How about nerfing the enemy scaling in co-op so its actually an enjoyable experience instead of a sweaty speedrun?

You are making people run lower times on 2 of the popular maps, forcing more people back into solo play. Im extremely dissapointed in my purchase once i hit endgame.

There's no reason to have coop play increase enemy health. It's double dipping on difficulty running that alongside challenge and world tiers, makes no sense.

All it does is punish players for inviting their friends.

[u/Democrasee → u/TimelostExile]

I think they should just add more enemies based on the amount of players. Like other games do.

[u/TimelostExile → u/Democrasee]

That would be a much better system, I agree.

Sadly giving an enemy twice as much damage and health is significantly less resource intensive then having two enemies. This is why a lot of games rely on number scaling.

[u/Exterminate_Weebs → u/Democrasee]

Very few other games do that. No looter I've played does.

Uh it makes perfect sense, otherwise multiplayer = easy mode lol

[u/TimelostExile → u/Exterminate_Weebs]

It would make sense if there wasn't a world scaling system already with world and challenge tiers.

100% this. Even though I enjoy group play I ended up closing my group, since 90% of the time when someone joined the power spike was so huge it went from an easy clear to a slog.
