Difficulty

Is there any upcoming increase to difficulty? With the addition of runes everyone's power both new and old has become greatly increased and now the Keep is easily AFKable. Right now it feels like there needs to be a new modifier or completely new difficulty. I don't know what the new difficulty would offer outside of obviously stronger enemies but I feel like DDA needs an increase in challenge now that we've been geared up.

with the second part of episode 2 there will be a new boss and therefor a higher teir difficulty then the keep. hopefull its here in the next 3 months. hope this helps

The Keep AFK'able..... Right......

 

This game can be as difficult as you want it to be in endless survival.

Even prior to runes, if you were geared up, soloing most maps become trivial. I like the power fantasy that comes with games like this as it takes a considerable amount of time to get there.

 

 

Their plan for Episode 2 Part 2 is to release in Q1, so probably in March.  It's going to include 2 new maps, new hero, new boss, and level cap increase.  So Massacre will likely remain the highest difficulty, but there will be a more difficult modifier beyond Lycan King.
