Summary0007270: Anachronism reflected damage WAY too painful.
DescriptionI just managed to accidentally kill myself in about half a second... having 300 hit points and a DPS of 650.

Can this be tweaked to maybe 1/10th... to 1/20th... of the damage delivered? I'm not balanced for PvP! :)

As another note, could the damage reflection end once the mission is completed with a victory? I must be a moron, because every time I successfully complete this mission, I end up dying because I immediately forget that the remaining enemies reflect damage and die.

I have been routinely avoiding Anachronism missions since the changes. I tend to play glass cannons and a single misplaced shot has gotten me killed quite a few times.

From the patch notes:
"This makes the anachronisms a lot less "black and white" in terms of losing the puzzle of them. If you attack the natives too much then you'll wind up killing yourself with your own damage; but aside from that you can't accidentally lose the mission by attacking the wrong enemy anymore."

Instant deaths are much more frustrating for me on an accidental hit than an instant fail followed by an immediate retry.

The damage needs to be toned down a bit, maybe to 50%. Depending on your stats, it might be possible to kill yourself in one shot if you're below 50% health. And in my opinion dying is worse than failing ten missions.

Sometimes this mission is absolutely brutal. You get ten ground enemies in a small space: rhinos, tornadoes, and robots. And if they're magma rhinos you can't even see them behind their fire.
