Difficulty Scaling
Warhammer 40K FeedbackThe difficulty scaling in the game is rather uneven. For example misssions of levels plus:
+8 is -84% damage dealt, +264% damage suffered - i.e. you are dealing about 12% of normal damage and taking 2.6 times damage
+9 is -90% damage dealt, +334% damage suffered i.e. you are dealing 10% of normal damage and taking 3.3 time normal damage
+10 is -95% damage dealt. +412% damage suffered - i.e. you are dealing 5% of normal damage and taking over 4 times normal damage
+11 is -99% damage dealt, +499% damage suffered i.e. you are dealing 1% of normal damage and are taking 5 times normal damage
+12 is -99% damage dealt, +594% damage suffered i.e. you are dealing 1% of normal damage and are taking 6 times normal damage
+13 is -99% damage dealt, +697% damage suffered i.e. you are dealing % of normal damage and are taking 7 times normal damage
Theoretically speaking the progression from +8-+9 is about 35% harder, from +9 to +10 is about 65% harder, from +10 to +11 is about 600% harder and from +11 to +12 is about 12% harder, +12 to +13 is about 17% harder.
In short, the jump from +10 to +11 is massive and the jump for every level after is tiny.
I think the difficulty scaling could do with some revision especially since every build that has been easily capable of of +11 and beyond has been on the receiving end of a heavy nerf, such as vulnerability multiplying with the Uncreator rune and Berserker builds.
I would suggest that instead of jumping from 95% damage dealt debuff to 99% damage dealt debuff, values between 95 and 99 are considered since every 1% change increase from 95% is effectively huge.
I would also state that effective builds at the 99% damage debuff (i.e. levels _11 and beyond) are few and far between and force players into using very specific "meta" builds to be able to even complete missions of this difficulty.

We are planning to revise the difficulty scaling because of the same reason you mentioned. :)
Set this current order state as My default.
