much too strong ... is a question. I would suggest as a first-pass tweak to lower the current amount of hacking exos by a third at least, maybe half. For others interested in holding forth, as I understand it the modifiers for the size of these are hardcoded per mode. Meaning, whatever adjustment we make will apply to *all* modes proportionally. So this balancing issue will not just be about Expert. |

I did a little testing and basically even hacking for your first ship line from an ARS in Difficulty 5 Expert resulted a 25 guardian wave consisting of carriers and tethuida plus hundreds of strike. The second ship hack resulted in a Dire Plasma making an appearance plus chaff. The modifier on Expert is notably too high considering the wave responses are often triple what HA gets. I'd suggest a cut to only being about forty percent higher than whatever HA is set at and tweak from there. |

I'm very surprised that people want the exos increased by so small an amount! If people want that then I'm going to remove the lobby setting option and just hardcode things. |

* Change the post-hacking exo strength on Challenger/Expert/Deathwish ** Post-hackign exos are now (compared to HA) *** 2.5x stronger on Challenger *** 4x stronger on Expert *** 6x stronger on Deathwish **** This is down from 10x stronger on Expert/Deathwish |
