Insanity difficulty is too easy
Please increase the difficulty, or add an additional mode.

tbh, I'm actually having a time of it with my Insanity run. started a new character after I finished my first play thru. Didn't start a NG+ run (posted a question asking about how NG+ works already but at the time I started the new toon, didn't understand how it worked) but rather I made a brand new toon and put it on Insanity difficulty. Got to Eos and the "ambush" at Site 1 and this is where my troubles begin.The best attempt for me was that I can get the mobs down to 2 left and then I die. (it's not even the fiend that's killing me, it's the kett) After about 2 hours of doing this ambush over and over and over, I gave up ...for now.
I'm guessing that Insanity plays out differently if you're running a NG+ due to the stuff that carries over??

For this fight, the easiest way.. is don't leave the room. Put one guy on left and right of door. Sit at the back behind desks and wait for the kett to come to you. And just pick them off as they enter.. With the fiend. Get on roof above it, dodge it's attacks and kill it.

True. potentially the first "overwhelming" encounter in the game. Not sure if it is designed that way. but for me in my first playthrough this was the mission that tought me the importance of being mindful of your surroundings. Like going to rooftops, finding multiple covers (enemies from every direction), using the jetpack in combat. That sort of thing.
hahaha yeh.. using that "hover and fire mode" what a joke.. they just shoot you out of the sky.. it's great for distance shots from cover like a rock or something with sniper or close by to ambush 1-2 leftover units.. but not in the heat of the moment. Havarl is a nightmare as well, they just shoot you through the foilage.. you can't see the Roekaar. they are lethal, have to run to cover, peep, spot, peep, shoot a little.. lol. It's intence. But the straight on fights are great. In Insanity level. But you need to be real careful with rushing into combat.. died so many times charging in and getting the floor blown out from under me as I realised there's a dozen more Kett surrounding me that I didn't even know were there.
Don't know if the game is lagging somehow but they sometimes just don't show up as blips unless you have direct line of sight.

By the time I got to Havarl, I'd already crafted my sniper rifle and spec'd so that I could see thru walls when aiming. Those Roekaar were easy to spot thru the foliage ...and if they can see you thru them, means I can shoot them thru it too ...it's those invisible creatures that annoyed me more on that planet the first play thru
edit: those kett manage to blend in on almost every environment they are in, must be a product of their genetic engineering but yea, many times I've gotten killed on my first normal play thru because I rushed in and got surrounded by kett before I realized they were there

I figured out that this was the room to be in. Now all I gotta do is have the patience to wait for them all to come to me :P
yeh i find alot of the game is just picking the right spot to fight from.. it's only when you get stuff like ancient fiends wandering into the middle of a roekaar fight that it all goes to..
Unfortunately a few bugs in relation to distance fighting, ai doesn't really react well in many occasions, but expect that'll be fixed.. I actually got killed earlier by basic kett during a narrative only run. Lol.. easiest level in the game and the ganked me because I wasn't paying attention to my location.
Oh of course the infiltrator perk.. never thought of that. Yeh I'll set that up.
The wraiths you can spot either as a slight shimmer.. but I usually run around with my scanner out.. easy to spot then.
I really like about the game is that you can just knock the diff down a level if it's insane.. then pop it back up for the next encounter.. instead of having to completely restart a game.
Also a few places where they spawn "en masse" and just swarm you.. there I just stand on top of the nomad or a rock.. thank god for rocks..
