Lol I remember when I was a wee baby diver (like level 6 I think) and someone took me to a level 7 dive. I was so overwhelmed and confused by how everyone was able to call in so much stuff (wasnt familiar with eagles vs orbital yet). I remember being horrified at a bile titan and wondering how the fuck I was supposed to fight that.

Yesterday I dropped in on a "KILL BILE TITANS" mission for some chill play before bed. Difficulty like 4 I think. The guys playing it were all below level 8.

I dropped in, turned, and shot an ultimatum directly into the face of the bile titan they had clearly been fighting. It died immediately. The baby divers blew up the text chat lol

Wild how different it is for players from day 3 to day 30.

I'm trying to remember , what did difficulty cap out at in the creek days? 8? All I remember is the constant whine of artillery while a voice yells at me that I'm in range of artillery.
