Can we at least get an explanation?

[CONQUEST UPDATE

Reduce Miniboss and Boss difficulty
Reduce Treasure Room difficulty

I am going with it was intentional since they did state "fixed" or "corrected"

You're giving them too much credit. They did 0 testing. As per usual.

It was intentional. They wanted to push consumables, and the only way to do that is to force players to use them by creating very difficult boss battles. I wouldn't mind using them if they were free in the consumables nodes, like data discs, but they weren't, so no thanks.

Now if they could just dial down the difficulty in the DS fleet battles in TB to a sane level too...

The only question I have ist this: If it really was intentional, will they now slowly up the difficulty step by step in hopes we don't realise it as much?

We already sometimes do have posts where people ask if the difficulty was increased and if others don't feel the effect of it instantly because the creep will be gradual, they have better mods or higher Relics, they will think it's all good and tell those users so.

Exactly! They learned from their mistake of increasing it too much at once, and now will do it more slowly, which will be harder to detect. Insidious

Much like the frog in the pot of water coming to a boil.

For the Conquest Debacle. I just want to know if the increased difficulty was intentional? I'm assuming it was and was done to get players to spend more on consumables and the passes. The whole thing is disheartening

I am going with not intentional, given that the S1 sector bosses each had a feat to beat without GL's or force users. Putting these as feats when the bosses were virtually unbeatable with the exception of 1 GL and a couple of other team comps, screams to me that it was a mistake. These wouldn't have been feats if it was intentional.

I'm pretty sure it was intentional. It's crazy. Let's see how many players in my guild will leave after this TB. It seems CG can afford to lose their Kraken, whales, dolphins... but I'm sure CG did the math and it seems better for them to make the conquest worser...

Well the new packs they are selling will make up for the small losses, which was included in the math.

No! Their distraction is working!

The vast majority of those posts are baseless. The current conquest issue does not add any credence to them.

When the entire community noticed that this Conquest was overtuned, CG listened and responded swiftly. They should not do that every time someone posts “the Krayt Dragon got buffed”.

You seem to have misunderstood me. The reason why I mentioned people posting about the difficulty is for that exact reason. In most cases it is baseless so people get used to posts that are not warranted. Like the boy crying wolf...
Also people just noticed because it was a huge difference in difficulty and like I said, if they slowly up the difficulty it will not be immediately noticed by everyone. Combine this with someone posting they detected an increase (in case it got increased) and they would be seen as exactly someone who is just imagining this because others maybe didn't notice so they think that person is one of those whom make a baseless assumption.

Also on a sidenote I never said anywhere CG should change the difficulty just because someone makes a post if they didn't change anything. Don't know where you got that from. I was talking about a situation where they actually increase it.
